Mouse & SlowText

Basically I have two problems, quite simple, but I'll ask you guys..

I want a menu to appear when I right click on the screen, easy...but I want that menu tu be still displayed where I clicked (not following the mouse position anymore) and eventually disappear when I left click on a menu field...(I'm not asking you how to implement a menu that's something I've quite done, but just how to handle this mouse problem I have)...

And second question, I don't know why but anytime I have to display a simple text, the app starts slowly...I was trying just to display a rect and a text, the app displayed the rect and after 3-4 seconds the text appeared...dunno why!

Thank you guys =D

do you do the loadFont / createFont in setup or in draw ? thats the most common problem.

It's in the setup, but (dunno what happened) now it seems to load perfectly...no delay...=D

Create a menu class that among other things holds: x, y, transparancy and a boolean to toggle it's disappearance. Use a mouse click to create the menu. Then when a menu button is clicked invoke it's slow death (aka decrease transparency until removing the object entirely). Play with it to accomodate your specific needs, but here's a basic example of this.

Code example:

floatingMenu myMenu; // click somewhere to start, click the button to make it disappear
void setup() {
size(500,500);
smooth();
}
void draw() {
background(255);
if (myMenu != null) { myMenu.run(); }
}
void mouseClicked() {
if (myMenu == null) { myMenu = new floatingMenu(mouseX,mouseY); }
else if (dist(mouseX,mouseY,myMenu.x,myMenu.y) <= 75) { myMenu.die = true; }
}
class floatingMenu {
int x,y;
boolean die;
int transparency = 255;
floatingMenu(int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
void run() {
noStroke();
if (dist(mouseX,mouseY,x,y) <= 75) { fill(255,0,0,transparency); }
else { fill(0,transparency); }
ellipse(x,y,150,150);
if (die) {
transparency-=8;
if (transparency <= 0) { myMenu = null; }
}
}
}
