Just to bump this up a bit - I'm able to confirm this behavior - setting
a contextMenu at the Application container level sets the context menu
for any UI objects contained within it - BUT NOT FOR THE BACKGROUND OF
THE APP. So if there's any app background not covered by a UI object
you'll see the default Flash ContextMenu when you right-click on it.
How can this be handled???? For sure, I want to suppress the default
context menu in my app for the entire area of the player.

ContextMenu
Abdul,
Thanks - yes, the positioning is absolute but no - the wrapper's
width/height attributes are the same as the mxml width/height. And you
can get the flash context menu from anywhere on the screen that there
isn't a UI item. Basically the controls are resting right on top of the
application - there's no intermediary container. It seems like the
reference you get to the application (Application.application) is still
one level (or so) down from the player itself. How do you get a
reference to the player so you can set its context menu?

It should work.
But I am guessing that your Application has absolute
width/height specified in your MXML. And your html-wrapper has different
(greater) width/height.
That's the only case, in my opinion, when flash-player's
stage gets exposed.
Try to keep the dimensions specified in MXML and HTML
same.

I've tried setting my custom menu to

What am I missing here?
