Add linkURL property to ContextMenu item Created Aug 14, 2009

Well, I implemented a different strategy. I changed addCustomMenuItem in ContextMenuBuilder.as:

CONFIG::commercialVersion
private function addCustomMenuItem(menu:ContextMenu, label:String, itemIndex:int, callback:String, separatorBeforeNextItem:Boolean):void {
  if (! callback || callback == "null") {
    addItem(menu, new ContextMenuItem(label, separatorBeforeNextItem, false));
  } else if (callback.substring(0, 7) == "http://" || callback.substring(0, 8) == "https://") {
    log.debug("creating item with url");
    addItem(menu, new ContextMenuItem(label, separatorBeforeNextItem, true), function(event:ContextMenuEvent):void {
      navigateToURL(new URLRequest(callback), "_self");
    });
  } else {
    log.debug("creating item with callback");
    addItem(menu, new ContextMenuItem(label, separatorBeforeNextItem, true), createCallback(itemIndex));
  }
}

It's not the prettiest, but if your "callback" routine starts with http:// or https:// then it will just create a url link to that address. Feel free to use this code, I created it and it is now GPL licensed as well. :-)

Example object embed code:

"contextMenu":[{"Get Custom Video":"http://mediamobz.com/postjob"},{"About MEDIAmobz...":"http://mediamobz.com/"}]

Was this ever implemented into the mainline flowplayer?
