Broker ActionMenu

OMG... coolest. mod. ever. I have always wanted something like this! You ROCK!

One question though... could you also make the custom macro feature stand-alone within a LDB? The reason I ask is that I already use Macro Broker but it doesn't have the cool feature of being able to make a drop-down menu. Some "launchers" I created with Macro Broker I use a lot and so I dont want them in a drop-down menu... is there a way to incorporate that into this mod so I dont have to use both?

I have met the following error when I click "Add extra entry"
I am using Bazooka LDB

Really great idea, working like a charm with Docking Station as LDB display on german client. Thank you very much for this, already freed 15 actionbar buttons

Two requests, may be you find them usefull: I would like to give each ActionMenu its own icon, I happen to have 5 ActionMenus right now and each own shows the green recycle icon.

Second, for some ActionMenus it would be great if they could be shared between all toons. May be you could make a option to an ActionMenu to have it char-specific or account-specific.

Thanks for reading, have agreat day.

I'm so glad you took the time to implement the two things Xanatandor requested. I must've found this shortly after you did, and it's absolutely perfect. Then, I was able to recommend this to "Ian" in response to this article on WoW.com. Thank you for an amazing, robust, and tremendously useful addon!

Are you going to be able to update this for WoW 4.0.1, please?

Edit: The above error may have been due to me including an item in my menu that no longer exists. I'm not sure, and I don't remember exactly what was in there. Perhaps this error will be more important:

I feel your pain. lol I'm hacking patches into half a dozen different abandoned addons. This patch cycle is being especially annoying to me. Thank you for your work!

YAY!! Thanks for updating this... I missed it! =/

Awesome addon !!!

With so many addons out there it's hard to find something new, but Broker ActionMenu really stands out.
The option to add customized LDB icons even made it better, i'm glad you've updated it for Cataclysm.

I use Bazooka for displaying my LDB addons, and as you might know it's a bar.
When you click one of the LDB's made by Broker ActionMenu it always pops up on the left side of the LDB icon when the icon is on the top bar or on the right side when the icon is located on the bottom bar, that looks a bit strange on a bar.
So my first request: Can you make an option where you can choose where to show the pop-up (left, right, top, bottom side of the LDB icon) ?

Second request: An option to leave the pop-up screen visible after you press a button.
Right now the pop-up screen is gone as soon as you press something on it.
But what in some cases would be great is it to stay on screen untill you:
-1 Press the LDB icon again
-2 Press <esc>
-3 Press a button on your character's ActionBar
But leaving it visible on screen when you press buttons in some kind of menu (open a bag, open your spellbook or use buttons in another addon).

When Broker ActionMenu wasn't updated right after the 4.0.1 patch, i went looking for an alternative addon and found YssDrop. This addon only handles LDB icons, but does it in a same sort of way as BAM does. But that's not the point.
What is is the fact that it does exactly what i discribed in my second request: It's the only LDB addon i know that leaves the pop-up screen open on screen for so long. So maybe you can check it to see if it's anything to add to Broker ActionMenu.

I hope you like any of the ideas.

Good luck and thanks a lot for bringing up this addon !

Hi, This is a fantastic addon and does exactly what I needed!

However I was wondering if it were possible to make just a single button say to just turn a macro into a broker button instead of using a sub-menu to house it.

Anyway thanks for the addon and keep up the awesome work!

Hi, first of all - great Addon.

I have one single question.
Is there a way to call the frame by pressing a kgpanelframescript?
i tried:
if Dewdrop20Level1 then
Dewdrop20Level1:Show()
end

but this is only bringing up an empty frame at its standartstartposition.

Thanks
