ContextMenu.onSelect

Availability

Flash Player 7.

Usage

my_cm.onSelect = function (item:Object, item_menu:ContextMenu) {
  // your code here
}

Parameters

item A reference to the object (movie clip, button, or selectable text field) that was under the mouse pointer when the Flash Player context menu was invoked and whose menu property is set to a valid ContextMenu object.

item_menu A reference to the ContextMenu object assigned to the menu property of object.

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Event handler; called when a user invokes the Flash Player context menu, but before the menu is actually displayed. This lets you customize the contents of the context menu based on the current application state.

You can also specify the callback handler for a ContextMenu object when you construct a new ContextMenu object. For more information, see the ContextMenu class entry.

Example

The following example determines over what type of object the context menu was invoked.

my_cm = new ContextMenu();
menuHandler = function (obj:Object, menu:ContextMenu) {
  if(obj instanceof MovieClip) {
    trace("Movie clip: " + obj);
  }
  if(obj instanceof TextField) {
    trace("Text field: " + obj);
  }
  if(obj instanceof Button) {
    trace("Button: " + obj);
  }
}
my_cm.onSelect = menuHandler;
