Adding Entries to Context Menu in JavaScript

I've seen this question before on SO (here) but I've seen it happen, right-clicking on JWPlayer displays options like "About JWPlayer", etc.

Anyone know how JWPlayer did it, even if it isn't JS?

Plugins like Flash can create context menu items, but only when the user right-clicks within the plugin's container (so a single Flash video can't alter the menu for right-clicks that happen elsewhere on the page).

JWPlayer is essetially a Flash-based player with an HTML5 fallback. If you disable Flash in your browser and force HTML5/JavaScript, you'll see that the context menu is the default menu. JavaScript can't alter the context menu; Flash can.
