ActionScript 3.0 :: Disable "mouseEnabled" From Graphic Symbols?
Sep 24, 2009
I know it`s possible to do the following on Button symbols:
btn1.mouseEnabled = false;
to make it so when the user rolls over the button, the mouse icon doesn`t change to a hand.
But it seems that all the Graphic symbols "mouseEnabled" are by default "true". As when using "Convert to Symbol" -> "Graphic" objects cannot be instanced, the following cannot be used:
graphic1.mouseEnabled = false;
What is the solution to turn all graphics "mouseEnabled" to false?

Let's say I have Class Holder linked to a MovieClip holder_mc. holder_mc has a child held_mc that has a Graphic Symbol pic_gr. pic_gr has multiple frames.
From the Class file of Holder, how would I change the frame of pic_gr? I also didn't see a way to name the instance of pic_gr, is that right?

Does anyone know if it's possible to have Graphic-type symbols in a shared library as it won't let you add an identifier to them? It's ok to use Move Clips but they increase the file size.

I'm trying to export my flash animation to quicktime, but because for some odd reason the normal .mov exporter on flash corrupts the images, I'm exporting to .swf, importing to premiere pro, then exporting again to .mov. The problem is that .swf import on premiere pro only captures the first layer of the timeline, so I have to use graphic symbols in order to get all the animations out on the first layer. Now I'm trying to do blur on some of the symbols, but graphic symbols can't have filters, and movie clips won't show up on premiere pro.

Should I use Movie Clip or Graphic Symbols for Character Animation? What do people who make TV shows use. If I'm not planning on manipulating any symbols with ActionScript and I'm not using a symbol that requires it's own time line like a walk cycle, is there any reason to use movie clips symbols? If I put my animation on the web will it download noticeably faster if I use graphic symbols instead of movie clip symbols?

As the title says, how do you animate the resizing and moving of graphic symbols without making the other objects go invisible? I'm using Flash CS4. Here are the bizarre, unexplainable problems I've had before. First of all, here's my basic scene. It's 6 rectangles and 8 half-circles. [URL]. First thing I tried doing was applying a Classic Tween (since Motion Tween did nothing and Shape Tween was disabled). However, what that did was turn every object in the entire work space into one giant object for no reason at all, which certainly isn't what I wanted. [URL]. What I realized is that in order to avoid having all of the objects merged into one, I had to create a brand new file first. [URL].
Next, I added in a blank keyframe and a Classic Tween while the workspace is still empty. [URL]. Then finally copy/paste the objects into the first frame from the first file: [URL]. Now I paste those shapes again into the target frame and resize one of the diagonal shapes: [URL]. Then I moved that rectangle to a new position: [URL]. However, when I preview the animation, only the animating object shows up... everything else is invisible. [URL]. Also, if I try moving a different object, the rectangle will start spinning for no reason. [URL]. How can I animate this object without making everything else go invisible and keep the object from spinning out of control?

I'm working through a book called Foundation Game Design with Flash, and I'm finding the Flash IDE confusing. I've been programming for several years, so working with AS3 directly is far easier than trying to understand symbols and nested symbols and the difference between graphics and movie clips and scoping issues and all that -- when tied into the IDE.
How many of you who are making games in AS3 also use the Flash IDE? Can anyone recommend a resource that is AS3 heavy and Flash IDE light? I don't care how much time I may or may not save by using things like the timeline, I just want to understand what I'm using.

I'm attempting to use CS4 (PC/Vista, if that matters) to create a SWF file that will basically act as a "library" of commonly used symbols. This SWF would be loaded at runtime by other SWFs, which could then use the symbols within it, including all art and code assets.

Im working on a school project in flash, and I solved many problems by reading the forums. But there is one problem that I just don't know how to solve.
I have an object (objectB) which should be highlighted when the mouse drags anohter object (objectA) over objectB. ObjectB contains a rollout and rollover which tells the objectB timeline to go to a specified frame where the color of the object in movieclip objectB is different from the first frame.
Anyhow, this is my maincode in the maintimeline of the flashfile so far;
[Code]...
Now the reason why I use event.target is because I'm going to put in just too many objects that will do the same thing later on. So the problem is that the objectB won't be dropped, or stopped dragging. The rollover function on objectA works when I roll over it when I drag objectB. But why isn't the function dropObject ever executed?
Do someone have a clever and easy solution to this? I guess there is something obvious that I've missed.

I've created a simple drag and drop game,and when u drag and drop a particular movieClip,another movieClip inside of the current movieClip is played, eg- thats not correct or that correct, depending on weather the movieClip hits the right target, while this is happening,i want the the other movieClips to be disabled, i.e, they should not be able to listen for any event.I've also tried the following piece of code to disable the movieClips, but I guess somehow mouseEnabled = false; is not working.
var arrClips:Array = new Array (aa_mc, bb_mc, cc_mc);
function setListen (element:*, index:int, array:Array) {
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, setCurrent);[code]...........

