how to create a custome context menu (right click menu) in Flash?If it's not possible, wouldn't it be a good idea for Macromedia to put some kind of event or something in there?
View 2 RepliesI have custom context menus that I wish to disable when I do a certain action in the application, and re-enable them again once the action is finished. Kind of like using save as in a program. When the save window comes up all parts of the program is disabled except the save window.
When the window appears in my application, it doesn't cover the movieclips that I want to disable context menus for. So can I do this with Flash alone?

Example: right click onand see the custom context menu.Is this possible with pure javascript or do you have to use flash?Note, I'm looking for adding to the built in browser context menu, not using custom javascript popups to mimic them.
View 2 RepliesMy Flex 3 application uses a custom cursor and has to show a customized context menu when the user performs a right click. The problem is the customized menu is shown only when the default arrow cursor is shown. When I change it to the custom cursor, the standard context menu appears instead of the customized one.
Is there a way to have both custom cursor and customized context menu in a flash application?
How i open my custom menu over right click on Text Area control, currently default menue of paste, Copy, Cut etc is opened.Please keep in mind that i want to open custom context menu over TextArea Control of Flex.
View 1 RepliesWe've got a Flex application (using 3.0) which has some custom context menus. One thing we add is an "About..." entry which pops up an Alert with the application's version string and copyright information. Unfortunately, Flex seems to have recently taken a dislike to our caption -- supplying "About" or "About..." leads to the menu item not appearing (with no errors or trace output) while supplying (apparently) any other caption makes things work.

I have a Flex application, running with Flash Player, not AIR, that contains a Tree that I would like to put a custom context menu on.
Tried just doing <mx:Tree ... contextMenu="{MyClassWithStatic.menu}">, but that didn't do anything.
Went searching, and found this quote from some Adobe docs somewhere
In Flex or Flash Builder, only top-level components in the application can have context menus. For example, if a DataGrid control is a child of a TabNavigator or VBox container, the DataGrid control cannot have its own context menu.
so went upwards, trying each parent element until I reached my <Application>-element, which is consistent with what they wrote.
Tried making a Flex component, based on Group (the default) which contained my tree, and the context menu on the top-level element there, hoping it would work, but to no avail.
Is there any other way to manage this that I haven't found yet?
The code I use to create the menu:
var menuItems:Array = [];
var rename:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Rename");
rename.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,

View 1 RepliesI have set a custom context menu in a .swf, and I can see it normally when previewing it on flash (Test Movie).However, when I see it on my browser, I can't see the custom options (only the reduced context menu with settings and about macromedia...)On my first frame I have an actions layer with this (context + loader):

View 1 RepliesI have a Label in AS3 that I want to be selectable (.selectable = true) AND I want the clipboardMenu to show up on right-click ALONG with custom menu items.
If I do THIS:
var label:Label = new Label();

The label IS selectable - however ONLY the clipboard menu items are present.
How can I both make the label selectable AND have a menu with my custom items + standard clipboard items?
BTW - this is with an AIR application using the 3.2 SDK.
How does one get a custom context menu to just display new text so when you right click it says like:

What would be the code for this?

I'm trying to create an xml accordion menu that has main menus and a sub menus buttons (movieClips) revealed with a mask. Simple question, How do I stop the mask area which reveals the sub menus catching mouseEvents on the submenus?The main menu button is a movieClip, it has the mask sprite attached to it as a property so it can scale dynamically to reveal the subMenus. They are set as children of the main menu button container. In my code I've set mainMenu.mouseChildern = true. But when the mainMenu is clicked I change mouseEnabeled = false to help prevent the main menu receiving events. This helps on rollOver rollOut events, but when I click or mouseDown on the subMenu the mask catches the event also and activates the main menu again. I've tried the obvious mask.mouseEnabled = false; mask.mouseChildern = false; mask.hitArea = null; and even setting mask.alpha = 0 but this has no effect at all.
I don't understand why the mask has to extend the hitArea property of the mainMenu and why this can't be set to null. It also seems crazy that when mouseChildren = true the parent clip also has to receive notice of the event.
i wanted to place some credits item in the right button menu (no links, so no events, just a label with credits). i was looking the contextmenu help, and there is an example of how to add items, disable default items and so on, but i could not find how to attach the menu to the movie (the basic part). i tried both on 'stage' and it tells me that stage does not have a property called contextMenu, so i tried to attach it to a sprite, it runs ok and compiles ok but when i right click on the sprite i get the default menu

View 3 Replieshow to set up drop down (or pop up) menus in flash? I've tried several and get stuck at various points.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on [URL] and I'm having problems with the semi-transparent png backgrounds when I embed flash into the page, but only in Internet Explorer. See attached. notice how the semi-trans white seems to fade out away from the top left in the drop down, and in the 5-pixel border encircled. On pages without flash, it's fine. In Firefox, Safari, it's fine. I tried using the Unit PNG fix, and that made the image backgrounds look perfect, but then my drop-down hover menus became buggy, i.e. they would hide if you moused over link text in the menu and then moved back into the white empty space in the menu. Argh. I'm running IE 8.0.7077.0, Firefox 3.0.9, on Windows 7 build 7077 x64

View 2 RepliesI am working on a game in flex, and I am trying to figure out how to create menus in the game. I am was thinking it would be easy just to add and remove a child for the menu, but then it would be a pain to make interactive.I am trying to do both a pop up menu and an always on screen menu, like a bottom menu bar, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I am completely new to flash and flex and don't really know where to start past making the actual game.
