Hi, In discussing an SVG application this week, it was noted that we often want to interact with an element in more than the few ways that a single button mouse provides (whilst SVG of course allows for various meta keys, or to detect other buttons being pressed, differences in systems make such difficult to actually use - especially with pen based devices and things) ASV provides the ability to modify the Context Menu, and most devices have some concept of a context menu which is accessible in a way the user understands. So adding entries to these menus which when activated would fire events in the SVG document would make it easy to provide UI's which are understandable to users without needing to teach them new conventions, and would also known to be compatible with their hardware (ie not using click+key combinations that weren't available, or different buttons on a pointing device) I'm not sure that the Adobe Method is particularly appropriate, but the result is similar to what I want to be able to do. Jim.
