Custom Context Menu in AS3
April 15th, 2008 by

I’ve just been having a play with creating a custom context menu in Flash using AS3. Here is the movie …
And here is the ActionScript …
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.ui.ContextMenu;
import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
import flash.events.ContextMenuEvent;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class Main extends Sprite
{
private var menuItemLabel:String = "© Adrian Parr";
private var url:String = "http://www.adrianparr.com";
private var cm:ContextMenu;
public function Main()
{
cm = new ContextMenu();
cm.hideBuiltInItems();
var cmi:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem(menuItemLabel);
cmi.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, menuItemSelected);
cm.customItems.push(cmi);
this.contextMenu = cm;
}
private function menuItemSelected(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void
{
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(req, '_blank');
}
}
}
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.ui.ContextMenu;
import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
import flash.events.ContextMenuEvent;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class Main extends Sprite
{
private var menuItemLabel:String = "© Adrian Parr";
private var url:String = "http://www.adrianparr.com";
private var cm:ContextMenu;
public function Main()
{
cm = new ContextMenu();
cm.hideBuiltInItems();
var cmi:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem(menuItemLabel);
cmi.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, menuItemSelected);
cm.customItems.push(cmi);
this.contextMenu = cm;
}
private function menuItemSelected(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void
{
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(req, '_blank');
}
}
}
