I wanted to know if you can modify the context menu in the JW longtail player. I have purchased a single user license. I want to edit the "About JW Player 5.7 (licensed version) and place my companies name there.
Thanks

Pablos, Thanks for your information. Can you tell me where would that be located? I have searched through the file that cam with the download, and I can't seem to find the abouttext and aboutlink options.
Thanks again for your help.

This was a feature of the v4 player which was deprecated, but left in for backwards compatibility. It's not documented for the v5 player, since it isn't an officially supported player option.

Is it possible to edit other options of the right-click menu without editing the player code itself? I see there is a RightclickMenu class that is called by the View class within the player code but that seems to piggyback on the default context menu of the flash player (unless I'm mistaken). Is there a way to add other options or do I have to rely on the AS3 core language for that?

There's nothing built into the player to help you do that, so you'll have to write the AS3 code yourself if you want to modify the right click menu.

@Pablo - I have that work-around written and I can post a small tutorial on it for other users if you guys are OK with it.

For licensed players, you can set the abouttext and aboutlink options. For example, setting abouttext to My Company will change the context menu item to read: "About My Company".
