ActionScript 3.0 :: Disable A Button Click But Still Use RollOver?

Jul 2, 2009

I've had this problem numerous times. I want to disable click events for a Button and have the Button appear disabled, but still respond to rollOver/rollOut events.

1. Consider a UI where users can vote for items they are viewing via a "vote" button when viewing an item -- they view one item at a time and there's one vote button on the UI.

2. User clicks "vote" and it sends the vote information to server etc, and stores in the session that the user voted for that item.

3. User can only vote for an item once. So to reflect this, I disable the vote button via Button.enabled = false. This makes the button visually disabled for the user and the user can't click it to vote again.

4. However, I want the user to know why the vote button is disabled, in case they forget they voted for the item and don't intuitively know why the button is disabled. In order to do this, I want rolling over the disabled button to give the user some feedback, like a tooltip that says "You already voted for this item."

5. Because the Button is disabled, I cannot respond to rollOver or mouseOver events.

There are alternative ways to letting the user know why something is disabled, but many times I think a roll over response with a visually disabled button fits the UI situation best. The only solutions I've come with are to check hitTestPoint with the mouse location on mouseMove (nasty) or create an invisible overlay button over the disabled button (also nasty.)

Mar 3, 2009

I have some action script (3.0) Currently, it will allow the viewer to click a button (thumbnail image) and a larger ver. of that image will appear on the stage. I would like to convert this script to a "roll_over" the button (thumbnail image) and the larger image will appear on the stage. When I tried to do this with my new Flash CS4 - it did not work.

Flex :: Itemrenderer Disable Rollover But Keep Alternating Colors?

Jun 1, 2011

Is there a way to customize the rollover and selected colors of an item renderer without losing the alternating background colors?

When i set the autoDrawBackground flag to false the roll over effects stops but for some reason the alternating background is also not drawn.

I would like to create a renderer which draws a white border on state hovered and a yellow border on selected instead of the default rollover color. I would also like to keep my alternating background colors i set on the list.

ActionScript 3.0 :: RollOver And RollOut Effect In Buttons With Disable To False And Keep State?

Jan 24, 2010

I'm using the code bellow to change the color of button on rollover and rollout. Tried to disable the button using mouseEnabled = false, but when rollout, the button changes color, instead of keeping it's rollover state.

Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
//leave button1 as clicked when starting the movie.

[code]....

in short, when a button is rollover, it has to change its tint to "blue", when rollout, change to "null", when clicked should remain in "blue state", and restore the previous clicked button to "null state color".

Professional :: Disable Right Click In Flash?

Aug 28, 2007

The company i am working for are designing an interactive flash movie that requires the Right click Menu to be entirely disable, or else the right click option to be disabled. The best that we can achieve at present is to limit the context menu to "About..." and "Settings".

Is there anyway of disabling the right click function in flash so we can secure our movie?

Our problem arises from the User being able to click on the "About..." menu item and launching a browser. We require that the user is not allowed to access this. We have tried to change the Default Browser in Windows to a custom browser, but to no joy.

Is there anyway for us to disable the Flash Menu, or, Disable the Right click function completely or, re-route the About Menu item to a default browser so we can prohibit the user from access the default webpage?

Would someone please educate me on disabling it. By the way - the right-click menu pops up on the PPC when a user touches the screen for an extended amount of time (~1 sec), rather than just a quick tap.
