Right.  So if you were passing in the target as I described, this would
stay the same except it would be "target mainContent: action" instead of
self.

Why are you using a symbol (#InfoPage) instead of just referencing the
class directly?

Correct.  If you're creating the MenuBar from the MainPage, that'll
just be self.

Let me know if it still doesn't work for you.