It's an image scroller. It has an odd shortcoming that I can't seem to work around. My site is a simple portfolio site with 3 sets of images. I'm using 3 instances of this component, overlapped within the same visual space of the stage, and currently switch through the 3 sets (instances) with alpha tweens using the Activate Tween engine, which augments an object with an .alpha = 0, with .visibility = false; [URL] - to see the behavior I'm addressing. Takes a bit to load wish it were faster.

How do I make a DisplayObject3D have mouseEnabled = false. I have a Sprite behind the Papervision3D scene listening for mouse events and so i need to let it pick up those mouse events through some of the DisplayObject3D objects.
I've tried adding the DisplayObject3D to a separate ViewportLayer and setting thats mouseEnabled to false but that doesn't seem to work.

If I set the mouseEnabled property of a button to false, it automatically triggers the MOUSE_OUT (and ROLL_OUT) event.Is there a way of avoiding this? I don't want any events to be active after setting this property. I attached an FLA, also here is the code:
Actionscript Code:
exterior_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Click);exterior_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, Rollover);exterior_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, Rollout);exterior_btn.mouseChildren = false;exterior_btn.buttonMode =

I just cannot understand why mouseEnabledWhereTransparent does not work on this skin. The Skin this creates is basically a Button with a transparent background and a little triangle to the left side, like so: >ButtonText But the empty space around the Triangle does not receive mouse events. I've tried wrapping another group around the triangle path and I've tried wrapping it into a Graphic Object, also without success. I could create a Rect with 0 alpha below everything, but isn't that exactly what mouseEnabledWhereTransparent should be doing?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Simple example.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.*;
clip.addEventListener( MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function( event:Event )
{
trace( "over " );
[Code]....
Even though mouseEnabled is set to false, still ROLL_OUT is cought. Its propably cause mouse GOES out of the object, but I dont think it should be like this.

I have several sprites nested in containers. Let's say, that there are six containers (each represented by a Sprite) nested. I use the mouseChildren = false property on the container at depth 3, so the containers that lie deeper cannot receive mouse events. But still, I want that the container at depth 6 can receive mouse events

Here is what I want:
1) a sprite with a rollover/out tween, going from alpha 0 to 1 on rollover, and back to 0 on rollout (let's call it "containerSprite"). That part is cake.
2) another sprite within the container (let's call it "closeButton"), that goes along for the ride (i.e., its alpha gets tweened along with the container). That's easy enough to do by making it a child of "container". When I say it is "within" the container I mean in terms of x/y.
3) when I move the mouse within containerSprite and onto closeButton, I want the container to stay visible (easy enough by setting mouseEnabled or mouseChildren to false). But I want closeButton to respond to mouseDown events, so I can't set it to mouseEnabled=false, nor can I set containerSprite.mouseChildren=false.
4) there will be several other sprites within the x/y of containerSprite, each with their own rollover/out tween. The catch is, when the mouse is within containerSprite and rolls onto one of them, the alpha of containerSprite SHOULD tween out (unlike when rolling onto closeButton).
For the life of me, I cannot get it all to work. I can get the desired behaviour in (4) easily enough, either by making the other sprites (mouseEnabled) children of containerSprite, or by making them siblings of containerSprite but higher in the display list. But the desired behaviour in (2) and (3) is vexing me: if closeButton is a child of containerSprite then its alpha tweens along with containerSprite (desired), but because it must be mouseEnabled, moving the cursor onto it triggers containerSprite's rollout event (undesired). If instead it is a higher sibling of containerSprite rather than a child, it has the same problem: if it is mouseEnabled, moving onto it counts as a rollOut event for the container. It seems like the solution ought to be easy, and I'm just missing something that is in plain sight.

Extremely simple timeline. Simply want to fade one image to another.Created a keyframeadded a bitmap, converted it to a symbol, set the alpha of 1st frame to 100%, 2nd frame to 0% & tweened.Image fades to white -perfect.Create a new keyframe, set the alpha to 100%, try to swap the symbol to another bitmap I'd converted to a symbol.Doesn't work.Inspector always says "instance of symbol 1". Cannot use any other symbols except for this one?

I know nothing about Flash Professional, but a friend has given me a .swf that supposedly contains some graphics that he wants imported into a Flex program - which I know a fair bit about.I have the .swf, but I have no idea what to put for "symbol". My friend doesn't seem to know what I'm talking about. How can I determine the symbol name to put in the 2nd parameter of the embed?[Embed(source='SomeSwf.swf', symbol='WhatGoesHere??')]Is there some way to browse the .swf, or some way to just import the whole thing and step through the symbols in actionscript?
