flash and vb question

[Sidro]

Hi,
You know when we insert a flash swf file onto a vb form,
when we right click on it, a flash menu appears. You know, the one that saids, play, rewind, zoom in , zoom out. I was wondering how do we get rid of that? I dont want any menu to appear when a user right click. Anyone kow how to do this? Thankx in advance.

Within the .fla with MX...

Stage.showMenu = false;

Or...

fscommand("showmenu", "false"


If you're using the html outputed by Flash, you can also uncheck the Show Menu box in the Publish settings...

Regards,

Hi,
thanks for the help. Unfortunately, a menu still appeared when a user right click. Instead of the usual play, rewind, zoom in , zoom out menu, now a menu with the option "setting" and "about Macromedia flash player 6" appears. How do I get rid of the menu entirely?
thankx in advance.

Online, you can't! You can allways get rid of the Settings item, if your movie's width is too small to allow the display of the Settings window, but guess that won't be of much help. As for the Macromedia credit, well I can understand why they wouldn't want that to happen!

You can apparently get rid of the entire menu and even stick on your own, but only in projector files and with 3rd party software.

HI,
im not making the flash file to be display online. I want to incorporate it into a VB project. You mentioned that its possible to get rid of the menu entirely. Could you show me how this can be done? Thankx again.
