SOLVED: Right Click in AS3
August 19th, 2007Eureka,
A day or two ago polyGeek has revived an old and challenging idea that one could make use of custom right-click functionality in Flash (AS3 + Javascript).
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, there are several very important reasons:
1) Games – the power of AS3 has brought Flash to the world of digital entertainment. At last it is possible to focus on the idea of your game rather than on how to improve the laggy experience. One thing that is still missing – right click functionality. We had this forever in desktop games, now it is time to let your casual RTS, RPG and FPS creations conquer the web.
2) User Experience – 2 buttons are better than 1. Every experimentalist’s dream is to be able to have more input options, not just one button. I can bet someone would soon create a stunning interface using this new functionality and we would see that on no less than FWA.
3) RIA – Rich Internet Applications. My clients are often asking if it is possible to remove embeded Flash Player menus from their applications and replace them with their company’s branding stuff.
***
AND THE ANSWER IS – YES! It is now possible to use custom right-click functionality in Flash and even Flex.
After long hours of searching through Microsoft’s documentation I came up with a universal solution that works nicely at least on 3 major browsers – Firefox 2, IE 7 and Safari. (IE6 has not been tested but I can bet it works OK).
***
Here you can see the * DEMO of right click * functionality (click the grey area to draw transparent dots)
Javascript source code looks like this:

*
*/
var RightClick = {
/**
* Constructor
*/
init: function () {
this.FlashObjectID = “customRightClick”;
this.FlashContainerID = “flashcontent”;
this.Cache = this.FlashObjectID;
if(window.addEventListener){
window.addEventListener(“mousedown”, this.onGeckoMouse(), true);
} else {

document.oncontextmenu = function(){ if(window.event.srcElement.id == RightClick.FlashObjectID) { return false; } else { RightClick.Cache = “nan”; }}
document.getElementById(this.FlashContainerID).onmousedown = RightClick.onIEMouse;
}
},
/**

*/
killEvents: function(eventObject) {
if(eventObject) {
if (eventObject.stopPropagation) eventObject.stopPropagation();
if (eventObject.preventDefault) eventObject.preventDefault();
if (eventObject.preventCapture) eventObject.preventCapture();
if (eventObject.preventBubble) eventObject.preventBubble();
}
},
/**

* @param {Object} ev
*/
onGeckoMouse: function(ev) {
return function(ev) {
if (ev.button != 0) {
RightClick.killEvents(ev);
if(ev.target.id == RightClick.FlashObjectID && RightClick.Cache == RightClick.FlashObjectID) {
RightClick.call();
}
RightClick.Cache = ev.target.id;
}
}
},
/**
* IE call right click
* @param {Object} ev
*/
onIEMouse: function() {
if (event.button > 1) {
if(window.event.srcElement.id == RightClick.FlashObjectID && RightClick.Cache == RightClick.FlashObjectID) {
RightClick.call();
}
document.getElementById(RightClick.FlashContainerID).setCapture();
if(window.event.srcElement.id)
RightClick.Cache = window.event.srcElement.id;
}
},
/**
* Main call to Flash External Interface
*/
call: function() {
document.getElementById(this.FlashObjectID).rightClick();
}
}
[/javascript]
On the Flash side is as simple as this code (AS3):
[as]
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
public class RightClick extends Sprite
{
public function RightClick()
{
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
var methodName:String = “rightClick”;
var method:Function = onRightClick;
ExternalInterface.addCallback(methodName, method);
}
private function onRightClick():void {
var mx:int = stage.mouseX;
var my:int = stage.mouseY;
if(my > 0 && my < stage.stageHeight && mx > 0 && mx < stage.stageWidth) {
// YOUR CODE HERE
}
}
}
}
[/as]
This demo has been tested and confirmed working on:
WINDOWS VISTA
- Internet Explorer 7.0.6001 (16549)
- Firefox 2.0.0.6 (with mouse gestures disabled)
- Maxthon 2 (with mouse gestures disabled)
- Safari 3.0.3 (522.15.5)
Windows XP SP2
- Internet Explorer 6
- Internet Explorer 7
- Maxthon 2 (with mouse gestures disabled)
- FireFox 2 (with mouse gestures disabled)
- Safari 3
- Netscape 8
Mac OSX 10.4.10 (Intel)
- Firefox 2
- Safari 3.0.3
Thank you all for testing!
Opera will not work, the browser forces the context menu to appear and blocks mouse events by default.
If you manage to get the demo working, please post the OS and Browser build number in the comments. Please also leave a comment if you experience any problems with the demo.

