Right Click on Flash

Hello-
If I right click over flash on a web page I get a menu that is in Chinese, while everything else in my system and my usage of the machine is in English. Is there a fix for this? I've heard of this on windows machines and the RavMonE virus, but I cannot find anything about it for the mac.
Many thanks-

HI,
To put your mind at ease, there are no Mac viruses in the wild. The RavMonE file is .exe file which cannot be read or opened on a Mac unless you are running a Windows partition.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
And make sure Safari is not running in Rosetta. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle so it faces down. Where you see Open using Rosetta... make sure that is NOT selected.
Now try to right click Flash content... if you still see the Chinese dialog...
Try clearing your font cache.
Shut down your Mac.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator. During startup in Mac OS X v10.4.x or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, even if normally you log in automatically. Boot time is a minute or two longer than a normal boot.
After your Mac boots to the Desktop restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.
What this process does... It moves to the Trash all font caches normally stored in /Library/Caches/
Restart your Mac and see if that makes a difference.

Right click on flash movie / SWF file

Why we get flash default menu when i right click on a flash
movie?.
When i enable video bookmark (videomark). user is suppose to
right click on flash movie and select videomark.
is the flash default menu is customizable?. Please let me
know.

Here is a sample script to customize the right-click menu.
Put it in frame 1 of your movie.
var myContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
myContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
var thisTitle:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("My
prison movie", bla);
var thisCredit:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("created
by Paris Hilton", bla, separatorBefore=true);
var thisCopyright:ContextMenuItem = new
ContextMenuItem("© My Intelligence Is Ltd.", bla);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisTitle);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCredit);
myContextMenu.customItems.push(thisCopyright);
function bla() {
//insert your function here
this.menu = myContextMenu;
The function can be anything: getURL, load a movie clip, turn
sound on/off, etc. You can add as many ContextMenuItems as you
want. Each one can have a separate function assigned. It seems that
some sort of function is required by the class, so I use an empty
function like in this example if I want nothing to happen when the
user clicks the menu item.

Right clicking in flash player now brings up pop up menu.

Previously I was able to right click within the flash player while playing a video game, which enabled certain game commands. Now suddenly that functionality has gone away and the settings menu continues to come up every time I try it. The Flash Player is 10.2.152.26. It's a 64 bit computer, brand new. Using Explorer 8. Any thoughts?

I'm having the same problem and it's very annoying when you're trying to play a game where you have to right click to change something.
I've read some old posts on this topic and have tried UNenabling the update but this makes no difference. Is there a solution?
Thanks.

Right Clicking on Flash Crashes Safari

Whenever I right click on any Adobe Flash Player content on any site, Safari will crash for reasons I do not know of. Is there anyway to somehow reinstall Safari or maybe Flash, or better yet, is it possible to fix this problem with a simpler method? Thanks.

HI,
Try uninstalling and reinstalling a fresh copy of Flash Player.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*
Try emptying the cache and resetting Safari also.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Make sure you are running Safari in 32-bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Quit Safari then relaunch.

Capturing right clicks in flash panels

Is there a possibility to capture a right click in a Photoshop flash panel?
When running a SWF in a browser you can right click to display a context menu, which can be populated with own items. But when running a flash panel in Photoshop and you right click somewhere no context menu is displayed. If you right click on a flex list or tree control it selects an item as if it you had left clicked.
I know that there is MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK constant, but appearently it only works in AIR applications. But I read that flash panels run in the AIR player engine. The problems is that Flex Builder does not compile the swf if I use MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK with addEventListener.
Is there any other possibility?

Hi Harald,
You could try implementing a ContextMenu: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/ui/ContextMenu.ht ml

Captivate 4, Right Click and Flash 7

Hello,
I am using Captivate 4 and I need to include right click boxes. I also have to publish to Flash 7 but, this functionality doesn't work below Flash 8. Is there anything I can do to workaround this?
Thanks,
Mary

Hi Vish,
Thanks for your response. The problem is I need to use Captivate 4 because I have to publish to Flash 7. I am limited because of the technology on my learners computers. It looks like the right click option isn't compatible with Flash 7. Do you know if there is any type of workaround for this?
Thanks for your help.

Mouse Right Click Menus flash and are hard to read

I am using Windows 7, and on FF 14.0.1.
Basically, I am having the exact same issue as is described here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/753329?as=aaq
When I right click on menus, or when I go to the Firefox menu, the menu is bordered, but it is transparent. If I click on the location where a menu option is, that option is enabled (open new tab, etc). Or if I use the shortcut key, that also works.
But it's a big pain.

Do you use a custom theme or any add-ons that customize menus?
This was helpful to some users in the other thread: did you try disabling graphics hardware acceleration? Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is the issue resolved?

[Flash Player 9 Mac] Right-click destruction!

Has anyone else noticed that right-clicking with Flash Player
9 freezes the player visuals? Doesn't matter what you do
afterwards, simply right-click anywhere on the player window, and
you're done seeing and redraw updates. Same results on 4 out 4 Macs
tested. Anyone else on a Mac have the same issue?
At this point, I'm not worrying too much about it, as Mac
users represent a very small user base of our target market, but it
does represent 90 percent of out production platform, so its quite
a problem for us, especially when we want to incorporate some
custom right-click actions!
Players 8 and below never had this problem, that any of us
recall. It's a pretty jarring problem, completey blows up your
experience by a simple right-click 99 percent of the time.

Very strange. I'm trying it from my home computer and I'm
getting hangs and such. Even if I close the browser window (but
without Safari restart) the next pages don't work properly either.
Then after a few more clicks and such, I will get Safari just
unexpectedly quitting. All the numbers/versions I gave above are
the same between the two computers.
Additional information is that work is a 1.25 G4 tower and
home is a 1.6 G4 AlBook. At home I haven't done the 2006-008
security update yet. (And I THINK I did do that at work.) I will
try that in just a bit and see if it makes a difference.
The other thing I can think of is that we probably both have
some version of Flash installed. I don't on my machine at work.
Very odd!

