I did file a bug with Adobe. Hopefully it'll be addressed soon. Interesting that it was encountered in FlashPlayer 9. I don't recall which version of 9 I had, but I did not encounter this error until I went to FlashPlayer 10.
For my application, it is critical that particular conectMenu items only appear when right-clicking on certain display items. Once the mouse moves off of the item, that custom item should no longer be available. If there is a better way to accomplish this, I would be very interested in exploring it. -JF --- In [email protected], "valdhor" <valdhorli...@...> wrote: > > I think I know why it crashes (Although it should not crash the browser - it > should fail with a Flash null object error.
