What I wanna do is detect if the user has right clicked within a movie and if so get the coordinates and load a movie at that coordinate. What I am trying to mimic is the right click menu. Like what you see if you right click a IE window. If it is possible someone pleez help.

Key.isDown(2) is true when you right click, just test for that and display the menu then

rightClickDetect.onEnterFrame = function(){
	if (Key.isDown(2) && Key.isDown(2) != this.rightWasDown) Mouse.broadCastMessage("onRightMouseDown");

Mouse.addListener(this)

Is it supposed to show something besides the regular flash right click menu? It did not do anything on my cpu. where it says Mouse.broadCastMessage(“onRightMouseDown”); am I supposed to substitute something in there?

This is the strangest thing, it worked once and did not work again. Does the regular right click menu come up when you do it also? Are you able to do it moer than once?
