How to disable right click menu

[nbyte]

Hi.
I want to write flash project using ActionScript 3 which will be running under web browsers.
And I'd like to disable default right click menu and handle right mouse button for my other events.
I tried to do

<param name="menu" value="false"/>

but it only removes zoom buttons.
So I'd like to know, It's possible to remove all menu?

Officially it's not supported by FlashPlayer, but there is trick involving javascript (As I recall it won't work on Opera)

I tried. But I think this is unreliable. Because for exampe on my browser FF 2.0.0.14 this flash http://polygeek.com/377_adobeflash/a...click-in-flash doesn't work (right click).

I have used the UZA's script and modified to to make it easier to use with multiple flash objects in the window; yet, it only works well in Windows with IE and gecko based browsers; as well, I haven't had very positive results under Linux.

I have tried to get it to work in opera, and I can get it to recognize that it has been pushed; yet, I can't get rid of the default event, cause stopping propagation seems not to work.

I have also tried using the fact that it recognizes the right click to call a function that injects javascript to put a layer on top of the default flash context menu; it works, yet you still see the menu for a second.

Works for me in FireFox 2.0.0.14

Opera has native menu when using right click - I believe that is reason for RMB not working

Sorry All. It's working now on FF. I tried on wrong demo.
Thank you so much for help.

I would like to ask one more question about right click demo.
I see on http://www.uza.lt/blog/2007/08/solve...-click-in-as3/ page two source codes. But when I tried to use this I downloaded demo source code from http://code.google.com/p/custom-cont...downloads/list. And I see that in html page there flashobject is declarated with these not standard code lines

<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("RightClick.swf", "customRightClick", "560", "420", "9", "#CCCCCC");
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("name", "customRightClick");
so.addParam("id", "customRightClick");
so.addParam("AllowScriptAccess", "always");
so.addParam("wmode", "opaque");
so.addParam("menu", "false");
so.addVariable("variable1", "value1");
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>

As I understood it's using SWFObject object from swfobject.js javascript file. Now I'm trying to understand what this file actually do. I decompressed this file, but I still can't understand it.
It's possible to declare flashobject with standard method, but with the same functionality?

I know this one works....I think its from dynamic drive so I just put that in there. I think it works in everything but opera. Hope this helps.

<script language=JavaScript>
<!--

//Disable right mouse click Script
//By Dynamic Drive

var message="© Your message here";

///////////////////////////////////
function clickIE4(){
if (event.button==2){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}

function clickNS4(e){
if (document.layers||document.getElementById&&!docume nt.all){
if (e.which==2||e.which==3){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
}

if (document.layers){
document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
document.onmousedown=clickNS4;
}
else if (document.all&&!document.getElementById){
document.onmousedown=clickIE4;
}

document.oncontextmenu=new Function("alert(message);return false")

// -->
</script>

That doesn't disable it.
It just removes some of its content.
