var my_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
var startMenuItem:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Start",
startHandler);
startMenuItem.visible = true;
my_cm.customItems.push(startMenuItem);
var stopMenuItem:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Stop", stopHandler,
true);
stopMenuItem.visible = false;
my_cm.customItems.push(stopMenuItem);
function stopHandler(obj, item) {
trace("Stopping... "+getTimer()+"ms");
startMenuItem.visible = true;
stopMenuItem.visible = false;
}
function startHandler(obj, item) {
