MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK not working

Question

So I can't get MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK to work. I'm using Flash CS6 and Flash Player version 11.5 (right click events were added in 11.4, I believe) but when I test the movie, right clicking does nothing.

Here is some test code that doesn't work:

public function Main()
{
     stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK, traceText);
}
private function traceText(e:MouseEvent):void
{
     trace("click");
}

This successfully gets rid of the context menu that would normally pop up on the Flash player, but I'm not getting any traced text from right clicking on the stage.

I figured out that although I had the Flash Player 11.5 installed, Flash CS6 was publishing to version 11.2. I downloaded the Flash Player Projector 11.5 and ran a test movie on it to see if MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK would work, and it did.

My test movie:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK, rightClick);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, leftClick);
function rightClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
          clickText.text = 'RIGHT';
}
function leftClick(e:MouseEvent):void
{
          clickText.text = 'LEFT';
}

So I updated Flash CS6 so I could publish 11.4 (which should work with the right clicking) and then set the publish settings and tested the movie. It didn't work.

I then opened up just the SWF file (not through Flash CS6) and the right clicking worked.

So now I have to figure out why it works when published, but not when testing it through Flash.
