IE+Vista+Flash context menu lockout

Hi there experts,
I'm tinkering with the mic activity AS3 stuff (although this
is a general
flash question). This issue happens whether the .fla is
trying reading the
mic or not though. On IE+XP I can right click to get context
menu up, then
select allow mic access fine.
On IE+Vista the menu comes up, but all the tabs and buttons
are partially or
totally unresponsive! It's like the browser is blocking mouse
clicks or
something. I can't set mic to allow access, even though the
mic can be seen
to be read on the activity level meter on the context menu.
Has anyone else had this problem? I can't seem to google for
the exact issue
so far.
Many thanks
Richard Smith

I found out part of the problem myself in the end.
Wacom Tablet on Vista+IE. Clicks on browser fine. Clicks on
Flash stage
fine. Clicks on some Flash context menu buttons blocked.
Using a mouse on
the same system worked fine.
May be a Wacom driver issue? But still very odd behavior!
Thanks
Richard Smith

Removng flash context menu

Hi,
I have to play some swf files in my VC++ application. I am
using the flash ocx control to load and play the swf files.
I need to avoid the flash context menu that is coming when
right clicking.
(If this is not the right forum to ask this question, please
suggest)
Thanks in advance.

In publish settings under html tab uncheck "Display

Keyboard shortcut for flash context menu?

What is the keyboard shortcut to open a context menu in Flash? Shift+F10 doesn't work.. Now I am trying to implement a key-down event handler like below:
public function customKeyHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
if (e.keyCode == flash.ui.Keyboard.F10 && e.shiftKey)
But this is not working as the F10 key in flash is reserved by the system and cannot be used in action script according to
this http://www.flexer.info/2009/12/20/flexflash-keyboard-key-codes/ .
Does anyone know how to go about enabling context menu in Flash to be opened using keyboard (not mouse right click) ??

please don't cross-post.

Disable Context Menu - Flash Professional Export (Flash 11.2 - CS6)

Flash 11.2 added the capability to attach an right-click mouse-event to MovieClips.
EX:
var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RIGHT_MOUSE_DOWN, myFunction);
When this listener is attached, it should be impossible for the Context Menu to pop up on right-click of this object. Flash disables the functionality.
When I export a new SWF from Flash Professional (CS6 Mac) and that SWF is embedded in the browser, it works as expected. Right-click does not spawn a context menu.
However, this is not the case with the flash player within Flash Professional. The flash player presented within Flash Professional just after export will does not hide the context menu.
While it's possible for me to develop by simply exporting the SWF and testing it in-browser, I lose out on all the debugging that Flash Professional offers.
How do I fix this issue?
NOTE:
This issue isn't with exporting to 11.2 - I can already do that. All changes mentioned in this tutorial have already been made with base install of Flash Professional CS6.
running:
trace(flash.system.Capabilities.version)
results in:
MAC 11,2,202,228

I've got the same problem!
I'm currently using Adobe Flash CS6 and I don't gave an idea of how to deploy my apps to be published on the Mac App Store!
If you find the answer, please, let me know!
Here's my email: [email protected]
Thanks a lot!

The problem is that Google has an onmousedown attribute added to the links that modify a link if you click or right-click a result link to make the link point to a safe browsing check on the Google server. 
You can see that if you hover a link and you will notice that after you have (right) click a link the the URL changes to www.google.com/url?xxxxx.
You can use this bookmarklet to remove the onmousedown attributes.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){var e=document.querySelectorAll('*[id="search"] a[onmousedown]'),E,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){E.removeAttribute('onmousedown')}})()</nowiki></pre>

Context Menu is not working in flash player 10.1

I write a flex application. I added some custom menu items in context menu. when I compiled this code using flashplayer 10.0, it works fine and my added context menu items are shown when I Right-Click. But when I compile same code for flashPlayer 10.1, menu items that I added in context menu are not shown when I Right-Click. What should I do to resolve this issue? I am using sdk 3.5.
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.
I am doing this;
    private var cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
    var versionMenu:ContextMenuItem = null;
    var dateMenu:ContextMenuItem = null;
    if(model.appVersion.length > 0)
      versionMenu = new ContextMenuItem(model.appVersion);
    if(model.releaseDate.length > 0)
      dateMenu = new ContextMenuItem(model.releaseDate);
     cm.hideBuiltInItems();
     var cmArray:Array = new Array();
     if(versionMenu != null)
       cmArray.push(versionMenu);
     if(dateMenu != null)
       cmArray.push(dateMenu);
     cm.customItems = cmArray;

Open Flash Player context menu with keyboard?

Is there a way to open the Flash Player (9 or 10) context menu with the keyboard?
We are building applications that require full keyboard support, and it is desrable to add some custom items to the Flash Player context menu. However, if keyboard-only users cannot access the menu, we will have to find a different solution.
thx

Thanks. That's just what I needed to know.
The Mouse Keys method worked fine. I couldn't get the VoiceOver approach to work, but I was just looking for one method.
Too bad none of this is enabled by default. I find Apple's strong dependency on the mouse to be a pain, but I guess they're targeting a market of less experienced users.

Flash trapallkeys and context menu issue on Mac

Hi
Using Flash CS3 and AS2. There seems to be a conflict when trapping all keys and with the context menu on Mac. If I have a Flash movie with a single line of code:
fscommand("trapallkeys", "true");
When I open the resulting swf in either the standalone Flash Player or if I publish as a Mac projector, when I right-click I get the context menu appear as normal, but none of the menu items work - nothing is triggered and the menu disappears. This is even the case for "Settings..." and "About Flash Player..." items. If I open the swf in a browser or run the movie from the Flash authoring environment, then the context menu works - but of course the fscommand is not run in these circumstances.
I've tried publishing for different Flash Player versions (down to 5!) and running in different Flash Players (a couple of version 9's and the latest version 10).
Has/can anyone get the fscommand to run AND the context menu to work together in the standalone Flash Player or the Mac projector? By the way, this only seems to be an issue on the Mac version - both work together on a Windows machine.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mark

Hello Rohan,
We had the same issues as you described and we're on NW 2004s patch 9.
We applied the OSS note 909314 (as SAP suggested) and those two issues were resolved.

Firefox doesn't let me copy the web address from the address bar using the context menu with second button in mouse or trackpad

Hello!
I write to report a problem I have with the new update v35 and v35.0.1 Firefox on address bar
With the new version 35 of Firefox on Mac OSX Yosemite, clicking directly with the right mouse button in the address bar to copy the web address, context menu NOT allowed to copy the link, it shaded in gray, inactive ... you have to click on another browser free zone before returning to click a second time and be able to copy the link from the context menu
I mean, with the first right click in the address bar context menu that appears don't allow me to copy the link directly, you have to click on another area and then clicking again with the right mouse button in the address bar to copy the web address (happens to all pages)
I tried to open Firefox with inactive complements and plugins, and reset Firefox to first time use (like the first install) and the problem is here again... With or without complements and plugins the problem is here
This happens before and then when I format my computer
Here I put a screenshot that explains the problem better than my words
http://i.imgur.com/QxKd8P1.gif
I hope you can help me

The icons that show up when you right click in that image do not look like the default version of Firefox, even with the Spanish Dictionary/Language pack.</blockquote>
Hello
The icons in the screenshot is from Linux OS, because I don't know how to capture screen, and somebody in Linux OS made it to show the problem that I was talking about
I don't have any icon addons only have 2 plugins, quicktime (integrated in OS) and adobe Flash, updated both
Before I format my Mac, I upgraded Firefox to v35 and here came this error
Then I format my Mac after days, by subjects of hard disk space, etc... when I install Firefox 35 (new install) the problem was here again
I tried to Open Firefox with disabled Add-ons, and Reset Firefox to an install version, but the problem is here always

Context Menu Verb "Read" not "Open"

I have an application which uses ShellExecute(hWnd,"open",pFile,NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED ); to display attachments. The pFile can be any type of document including PDF. On a Vista machine with Adobe Reader (8,9, or 10) in the User's Temporary directory it does not work for PDF documents. When I right click the PDF document the Default Verb is "Read" not "Open". (If I replace the "open" in my call to "read" it works, but I can't do that is it can be an arbitrary attachment).
Looking in the Registry for the Shell verbs only "open" is entered. If I use "Open With" to set the default program to "Notepad" it opens the files in notepad. If I change it back to Adobe it goes back to "read".
I did not set this machine up and there could be some "interesting" permissions, security settings, but would these cause Adobe Reader to change the verb to "read" from "open"? (And if so, how do I remove the settings?). I am also running as administrator with full read/write access to the directory?
I trawled the Internet and could only find one other person with this problem, but no solution...

Any new results on this issue?
We could resolve what seems to be the same probleme by fixing the registry.
We had a domain user on a machine (Win 7/64bit) with only a "Read" entry in the context menu for pdf files.
Using ShellExecute('open'...) in a similar use case we had the same result as ceeebeem.
Adober Read X is installed on all of our machines.
Other users - especially a "fresh" user - on the same machine haven't got this problem.
We started regedit for the specific user and found
     HKCR\.pdf\(standard) = pdf_auto_file
Other users had:
     HKCR\.pdf\(standard) = AcroExch.Document
The entries and subtrees under:
     HKCR\AcroExch.Document and
     HKCR\AcroExch.Document.7
were identical for all users.
Reinstall or Repair the Acrobat Reader X did not solve the problem.
Also reassign the extension by "Open with..." did not work.
But deleting the "HKCR\.pdf" entrie for the specific user did the job.
After a registry refresh the .pdf-entry reappeard for this user as:
     HKCR\.pdf\(standard) = AcroExch.Document.
So this seems to be a problem of registry virtualisation.
(May be another program with not enough access right has produced this virtual HKCR\.pdf entry.
In our case the Foxit Reader was priviously installed (and later removed) on this machine. But this is just a guess.)
EDIT:
Hm maybe editing HKCR was not a goog idea because according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/en HKCR is build from HKCU\Software\Classes and HKLM\Software\Classes. So values should be edited there...
But problem stays resolved, may ba as a side effect.

