hideBuiltInItems (ContextMenu.hideBuiltInItems method)

Hides all built-in menu items (except Settings) in the specified ContextMenu object. If the Flash Debug Player is running, the Debugging menu item shows, although it is dimmed for SWF files that don't have remote debugging enabled.

This method hides only menu items that appear in the standard context menu; it does not affect items that appear in the edit or error menus.

This method works by setting all the Boolean members of my_cm.builtInItems to false. You can selectively make a built-in item visible by setting its corresponding member in my_cm.builtInItems to true (as demonstrated in the following example).

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 7

Example

The following example creates a new ContextMenu object named my_cm whose built-in menu items are hidden, except for Print. The menu object is attached to the current Timeline.

var my_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
my_cm.builtInItems.print = true;
this.menu = my_cm;
