How 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.

I have a window component on my main timeline that gets called up on several instances. When the popup window appears, everything looks fine, except that the user can still click on links that are now behind the actual popup window itself. My question is how do I keep those buttons from being active while the popup window is active?
View 2 RepliesHow 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 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)

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.
View 2 Repliesin 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.

Full Render code here [URL] When I right click on the Spark List I simply get the Adobe Default Context menu. This is the same default behaviour I had before I added any code to this.

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...).

I want to add a context menu with a datagrid which is in a title window, after adding it nothing happens.

I am calling init function on creationComplete event of title window.
how I can change the X and Y positions where the ContextMenu displays. I know you can do it with the display() method, but not sure how to implement it. My code, so far:
ActionScript Code:
var my_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_cm.hideBuiltInItems();

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 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?

How can use ContextMenu from test1.swf??
I have a Flex Library Project which has both Flex specific classes, and Air specific classes.When I reference the library in an Air project, the compiler complains about an overriding contextMenu in mx.containers.Panel, saying that the param should be of type NativeMenu (instead of ContextMenu). If I switch it over to NativeMenu then it compiles fine.
The issue is when I reference the library in a Flex Project. This time it complains that it doesn't know the type NativeMenu. If I try to change it back to ContextMenu, then I get the same error as above.I've searched google to no avail (found that someone else encountered the exact same problem: http:url.... )
need context menu items only on certain columns (locked columns) of a datagird and not on the other columns.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
Here's the deal: I've built a filebrowser. RightClicking in the list enables you (via ContextMenu) to rename and delete files/folders, or upload your own files into a selected folder. Everything works perfect until I rightClick and select the upload link from the ContextMenu. Instead of the OS filebrowser where I would select a few files for upload.. Flash throws an error at me:
It's 'Error: Error #2176...' basically telling me, that the call to fileList.browse() can only be done by direct user interaction, for example, by clicking or hitting a key. And the for example-part is no joke, at least in the german error message.
I thought that a RightClick would qualify as a secure user interaction, but Adobe seems to differ on that one.
In a few words: RightClicking (for the ContextMenu to appear) and selecting the UPLOAD link to trigger the desired browse() method doesn't work for me. Putting a simple button on the stage to shoot the browse() call does the job, but that's not what I want.
Textfields currently do not dispatch paste events. When the user is using keyboard shortcuts to paste, there's a way to workaround that shortcoming by listening to various keyboard events in the textfield. Is there a way to detect the paste event when it is originated from a click on the ContextMenu?
View 1 RepliesSee [URL] Now there is a button called Answera, which when clicked should have a symbol (movie clip) called Check appear at the cordinated specified. Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?
