Um... I am so lost within the code and I can't even get it to work...
Can you explain it to me if you are not busy, senocular???

here it is expanded and drawn out

// Mouse variable to represent the current 
// rightmouse position (down or up) - true if down
Mouse.rightMouseDown = false;
// this function checks a change from the
// current real rightmouse is down to the last
// saved Mouse.rightMouseDown
checkForChangeInMouse = function(){
    // xor is used to compare the current Mouse.rightMouseDown
    // with Key.isDown(2) which returns true if the right mouse
    // is down, and false if not.  Mouse.rightMouseDown is also
    // assigned to Key.isDown(2) within this if statement.  The
    // comparison though, is still between the last saved and
    // the new current Key.isDown(2)
    if(Mouse.rightMouseDown ^ (Mouse.rightMouseDown=Key.isDown(2))){
        if(Mouse.rightMouseDown){
            // if the mouse is down, the onRightMouseDown
            // event is sent out from the Mouse Object
            Mouse.broadcastMessage("onRightMouseDown");
        }else{
            // if the mouse is Up, the onRightMouseDown
            // event is sent out from the Mouse Object
            Mouse.broadcastMessage("onRightMouseUp");
        }
    }
}
// set an interval to check for the change in the
// right mouse down using checkForChangeInMouse
setInterval(checkForChangeInMouse, 40);

// to recognize onRightMouseDown or onRightMouseUp,
// the object needs to be a listener of the Mouse object
Mouse.addListener(this);
// assign the events
this.onRightMouseDown = function(){
    trace("Right Down");
}
this.onRightMouseUp = function(){
    trace("Right Up");
}
// now "Right Down" should be traced when the right mouse
// is clicked, and "Right Up" when released

hi dudes!

that code to me started out to be american slang! i've been reading a little about some strang aliens i found in the script, like the XOR punctuation, and it looks more like latin now!

if i didnt want to use this rightClick "alien" so much, i'd probably quit trying to understand it!! but i want it, oh so bad!

i need a little help to put this script working though... :/ . i have a MC (the menu). How do i make this code work? i have some doubts:

1º

this.onRightMouseDown = function(){
        trace("Right Down");
}

instead of the trace statment i put in:

attachMovie(menu, menuLoaded);

so it "loads" the menu MC.

3º where do i set the coordinates of where i want the movie to appear on stage? (same coordinates as the mouse)

i hope u can gimme a hand, so i can learn how to do this thing work..

thanks in advance, senocular.

attachMovie("linkageId", "menuName", this.getNextHighestDepth(), {_x:this._xmouse,_y:this._ymouse});

you can pass anything you want within the {} braces
