When I click simulate download my custom right click menu only appears once the movie has loaded. I have a layer called "actions" that contains this code:
Code:
var myMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
this.contextMenu = myMenu;
How can I make it so that my custom menu works while it's preloading?
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?
Just wondering if it is possible to show a movie clip based menu inside a Flash movie when the user "right-clicks" an item (a button or movie clip for example).
View 2 Repliesi 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 2 RepliesBasically I have lot of text fields that are rendered dynamically, and I want the user to be able to right click on one and edit it.
Is it good practise to use the right-click bring up custom menu on a sprite. And is the method guaranteed to work accross all browsers? Do mac mice have right mouse click buttons?

And if not, what would be a good work around. Maybe bringing up a yahoo astra message box with the two options one for left mouse click, one for right click and edit text field?
Ive noticed a lot of flash websites have user defined items/links added to the default flash right click settings menu. In other words when we right click on such flash websites it shows links to the designers home page or associated site etc.

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:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
// Import the Menu control.
import mx.controls.Menu;

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 ?
View 1 RepliesSo I have a movie clip associated with an external class in the linkage dialog. I put that movie clip on the stage. I have another external class that contains some code (not for the movie clip but for the stage). When I access the custom properties of the class in the actual flash file (not the external code) everything works fine.For example.myMovieClip.explodeTheCode = true;works in the main movie. However, it doesn't work in the external flash file when I have a reference to that movie clip.myRefToCustomMovieclip.explodeTheCode = true fails!It throws an error. In java, I'd just import the custom class the movie clip is linked to and then I can call all the extra custom methods on the movie clip in the external class I want. However, this does nothing. I still can't access any properties.So my question is, how do I access the custom features of a movie clip (that is linked to a custom class) from an external code file. It works in the movie, but not in the external source code.

My 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?
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 created what I though was a pretty simple function for a mouse event listener. The funtion goes to a frame in the current movie clip as well as the parent movie clip. For some reason however the first time you click the button, it only effects the parent movie clip. When you click on it the second time, both movie clips are effected. Here is the script,
