I've got an idea for a game I'm making that makes use of both mouse buttons, but the pesky right click menu always gets in the way. I've been doing some research, and I've heard tell of some "authorware" programs that disable the menu? I've also heard that disabling the right click menu voids some kind of warranty.
View 1 RepliesCan anyone tell me if there is any way by which I can disable the right-click menu in Flash (SWF not EXE) , completely (I don't even want the About Macromedia.. link). I know that its possible to add ContextMenu items but I don't want to show the Settings.. or the About Macromedia.. items too.

View 12 RepliesBasically, I have a button and on click it displays a menu. I want to click that menu a second time and the menu closes. Currently, every time you click the button, the menu reopens. I pasted the Flex livedoc example below. If you click the button, the menu keeps reopening.Now, I rigged it up by setting a var to open and closed, so when clicking the button it does a check. However, if you click away from the screen, the HIDE event gets dispatched, and the menu closes. This messed up the open close var being set.
How could I make this Flex example below show the menu on button click, and then on a second button click, it closes the menu? Take into affect that if you click away from the menu, it closes it.Also, I played around with the MOUSE_DOWN_OUTSIDE event for the button and set the preventDefault, and the FlexMouseEvent event.cancelable is set to false.Changing to a PopUpMenuButton is not an option. I have to much skinning involved.Here is the Flex example:

Whats the script to disable right click in AS3? or jus show a single link when the user rightclicks the swf?
View 2 RepliesI have a menu for a website I'm making that consists of buttons that play a drop-down menu movie clip when the mouse moves over them. The problem is, if the user moves the mouse off the button the movie clip stops playing and disappears. I would like it so that if the user moves the mouse away from the button, the drop-down movie clip will reverse itself from its current position and move back up into the button.I've been trying to use the on (rollout) condition, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
View 1 RepliesI've created a gallery to play some FLV videos and after getting the thumbnail buttons to go and play on specific frame labels, I now need to disable the button that was clicked and have it re enabled when I click on a different button. Here is my code so far:
stop();
btn01.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn02.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);
btn03.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);

I've created a sliding menu that has a left button and a right button. Each button slides a background movieclip to the left or right. The background mc eases into position when one of the buttons is clicked. Problem is that buttons can still be clicked while the mc is easing into position. This throws off my x coordinate positioning of the mc. I've tried disabling the buttons and enabling them again at a few different points in my code. I've also tried using a time delay to enable the buttons but my logic isn't working. I've stripped the code that was not working out.

View 3 RepliesI have a series of buttons that when clicked will enter a character into a dynamic textfield. Here is my code:
on (release) {
//if the focus is on the answer text box
if (_root.answerFocus) {

This works but I dont know how to get round the following issues: Once a button is pressed the cursor moves out of the textbox once the character is placed inside, each character always goes to the end of my text line (as += implies but I can't find a workaround).
So I know Flashvars uses a lot different methods in AS3 because of the loader classes and all that. How do I disable the button and make it only display the second frame to the button corresponding to the page that the user is currently on?I've called a variable in the HTML document using query string (or I could use Flashvars just as easy if that makes it easier) called "currentPage" and on each page in the HTML give it a page name.I know how to grab the variable from the HTML into a text field in the SWF (see this tutorial) but I'm having trouble manipulating my menu buttons.
View 0 RepliesThe menu is like this http:[url]... (the site is in portuguese but it doesnt matter), when I click in on menu the actual menu does an alpha to 0 and the next menu appears using the alpha from 0 to 100 (and some animations like the cellphone going up).Now, how can I do a menu like that, whatever the menu I choose, it does that alpha animation ?
View 1 RepliesI am wondering how can one stop the user from clicking on a button (MC) without using btn.enabled = false.example: i have a menu that has buttons which have tweens on rollover and onRelease events. I want to be able to click on home for e.g. disabling all other buttons to avoid user clicking but still keep the rollover. I have tried btn.enabled = false and of course i dont want to disable the entire btn and instead i want to disable just the onRelease event or even avoid the mouse from clicking until the animation finish. Only Then, user can click on another menu button.
View 3 RepliesAnybody know how to create a custom 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?
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

how to add a right click menu with a custom item?
I have an array for my menu and submenus.It works fine, but I have to click again on the menu to close it.When it's open it's completly open it takes too much space.how I could make a menu close when I click on another menu item..this is the code on the frame on my main timeline:
MenuArray=new array();
MenuArray[1]=menu1;
MenuArray[2]=menu2;[code].....
I've got a drop down menu. I want to click a tab to make it drop then, if it's open, click it again to close. I've tried a million variations on the script below:
var btn_grp1:String
function main1Down(event:MouseEvent):void {
if (btn_grp1 != "dwn") {
[Code]....
This works too (once). So the drop down buttons all disapear again, but it won't re-set. The drop down menu stays up from then on.
BTW i'm not set on this method, it just seemed the most obvious i.e. if menu hidden, then show it, set some variable to down (showing), else hide the menu, set var to up (hidden). Not working though.
I have a Movie Clip configured as a Button and I wanted to know how to make the cursor transform into a pointer (little hand) when it's over tat movieclipBut well that was just not the point of the Post what really interests me is that when I click that MC a Pop up menu appears (another MC) but if i decide not to click any of the buttons in that menu the menu will stay there until I click another button or something and i will want it to disappear if a click it for a second time or something like that.

I need selectable text that can be copied. Some users are used to copy with Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac), and some are used to right click and select "Copy".
Using s:RichEditableText, there is no "Copy" in right click menu: http://d.pr/xWXW. Using mx:Text, there is "Copy" in right click menu, but it doesn't copy anything: http://d.pr/vtiw
Ctrl+C works for both s:RichEditableText and mx:Text.
Is there a property or something to enable "Copy" in right click menu for s:RichEditableText?
