How to disable Rewind/Forward options?

Question

You know when you right-click on a scene and a bunch of options pop up? How do you disable the rewind and forward options (in-case a user accidentally presses on one of those options) because it screws my whole Flash game up.

You can disable most of the context menu with

stage.showDefaultContextMenu = false;

This will still leave the Settings and About sections though

There was a trick to completely remove the right click menu by catching up right click events on the stage, no idea if it still works with the current flash player versions:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RIGHT_CLICK, doNothing);

private function doNothing(e:MouseEvent):void 
{
    //do nothing...
}

Thank you! Highly appreciate it! – okay14 Jun 28 '16 at 11:38
I wonder if adding `e.preventDefault()` should be used in `doNothing()` because otherwise it does nothing also to prevent showing the menu. – Vesper Jul 06 '16 at 06:22
