Stage.showMenu

Its all in the name, Stage.showMenu is a Boolean property of the Stage object that defines whether to display the menu or not, when the user right-clicks on your flash movie.

A boolean value is either true or false, 0 or 1, on or off, the Stage.showMenu value can either be true or false:

  • true - Show the menu on right-click
  • false - Down show the menu on right-click

Please bear in mind, that this isnt the answer to all our prayers, when you turn the right-click menu off, the ‘About Flash 6 Player’ and ‘Settings’ options are still displayed, so no, you cant ‘fully’ remove the right-click menu.

The actionscript:

Stage.showMenu=false; //turn off the right-click menu

This property has not yet been added to the Macromedia Flash MX Actionsript Dictionary Errata.
