[flexcoders] Re: context menu in a datagrid in flex 4
Hi All, It worked . If we assign the context menu using the id of datagrid then the context menu works, for example if the id of datagrid is dg, then by using dg.contextmenu = cm. But I wonder why it doesn't work by assigning it directly in datagrid using binding. Thanks Nitin Gopi
[flexcoders] Re: Context Menu
Angelo According to the documentation at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=Menus_4.html - The primary drawback to using the context menu API is that it does not support submenus.

Check these links out... http://code.google.com/p/custom-context-menu/ http://flexology.wordpress.com/2008/12/12/custom-right-click-contextmenu-in-flex/ I tried the code from the second link and it worked great. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Angelo Anolin angelo_ano...@... wrote: Hi FlexCoders, Has anyone implemented a right mouse click context menu which contains sub-menu items?

[flexcoders] Re: Context Menu mouseTarget Issue
This worked:
myCanvas.removeChildAt(myCanvas.getChildIndex(event.mouseTarget));
and
myCanvas.removeChildAt(myCanvas.getChildIndex(event.mouseTarget.parent));
depending on whether the mouse is over the root Panel component or the child
containers added to the panel.
The harder part is identifying which item in my ArrayCollection corresponds to
the mouseTarget. What I've ended up doing is capturing the parent/child path
(E.g. TestApp0.canvasShell.myCanvas.myContainer592) in my ArrayCollection, then
looping until I find a match and removing that item. Is there a more efficient
way?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Context Menu mouseTarget Issue
You can try getObjectsUnderPoint (use mouseX/Y to get stage coordinates). Your
custom container should be in the array it returns.

[flexcoders] Re: Context Menu Bug in FlashPlayer ?
I did file a bug with Adobe. Hopefully it'll be addressed soon.
Interesting that it was encountered in FlashPlayer 9. I don't recall which
version of 9 I had, but I did not encounter this error until I went to
FlashPlayer 10.
For my application, it is critical that particular conectMenu items only appear
when right-clicking on certain display items. Once the mouse moves off of the
item, that custom item should no longer be available. If there is a better way
to accomplish this, I would be very interested in exploring it.

which removes the context menu item. I assume, at this point, that the

The moral of this is that you should not remove something willy nilly like

[flexcoders] Re: Context menu triggers browser crash
You might try running the same behavior from a simple button, instead of from a context menu, since that might give you a sense of where the problem lies: i.e. if it occurs even when you run the behavior off a button, then the problem presumably has nothing to do with the context menu. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Guy Morton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi there I have a Flex 2 app that has a custom context menu attached to the root application object. It works without incident on the Mac, but on windows, choosing an item from the context menu sometimes causes the browser to crash. There appears to be no pattern to it, though it does seem to occur more frequently when choosing a menu item that calls a function that does a couple of sequential HTTP requests and thus can take a little while (maybe a second or two) to complete. This happens in both IE and Firefox on windows, so for once we can't just blame IE. :-) Anyone seen this behaviour before and know what causes it, or how to work around it? TIA Guy

If you are using a custom item renderer why aren't you just adding the context menu to the item renderer?

I have a TileList control with a custom itemRenderer. The renderer consists of an Image control and a few Label controls. I've also attached a custom context menu to the TileList. In the MENU_SELECT event, I want to set the TileList's selectedItem to the item that the mouse is over before popping up the context menu. So I examine the event.mouseTarget property... this might be one of the embedded Label controls, so I crawl up the parent property till I get to the top. Works great - I eventually get to the itemRenderer level, where I can check if the renderer.data value is already selected, and if not, select it. It *doesn't* work if I right-click on the Image control.

Wow - images are not mouse targets. Okay, that's going to be challenging - because I was actually planning on some special actions to occur when the user clicked on the corners of the image. So maybe the transparent sprite will be the key? I'll try it... Thanks! --Tracey --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Alex Harui [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Images are not mouse targets.

[flexcoders] Re: Context menu mouseTarget vs. itemRenderer with Image control
It occurred to me to try adding the context menu to the item renderer, but I wasn't sure what would happen to the blank areas of the TileList, like if there aren't enough data items to fill the entire space... does the list get item renderers with data=null, or are there only renderers where there's actually data? (Trial and error would answer that, I guess...) I do still need the individual components of the item renderer to be separately clickable - as I mentioned in another reply, I want to do something special when the user clicks on the corner of the embedded image controls. Thanks for your help! More experimentation to come... --Tracey --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, andrewalderson650 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you are using a custom item renderer why aren't you just adding the context menu to the item renderer?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Context menu mouseTarget vs. itemRenderer with Image control
To be precise, mx:Image can be a mouseTarget as it is a UIComponent wrapping the images. Embedded images generally are not as are any other bitmaps loaded through flash.display.Loader. It depends on how you set things up. However, placing transparent hit areas is a good way to divide up areas of a renderer into separate targets.

[flexcoders] Re: Context menu with custom cursor
I've currently worked around this issue by punching a small hole at the registration point of the cursor movieclip. This allows the mouse click to pass through to whatever is directly underneath the cursor. My theory is that the cursor movieclip is not a descendant of the application instance on the display list, so it is not using the Application context menu (I set the menu on the Application instance). Is there a _root equivalent where I can set the context menu? I know the stage cannot have a context menu applied, and I cant think of anything else. I'm going to go with this for now, but if anyone knows a better solution, please let me know. Thanks again, David --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, davcavs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, In my Flex 2 application I have a custom context menu, and I occasionally set a custom cursor. When the user right-clicks when the custom cursor is set, the default context menu is shown, not the custom context menu. This seems to only happen when the custom cursor exists under the mouse coordinates. The problem can be seen on this page: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/controlling_the_cursor/ On examples on that page, if you set the busy cursor, notice you get the default context menu. When you set the custom hourglass cursor, you don't, presumably because it is offset away from the mouse coordinates. In my app, the custom cursor exists under mouse coordinates, and like I said, the default menu is shown. The cursor I am using is embedded from a Flash 9 SWF, and in the class definition for the symbol, I have tried changing the contextMenu and disabling mouseEnabled, to no avail. Since my custom cursor is a magnifying glass, I really don't want Zoom In/Zoom Out on the context menu. Am I missing something? Has anyone overcome this?

[flexcoders] Re: context-menu in flex...
Hi everyone, I don't want to hijack this thread but it reminded me about one problem I had with the context menu. Does anyone knows a way to put a check before an item in the context menu ? Flash Player can do it (see Play and loop entries). I could not find anything in the ContextMenu Class. Thanks, Cristian --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Jeff Tapper [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've always dealt with leaving the miniumum information in the context menu, since the items you add appear first. Also, if you use the hideBuiltInItems() method, there are only 4 built in items which appear with what you add.

It seems the Flash one cannot be done without some other stuff in it that we do not want. Has anyone found a way to maybe fake it so that the built in one does not come up? All the reading I have found on the subject involved previous versions of the player or involved bringing up other Alerts and stuff, but not a context menu. I have considered maybe bringing up a context menu upon double clicking on a line in the tree - but that is just not the way these interfaces would normally work. I am trying to simulate sort of an explorer type action on files in a tree. Hightlight an item, then right click to do copy, paste, delete etc. Any ideas?
