Yes, I can find nothing in as3 docs about support for that shortcut (_up,_over,
_down frame labels). The buttonMode=true only affects the cursor - changes it
from pointer to hand.
afaik, you need to set functions for each event - possible mouse events include:
CLICK
DOUBLE_CLICK
MOUSE_DOWN
MOUSE_MOVE
MOUSE_OUT
MOUSE_OVER
MOUSE_UP
MOUSE_WHEEL
ROLL_OUT
ROLL_OVER
So I think you need to do this:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction);
my_btn.buttonMode = true;
function myFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOverFunction);
function myOverFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOutFunction);
function myOutFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
I'd love to learn otherwise, though. Of course, using the simple button
component avoids this, maybe you could just skin it to your liking? All of the
button states are separate editable mc's in the library.
