Well I've been working with Flex alot more so I will hopefully be posting more things on Flex. Something I have been working on lately is adding Context Menu items to my applications. You can add as many as you'd like but I would limit them to only the essential ones. I searched online and found various examples. Here is how I did it:
FlexContextMenu.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable] public var cm:ContextMenu;
private function init():void
{
// Create custom context menu items
var cm1:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Copyright © 2008 DCFusion.com");
cm1.addEventListener(ContextMenuEvent.MENU_ITEM_SELECT,cm1_link);
cm = new ContextMenu();
cm.hideBuiltInItems();
cm.customItems = [cm1];
application.contextMenu = cm;
}
private function cm1_link(evt:ContextMenuEvent):void
{
goToURL("http://www.dcfusion.com/blog/");
}
public function goToURL(urlStr:String):void
{
var webPageURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlStr);
navigateToURL(webPageURL, '_blank');
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Panel width="100%" height="100%" title="Flex Context Menu Example">
<mx:Label text="Welcome to my Flex app!"/>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
I added a link to my new context menu item using an event listener, but that is not necessary.
And the final product (right-click on the Flex app to see the context menu):
