Right click menu disable

[i_am_parag]

Hi guyz,

How do I disable the right click menu of flash file completely? FS Command does everything except, "About Macromedia Flash Player..."

I don't want even that. Completely nothing. How do I achieve it? Kindly revert back as soon as possible. However I use Flash MX, will the solution be compatible to Flash ver 5 too?

With warm regards,

Parag

this could resolve your issue, but in Interenet browser not in Flash, but anyway i guess you will use your movie for internet so take a look at and ask if you need more help.

Note; you could remove alert window as well, just remove aler("text") from function

That disables the right-click on the rest of the html, but not on the Flash movie itself.

YEP, i must say that oldnewbie is right as many times before, but i think that for flashMovie there is no way that will disable right-click, except if you scrap or break Manual-Physical user's mouse right button, hehehehe

Hi,

Well it won't solve the problem as I have to put my swf in a visual basic movie where it always shows atleast "About...".

Anyways, please get back or I will if solution is found in a near future.

Thanx however for the reply.

I am sure that it won't be hard in Visual basic to remove "about". I have done it in Delphi (wich I higly recomend) by using application events component.
Is there similar component in VB?

This may not be much help if you're using older versions of Flash, but FWIW, if you use MX2004/Actionscript 2 you can do this:

var cm=new ContextMenu;
cm.hideBuiltInItems();
_root.menu=cm;

This removes everything but Settings from the context menu...

[elemental mx]

Stage.showmenu = false

put that ^ in the AS of the first frame on your swf to remove the menu

Hi,

None of the methods mentioned by elemental and deadbeat worked on flash mx 2004 even. It removes everything but still leaves Settings.... as well as About Macromedia......


I am attaching the fla for your kind reference. Kindly help me.

With warm regards,

You cannot completely disable the context menu...only to the extent possible with the above methods...(Settings and About will always be visible)

Hi,

Though, it is not possible to completely disable the right click menu, isn't there any way in flash mx 2004 to open up another menu on right click, some sort of trapping etc.?

Hey, I know two ways to do this. The first way is for flash that you open on your computer(not the internet).

To do it that way, put this action on the first frame of your movie

fscommand ("showmenu", "false");

The other way is for internet use. Simply add this line to the end of the html of your flash file

menu="false"

an example would be

<embed src="http://bloodshed.**********/bsd/flash/banner3.swf"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/" width="495" height="80" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" wmode="transparent" menu="false"></embed>


If you are woundering, the

wmode="transparent"

line makes it so the flash background is transparent. Which is a cool effect for your flash.

You can mix the two ways if you want. I usually do.


on the html for the flash,for some reason it blurred out the name of it, it is "s y t e s . n e t", without any spaces inbetween.
