mProjector replaces the standard Flash right-click (cntl-click on a Mac using a one button mouse) menu with it's own customizable popup menu.This menu appears when the user right-mouse-clicks any visible part of the application.
By default, mProjector's right-click menu includes: 3 items effecting the application's z-order, an "About" item and a "Close" or "Quit" item.
The right-click menu can be modified or completely removed using mProjector's mMenu ActionScript class. mProjector enables you to include a event handler to respond to custom menu item selections.
The following sample creates a custom right-click menu and an event handler.
/* Custom Right Click Menu (CNTL-CLICK on one button Mac) */
// build menu
mMenu.removeAllItems();
mMenu.addItem("Minimize");
mMenu.addItem("Restore");
mMenu.addSeparator();
mMenu.addItem("Online Documentation");
mMenu.addItem("Contact Tech Support");
mMenu.addItem("Forum");
mMenu.addItem("Check for Updates");
mMenu.addSeparator();
mMenu.addItem("Visit ScreenTime Media");
// handle user selections
mMenu.onCommand = function (menuName, itemName)
{
switch (itemName)
{
case "Minimize":
mWindow.minimize();
break;
case "Restore":
mWindow.restore();
break;
case "Online Documentation":
mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/");
break;
case "Contact Tech Support":
mSystem.openDocument("mailto:support@screentime.com");
break;
case "Forum":
getURL("http://forum.screentime.com");
break;
case "Check for Updates":
mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/mprojector/updates/");
break;
case "Visit ScreenTime Media":
mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/");
break;
}
}
mProjector enables customization of the Windows system tray menu. The system tray menu appears when the user right-clicks on the system tray icon.
The following sample creates a custom Windows system tray menu.
/* Custom Windows System Tray Menu */
// build menu
mMenu.removeAllItems("System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addItem("Online Documentation", "System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addItem("Contact Tech Support", "System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addItem("Forum", "System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addItem("Check for Updates", "System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addSeparator();
mMenu.addItem("Visit ScreenTime Media", "System Tray Menu");
On Macintosh, mProjector enables you to add menus to the application's menu bar. The main menu bar is shown at the top of the screen when your application is active. When adding a new menu use mMenu.createMenu() to create it and mMenu.addMenuToMenuBar() to make it visible.
The following sample adds a Help menu to the Mac application's menu bar.
/* Mac Application Menu Bar Help Menu */
// build menu
mMenu.createMenu("Help");
mMenu.addItem("Online Documentation", "Help");
mMenu.addItem("Contact Tech Support", "Help");
mMenu.addItem("Forum", "Help");
mMenu.addSeparator("Help");
mMenu.addItem("Register", "Help");
mMenu.addItem("Check for Updates", "Help");
mMenu.addItem("Visit ScreenTime", "Help");
mMenu.addMenuToMenuBar("Help");
// handle user selections
mMenu.onCommand = function (menuName, itemName)
{
if ((itemSelected[0]=="Help") && (itemSelected[1]=="Register")) {
//register user
} else {
switch (itemName)
{
case "Minimize":
mWindow.minimize();
break;
case "Restore":
mWindow.restore();
break;
case "Online Documentation":
mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/");
break;
case "Contact Tech Support":
mSystem.openDocument("mailto:support@screentime.com");
break;
case "Forum":
getURL("http://forum.screentime.com");
break;
case "Check for Updates":
mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/mprojector/updates/");
break;
case "Visit ScreenTime Media":
mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/");
break;
}
}
If you are building an application for Mac and Windows users use mSystem.isMac() and mSystem.isWindows() to implement a cross-platform menu strategy.
The following sample code implements a cross-platform menus.
function buildMenus() {
/* Custom Right Click Menu (CNTL-CLICK on one button Mac) */
mMenu.removeAllItems();
mMenu.addItem("Minimize");
mMenu.addItem("Restore");
mMenu.addSeparator();
mMenu.addItem("Online Documentation");
mMenu.addItem("Contact Tech Support");
mMenu.addItem("Forum");
mMenu.addItem("Check for Updates");
mMenu.addSeparator();
mMenu.addItem("Visit ScreenTime Media");
if (mSystem.isWindows()) {
/* Custom Windows System Tray Menu */
mMenu.removeAllItems("System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addItem("Online Documentation", "System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addItem("Contact Tech Support", "System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addItem("Forum", "System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addItem("Check for Updates", "System Tray Menu");
mMenu.addSeparator();
mMenu.addItem("Visit ScreenTime Media", "System Tray Menu");
} else if (mSystem.isMac()) {
/* Mac Application Menu Bar Help Menu */
mMenu.createMenu("Help");
mMenu.addItem("Online Documentation", "Help");
mMenu.addItem("Contact Tech Support", "Help");
mMenu.addItem("Forum", "Help");
mMenu.addSeparator("Help");
mMenu.addItem("Register", "Help");
mMenu.addItem("Check for Updates", "Help");
mMenu.addItem("Visit ScreenTime", "Help");
mMenu.addMenuToMenuBar("Help");
}
}
// handle user selections
mMenu.onCommand = function (menuName, itemName)
{
if ((itemSelected[0]=="Help") && (itemSelected[1]=="Register")) {
//register user
} else {
switch (itemName)
{
case "Minimize":
mWindow.minimize();
break;
case "Restore":
mWindow.restore();
break;
case "Online Documentation":
mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/software/mprojector/docs/");
break;
case "Contact Tech Support":
mSystem.openDocument("mailto:support@screentime.com");

case "Check for Updates":
mSystem.openDocument("http://www.screentime.com/mprojector/updates/");
