Is this a flash player limitation or a Flex limitation?
 
In Flash you can attach disctinct context menus to MovieClips, Buttons, TextFields.
"You can attach a ContextMenu object to a specific button, movie clip, or text field object, or to an entire movie level" (flash docs)
 
I ran into problems trying to use startDrag() and stopDrag() functions, would they be both related to the same mouse handling problem? if yes, it would be great to resolve them in the next release or maybe they are both fixed in fp8 as you mentioned ;)

Hi,
 
Right, you can not attach context menu on nested object. This is a known issue which has been fixed in Macromedia Flash Player 8.
 
But you can use some workarounds to attach/de-attach context menu. When mouse is over Canvas attach the context menu and when mouse is out of Canvas remove the context menu(by clearing customItems array).
 
Does it make sense?

Can't do it in the current version of the flash player... possibly in a few months when the next version comes out? 
 
Not something I'd code against though. 
 
Search the group for double click as the only alternative I found to offer a second mouse action.

Hi All,

I want to display right-click context menu only in the canves area.
Can someone please tell me how to do this?.
My code displays context menu in the whole application. Not only
canves area.

Thanks,
