Question

inconsistent options on right click

Forgive my ignorance, BUT, I don't understand why sometimes in a Flash site on right click I get 6 options - zoom, quality, print, show all, settings, about, and other times just 2 options - settings and about. What determines the options we have on right click and how I do/can I control that? I'd like to have all 6 options each time I am viewing flash, but it can be different even in the same website on different flash pages. Also, in programming flash sites, how can I ensure the 6 options are available to viewers so they can zoom on a page of mine?

Many thanks.

    To answer your last question, by default full menus will appear when exporting a FLA so you need not worry about this when publishing your own work.

    noosachic - This menu can be controlled several ways - you can even add custom items to it. In the Flash authoring system you can use:
    fscommand("showmenu", "false");
    Stage.showMenu = false;

    When embedding in HTML, you can add a <param> name as "menu" with a value of "false" OR add the attribute menu=false to your <embed> tag (if you're using the <embed> method)

    When viewing other author's flash work, if they've used Stage or fscommand methods you will never get the zoom, quality, etc. controls BUT if they use the param/embed method with HTML, take the Flash object out of the page and you'll get your full menus.
