Chrome Flash Player 21.0.0.213

Yesterday Chrome flash player was upgraded to 21.0.0.213 and it is causing me serious issues. Before the update, by registering a right click handler, I could display a custom popup and the Flash right click menu was not displayed. With the new player the Flash right click menu is being displayed and interfering with the expected custom behaviour.

When the following code (Compiled with PlayerGlobal 11.2) is run in on Chrome I see the custom popup in addition to the Flash right click menu. On Internet Explorer I only see the custom popup.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

    xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" minWidth="955" minHeight="600" rightClick="application1_rightClickHandler(event)">

  <fx:Script>

  <![CDATA[

  import mx.managers.PopUpManager;

  import spark.components.Label;

  private var label : Label;

  private var counter : int = 0;

  protected function application1_rightClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {

  if (label != null) {

  PopUpManager.removePopUp(label);

  label = null;

  }

  label = new Label();

  label.text = "Popup: " + counter++;

  PopUpManager.addPopUp(label, this);

  PopUpManager.centerPopUp(label);

  }

  ]]>

  </fx:Script>

</s:Application>

Also, I can no longer install the Adobe Flash Player Debugger in Chrome. I guess this is because the Adobe player version is older than the Chrome one (21.0.0.197 vs 21.0.0.213).

This is affecting my clients so I need a quick resolution!

    The Adobe flash player debugger 21.0.0.213 has just become available and it has the same problem as the Chrome player. I will see if the debugger can shed any light on what's happening.

    I have also installed the Internet Explorer Flash Player 21.0.0.213 and it is not exhibiting the issue. I guess I can ask my customers to switch to IE for the time being but I am terrified that may also break expectedly.

    This is very frustrating. Surely I am not the only person affected by this?

    We are seeing the problem as well, and have told our users to use IE to avoid it. Also, pressing the escape key will get rid of the Flash menu and show your context menu which is underneath. I've been told by Adobe that they are aware of the problem and working on a fix.