Printing from Explorer context menu prints in wrong scale

Hi,
I have a problem with a customer; when they right-click a PDF file and choose "Print" from Explorer context menu the actual printout is sometimes printed in the wrong scale, ie it looks zoomed. The same problem exists when printing PDF's from other applications as well, for example Outlook. If they print the same PDF one more time (by right-click-printing) the problem may resolve itself. Sometimes it's enough to print twice, other times they need to do it more times. The problem exists in several computers, which is why i want it to be a problem with some default-settings in Adobe Reader.
What might cause this behavior ?

So, 4 years have passed, and one would hope the problem solved itself in some update the last 4 years.
However, it has not. (Well, actually it was fixed for a short while. Then it broke again:()
I do have some fresh information that can help you devs at Adobe to maybe get closer to a solution.
Just before christmas (nov 22) i was doing a new attempt to solve the problem.
At the time Reader XI had been released, but not yet installed at the client. Crossing my fingers and praying to higher powers i downloaded XI and gave it a shot; and the problem actually went away! My theory was that finally some architectual change had been implemented; or parts of Reader had been rewritten for any reason. Anyhow, the problem was gone after nearly 4 years and both me and the client was happy!
Today the client called again. The PDF-printouts are zoomed again. Worse than ever. Now, EVERY PDF that's printed was getting zoomed (if printed from another program.). When printing, Reader flashes by the screen; so i guess the app does something like "adobe.exe /print %temp%\whatever.pdf" or however it works.
I immediately suspected that an update had been installed and broke the Reader again. This was the case. 11.0.06 had been auto-installed last week. After searching adobe site for 30 minutes i finally found the downloads required to get 11.0.05 installed and running again. *poof* problem gone. Every print is good.
SOO..
11.0.05 does not contain the bug that makes most printouts zoomed. (WORKS)
11.0.06 contains the bug again. (DOES NOT WORK)
So, whatever changes are in that update broke the Reader for the client again.
ADOBE: Hope this gets u closer to a solution!
PEOPLE: If you are experiencing the same problem as my client, please try my solution. It just might help you.
ps. oh, and where u download older versions from adobe.com is
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Windows
Install order:
- 11.0.01                AdbeRdr11000_mui_Std.zip
- 11.0.04 patch      AdbeRdrUpd11004_MUI.msp
- 11.0.05 patch      AdbeRdrSecUpd11005.msp
Im not sure if installing Multilanguage/All Languages makes a difference.

Extract All context menu

Extract All option is missing in my right click Context Menu.
I tried to use the restore default file type association and selected Zip to restore. That did not work.
I also used the tutorial from the same forum to install Extract All. That did not work either.
For now I am using 7 zip.
I would like to know if there is anything else I can do to restore the "native" Extract All option, such as registry editing.

Hi david hk129,
I have no idea about restoring the "native" status of Context Menu. It's hard or impossible, if you have not saved registry or image of Windows. But...

Web report - Right click for context menu

I believe SAP switched the way (left mouse button to right one) to get web report context menu as of BW 3.5. I am looking for the official documentation for it. I could not find it in online help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b2/e50138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Does anyone knows where I can find it?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 32 bit. Every time I can reproduce this bug, I'm able to revert it by killing the Adoble Flash process:
Example:
$ ps ax | grep libflashplayer.so
2072 ? Rl 0:05 /opt/firefox/plugin-container /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so -omnijar /opt/firefox/omni.jar 32533 true plugin
2229 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep libflashplayer.so
$ kill 2072
Plugin version: Shockwave Flash 10.2 r159
Hope this helps to find the cause.

Acrobat context menu hide!

Hi Everyone!
I would like to know, how can I hide the context menu ( righ clck menu ) in 3D pdf?
Is it possible?
Thank You for some help!

Hi,
thanks Dave for your answer which suggests a viable solution. However, please have a look at the attached file (ftp://ftp2.bentley.com/dist/collateral/Web/composing3d.pdf) from MicroStation. Take for example Annots3D[0] on page 5 and see the extended right-click context menu not replicated in the toolbar. Also play with their animation activating it.
It seems they embedded a script into a 3D annotation. Interestingly, it stays a 3D annotations though its interactivity is augmented. One way they may have run is the following: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WS62d861336721011263ac399c138c596fc25-7fff.html
(scroll down to “Advanced multimedia options (Acrobat Pro)” - SWF tab).
What do you think about this? Have they gone low-level or just managed to run Flash within a 3D annotation (no plug-in needed)?
Thanks once more.
