…if you want it. It’s just a quicky, as someone was asking for how to use the new ContextMenu, I made a quick example with what can be done, wrote a few lines to go with it in Word, and here you go… Feel free to change anything you want to… all yours 🙂 ---

Thanks, K 🙂 An afterthought: you may want to add in somewhere that for the textfield (copy/cut/paste/select all) / url (open/open new win…) context menus, the user doesn’t have to do anything, it’s built in… ---

Hey eyez! The tutorial is here: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/contextmenu.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/contextmenu.htm) I have not linked it on the site yet. Are there any changes that you would like me to make? Cheers! Kirupa :rambo: ---

> /_the function can be anything you want, it will have to take these 2 parameters, but then the code to execute is really all up to you, I used (here) a getUrl to open the mail client with a predefined subject and message header; in the swf also a gotoAndPlay/Stop, a regular getURL to open a \_blank webpage to the forums, another item linking to Flashkit which is set to disabled, and finally a function to have the bug¡¦s head clip play to another frame, it is really anything you can come up with…!_/ > //finally, we need to associate the new menu with a clip (or button, or textfield), and we¡¦re done. > mail\_mc.menu = mail\_cm; > //do not get confused with the code hint extensions : \_cm for contextmenu, \_mc for movieclip ! ƒº some funky characters in this comment!? the f° at the end, and the bugi|s and wei|re !? Is that your spellchecker or mine? Rest looks ok, if anyone wants to review/comment/correct/add, please feel free to 😉 ---

Fixed that error eyez. Not sure why that happened. I bet it was because I was copying all of the text from Word and pasting them in Notepad before inserting them using FrontPage :beam: ---

Think we could rename it to “Right-click Context Menu” ? I think more people will be able to look at the title and understand the tutorial better that way. Wuddaya think? (btw, nice job eyez ;)) ---

Yup, better for search too, thx sen’ 😉 I noticed a typo somewhere, have to re-read, on some letter combinations, my left hand always wins over the right and the letters get inverted; also I used \_cm for the contextMenuItem in some place(s?), should be \_cmi really…
