Change label of a NativeMenuItem

Question

I'm experimenting with Adobe AIR and Google Maps API in Flex Builder. The question is, i'm making a NativeMenu, and was wondering, how can I change the label of the "Fullscreen" item to "Exit fullscreen" when the stage is in fullscreen?

If you see any thing in the code that could/should be written better, please let me know ;)

Here is my code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication 
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" 
layout="absolute"
height="600"
width="700"
minHeight="100"
minWidth="100"
showStatusBar="false"
title="Gmaps 0.002"
>
<maps:Map 
xmlns:maps="com.google.maps.*" 
id="map" 
mapevent_mapready="onMapReady(event)" 
width="100%" 
height="100%" 
url="" 
key=""
/>

   <mx:Button id="fullscreenButton" click="toggleFullScreen()"/>
<mx:Script>

hello,

in order to change a label into a NativeMenu, you can try this

yourNativeMenu.getItemAt(0).label="new_label";

where getItemAt(0) return the first item in the NativeMenu
