Creating a right click menu

[meeko]

Is it possible to create a right click menu in flash 5? I don't mean the 'flash' right click menu. I mean my own one with my own look, feel and options?

Thx

unfortunately not
i've seen people adding items to the context menu with javascript in html, but in flash the right-click is 'catched' by the player settings before anything else.

you can, but the minimal basic menu for flash would still show and responsiveness would be a little buggy because of how Flash handles the focus coming off of that menu.

its just a matter of displaying a clip when Key.isDown(2) is true (usually within an onEnterFrame event as there is no event to directly handle left clicks).

thanks for sharing that, senocular. buggy indeed but promising nonetheless :)
any chance for an fla somewhere? I'ld love to combine this with a system check to trace CMD+mouseclick on a mac. But then again, there are two button mouses on macs too. hmm. Brings me to another question: would it be possible to check that?
