ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Out Where On TextField Context Menu Appears?
Feb 4, 2010
I want users to be able to right click on a certain line in the text field, and I don't want to go through the hassle and extra memory and coding involved in breaking up the field.If the user has not selected the textField yet, right clicking will set the "caretIndex" to the correct value, however, if the field is in focus when they right click, the carrotIndex will not display the correct value, but will display the selection value.How can I detect which line/character was right clicked? Is it even possible to get the coordinates of the right click without needing to resort to detecting MOUSE_MOVE and updating some sort of global value each time?
TextField objects have a built in context menu containing items which target cut, copy, paste, delete and select all events.i would like to map keyboard keys and modifiers to these events to obtain their free functionality.
Is there any way to change a context menu that already has been personalized. I have an small application that I purchased to learn with and also to save some time. When I right click the context menu appears with the other person's information in it. I want to change that information if it is possible to do so. I tried
var my_menu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu(); my_menu.hideBuiltInItems(); contextMenu = my_menu;
and added my info but the menu will not change from the person I got the app from. Is this considered unethical or illegal? I put so much work into this, I don't want the person to get credit for it.
The 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 ?
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
var _menu_item:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("here goes [code].....
I got a .fla file, which i have to edit. The file is used at a website, and contains the menu.Reads input from xml file.I can make the changes, logo and some static text.When publishing the file, the menu appears as pink boxes instead of rendering of the menu.There is not outpur errors, and everything else works as it should, just not the menu.
does anyone know how to make right clicking work in as3?i don't want a context menu to appear, i just want it to work as an EventListener for MovieClips.For example, imagine that RIGHT_CLICK is a MouseEvent, it would look like this:[code]i know the code wont end up looking like this, but does anyone know how to pull off this same idea using a right click?[code]
i Code: mport flash.display.*; import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
[code]...
then where do i tell it that i want to have the MouseEvent EventListener on my movieclip labeled "mastButton" ?(obviously i know its not really a MouseEvent but do u know what i mean? like how to i link this right click event TO a particular movieclip?)
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.
cm1.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,changeColor); cm2.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,changeColor); function changeColor(event:ContextMenuEvent):void{
I'm building an app with an image upload function. While the uploading process is on I need to disable the context menu (right-click) or at least the items in it
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.
How do i disable the context menu completely? The reason to why i need to do this is that i want to create a rectangle wherever the user clicks, with various text information. Can this be done?
I have a datagrid sitting within a movieclip. The datagrid gets dynamically populated with data pulled from an xml file.Since contextual menus cannot be applied to components directly. Is it possible to display a custom contextual menu for the movieclip that contains the datagrid?[code]When I run this code, all of the builtin context menu items are removed but none of the my custom menu items are displayed.Please say that I can add contextual menus to movieclips that contain components..
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. That's krazy...In any event, I need to disable the option in the right-click menu. I read the tech report at Adobe
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 want to disable the context menu in flash movie.I have tried some solutions on the internet but none of them work.I am using Flash CS4 with ActionScript 3.I am really frustrated and would appreciate a straight-forward working solution.
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.
