public dynamic class ContextMenuItem
extends Object
The ContextMenuItem class allows you to create custom menu items to display in the Flash
Player context menu. Each ContextMenuItem object has a caption (text) that is displayed in
the context menu, and a callback handler (a function) that is invoked when the menu item is
selected. To add a new context menu item to a context menu, you add it to the customItems
array of a ContextMenu object.
You can enable or disable specific menu items, make items visible or invisible, or change the
caption or callback handler associated with a menu item.