Right click in AS3

Guys I've just changed for Flash CS3, and I tried using the
code to disable right click as in AS2 but it outputted some errors.
What code do you use in order to disable right click in flash cs3
AS3? Thanks

What you can do if you want right click is create a new ContextMenu and ContextMenuItem. You'll have to add a mouse click listener to each of your stage items though so you can track the last one clicked;
import flash.events.ContextMenuEvent;
import flash.ui.ContextMenu;
import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;
var lastItem:MovieClip;
var i:int;
for(i = 0; i < stage.numChildren; ++i){
      stage.getChildAt(i).addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, itemClicked);
function itemClicked(e:MouseEvent):void
     lastItem = e.currentTarget as MovieClip;
var rightClickMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
rightClickMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
rightClickMenu.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT, rightClickMenuClicked);
var bringToFront:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Bring To Front");
rightClickMenu.customItems = [bringToFront];
stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;
stage.contextMenu = rightClickMenu;
function rightClickMenuClicked(e:ContextMenuEvent):void
      switch (e.mouseTarget.label)
          case "Bring To Front":
               if(lastItem != null){
                     lastItem.parent.addChild(lastItem);
           break;
NOTE: You do not need to first remove the child to add it again. By adding an existing child you're simply resetting it to the top depth.

Right-click funcionality not working in assessment mode. I NEED HELP!

Hi - I've recently created a number of assessment recordings. The right-click function works as I'm recording as well as when preview the project and then after I publish it. However, when I give it to a colleague(s) to demo it, for some reason the assessment isn't recognizing her right-click and she gets stuck. We're both running the same IE, flash and windows versions so I am really a at a loss on this one. Has anyone ever encountered the same problem and if so what did you do to fix it?! Thanks a million!

somewhere towards the middle of the page @Mike says the following. Hope this helps

Now when you run the movie in your browser, Right-Click is not working...
off course it will not work, as Right-Click uses Flash External Interface, and this new path
is not a trusted path by your flash player
Solution : You need to add this new path to your Flash Player security
Scenario 2: You just shared your right-click movie folder over the network ,
say the new path for other users is   "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
( or "\\nework-machine-02\work\captivate-movies\My-Rihgt-Click" )
and other users are complaining that , Right-Click is not working...
Yes once again the reason is same and new path   "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
( or "\\nework-machine-02\work\captivate-movies\My-Rihgt-Click" )   in not a trusted path by
other user's flash player
Solution : other user need to add this path "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
into his Flash player security setting.

Is it possible to have Flash open the menu when you right click a link?

I'm using sIFR 3 on a few of my websites. Personally I think it's a really cool and nice solution. I have had no issues with it so far except what I've recently discovered.
When you right click on a link (or control click on a mac) it should have the normal menu you'd get if you clicked on a regular HTML link. Also when you hover over the link it doesn't display the status in the status bar (i.e. the URL the link will take you to if you click it).
Anyways, I'm trying to come up with a workaround to this (personally I think the developers should have already thought of one but I guess not). That being said I'm wondering if Flash can do something like that. Is there a code I can put in the Actionscript to tell it to open up the browser menu when someone right clicks or control clicks a link?
For some reason I'm thinking this isn't possible without JavaScript but I have had some people telling me in the current version of Flash it isn't possible at all. I'd be interested in hearing everyone else's opinion.
To see what I'm talking about check out this website I'm building here... http://dev.thinktecmediagroup.com/fibre-federal/
Notice that the top navigation (and side navigation) is all done using sIFR. IF you try and right click (or control click on Mac) on one of the links you'll see nothing happens.

Probleme solved without having to change anything in the flash.
The solution was to add a small part in the CSS in HTML
html {
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;
Solve probleme. All browser. VERY usefull to know !

Right Click Arrange at runtime in code? in Flash CS4 (AS3)

Hi,
I was wondering if and how I can arrange movie clips in AS3 code. I want it to have the same effect as "Right Click > Arrange > Bring To Front" in the project, only during runtime and through code.
Thank you for help and advice!

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.<br />
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>

Firefox hangs and will not allow me to access other programs running when I resize a pop up window, move a pop up window, accidentally right click flash content.

Firefox hangs and will not allow me to access other programs running when I resize a pop up window, move a pop up window, accidentally right click flash content.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Not sure when it statrted

Hi.
When this happens, please press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and see how much RAM and CPU Firefox is using. If they're sky high, then... Well, that kind of issues are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like. Thankfully, 99% of the cases are very easy to solve. However, you do need to diagnose what your exact problem is. Do this:
#run Firefox in safe-mode to disable all extensions and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
#update all extensions and plugins in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#disable all extensions and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
#enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
#you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons.
Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
#do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
#disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix you issues with Firefox, proceed;
#check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
#check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. Except make sure you've followed my instructions correctly.

Hiding transparent Flash layer to allow right clicks

Hi all
Working
example!
I have created a page in Dreamweaver with transparent flash
content. My problem is when I position my mouse over the
transparent area to copy text or click a link nothing happens, and
when I right click over the transparent area I get the regular
Flash menu!
I have placed a my swf Menu in my HTML page using the Draw AP
Div tool.
thanks in advance

yeah, ZINC is a great app and allows you to get the
functionality of a desktop application. Another way to possilby do
it is by creating a AIR application in flash. I don't know that
much about AIR as of yet, but that could be another thing to look
into, an it doesn't require a 3rd party app. You may also be able
to do it using a BAT file executed through the FSCommand in
flash.
