But it doesn't remove them. So for each time you play the game, it will hog more memory, possibly making your great game unplayable suddenly There is one problem with the above code: All lines attach a new movieclip to the _root variable.

Id like to make a fake Menu Item that says Forward, but actually takes them to the first level, or game over. Kevin,

put this code in _root. of the first frame of your game:

function doSomething() {
}
MENU = new ContextMenu();
MENU.hideBuiltInItems();
MENU.customItems.push(Functioned);
_root.menu = MENU;

it works for my games =)

ps: i didn’t make this code, i got it off the web somewhere (don’t remember the site sorry:()

Anyway, I still prefer using scenes to separate the game from other menus. Here I want to share with you my new game: Colorz http://www.hallpass.com/media/colorz.html David, you can lock the right-click menu in flash to prevent people cheating
