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(); contactMenu\_cmi = new ContextMenuItem(“Contact”, contact); kirupaMenu\_cmi = new ContextMenuItem(“[Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com)”, kirupa, true); myMenu\_cm.customItems.push(contactMenu\_cmi); myMenu\_cm.customItems.push(kirupaMenu\_cmi); function contact() { getURL(“[mailto:youraddress@yourdomain.com](mailto:youraddress@yourdomain.com)”); } function kirupa() { getURL(“[http://www.kirupa.com](http://www.kirupa.com)”, “\_blank”); } \_root.menu = myMenu\_cm; i added a horizontal line, which appears above [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) menu, to seperate the two items. you can change this by removing to true statement after the constructor function. …ContextMenuItem(“[Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com)”, kirupa\*, true\*); ---

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.
