ActionScript 3.0 :: Customization Of The Context Menu Not Working?
Nov 24, 2008
I'm currently learning ActionScript 3 and am having some problems getting some classes & functions that I have created to work when I put them into reusable .as packages. While I understand the basics of AS3 & OO programming I'm getting a little miffed as to why my code is not working.
I've created several AS functions such as a preloader function, reusable button function, customized context menu function etc. which all work perfectly if I place the AS code on the main timeline of the movie, like so:
=======================================
// Creates a new context menu object (myMenu)
var myMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
// Hides the default items (zoom, quality etc.)
myMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
[code]....
I don't get any error messages, but the customized context menu (with default items removed) is not appearing when I compile the movie.
My initial thought was that the script might not be running through, so I put a trace in, if I uncomment that line of code I get "testing" on the screen so the fuction is running through.I have a feeling, and I could easilly be wrong, that its because my "this.contextMenu = myMenu;" action is not attached to the main timeline so cannot display the customized context menu. If I'm right, how would I go about getting the action to attach to the main timeline.

I write a flex application. I added some custom menu items in context menu. when I compiled this code using flashplayer 10.0, it works fine and my added context menu items are shown when I Right-Click. But when I compile same code for flashPlayer 10.1, menu items that I added in context menu are not shown when I Right-Click. I am using sdk 3.5.
I am doing this;
private var cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
var versionMenu:ContextMenuItem = null;
var dateMenu:ContextMenuItem = null;
if(model.appVersion.length > 0) {
versionMenu = new ContextMenuItem(model.appVersion);

Anybody 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 am aware of how to reset the right-click context menu to just "settings", but when the file is opened in Flash Player directly from a computer instead of on the web, the drop-down menu in the player is still available. You can even press ctrl+enter to play. My searches just come up with solutions to the right-click menu, and I have a client who wants me to get rid of this menu for a game I've already made.

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

I have a Flex app with a viewport that loads a series of other swfs. I would like to place a context menu over top of the SWFs when the user right-clicks. To that end, I have set up a fairly standard context menu where each item has a ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT event handler. One problem: The eventHandler never gets called.
If I place the context-menu code anywhere else in the app, i.e. not on top of a loaded SWF, everything works fine. However, when I place the exact same code on the SWF viewport, the context menu items appear, but the eventHandlers are never called.

I have a UIComponent (tried it also with Canvas) and some icons in it (sub views). On the UIComponent I defined some extra ContextMenuItems. Now when I'm testing it, the context menu appears only on the subviews (icons) with a right-click. I've checked the documentation but found nothing about required properties for using context menus. Why it's only on subviews?

Is there any way to know the parent/component which initiates context menu? I have a panel which contains different custom components. i want to open respective popup window of custom component from context menu when user right click on the respective component.
How can i find the parent custom component which initiates context menu?
for ex:
custom compoent: 1. Label, 2. Buttom
context menu Item: properties
On right click over 'Label' opens a context menu which has item 'properties', on clicking properties it should open custom popoup window showing properties of Label. similarly, for Button.
I am trying to listen Event on click of context menu, but it is not useful.

I was just wondering how you could remove the menu that comes up when you right-click. On professional websites, when you right-click on a flash thing, it only shows 2 options. Now, I want to be able to do this with actionscript 3(NOT ACTIONSCRIPT 2!!!).I searched google and found this: stage.showDefaultContextMenu=false;But this does not remove the whole menu.

I noticed that when I publish my fla., the right-click context menu gives any person viewing the site the option to download the .swf (although the menu calls it a video) to their hard drive.

Is there a way to add custom fields to the built in browser context menu using Javascript?I know flash/actionscript can do this, how are they doing it? 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.

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,
