1190 ActionScript classes
This property works only with selectable (editable) text fields; it has no effect on nonselectable
text fields.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 7
Example
The following example assigns the ContextMenu object
menu_cm to the text field news_txt.
The ContextMenu object contains a custom menu item labeled "Resize" with an associated
callback handler named
doResize(), which could be used to add resizing functionality (not
shown):
this.createTextField("news_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 320,
240);
news_txt.border = true;
news_txt.wordWrap = true;
news_txt.multiline = true;
news_txt.text = "To see the custom context menu item, right click (PC) or ";
news_txt.text += "control click (Mac) within the text field.";
var menu_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
menu_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("Resize", doResize));
function doResize(obj:TextField, item:ContextMenuItem):Void {
// "Resize" code here
trace("you selected: "+item.caption);
}
news_txt.menu = menu_cm;
When you right-click or Control-click within the area of the text field, you see the custom
menu item.
If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components
DepthManager class instead of the
MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method, which is
used in this example.

NOTE
You cannot use a menu item that is already used by Flash. For example, Print... (with
three dots) is reserved by Flash, so you cannot use this menu item; however, you could
use Print... (with two dots) or any menu item not already used by Flash.
