View 2 RepliesI have been having some difficulties with custom context menus with CS5.5 and AS3. I have this working in 2 places: - The FLA file which I use to develop this in (I work within an FLA, but distill everything down to an AS3 based Sprite which can be instantiated via code provided the various symbols are in the library) - In an test harness. (I ensure that the Sprite can be instantiated through pure Actionscript)
The custom context menu works perfectly in both the above scenarios. However, in my main application (which is a good deal more complicated than my test harness) I see the default context menu. All other mouse events on my nested clip work perfectly.
Is there some limitation with the Context menu in AS3? My code looks fine. It pretty much corresponds to the vast majority of Context menu implementations - so feel like there is something I am missing from the bigger picture.

View 3 RepliesI have a very simple problem but I can't find the very simple solution to it. I've create an animated menu with animated movie clips inside to work as buttons. All the main buttons work perfectely but I've got just on button with a sub-menu. On this sub-menu I've placed an invisible hitarea button in order to place some gotoAndStop action. The thing is, it seems to me like this submenu hitarea are underneath something else (even though is the seccond layers right about the actions layers). I've placed a simple trace action whenever the mouse rolls over this area but I get nothing... Am I doing something really wrong? I'm losing all my hair already.
View 2 RepliesI 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 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.

View 1 RepliesI 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?

View 2 RepliesI 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.
