customItems (ContextMenu.customItems property)

public customItems : Array

An array of ContextMenuItem objects. Each object in the array represents a context menu item that you have defined. Use this property to add, remove, or modify these custom menu items.

To add new menu items, you first create a new ContextMenuItem object, and then add it to the menu_mc.customItems array (for example, using Array.push()). For more information about creating new menu items, see the ContextMenuItem class entry.

Example

The following example creates a new custom menu item called menuItem_cmi with a caption of "Send e-mail" and a callback handler named emailHandler. The new menu item is then added to the ContextMenu object, my_cm, using the customItems array. Finally, the new menu is attached to a movie clip named email_mc. To make this example work, create a movie clip instance on your stage, and use the Property Inspector to name the instance email_mc. In Test Movie mode, the new context menu item will appear if you bring up the context menu while your pointer is over the email_mc movie clip.

var my_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
var menuItem_cmi:ContextMenuItem = new ContextMenuItem("Send e-mail", emailHandler);
my_cm.customItems.push(menuItem_cmi);
email_mc.menu = my_cm;
function emailHandler() {
    trace("sending email");
}
