Actionscript 3 :: Changing SimpleButton.y Does Not Appear To Move The HitArea Of The Button
Feb 9, 2010
It transpires that there was another Sprite being create and set to alpha=0 which just happend to be at the same Y position as the height of the SimpleButton. This was preventing interaction with the button.
I have a SimpleButton which I am positioning on the stage. I'm doing a variety of things with it buy when I set it's Y position it breaks/alters the hitArea.
var playUp:Bitmap = getBitmap('play_up');
var playDown:Bitmap = getBitmap('play_down');
var Y:Number = 100;

I am embedding swf files into flex and no matter what button I use, mine or one of the library swf's that comes with Flash, the hitarea shifts upwards to the top 10 pixels of the button and up from there outside the button area.

Got this weird issue going on today. The hitarea, the 'interactive space' of some of my buttons is off/ distorted. I created several buttons in a class with the pen tool and converted them to Buttons. I added some eventlisteners, but when I tested my Movie, I noticed the interactive space of some buttons was gone or at a different position or not the size I made it.
I made another button using the rectangle tool, and tested again. I noticed the visual button was at the place I put it, but the 'interactive space' was at the bottom right. Whenever I would move over this interactive space with my cursor, the visual button would instantly go to the place the interactive space is. Whenever I move the mouse out of the interactive space, the visual button goes back to its inital place.
Check it: (press start, 2 times the right arrow, then the window, then go to one of the buildings in the landscape and click on it)[URL].. Here you see two rectangle shape buttons. Hover over them, no interactivity. Move the mouse somewhat down to the right, and weirdness happens.

I created a button (button symbol), inside this button symbol there is a vector shape which will change colours in mouse over and a dynamic text field. i want to use this button symbol in more than one locations in my stage. so i need to change the label of these instances (by changing dynamic text ). but i can't access the dynamic text in as3 using following code,
btnsample.txtbtnlabel.text = "button label"
this code is working fine for a movie clip symbol but not for a button symbol.

I'm trying to move a movieclip on each ENTER_FRAME by changing the x-value and it seems like x-values below 1 isn't accepted. Am I doing something wrong or is that simply the way it is? Because if it is, is there any work-around to make the clips move slower than += 1 without changing the frame rate or using a Timer?

If I create a Movie Clip and assign a child Movie Clip as the hit area using this.hitArea = this.mcClipName; is there a way for me to disable that hit area? For instance, mcButton is a button. When I click mcButton, it triggers a function that reveals other content in my movie. I don't want them to be able to click that button again unless they close the new content (using another button that appears with the new content).

is there a way to assign a dynamically created movie clip the hitarea of a PNG file that is loaded into it via actionscript, basically creating a none square/circle hitarea that is a mask of the bitmap image.

I am trying to set up a cicular movieClip as a hitArea for another, but the circular shape is not detected rather the bounding box of the movieClip. is there any way around it? am i doing something wrong?
Code:
TurretRange_mc.hitArea = TurretActive_mc.TurretHitArea;
TurretRange_mc.hitArea (TurretActive_mc.TurretHitArea);
so far i've tried these two methods.

RadioButton Component
I want to remove the so called "HitBox/HitArea" on the RadioButton component - I don't want the user to be able to click anywhere else except the button - and I don't want to just resize the hit area so it's as big as the button (the hit area is a square, and my button is a circle)... can this be done? or does the button absolutely depend on hit area? Part of my reason for asking this, is when I publish my .swf with the radiobutton - the hitarea is displaying as a big white rectangle that is covering the button and part of the text up... why is this?

How to programmatically enlarge a flex 3 button's hitArea. Is there some function that I can override? There is no function in the button class called hitArea. What I have done is, I have created a programmaticskin for a button. The form of the skin consists out four arrows. In between the arrows there is nothing (meaning transparent). Because of the way the skin is shaped, it's difficult to click on the button. The skin has alter the buttons hitArea. What I'm looking for is a way to enlarge the hitArea and alter the hitArea shape in to an square. (the hit area must ofcourse still be invisible).

I have a grid of many 10x10 pixel squares separated only by a pixel line. When the user rolls over the sprite, it grows, animating to about 4 times its size--to around 40x40 pixels. The sprite stays large while the mouse is over the sprite, but if the user wants to rollover the neighboring sprite it is obscured by this sprite and its larger size.
Is it possible to shrink the size of the hit area so that even though the sprite grows in size the mouse can still access or trigger the neighboring sprites underneath--to the right, left, top, bottom? I thought about using Mouse_move, but wasn't sure if that would fire off too many events.
I read the following posts. However, my hitArea needs to be the same size or just slightly larger than the original 10x10 pixel sprite. I've had little success. [code]...

I am trying to customise a listbox component so that when the user clicks on one of the items a movie clip containing 3 buttons appears. My problem is that as I have make the buttons appear whern the item in the listbox is clicked, they are attached to the movie clip and so dont work.I think that one way around this would be to define a seperate hitArea for the listbox item so that this does not interfere with the buttons when they appear

Is it possible? What I'm trying to do is enlarge the hitArea for a selected movieclip on my stage, but only onRollover. I have 5 MCs on my stage acting as buttons of sorts. onRollover of any of the clips, they grow in scale and I'd like the hitArea to do the same so they (MC and hitArea) are proportional.

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 copied this from some other forum because it's explain well "...Let�s say you are loading in an external asset that has an alpha channel, such as a PNG. Now let�s say that you want that asset to act like a button, with rollover and click actions. No problem. No reason you can't do that. But, actually, there is a problem. The hit area for that external asset will be its entire bounding box. Take this octy image for example: Even if you rolled over the top left of the image where it�s totally transparent, it will still trigger rollover actions, which is certainly not ideal and could potentially be very confusing for a user..."

I'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"
