This Tutorial will teach you how to create a simple right click menu in flash using the Action Script.

Step 1

Open a new flash document and create some button shape. After that take the Text Tool (T) and type Right click.

Step 2

Click on the first frame of layer 1, open the Action Script Panel (F9) and paste this script:

function menuChoiceOne()
{
getURL("http://www.toxiclab.org");
}
function menuChoiceTwo()
{
getURL("http://www.profileking.org");
}
function menuChoiceThree()
{
        getURL("http://www.pixel2life.com");
}
function menuChoiceFour()
{
       getURL("http://www.kirupa.com");
}
function menuChoiceFive()
{
       getURL("http://www.tutorialized.com");
}

NewMenu = new ContextMenu();
NewMenu.hideBuiltInItems();
NewMenu.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("toxiclab.org", menuChoiceOne));
NewMenu.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("profileKing.org", menuChoiceTwo));
NewMenu.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("www.pixel2life.com", menuChoiceThree)); NewMenu.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("www.kirupa.com", menuChoiceFour)); NewMenu.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("www.tutorialized.com", menuChoiceFive)); this.menu = NewMenu;

If you like to add a more choices to the right click menu, first you must to do is: define a new function named "menuChoicesix" and after that create another line.

NewMenu.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("Choice six", menuChoicesix));

We're done, test your movie (Ctrl+Enter).
