on 'right' click

[silencer01]

Hi all,

I'm trying to capture a right click in flash. Please note that i'm not attempting to display a right click context menu. I simply want to call a function with a right click. Here is how i would do it with a left click:

PHP Code:

//This if for a normal left click (i require the save actions for a right click)
btn_test.onRelease = function(){
       processBtn();
}

processBtn(){
       trace("button clicked");
} 


Thanks

We'd all like to do that.

There are a few hacks floating around to get rid of the context-menu, but none of them seem to do the job adequately.

as long i know it violates MM lizense if you do so !

the only working solution i ever saw was overliing it whit an opacel Layer (in the HTML)

wich will prevent any clicks at all in the SWF wich woud need to by wraped back whit javascript !

wich is a nightmare

its not fully possible in flash, but with a little bit help of javascript it's not too hard to get rid of the context menu.. or load ur own movieclip as a menu..

but then again, not all browsers supports the javascript function (in IE it does work but in mozilla it wont) and javascript can be closed in ur Browser Options..

you can find enough on google by searching for the terms "javascript flash context menu" or something like that..

in any browser !

Frankly though, I approve of it not being possible to disable the context-menu. Flash movies shouldn't be able to disable access to the flash settings.

If you just want to capture the right click (the context menu will still be displayed), simply monitor Key.isDown(2) - it will return true when the right mouse button is pressed...

I tried capturing right-clicks and I couldnt do it. I resulted to writing a peice of code that would capture double-clicks instead and used that

Why not just utilize the ContextMenu and ContextMenuItem classes that flash has to offer? I haven't found anything that necessitates me getting rid of the context menu, and Xeef is right it is against the MM license to do so.

About the solution in html, it's very involved, but you need to set the wmode of the swf to transparent ( I know it's odd ). You then need to create a div layer that sits over top of the SWF, this is where you are stealing the rightlcicks from the flash player, and you need to be sure to capture the right clicks with javascript and send them to the swf. This is possible, and it is compatible in both browsers. Good Luck .
