@Vincent/Nathan - thanks for pointing out the details. I hadn't looked into the original custom context menu project link (having assumed that anyone wanting to control Flash's context menu would do so as Nathan suggests through the built in API in Flash)
If you would like to persist in helping, then by all means... I see no ExternalInterface function definition in the original posted code, so there seems to be a bit of basic foundations missing to get this working in regarsd to the steps outlined by http://code.google.com/p/custom-context-menu/ A On Sat, Mar 13, 2010 at 1:59 AM, Nathan Mynarcik <[email protected]> wrote: > Why not just do the custom contextMenu in the actionscript?
