The most I know you can do is go to File/Publish Settings and click on the HTML tab and uncheck the “Show Menu” checkbox.
That only minimizes the context menu to “Settings” and “About Macromedia”

by unchecking “show menu” tab all it does is add this tag
\*\* \ \*\* to the html page

```auto
Stage.showMenu = false
```
that does it… 🙂

ahmed: That does the same thing as unchecking the Show Menu checkbox or adding the param tag in the HTML.

You don’t do it in Dreamweaver.
It is in Flash under File/Publish Settings so that when you publish the HTML file it adds the param tag to the script it publishes. Or you can add the param tag (posted in first post of this thread) manually. Or use Stage.showMenu = false; on a frame in Flash.
