import flash.ui.ContextMenu;
import flash.ui.ContextMenuItem;

function addContext(sprite_:Sprite):void {
var menu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
menu.customItems = [new ContextMenuItem("Select only " + sprite_.name)];
menu.hideBuiltInItems();
sprite_.contextMenu = menu;
}

addContext(yellow);
addContext(green);
addContext(red);
addContext(blue);
addContext(this);

note that yellow, green, red, blue are Sprites, but it can be also buttons

JVM heap size, or why Flash is not compiling

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:51:54 +0000

Its been a while since i write something into my blog, but I want to share my experience over this topic.
As you develop project for sometime one Flash, and your code get bigger and bigger:

Source Code Statistics:

Code lines: 54 937 (59%)
Comment lines: 20 347 (21,9%)
Blank lines: 17 847 (19,2%)

Total lines: 93 121

You will reach in some point where Flash is not able to compile your project. It just throws flash with no action script at all or blank scene.
Thanks to this topic: Giving Flash CS3′s compiler a little breathing room, I manage to overcome this problem.

I will write the steps in win7, because I use this OS.

Right click on Computer
Choose properties
Choose Advanced system settings
Choose Advanced tab
Environment Variables…
Click on New to add variable
Variable name: JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS and for variable value add -Xmx@M, where @ is the size you want your Java virtual machine to use, it can be 256, 512, 1024 (Example : -Xmx512M or -Xmx256M)

// fire from MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN event
private function doDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
var dragInitiator:Image = e.currentTarget as Image;
var dragSource:DragSource = new DragSource();
dragSource.addData(_core, "core");

var dragProxy:Image = new Image ();
dragProxy.source = new Bitmap((dragInitiator.content as Bitmap).bitmapData);

DragManager.doDrag(dragInitiator, dragSource, e, dragProxy);
}
