Introduction

This is an easy tutorial on how to detect when the user presses the right mouse button. It can be useful in flash games that have boundaries for the user's mouse.

Example

Getting Started

1. Open up flash and start a new document. Make it what ever size you like.

2. Click on the text tool and type something like what I did. Make sure the text is static text.

3. Select the text and then select Modify > Convert to Symbol from the main menu. Make it a movie clip instance. (Don't give it a name.)

4. Give these actions to the movie clip:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(2)) {
this._parent.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}

5. Make a blank frame (F7).

6. Add some text that tells the user they right clicked.

That's it! Your done with this tutorial.
