ContextMenuEventExample class
to remove the default context menu items from the Stage and add a new menu item that changes
the color of a square on the Stage. The example carries out the following
tasks:
myContextMenu property is declared and then assigned to a new ContextMenu
object and the redRectangle property (of type Sprite) is declared.removeDefaultItems() method is called. This method removes all built-in context
menu items except Print.addCustomMenuItems() method is called. This method places a
Reverse Colors menu item in the defaultItems array by using the
push() method of Array. A menuItemSelect event listener is added to the
ContextMenuItem object and the associated method is called menuItemSelectHandler().
This method prints some trace() statements whenever the user
selects Reverse Colors from the context menu. In addition the red square
becomes black and the black text becomes red.menuSelect event listener is added, along with
the associated method menuSelectHandler(), which simply prints out three trace() statements
every time an item in the context menu is selected.addChildren(), which draws a red square and adds it
to the display list, which immediately displays the square.myContextMenu is assigned to the context menu of the redRectangle property,
so that the custom context menu is displayed only when the mouse pointer is over the square.
