It was always easily possible to detect middle and right mouse button clicks with the ASnative call, but this doesn't seem to exist in AS3.0 anymore. I'm guessing that was because it wasn't recommended since it was never documented.

Is it even possible to detect middle/right clicks in AS3.0 without the use of javascript?

If not, is it possible to import the javascript into the .swf file so it's all together?

AS3.0 livedocs lists functions such as rightMouseDown() but they're "Only available in the AIR runtime". I don't know what that means.

I can't understand why flash seems so set against users making middle mouse clicks, I can understand they want to keep the menu with the right click.

Thankyou for any help or information you can give concerning my questions.
