Can I shrink the textfield down to the width of the text without squeezing it?
Code:
public function Notification(Message:String) {
notificationText.text = Message;
notificationText.mouseEnabled = false;
}}
I'm wondering if you can globally set TLF Text mouseEnabled to false without having to name every text box individually?

View 4 RepliesIf 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 =
[code]....
PHP Code:
container.mouseChildren=false;container.mouseEnabled=false;
to set mouseEnabled=false for each child of container would not help performance right?
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.

made a site with several buttons that load other .swf on level 1 which cover the entire stage, but the buttons that are on level 0 can still be clicked on. Is there anyway to block these buttons while the level 1 .swf is playing
View 1 RepliesI don't know if it's an AS3 thing, or a Flash 10 thing, both of which I don't work in frequently..... (usually, I'm working in Flash 8, and AS2 for most of my projects)
Basically, when I have invisible content over a button in my flash movie, the button no longer works. Like I said, it's something that's never been an issue before.
Where it shows up is when I want to make a piece of content visible over a button when the user mouses over the button, so the piece of content would start over the button with its alpha set to 0. I would typically change the visibility of the object I want to make visible when the button is rolled over. But now when that object is over my button at 0 opacity, the button no longer works....and again, I've never had this be an issue before.
I would like to block mouse overs/buttons beneath a movieclip that has played. This should be straightforward by creating a new layer and inserting a string, however, these techniques haven't worked for me and one of my questions here is, "Are these solutions not working because my movieclips play from external swfs in a container?" Either way, I'm up for hearing any solutions you may have and trying them out even if I've tried them before.
Secondly, I would like to create a "back button" which excutes from my movieclip and unloads all movieclips. I need it to return to my main menu. Unfortunately, I've tried buttons which include the command unloadMovieClip and that seems to prevent all movieclips from playing again. This could have something to do with what I mentioned above - all of my movieclips are called from external swfs into a container.
The least important of these (since I need the first two things to work before I do this detail) is... if one of my buttons is pushed starting a movie clip and the user then pushes another button that also starts a movie clip before the first clip has finished playing, How do I interrupt the first movieclip so the second can begin playing? Currently, my movieclips will play through until the end before they will respond to a new clip being loaded.
Im designing a site with accessible controls, and the best way for me to do this is load each external swf into a container movieclip that then has all the controls applied to it.This container movie then also has another layer above with a movieclip on top of that acting as a filter layer to invert the colours. This is controlled by a keyboard press.Now when I run my project with this filter layer movieclip it prevents me from mouse clicking on any of the buttons in the externally loaded swf, without it they work fine.Is there any way that I can get through this movieclip so I can mouse click / rollover those buttons?
View 1 Replieslets just say in simple words that i hve on a layer(lets say LAYER1) a button that on rollover moves an other set of buttons which are on an other layer underneath the first layer(LAYER1).the problem is that i cant use the underneath buttons because the LAYER1 button is blocking their functionality

I have a series of buttons and a text field that follows the cursor, showing you the name of the button you roll over. How do I get the text field to stop interfering with the buttons? You don't get the pointing finger or get a click registered since you're clicking on the text, not the button.
I tried setting the mouseChildren of the text to false, which did nothing. And since it's not part of any button, there's no point in setting the property for each button.
My only option is to have hidden copies of the button floating over the text, but there ought to be a way to have the click pass thru the text and reach the button, yes?
P.S. FWIW, the buttons are actually movie clips with buttonmode = true and useHandCursor = true.
I have a button that I created, but the center of the button has text in it that covers the majority of the button. Both the button and the text were NOT created with actionscript. When I roll the mouse over the button only the edges activate the button. Is there anyway using actionscript that I can still see the text but have the button activate if the mouse is over the center of it?
Edit: The button is an actual button(ie the dropdown says button) not a movieclip.
I know that if I want to disable a button I write:
myBtn.enabled = false;
But if I have a couple of buttons inside a mc and I want to disable all of them without targeting each and everyone of them. How do I code that?
I am wondering how can one stop the user from clicking on a button (MC) without using btn.enabled = false.example: i have a menu that has buttons which have tweens on rollover and onRelease events. I want to be able to click on home for e.g. disabling all other buttons to avoid user clicking but still keep the rollover. I have tried btn.enabled = false and of course i dont want to disable the entire btn and instead i want to disable just the onRelease event or even avoid the mouse from clicking until the animation finish. Only Then, user can click on another menu button.
View 3 RepliesI'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".
How does one go about setting a dynamic text field to false?
View 2 RepliesIm 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.
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?

Am I correct in thinking I have to set mouseEnabled = false for the entire hierarchy of display objects that are above an interactive object, in order for me to be able to successfully interact with it?Diagrammatically, I've had to set all elements with an asterisk to mouseEnabled = false:
Code:
+- DisplayObjectContainer *
| |
[code]......
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
View 1 RepliesSo I made few text fields on the stage and launched the movie.It appears that when I turn on the "Show redraw regions" and try to click on the text field it shows it's redrawed.When is set the mouseEnabled property for this text field to false and try to click on the text field it doesn't show it's being redrawed.
