on(RightClick) in Flash5? or on(contextmenu)? 1

Oh great world how do thou capture a rightClick in Flash 5?

Not sure I understand the question...my right-click works great as far as the program goes and functionality. Are you wanting to deactivate the right-click on flash 5 movies in the browser perhaps?

More details for a better answer. Ya' Gotta Love It!X-)

Okay,

I'll will be specific. In order to land a plane you need landing gear.

Any way... For instance:

On (mouseEvent){
    tellTarget ("someMovie");
    goToAndPlay(2);
}

Can Flash 5 capture a rightClick mouseEvent?

Ya know on (rightClick){
    tellTarget ("someMovie");
    goToAndPlay(2);
}

I hope this is specific enough.

To my knowledge, right-click is not an acceptable parameter for the on mouseEvent.
You could probably catch the right-click event through javascript in the html page that calls your movie, and then pass it on to your movie to have it react in some particular way. There are a few scripts out there to catch right-clicks, you could try using one of those and adapt it to your movie.

Is that specific enough?

Thank you that was a good idea, that i already tried. The flash player over-rides the HTML pages contextmenu with it's own.

I am still open to other ideas.

Thank you though.

You can allways dissable the Flash contextmenu alltogether!

Still doesn't work. It then comes up with the macromedia contextmenu (advertisment I guess).
