ActionScript 3.0 :: Completely Disable Movie Clip Button?
Apr 24, 2010
I have an swf with several movie clips set up to work as navigation buttons (using _up, _over and _down frame labels). The same navigation swf is used by several different HTML pages and navigates between them.
I want to pass the swf a variable with FlashVars in the object/embed script that will disable the movie clip button for the page the user is currently on.
In AS3 myClip.enabled = false; only removes the rollover behavior of the clip, but does not prevent the clip from receiving mouse events.
How can I disable the clip completely so that it does not respond to events?

I'm creating a small drag & drop activity, and I want to be able to check and see if the dragged movie clip is completely within the bounds of another movie clip (or at least in the bounds of a certain x/y zone on the main stage. I can't use dropTest because it returns true if any tiny bit of the movie clip overlaps with the dropTest movie clip.
I also thought of something that just checks the x/y coordinates of the dragged movie clip, but I'd need this to reflect a range of values rather than one coordinate. For instance, I'd want to return true if the movie clip's x is between 50-60 AND the y is between 50-60. I'm attaching a small graphic to illustrate in case my explanation isn't clear enough [URL]

I am using Greensock to tween and during a rollOver I need to disable some buttons. I am pretty sure the code is right but the buttons do NOT disable?
code:
import com.greensock.*;
btn_skins.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
function() {
TweenLite.to(mtvOrange, .25, {y:0});

I want to load a completely scripted movie into a container clip but when I test it none of the script is executed. When I load a movie that is just a tween it works. What should I do to make the script work??? i have a feeling it has something to do with _root it the loaded movie.

I have a movie clip instance ("mc1") on the Stage. When the .fla file is run I want the movie clip to do something when it is clicked, so I put in the following code:
function handlemc1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
// do something here
}
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handlemc1);
This code works fine. Now, there are times when I will want to disable "mc1" so that it doesn't respond to a click. So I execute this code in those circumstances:
mc1.enabled=false;
But this seems to do nothing. When the user clicks "mc1" the code inside "handlemc1" is executed. I even put a trace inside "handlemc1" which prints out the value of mc1.enabled. The value that is printed to the output window is "false".
I would be grateful if someone could tell me why setting "mc1.enabled=false;" did not stop "mc1" from responding to the click event. Also, is there another way to disable "mc1"?

I have some buttons, and above them a movie clip with a 20% transparency which I use for some graphic effects in my page. But the buttons can't be accessed (they are not working) because the layer covers them.I have used the following code to disable the graphic layer:overlay_mc.buttonMode = false;overlay_mc.enabled = false;overlay_mc.mouseEnabled = false;but none of these solves the problem. The buttons are still covered and inactive.

I have created a flash website, each button is a movie clip with an invisible button over it containing the following script
on (rollOver) {
_root.mouse_over_profile_btn = true;
}
on (rollOut) {
[Code]....
each page is also a movie clip and on release of a button its played. the problem is that when i press another button to play another movie clip 'page' the old content is still there.
Is there a way of reversing the page transition i have used to bring out the movie clip and then bring in the next movie clip.

I have been having some trouble with a movie clip basically designed to act as a button for a store front for a website.This movie clip has, stored as the front of the movie (i.e. before you click in to edit the movie) the following code:
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Over");
}[code]..........
This gives the movie the hover over and out effect and animates the button so as once pressed the button expands to give a 'Product Details' view.However, when clicked the info shows up as it should but the hit area which I put into the Movie Clip is still on the info area so none of the contents on this new window are accessible and when the cursor leaves the designated info area the movie clip returns to its first stage as it would appear at the start of the animation.Is there any simple way to disable the HitArea on specific frames within a Movie Clip?

i have a navigation with buttons that load external movie clips into a empty movie clip. Yes, very simple.if i click on the button to load the swf repeatedly, it will re-load the movie repeatedly (very annoying). I want to disable the button after it has been clicked once, and re-enable it when another button is clicked.The buttons reside inside a movie clip on the main stage.The empty movie clip resides on the main stage.heres the code for one of the buttons:
on (release) {
_root.target_clip.loadMovie("updates_nav.swf","1") ;
}
I just want it to load once then disable the button. I tried the button.enabled=false into the brackets but i get no results.

I am trying to move a movie clip containing content via AS3 tween with a button outside of the movie clip. I have achieved this effect on another project by using the following code:
Actionscript Code:
var myxTween:Tween=new Tween(content_mc,"x",Regular.easeOut,content_mc.x,theXPosition,.8,true);
I set up a moveContent funtion using that tween, then used:
Actionscript Code:
content_mc.aboutBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutClick);function aboutClick(e:MouseEvent):void { trace("aboutClick");current_btn=e.currentTarget.name; moveContent(588,-538,"about.swf");}
to move the content. I am just wondering how to achieve the same effect but use a button on a separate layer that will be static.
