Hey there. Thanks for reading this.

I’m trying to disable the context menu options for the entire movie and everything in it. I thought it would be easy with a short:

var newMenu = new ContextMenu();  
newMenu.hideBuiltInItems();  
\_root.menu = newMenu;

on the first frame of the movie.

It simply doesn’t work. It works great on a new movie. One with nothing in it, but something inside my movie is conflicting it seems.