Finally a working solution
Vista + Firefox 2.0.0.6 = true
August 19th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
The problem with this solution is that you use wmode=”opaque” or wmode=transparent” to let the browser use its own windowing mode on the animation. There is bugs with Firefox on international keyboards when typing special symbols, @ sign and some other keys in input fields when wmode is set other than windowless. On French keyboard when you type @sign you will have the letter “à” in the input field.
Setting wmode to opaque is also know to slightly reduce framerate on animations that use a lot of graphical rendering (wmode transparent reduce it noticeably).

Thanks for picking up the torch on this Paulius. I’ve added you as an owner on the Google Code project that I started. I’m sure that a reliable solution will be found and the Flash community will be able to take over the Flash context-menu!
August 19th, 2007 at 10:01 pm
Doesn’t work in Mac OS X Safari or FF (EDIT BY UZA: Actually it works on the latest FF 2.0.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.4 Intel). Looks like Paulius is feeling the same pain as polyGeek – it also highlights exactly why Flash/Flex AS,2,3 are so superior to other scripting languages. At least in Flash you KNOW your stuff works in all browsers on 3 platforms. I have no idea how Google does it, they must have a kick-ass QA dept.
This will rock if it ever works.
August 21st, 2007 at 8:17 am
Context menu still appears in FF 2.0.0.6. Could be a mouse gestures issue?
August 21st, 2007 at 9:52 pm
MG: Yes, this IS a Mouse Gesture issue. I can confirm that this solution does not work on browsers that have Mouse Gestures enabled.
Such browsers are Opera, Mozilla Firefox (with plugin) and Maxthon (with plugin).

It’s not working for me on vista and firefox 2.0.0.6. If you rightclick in the gray area it shows the traditional context menu. If you click left on the flash area first, and then click right you get the same context menu like when you make a selection.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:03 pm
As someone who’s dealt with how browser plugins are implemented on X11 (Linux/Unix), I’d be surprised if this ever works there any time soon. Not your fault, though.
It’s a major hack just to get page content to even overlap Flash on X11 using the normal Netscape plugin architecture. Basically, the plugin is going to sit on top of your page, catching events regardless of its z-index or what you’re trying to hook. You can think of it as like trying to capture events on a page while your email client is in front of the browser.
It’d take something like the redirected drawing stuff Zack Rusin is working on to make this nicer. He’s talking in terms of Qt/KDE/WebKit, but the same idea would apply to Firefox/X11: http://zrusin.blogspot.com/2007/06/mirroring-widgets.html

Does not work on Firefox 2.0.0.8 on Windows XP SP2. Draws circle but context menu comes up when right-clicking on flash box. I do not use gesture plugins, but a few plugins I use do add options to the context menu, and I wonder if this is an issue since others have said Firefox 2.0.0.6 works…
November 30th, 2007 at 3:58 pm
Works for me.. (XP Firefox 2 flash 09.r60 )
What’s Adobe position about this ?
Is it..ya know…legal ?
November 30th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
@Adrian:
Adobe has expressed some interest into evolving right-click functionality in the future versions of Flash Player through unofficial channels, but no official statement has been made.
From the legal side – this “hack” uses 100% standards compliant JavaScript and communicates with Flash Player through a bridge provided by Adobe – so yes, it is legal.

Hey!
I’ve just an hour ago got in from work, where today I had written a “right clicker” for AS3, and would you believe it – I scan a little on Google and I find this!
A couple of notes!
1] Opera: Press Ctrl+F12, or click to the preferences… choose “Content” and find the “JavaScript options…” button, can you believe it? Why on earth did they do that?
2] With that disabled you have a new problem, just disable the darn flash context menu the usual way… (in script/on publish)
There you have it, the definitive right click solution!
PS: Put the JS in a and then use ExternalInterface.call(“eval”, …) to inject it into the page, now you have a single solution! Another idea would be to dispatchEvent(MouseEvent.RIGHTCLICK…); – the right click event is there for Air applications, so now you have unified your in-browser/desktop code without compromising functionality.
Oh and Happy New Year!
)
January 4th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
note: where it says “PS: Put the JS in a and…”
It should say CDATA…
January 4th, 2008 at 10:11 pm
PPS: *rollseyes*
RE (anyone with a browser it won’t work in):
Another way to have right click is to create a ‘div’ and ‘spacer.gif’ to sit above the flash ‘div’…
Handling ordinary flash mouse events is a bit of a longhaul JS-AS hack but it works, you can use a cheap dispatchEvent or better still swap the z-index/show-hide the div… its a pain to implement but onces its wired up its good to go.

many thanks to uza and the rest of the testers and contributers!
Adobe’s conservative stance is somehow understandable… but i totally agree that we are entering an age of multitouch displays… and flash player embedded in a browser is _ONLY_ giving us one button??? lame.
but with an adaptation of this solution, together with swfMacMouseWheel… we can have cross platform, 3 button mouse with scroll wheel action!
this rocks!

