Right Click on Mouse

programming flash
1

Is it possible for Flash to ‘notice’ when the Right Mouse Button is clicked?
For instance:
The player press the Right Mouse Button and a message would appear like: “Don’t cheat!” or whatever.

Is it possible? And if so, could someone direct me on how to do it…

Thank you in advance.

you could add a new menu to the context menu that appears when you press the right mouse button.

[AS]myMenu_cm = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
myMessage_cmi = new ContextMenuItem(“DONT CHEAT!!!”, cheatFunction);
myMenu_cm.customItems.push(myMessage_cmi);
function cheatFunction() {
trace(" I told you not to cheat!!");
}
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;[/AS]
unfortunately to my knowledge you have to have a function.

so u could try…

[AS]myMenu_cm = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
myMenu_cm.onSelect=function(){
// do something like show a hidden movie
trace(“DONT CHEAT!!”)
}
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;[/AS]

[AS]this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(2)) {
trace(“Don’t Cheat”);
}
};[/AS]

myMenu_cm = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
myMessage_cmi = new ContextMenuItem("DONT CHEAT!!!", cheatFunction);
myMenu_cm.customItems.push(myMessage_cmi);
function cheatFunction() {
   // your code goes here for links, email or whatever
   // ie: getURL("mailto:youremail@email.com")
}
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;

sorry for bodering you…
but i´m trying to add a link like http://www.kirupa.com but it´s not working.
just the emailto thing… what may i be doing wrong?
Another thing I would love to learn is how to add more than one button on the menu, like H2 website.

myMenu_cm = new ContextMenu();
myMenu_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
contactMenu_cmi = new ContextMenuItem(“Contact”, contact);
kirupaMenu_cmi = new ContextMenuItem(“Kirupa.com”, kirupa, true);
myMenu_cm.customItems.push(contactMenu_cmi);
myMenu_cm.customItems.push(kirupaMenu_cmi);
function contact() {
getURL(“mailto:youraddress@yourdomain.com”);
}
function kirupa() {
getURL(“http://www.kirupa.com”, “_blank”);
}
_root.menu = myMenu_cm;

i added a horizontal line, which appears above kirupa.com menu, to seperate the two items. you can change this by
removing to true statement after the constructor function.
…ContextMenuItem(“Kirupa.com”, kirupa*, true*);

Thanks a lot! Worked perfectly!

I don’t suppose it’s possible to prevent the right-click context menu from coming up at all. I know you can replace items and get rid of most of them, but it’d be nice to use this to create your own custom right-click context menu as opposed to the ugly grey one.

Nope, impossible to get rid of the right click menu.
