The mechanism for adding a custom context menu item to a standard context menu is the same as adding it to a text sensitive context menu.
1. Create a context menu 2. Create a context menu item 3. Add the custom menu item to the context menu 4. Associate the context menu with the control (in this case the text whatnot control) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; creationComplete="init();" layout="absolute"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ public function init():void { var ctx:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu(); var mit:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem( "BAR!" ); ctx.customItems.push( mit ); foo.contextMenu = ctx; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:TextArea id="foo" x="401" y="249"/> </mx:Application> Right click in the text area and - Voila! Foo bar baby!
