I have worked around this issue by providing a "open menu" icon wherever
I want users to be able to view a context menu and then training my
users to click on that icon in order to get the menu. In the click
handler you can then create a mx.controls.Menu that has the desired look
and feel. Not ideal, but if your users can get used to it...

You can't stylize the ContextMenu because it isn't in Flash. The
contextmenu is opened by the player and is a system-level control.
It's similar to the contextmenu in the browser or in other applications.
You also can't override the right-click. The Flash Player will always
display the contextmenu on a right-click.
The only ways around this are offline tools, such as AIR, SWF Studio,
etc. There is an ongoing effort to get by this here:
http://code.google.com/p/custom-context-menu/
<http://code.google.com/p/custom-context-menu/>
However, it does depend on browser-specific code and, as such, is
subject to browser version limitations. It worked for me at one point,
but I just tried it and it doesn't seem to work now.

Hi All,
I am trying to have a Custom Context Menu on the Items i have in my
Canvas.
I am able to get the ContextMenu and desired functionality by
assigning the contextMenu when ever i add an Item to the Canvas .How
ever the look and feel is same as the default one..
How can i change it .I want to use a StyleSheet and change the look
and feel and i don't see a style property in either ContextMenu or in
ContextMenuItem.
Or i have to disable the ContextMenu and add an EventHandler for the
Right Click and open a PopUp !!! ( I guess by this way i have complete
control over how i am going to display each MenuItem. (An Image and
Label combination)..
Thanks
Kumar
