336 Chapter 12: ActionScript Dictionary
Flash Player has three types of context menus: the standard menu (which appears when you right-
click in Flash Player), the edit menu (which appears when you right-click over a selectable or
editable text field), and an error menu (which appears when a SWF file has failed to load into
Flash Player.) Only the standard and edit menus can be modified with the ContextMenu class.
Custom menu items always appear at the top of the Flash Player context menu, above any visible
built-in menu items; a separator bar distinguishes built-in and custom menu items. A context
menu can contain no more than 15 custom menu items.
You must use the constructor
new ContextMenu() to create a ContextMenu object before calling
its methods.