Is there really no chance to prevent right clicks for other wmode? We have to use FP10 “direct mode” to reach an acceptable frame rate in our game.
Unfortunately, opening the standard FP menu with a right click, will occasionally freeze the whole browser (FF/IE) until you change to another application and then reactivate the browser window again.

It works in IE8 but throws an error. The error is meaningless but based on my debug seems to actually have something to do with this function. Already checked my AS3 code is correct. And it works except for the unspecified error.
call: function() {

}
I am not a js expert so I could really use some assistance here. Even a good debug tool for IE. Any suggestions?

Hey can u get this thing to work on Standalonew Shockwave files?
August 23rd, 2010 at 2:44 pm
This is all really neat, but it doesn’t work on all browsers. I guess that’s unavoidable.
But is there a way for the code to detect if it doesn’t work? That would make it easier for game devs

[...] 這是Uza,s Blog中提出的一個解決方案，首先，我們要在ActionScript註冊一個callback，方便JavaScript通知ActionScript，當使用者按下右鍵時，JavaScript要執行最重要的兩件事，禁用滑鼠右鍵，同時發訊息給ActionScript，然後ActionScript接收到訊息之後，再執行該做的事情，事實上，這個流程意謂著一件事情，就是按右鍵這個動作在JavaScript處理程序時就被擋下來了，ActionScript做的事情就只是等待JavaScript給一個通知，然後做該做的事情，完全跟右鍵無關。 [...]

Just a note: be careful with opaque or transparent wmode, see what Tinic Uro says:
old one (but still true for backward compatibility):

new one:

This works perfectly on your web page.
However, I was trying it in a personal environment for testing, just by copying the 4 files (HTML / both JS / SWF file) and no luck.
Every time I open the page, I get one of the two results – The context menu will function, or no response from a right click.
Any ideas on the cause?
November 23rd, 2011 at 2:46 pm
This issue is solved since Flash Player 11.2 when MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK event was added.
December 15th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
It works when the link to the movie is like this
movie.swf
but not when it’s like this
something.com/movie.swf
What’s the problem? Thanks.
December 21st, 2011 at 1:44 pm
This is a great solution to the java issue, but it’s already solved by the player itself in the latest version. Anyway is great to think other ways.

Since the latest update in Chrome browser, you should use the code snapshot listed here:
http://jds-transparency.com/2012/08/07/getting-rid-of-the-default-context-menu-on-flash-apps/
Also, notice your mouse wheel won’t work until you fix this with the following code:
// Detect all browsers except IE (In IE mouse wheel works fine without workarounds)
if(!(document.attachEvent)) {
var eventType = “mousewheel”;
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf(‘Firefox’) !=-1) {
// For Firefox we must use DOMMouseScroll event
var eventType = “DOMMouseScroll”;
}
window.addEventListener(eventType, mouseWheelHandler, false);
}
function mouseWheelHandler(event) {
var app = document.getElementById(“SuiteApplication”);
if (app) {
var edelta = (navigator.userAgent.indexOf(‘Firefox’) !=-1) ? -event.detail : event.wheelDelta/40;
var o = {
delta: edelta,
ctrlKey: event.ctrlKey,
altKey: event.altKey,
shiftKey: event.shiftKey
}
app.mouseWheelHandler(o);
}
}

Thanks jd! version 0.7.0 is now on google code, with SWFObject 2.2 included by default.

Interesting things here. I am taking care of some thing similar.
March 11th, 2013 at 2:45 pm
Hello there, just trying the rightclick.js and after a lot of different tries, I just can’t get it to work.
Always getting document.getElementByID is null …
I am running on IE 8.
It seems that when RightClick.init() function gets invoked, “flashcontent” is not present.
Even when I move “script” section after the flashcontent div is defined, it makes no difference.
I tried to bind RightClick.init() to both body.onLoad(), as well as a parameter to the swfobject.embedSWF() function, with the same results.
Your demo actually works fine in my browser, but I noticed from “view source” that you are not using embedSWF function there, but calling “new SWFObject” directly.
Can this be a culprit ?
I am using the swfobject.js as published on the project’s website togther with rightClick.js, so hopefully there is no version issue here …
