partially disabling right-click menu

[mad_A]

Is it possible to disable all the options on the right click menu, except the zoom ones (zoom in, zoom out, show 100%, show all)???

thanks

"except the zoom ones" - so far as I know it is not posible

BUT


1)If you whant to disable all the options :

(in HTML)
You can use
<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false>
inside tag <OBJECT> for IE

and
menu=false
inside tag <EMBED> for NN

2)If you whant to have just (Flash5 line):

FS Command ("showmenu", "false") to disable right clicking
and if you want to see just few options on right clicking go to
file/publish settings/swf and check "omitting trace actions".

You could probably just disable the entire menu and add your own zoom buttons if you can't figure out a new way to do it.. (they'de be Flash buttons, not right click menues of course)

Thanks Jesse and Strok,
Yeah, it seems like it's not an option. I was just trying to find a way to leave zoom and print to save me the trouble of doing them seperately. I guess I'm not going to get to be lazy afterall...!

Hi!
I couldn't get the menu false inside the embed tags in NN to work. Are you sure it's done this way?

How do you disable the menu for Firefox?

Hi Alison,

What are you trying to do - disable the menu totally or partially?

In AS 1:

cmMenu = new ContextMenu();
cmMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
menu = cmMenu;


or else in the HTML have...

<OBJECT>
<PARAM NAME="menu" VALUE="false" />
<EMBED MENU="false" />
</OBJECT>


or if you are using AS2 -

var cmMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
cmMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
menu = cmMenu;

Well you can always put this on the first frame of your movie to disable the menu almost entirely:

Stage.showMenu = false;

But I do not think it's possible to disalbe everything BUT Zoom in/out. You may have to write your own functions for that if you disable the menu.
