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).

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?
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?
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].....
how to add a right click menu with a custom item?
I have javascript making my swf enabled for right-click interaction (which means no context menu), but for some specific movie clips I actually do want the context menu to show on right click. I was thinking to do this I need some action script code that will open the context menu without a right click, since the javascript blocks the swf from knowing a right click has occured (the swf only knows that the javascript has told it to run some function).
The context menu method display(stage:Stage, stageX:Number, stageY:Number) sounds like it would have done the trick, but that is for AIR only.
I was wondering if there's any way to create a custom right click menu like in context menu(or similar) without the "Settings" and "About Adobe Flash.." etc... options?

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 mx.controls.Menu;

I have created this site with a expanding / collapsin menu. When a user selects a menu e.g. "hammers" then the menu is loaded and show the submenues. When the users closes the menu by moving the mouse away from the area the menu collapses. If the user expands the menu again the menu should have remember the last visit menu and show the menu.
View 4 RepliesThe 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 ?

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.

View 1 RepliesI'm making a menu in flash and I want that when I Click the button/movieclip moves up and when I Click again it moves down again. I already did it with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT but that gave me problems.
Here is the Code:
Actionscript Code:
//Eventlistenersmenu_over.buttonMode = true;
menu_over.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,onOver,false,0,true);
menu_over.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onOut,false,0,true);
//Functionsfunction onOver(e:MouseEvent):void {menu_over.gotoAndPlay("menu_op");
}function onOut(e:MouseEvent):void {menu_over.gotoAndPlay("menu_beneden");
}
I'm making a chatroom in actionscript, and I want to create a left click menu that pulls up some functions like (Ban, Hide, View users profile, etc..) I'd rather not do it through the right click menu.
