would be grateful if anyone could post the coding for automatically adjusting the quality settings to medium or low.

thanks a lot.

Haha that's basic stuff.

_quality = "medium"
or "low"

Unless you mean something like finding the framerate and if itis very low, you change the quality?

If you mean that, I googled the formula for checking the framerate, so those comments aren't mine lol (I only added the last part) and added some limits and tweaks to it:

change the fps to your fps and the limits to whatever you want.

Code:

fps = 30;
var fps_limit_medium = 20;
var fps_limit_low = 10;

var timeinit:Date = new Date();
var lasttime = timeinit.getMilliseconds();
onEnterFrame = function () {
var time:Date = new Date();
//on each frame, figure out how much time has passed by comparing the milliseconds of the last frame to
//the milliseconds of the current frame
timepassed = ((time.getMilliseconds()-lasttime)>=0) ? (time.getMilliseconds()-lasttime) : (1000+(time.getMilliseconds()-lasttime));
//convert the time passed between frames to frames per second. Round it to the nearest tenth.
fps = Math.round(10000/timepassed)/10;
//set last time for the next frame.
lasttime = time.getMilliseconds();
if (fps<=fps_limit_medium) {
   _quality = "medium";
   trace("sadf");
}
if (fps<=fps_limit_low) {
   _quality = "low";
} else {
   _quality = "high";
}
};

I think he just means the quality, as in low, medium, or high.

awesome, thanks andy.

im hopeless when it comes to any kind of scripting.

while im here you wouldn't mind telling me the script that disallows you to rightclick on the movie do you?

Yeah, just do
Stage.showMenu=false;

If you just want to disable one thing, like the play or rewind, do this
root_cm = new ContextMenu();
root_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
_root.menu = root_cm;
root_cm = new ContextMenu();
root_cm.hideBuiltInItems();

var root_cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu ();
//code here
this.menu = my_cm;

_root.menu = root_cm;

and where it says //code here, you can add line with

root_cm.builtInItems.zoom=false;
root_cm.builtInItems.play=false;
root_cm.builtInItems.forward_back=false;
root_cm.builtInItems.rewind=false;
root_cm.builtInItems.loop=false;
root_cm.builtInItems.print=false;
root_cm.builtInItems.quality=false;

root_cm = new ContextMenu();
root_cm.hideBuiltInItems();
root_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("WHAT THE THING WILL SAY", itemHandler))
root_cm.customItems.push(new ContextMenuItem("WHAT THE THING WILL SAY", itemHandler2));
function itemHandler(obj:Object, item:ContextMenuItem) {
// what you want it to do
// examples: getURL("http://www.fluidanims.com", "_blank")
// _root._quality = "High";
// _root._quality = "Medium";
// _root._quality = "Low";
// THIS IS ALL FOR ONE SLOT ON THE MENU.
}
function itemHandler2(obj:Object, item:ContextMenuItem) {
// what you want it to do
// examples: getURL("http://www.fluidanims.com", "_blank")
// _root._quality = "High";
// _root._quality = "Medium";
// _root._quality = "Low";
// THIS IS ALL FOR ONE SLOT ON THE MENU.
}
_root.menu = root_cm;

This should work, right?
