This thing worked very well for me. i made little changes in ur sample.. instead of creating new instance of "RightClickPopup" class, i created Menu object which can contain submenus, icons and a seperator.. private function handleRightClick():void { // create menu items (using ActionScript shorthand for objects and arrays) var fruits:Object = { label: "Fruits", children: [ "Apple", "Orange", "Banana" ], icon: "leaf" }; var colors:Object = { label: "Colors", children: [ "Red", "Blue", "Green" ], icon: "leaf" }; var separator:Object = { type: "separator" }; // creat the root menu structure var menuData:Object = { children: [ fruits, separator, colors ] }; // create the menu var menu:Menu = Menu.createMenu( parent, menuData, false ); // register menu click handler menu.addEventListener( MenuEvent.ITEM_CLICK, handleMenuClick ); // show the menu showMenu(menu); } protected function showMenu( menu:Menu):void { // get the menu parent from the mouse event var parent:DisplayObjectContainer = this; // position menu relative to the parent var point:Point = new Point( parent.mouseX , parent.mouseY ); point = parent.localToGlobal( point ); // show the menu menu.show( point.x, point.y ); } Hi thanks a lot..

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

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.

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. -Nick Missed the download source link the first time.

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(…) ?

It will be very useful if we do lots of skinning in Flash. Thanks Almog, I’ll be sure to check that out. It will be very useful if we do lots of skinning in Flash.

If you're using Flex 3 you can then use the import skin artwork option that automatically imports the skin and generates a CSS code. Best regards, Almog Kurtser Hi Christopher,
