emulateMultiButtonMouse

Syntax

the emulateMultiButtonMouse

Description

System property; determines whether a movie interprets a mouse click with the Control key pressed on the Macintosh the same as a right mouse click in Windows (TRUE) or not (FALSE).

Right-clicking has no direct Macintosh equivalent.

Setting this property to TRUE lets you provide consistent mouse button responses for cross-platform movies.

Example

The following statement checks if the computer is a Macintosh and if so, sets the emulateMultiButtonMouse property to TRUE:

if the platform contains "Macintosh" then the emulateMultiButtonMouse = TRUE
