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
