RE: [flexcoders] Can't seem to customize Flash ContextMenu
One thing to know about my app is that it has a jpg on the background
and no backgroundColor.
One way I found to work around it was to wrap a canvas container around
all my UI objects and set the backgroundColor t= 0xFF and
backgroundAlpha = 0. I don't think a workaround like this should be
necessary.

Just to bump this up a bit - I'm able to confirm this behavior -
setting a contextMenu at the Application container level sets the
context menu for any UI objects contained within it - BUT NOT FOR THE
BACKGROUND OF THE APP. So if there's any app background not covered by a
UI object you'll see the default Flash ContextMenu when you right-click
on it.
How can this be handled For sure, I want to suppress the
default context menu in my app for the entire area of the player.

Abdul,
Thanks - yes, the positioning is absolute but no - the
wrapper's width/height attributes are the same as the mxml width/height.
And you can get the flash context menu from anywhere on the screen that
there isn't a UI item. Basically the controls are resting right on top
of the application - there's no intermediary container. It seems like
the reference you get to the application (Application.application) is
still one level (or so) down from the player itself. How do you get a
reference to the player so you can set its context menu?

It should work.
But I am guessing that your Application has
absolute width/height specified in your MXML. And your html-wrapper has
different (greater) width/height.
That's the only case, in my opinion, when
flash-player's stage gets exposed.
Try to keep the dimensions specified in MXML and
HTML same.
