i attached a custom contextmenu to a sprite. there is another sprite lying "on top" of this first one. so if i try to invoke the custom context menu of the first one, it does not show when the cursor is over the second one.
i already set the properties "mouseEnabled" and "mouseChildren" of the second one to "false"
I'm pretty sure my code is OK as the Context Menu shows nicely when I compile for web, but when I compile for AIR nothing shows up.

The problem is that the context menu does not change when I add items to it.
how to add a custom right click menu to a List box in flex (without using external JS, just using ContextMenu as Adobe intended.
Been tearing my hair out for ages trying to get my custom ContextMenu to apply to a TextArea, It will just display the default (copy, paste ect...).
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
public var nm:NativeMenu = new NativeMenu();
public var cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();[code].......
I have create a custom contextMenu using AS3 and can apply that to the stage. Any movie clip I place onto the stage does not inherit the contextMenu from the stage, i.e. they display the default contextMenu.How do I apply my custom contextMenu to every child in my application?
[edit]This is a simplified version of what I have in my main.as file:
var my_menu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_menu.hideBuiltInItems();
var my_copyright = new ContextMenuItem("Copyright - 2012");
I was adding a background image using stage.addChildAt(mc, 0);. For some reason this removes the context menu. Placing the child at 1 fixes this and allows everything to inherit the contextMenu.
I am getting troble of receiving displayObject. Here, I have three class : Control.as,Middle.as and OutPut.as here Control.as call Middle.as to put string Middle.as call OutPut.as to show string textField Out.as is extends of Sprite and shows TextField with value. But it does not show any textField Object. Could you find solution how could I show texField. Codding stuff are shown below.

This is probably something simple I'm missing. There are tons of tuts out there on how to setup a custom right-click menu, however, I've not seen anything on how to get the target of the right-click, not the menu item, but the object actually right-clicked...
Here's the code I'm using. In the customMenuItemHandler I need both the target menu item AND the target object that was originally clicked to open the menu.[code]...
I have a SWF with a custom cursor. When I test the SWF, the custom cursor works fine. When I directly access the SWF, on my website the cursor appears and functions fine. .
But when the SWF is in my HTML with CSS page, the cursor does not appear. I.E it is hidden. There is no cursor at all. My rollover functions seem to detect when the hidden cursor is over them.
Also, this is loaded with a external preloader, that was loaded by another SWF.
i was wondering if it is possible to add your own packages into flash so that they will so up when writing AS code. e.g if i write import flash.display. it offers me the content of that package. i would find it extremely helpful and useful when learning new api?s, but they wont show up. i have heard about other programming environments that offer such functionality, but is there a way to get this in flash CS4
View 6 RepliesI have made a script for a custom cursor, but the only problem is that when I hover the cursor over a button, the button shows on top of it and the cursor hides underneath and you can't really see what you're trying to click.
Here is my script:
Code:
onEnterFrame = function() {
cursor._x = _xmouse;
cursor._y = _ymouse;
Mouse.hide();
}
(The instance's name is "cursor")
I 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):
[AS]
root_cm = new ContextMenu();
root_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
root_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("Add to Favourites", itemHandler1))
root_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("send e-mail", itemHandler2));

I'm running into a problem where for my current project I need to use a large custom mouse for interaction throughout a website. The custom mouse (a movieclip) works fine until the user needs to select a option from a ComboBox.The custom mouse clicks the component fine but once the ComboBox expands with it's options the custom mouse appears behind the expanded list.Is there anything I can do to get this to work? I'd really rather not create a 'custom' comboBox for this project as the material was already prepared and set in stone. ps:: i found this information below, but it was for AS3 and I need AS2 and in any case didn't do anything for my movie when i tried it.
Code:
// http://danielmclaren.net/2008/03/tip...s-in-flash-as3
myCursor.mouseEnabled = false;

I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

How to include contextMenu for whole swf?
View 4 RepliesJust compiled it with amxmlc and it gave me errors over the presence of "customItems" - nothing else at all in the entire 1500+ line AS3/flex program. I took out the customItems reference and it compiles with amxmlc just fine. Nothing about that feature 'customItems' is indicated to be anything other than active and current in the documentation. All amxmlc actually does is add a command line argument for AIR to the standard mxmlc.
View 1 RepliesIf I open an empty FLA and put in this code:
Code:
var cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
cm.hideBuiltInItems();
this.contextMenu = cm;
Then it works and the context menu for the empty flash file has no built in items. But if I take a project that I already have, and in the class that gets compiled's constructor I put that exact same code, it compiles fine and everything but the context menu still has all of the default items no matter where I click.
So in AS2 you could add a contextMenu for the whole movie like this:

I have also tried just adding items to stage.contextMenu but that didn't work either. I also added a custom context menu to my Document class but that doesn't work for the whole movie. So does anyone know if there is something I can do to set the contextMenu for the whole movie?
Using contextMenu, i removed all BuiltInItems. Its working fine in IE.when i am viewing the same html file in mozilla, "Show Redraw Regions" option is still visible when i am right clicking on browser. In IE, its fine.
View 1 RepliesHow will I know the right click menu is currently open? Like a contextmenu.active = true property but that doesn't exist. An alternative would be a way to check if the user just right clicked but the right click event listener is for Adobe Air only as far as I know.
View 2 RepliesI just noticed that using the context menu will take away focus fronm the application.
Here is simple example: one part is similar to the example for flash.ui.ContextMenu, the other one just performs some action on keyboard events (the keys could as well be used to move the square around)

in a flash application i have to build i would like to find out what the target of the context menu is, which gets displayed when i ctrl-click.the reason for that: i created a custom context menu, which only displays over a certain area of the Sprite it belongs to. so there seems to be something "blocking the way".

I have a DataGrid with a custom itemRenderer(Canvas) which has a context menu on its right click. I am trying to get the data of the itemRenderer. I tried to find something in event & variables. I also tried with FlexNativeMenu on RIGHT_MOUSE_CLICK. But I didn't find any way out.

I am using a ContextMenu for an AdvancedDataGrid in my application. I could implement the normal context menu for the grid. Now, I am planning to make the context menu dynamic.For example, if I click on a particular cell, I need to see only the items related to that cell in the Context Menu. Is there any way we can do that?
