Well, the easiest way to shut off all hotspots (and it's kind of a hack,
but a pretty useful one) is to throw a big, invisible button with
property useHandCursor set to false over everything.
That won't work for motion, though. For motion the most elegant solution
is probably to use a singleton EventDispatcher to control everything:
// MotionDispatcher class
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
[Event("start")]
[Event("stop")]
function mypackage.MotionController extends EventDispatcher {
private function MotionDispatcher() {
super();
}
public static function get instance():MotionController {
if (_instance == undefined) {
_instance = new MotionController();
}
return _instance;
}
public function get stopped():Boolean {
return _stopped;
}
public function set stopped(value:Boolean):Void {
if (_stopped != Boolean(value)) {
_stopped = Boolean(value);
dispatchEvent({type: _stopped ? "stop" :
"start", target: this});
}
}
private static var _instance:MotionController;
private var _stopped:Boolean = false;
}
// In a motion-controlled movieclip with a timeline animation:
import mx.utils.Delegate;
MotionController.instance.addEventListener("start",
Delegate.create(this, play));
MotionController.instance.addEventListener("stop", Delegate.create(this,
stop));
// To stop all controlled animations:
MotionController.instance.stopped = true;
// To restart all controlled animations:
MotionController.instance.stopped = false;
