Disable right click context menu on HTML5?

Haxe
#1

I am trying to disable the right click context menu on HTML5 (Using latest OpenFL 4), but the compiler throws an error when I am trying to use untyped (also reports the wrong line this is occurring at)

#if (js)
	untyped {
		document.oncontextmenu = document.body.oncontextmenu = function() {return false;}
	}
#end

Also tried to use stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false; or stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK, function(e:Event){ e.preventDefault(); return false; }); but that seems it works only on flash and causes an error/or it does nothing anywhere else.

Do I need to install something else for untyped to work?

What if you try something like this instead? :

untyped __js__('
	document.oncontextmenu = document.body.oncontextmenu = function(){ return false; }
	')```

The latest Lime and OpenFL development builds now support disabling of the default context menu on HTML5 :success:

stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;

Thanks :slight_smile:

Ah tried with single quotes and double and still doesn’t seem to work. Also enclosed it in #if js #end of course, not sure what’s the problem.
