Actionscript 3 :: Setting A SkinState Of A Button?
Dec 17, 2011
I want to set (manually) the skinState (for example 'disabled') of a button (that I skinned) in ActionScript.
For example: I have a button skin with hostComponent: components.backend.btnMenuBakComp The button skin has the default button states (up, over, down, ...), but I want to set one of this skinStates in ActionScript.
For example:
subMenu.btnDashboard.currentState = "disabled";
This doesn't work because the state "disabled" is not known in the component (it is only known in the skinState of btnDashboard).
Is there another solution then load a new skinClass?

I know how to set the style for a radio button in AS3, but is it possible to apply a text format style to a radio button group, rather than each individual button?

I have 4 buttons, all of them have the same width.
<s:Button id="btn1" width="{btnWidth}" />
<s:Button id="btn2" width="{btnWidth}" />
<s:Button id="btn3" width="{btnWidth}" />
<s:Button id="btn4" width="{btnWidth}" />
Is it possible to set their width with Style, something like this: I tried it, but auto-complete isn't working, which leads me to think that there's something wrong with the syntax. Basically my goal is to not have the width property set specifically for all 4.

I am placing several AS3 buttons (actual buttons not event-laden MCs)on a Flash stage and want my enlarged rollover images to always come to the front of all other dormant buttons.My script-fu is weak,but piecing together the advice from several helpful posts I have generally learned how to set the childindex on a rollover event to be high enough to go to the fore.I plugged in the appropriate language in my action frame and was psyched to see that the coding worked...but only briefly.After just a few clicks (it seems that whenever a button is hit for the second time), not only did the childindex trick stop working, but the buttons (which act to send the user to labeled frames later in the time-line) stopped working altogether.It seems that the issue is definitely related to the setting of the childindex, because when I remove those event listeners/commands,the buttons all work fine for an infinite number of clicks (but the enlarged rollover images are stacked in one static sequence, blocking each other out).Is there something inherently incorrect about this approach?Something simple that I am overlooking? Some way to reset the process on each click so it does not get gummed up (I tried re-setting childindex #s to 0 on rollout or on click, but it did not help)?
I have had it suggested that rearranging the order is destroying ability to recognize mouse events...but not sure if this is correct, what it would mean.The code that I am using for each button (for setting the depth and for redirecting on click) is below,

I am building a flash app that will asks the client to access their web camera. Users on Windows (Firefox, Safari, Chrome browsers) are able to click the allow button. However, users on Linux/Mac (Firefox, Safari, Chrome) either need to click several times until they can click allow, or they can't click at all. [URL]

I attempted to build a Flex 4 skin for a Spark button, typical practice. I adjusted the colors and other styles to my liking, including using dot selectors to specify alternate colors and such during different states. However, these are all ignored when the button is disabled. Regardless of what I do, in the disabled state, my button always has the wrong color and is alpha'd to 0.5 (even if I specifically state that alpha.disabled="1"). All the other skin states work as expected. This is my custom skin. If it were working correctly, it would appear to have no shadow or highlight, and would be a gradient grey color. Instead, it appears as a 50% alpha version of the up state (shiny green).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:SparkButtonSkin xmlns:fx="[URL]"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:fb="[URL]"
minWidth="21" minHeight="21" alpha.disabled="1">
[Code] .....
This is the code used to create and then disable the button:
_action1Button = new Action1Button();
view.actionGroup.addElement(_action1Button);
_action1Button.enabled = false;
The error was that _action1Button is not the actual button, rather, it's the container of the button. Doh! Switching it to _action1Button.actionButton.enabled = false; fixed the issue.

Is there a way to set the tab index on a button loaded (addChild method) from the library? Granted, you can easily add the tab index to the same button if it's on the stage, but I see no way to add it to the button if it's just chilling in the library..

I seem to be having a recurring problem attaching events to a button i have created within 2 other movieclips.I get the following error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.So it looks like it can't find the button, in order to attach the event listener. The question is why? I am attaching a similar event to a button on the main timeline and that works fine. So it looks like a scope issue, but I am referring to it properly.

I've gotten code that would circle through this with menu without an array, but I have been looking trying to complete it for the sake of better learning about arrays.
I have 3 buttons and I want to use the up, down, arrow keys to cycle through the buttons. So far I have the code to switch the up state once they are clicked on but I am unsure how to incorporate the navigational aspect into the array and have it cycle through.
Below I have posted my file with actionscript. Here is the actionscript set up right now:
[AS]btn1.gotoAndStop(1);
btn2.gotoAndStop(1);
btn3.gotoAndStop(1);

I don't have to concern myself with the Cold Fusion end of things, our CF developer(s)will handle that... I've made some Flash navigational buttons that are to be used on the front end of a very robust Cold Fusion web application. I cannot hard code the buttons using the getUrl action because the Url will be changing dynamically. I need to know how to set the variable of a button, so that Cold Fusion can pass it a value for the URL on the fly.

I'm making an application that uses a branching tree type structure, and need to get the buttons to refer to and be able to manipulate individual XML nodes. I tried putting a button reference directly in the XML and setting the reference to that node with the event data, but it didn't work, because the XML didn't recognize the event.currentTarget as an actual button, so couldn't find the node that contained the click target. I assume there is a standard way to do this, since it's so common. Just for clarity, the tree will basically look like this:
PrimaryNode1
Subnode1
Subnode1a
[code]....
I need to be able to keep track of which subnode goes where for determining other data as well as graphically positioning the node and subnode data); PrimaryNode2 etc., with add and expand buttons. I can't set static references, since all of the nodes are added through the program depending on if they're needed. I tried doing this with multidimensional arrays, but since I want each level to be theoretically (but not practically) infinite with infinite subnodes, checking through the arrays got kind of messy. I just figured there has to be a standard way to set this up, since it's so common.

I want to create a flash site where I have a long horizontal movie clip split into about five sections, each about 960px wide. The effect I want to achieve is when the user clicks on the button it will scroll horizontally to the specific section of the flash project. For example, if your on the home page and you click on the contact the movieclip will tween to the right until it reached the contact section of the long movieclip. And I also want it where if the user clicks on the home it'll scroll back to the home page. I can't seem to accomplish. I tried positioning with the x property and move right so many pixels. I'm thinking about setting like some coordinates or some kinds of reference points so when the button is clicked it will go to those specific points in the stage.

I'm making a trivia in an Air application, a question, three buttons, after you choose one, the right button gets coloured green, the wrong ones get coloured red. I was trying to do this changing the styles, so I created a Button.Right and a Button.Wrong style, but I also need to disable the buttons so they don't get clicked more than once while I'm showing the correct answers.
So I'm having trouble making it so the buttons don't look greyish and with the alpha turned down when I set their enabled property to false. I'm trying to be as minimalistic as possible here, changing disabled-overlay-alpha or disabledOverlayAlpha in the css file doesn't seem to do the trick, neither does changing disabledBorderColor

I am just about to pull my hair out - please help as I don't have that much hair to pull out. I created a flash file in Flash CS3 and was told I need to add a click tag for an agency who want to keep track of the click throughs for the ad.
I have created the invisible button layer and set up the 'hit' and tried and tried and tried to select the button and add some action script to it. (which I have seen three different codes to use)
Each time I export it or publish it I get the error message: mouse events are permitted only for button insances on release. I have read and understand I need to assign the code to the button and not the frame but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do that.
I select the button (which I have converted to a 'button') and F9 or left click to get the Actions panel and once I am there and try to use the '+' to add code, it automatically shows 'Current Select/Frame 1 in the left side of the Actions panel. I get that it is adding the code to the frame but how do I get it to add the code to the button???
