[Solomon Cloud]

Just a quick question how would I disable right click cheating in my flash game.

Also I use flash 5 and well am wondering if its possible to disable the menu.

Thanks in advance

I myself use the latter two.

I didnt check kendudes links, but here is the html code:

<embed src="mygame.swf" quality="high" loop="false" menu="false" />
<!--Be sure to add the wifth and height-->

Or on the PARAM attributes, just say

<param name="menu" value="false" />

But for that you have to be using the object attribute in your HTML document.

Hope I helped

Well this is handy, i wanted to do the exact same thing.

By the way Kendude did you check the first few posts in the bottom link you posted, something about allowing use of the right click of the mouse in gameplay, does that actually work?

thanks guys.

Yeah in MX 2004 you can add custom options to the right click menu. The options can then run a function.

I think its called something like "customMenu". Can't quite remember, but look in the flash MX 2004 help files about it.

I suppose they would be good for strategy games or in game menus.

I was a bit confused by some of the conversations on the forums that kendude pointed to, so is there a way to completely removed it? Basically make nothing pop up, just like left clicking?

Thanks...

I don't think you can completely remove it. You will always be left with settings and about flash.

"something about allowing use of the right click of the mouse in gameplay, does that actually work?"

Yeah you can scan it like a normal keypress, even under Flash6 ( And possibly 5 ), although you still get the nasty menu.

The middle mouse button also works too.

code:

---

Key.isDown(4)

I think the RMB is 3 off the top of my head, and the LMB 1 or 2 ( Just have a play around with it ).

Just one more question, if its not possible for Flash to completely disable the right-click menu, could you somehow disable it if you made it a downloadable application?

[Squize]

Only really with the major 3rd party wrappers, such as zinc, screenweaver etc.

I'm pretty sure you can hack the actual exe as well to do the same, but that's just a silly amount of effort.

Thanks, I understand now....

Edit: *shakes angry fist at macromedia for not allowing right-click to be used well in games*
