I think I know why it crashes (Although it should not crash the browser - it should fail with a Flash null object error. You should file a bug).
When a right click event happens, a mouse out event happens first (Why? I don't know. Maybe this is a bug too) so your mouseOt function gets called which removes the context menu item. I assume, at this point, that the eventlistener is no longer valid but the event has already fired and is trying to find somewhere to go. This is what causes the crash. The moral of this is that you should not remove something willy nilly like this. First make sure you do not need it any more and then remove it. --- In [email protected], "valdhor" <valdhorli...@...> wrote: > > Not here.
