How to Access the Top Level String in a Panel Hierarchical Menu?

[clevername27]

Does anyone know how to access the top level string from a user's selection in a Panel?

Figured out—here's the code if anyone wants it:

1. When you call getPopupmenuItemText, set the last parameter to 0; this means don't truncate the menu text.

2. In the getPopupmenuItemText, substitute this code for the similar section:

   for(element in array) {
   if(element.indexOf("**") != -1) continue;
   if(element.indexOf("___") != -1)continue;
   if(index == i) {
   // Remove the menu name
   if(removeSub && element.indexOf("::") != -1) {
   return element.split("::")[2];
   } else {
   local parsedString = element.split("::");
   return parsedString[0]+": "+parsedString[2];
   }
   }
   i++;
   }
