530 Chapter 7: ActionScript for Flash
Example
The following example creates two new context menu items: Start and Stop. When the user
selects Start, the number of milliseconds from when the SWF file started is displayed. Start is then
made invisible in the menu. When Stop is selected, the number of milliseconds that have elapsed
since the SWF file started is displayed. The Start menu item is made visible and the Stop menu
item is made invisible.
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) {
trace("Starting... "+getTimer()+"ms");
startMenuItem.visible = false;
stopMenuItem.visible = true;
}
this.menu = my_cm;
