Stage.showMenu
Description
The Boolean showMenu property indicates whether the Flash Player’s contextual menu
contains a full list of items (
true) or a minimal list of items (false). It defaults to true but is
often set to
false to prevent users from manipulating the movie in undesirable ways, such
as stopping it, rewinding it, or zooming it. The contextual menu is accessed using right-
click under Windows or Ctrl-click on the Macintosh.
In Flash 6, the following menu items are available when
showMenu is true:
Zoom In
Zoom Out
100%
Show All
Quality
Play
Loop
Rewind

In both cases, the Settings option leads to the Settings dialog box, where the user can set
the SharedObject disk space limit and configure her camera and microphone.
There is no built-in way to disable the Flash Player’s contextual menu entirely. However,
several third-party tools can remove the menu from the Standalone Player. See:
