I see, The objects under the mouse are retrieved, and the top most get a double click dispatched from it.

Maybe a new event, (RightClickEvent extends event), would be better. If you didn’t want to have to hook into the MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK.

This code supports handling different actions for different objects as long as they are children of the application class, just like any other click event. Its up to you whether you implement event listeners in each display component or you build a controller to generalize the behavior. If you come up with a good solution be sure to link to it here so I can check it out.

Missed the download source link the first time.

Got it working on my machine.

Any good ideas on making this modular / generic for multiple libraries? Something like a central dispatcher or registration for the right click? because if every component is using this right click, they are gonna have to be managed somehow.

little help on the html template –
did you just wrap everything that was in the body into a div?

what does your onload look like? something like Rightclick.init()?

did you simply reace the AF_RUN(…)with SWFObject(…) ?
