Hi Andy,
Actually there is a way, though I think it's a metaphysical law that
somebody has to say it's impossible before an answer appears.
I had to do this so that folk could copy paste with ctrl-c ctrl-v and have
the text modified before put in atext field but not allow a
right-click-paste into the text field that could mess up the rich text
properties otherwise.
I only did it for one textfield, though I don't see any reason why you
wouldn't be able to apply the same idea everywhere.
The basic idea is that you create a custom right click menu and trap it's
onSelect event. When that event gets triggered, you create an editable
textfield and set the focus to it, since the object that received the event
no longer has focus, the right click menu goes away.
It was a while ago but I believe this was the snippet that did the trick.
public function onLoad() {
var menu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
menu_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
menu_cm.onSelect = function(item:Object,item_menu:Object){
GhostObj.createTextField("Paste_txt", 10000, 0, 0, 10, 20);
GhostObj.Paste_txt.type = "input";
Selection.setFocus(eval("GhostObj.Paste_txt"));
}
Capture_txt.menu = menu_cm;
...
Let me know if it works for you,
-Cort

Hi Andy,
This will drive you wild until you're living with the lions in
Africa. Save
yourself. It's not possible especially in a .swf. They removed that
possibility in flash 5 or 6.
I even tried putting in in a C# windows application with complicated
scripting to toggle a layer above it and faking mouse events that I wanted
to send. I found you can't send fake events to flash. You would need
access to the unmanaged code area (for other readers). It's especially
not
possible with a swf or an application unless that application is a Zinc
app
or if you shell out some big moolah to Adobe for a special license (but
won't work for a swf either).
Come back, Andy, come back into the light...it's not worth it really.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Right Click disabling
Hi,
I know this has been done to death but nothing has answered my real
problem.
I need to turn off the right click menu completely in a swf.
I don't want it to display custom stuff (I can do that), I want it to
detect
a right click but not show the menu. This can only be in a swf, not an
exe
so the compilers don't work.
Please help - this has been driving me wild!
