RE: [Flashcoders] contextMenu getting overridden
Thanks for the responses. When I debug, I see both contextMenus created correctly. It's just that the child one isn't showing up on the stage. The odd part is that when I comment out the parent contextMenu property, the child contextMenu STILL doesn't show up. Karl: I'm not seeing how accessibilityProperties prevents a contextMenu from showing up. Any ideas? - Michael M. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] contextMenu getting overridden
My idea was not that accessibility pref control the menus, but allow the child object to be accessible, and in theory allow the menu to be accessible. Again, it was just a thought.

RE: [Flashcoders] contextMenu getting overridden
Thanks Karl. It's an interesting approach. When I read the docs, it didn't seem to be related. Anyway, I'm really stumped on this issue.

Re: [Flashcoders] contextMenu getting overridden
No problem, one thought too, do both variables that call the menus (parent and child), are they the same var? this.menu? Karl On Jun 18, 2010, at 2:39 PM, Mendelsohn, Michael wrote: Thanks Karl.

RE: [Flashcoders] contextMenu getting overridden
No problem, one thought too, do both variables that call the menus (parent and child), are they the same var? this.menu? They're not the same var. Here's the structure: Parent sprite -- contextMenu A - child sprite 1 - child sprite 2 - child sprite 3 child sprite 3 contains a child -- contextMenu B (instanced correctly within this class, but never displays) Parent sprite is just a new Sprite(), with children added. One of its children contains also a child that is the sprite with the customMenu. So, it's really two levels deep. But when I comment out the parent sprite contextMenu assignment, the child sprite contextMenu *still* doesn't display. - MM ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Re: [Flashcoders] contextMenu getting overridden
Did you check to see if the parent lets the children be accessible in the accessibility prefs. This may allow the context menu of the child sprite display even with the parent having one. More of a guess, but might do the trick. Not positive if this will deal with the context menus, but it seems to me that the context menu would be something a screen reader would pull up when reading the swf. And Make child objects accessible would have to be checked for it to do so. Just a thought. Someone may have a better solution though.
