Changing the right click menu in flash

Changing the right click menu in flash files is relitivley simple. Using the code below and placing it on the root of your document you can add a new right click menu to your published files. This disables the existing zoom in, zoom out ect and enables you to attach functions to the buttons, whether it be launching a new web page or changing the colour of the movie clip document.

So heres what to do:

Paste the following code onto the root of your flash document, directly onto a blank frame, publish your movie, Job done!

And heres the code:

//define any functions to included on a menu item
function launchsite1(){
getURL("http://www.zenduo.co.uk", _blank);
}

function launchsite2(){
getURL("http://www.zenduo.co.uk/contact.php", _blank);
}

////Declare a new menu item
newmenu = new ContextMenu();//Hide the built in flash menu
newmenu.hideBuiltInItems();//define your new menu items
item1 = new ContextMenuItem("My Home Page", launchsite1);
item2 = new ContextMenuItem("Another Web Page", launchsite2);
newmenu.customItems.push(item1);
newmenu.customItems.push(item2);//Build New Menu
_root.menu = newmenu;

You can change add or remove any of the items above to suit your requirements.
