Not being able to remove Settings ..., About .. and the all-important Download this vidio ... are major drawbacks, not to mention having control over formatting of the menu. Right click support is Flex's biggest weakness IMO. Has anyone noticed that if the user left clicks a control such as a spinner, then right clicks at the same time, the program can no longer capture the MouseUp event on the left mouse button? The spinner keeps spinning as if you still had the left click button depressed even if you let go of the mouse. I have found no good way to prevent this (and am not fond of putting an opaque html layer over the entire Flex application). It makes no sence that right click handling is restricted to Adobe Air. Even JavaScript allows us to capture the right click event. Great post!

They actually said that was its biggest drawback. I read that the ContextMenu API does not support submenus. They actually said that was its biggest drawback.
