hi all

can someone plz tell me that how can i get the name or text of any mc when i right click on that? there are 2 different movieclips. both have same option in its context menu item. now can flash detect that which one is right clicked?

thanks in advance for any support.

It should work then. It works for me. You'll have to screw around with it little and double check it.

Wicked :) Thanks, i'll report that to my superiors :p

Actually, the ContextMenu class has an onSelect event handler which gives you the name of the movie clip (or button or text field) that you right-clicked on. Example:

ActionScript Code:
var myMenu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

myMenu.hideBuiltInItems();

myMenu.customItems = new Array(new ContextMenuItem("Hello World!", function(){}));

myMenu.onSelect = function(dObj:Object):Void {

trace(dObj);

}

myMC1.menu = myMenu;

myMC2.menu = myMenu;

thanks Canadian, but the output window is showing "undefined". but mc's instance name is "lbl1".

thank you all (-: its working now. The problem was that in "Publish settings" there was "AS1.0" was selected.

Did you change myMC1.menu = myMenu to lbl1.menu = myMenu??

yes sure. its there. i hv just added the function for onSelect.

There is currently no right click event for a movieclip. That means you will have to use hitTest to be able to extrapolate which movieclip you clicked on.

Lookup hitTest in the help.

Thats what I was going to ask ;)

its workign in seperate movie, but when i embed this code in my movie, it returns 2 errors in onSelect function. one for "expected {" and another for "unexpected {" !!!!! when i remove "void" it runs without error but dont returns/trace the movieclip name.
