right click WIHTOUTH context menu

[mattwatts15]

if this is the code:
i

mport flash.display.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

  
function RightClick()
    {
        stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
        stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
          
        var methodName:String = "rightClick";
        var method:Function = onRightClick;
        ExternalInterface.addCallback(methodName, method);
    }
      
function onRightClick():void {
        var mx:int = stage.mouseX;
        var my:int = stage.mouseY;
       if(my> 0 && my <stage.stageHeight && mx> 0 && mx <stage.stageWidth) {
            trace("mastButton"+" was rightCLICKED");
    }
}

then where do i tell it that i want to have the MouseEvent EventListener on my movieclip labeled "mastButton" ??
(obviously i know its not really a MouseEvent but do u know what i mean? like how to i link this right click event TO a particular movieclip??)

it has nothing to do with actionscript:

The way that method works is by catching the r-click with javascript so it never reaches the flash player - then passing the coordinates in and triggering an "event handler" manually. It doesn't work in all browsers so you need to disable the menu as flosculus suggested.

oh i see...well is there a simpler way to do this?

im surprised AS3 has "DOUBLE_CLiCK" "MOUSE_DOWN" "MOUSE_UP" etc
but no "RIGHT_CLICK"!!!

thats all i need is a simple addEventListener(MosueEvent.RIGHT_CLICK.......but it doenst exist

Right click is reserved by Adobe for their context-menu...it's the only consistent path to get to the security settings panel so allowing it to be overridden opens up some possibilities to abuse the user.
