Why is there an enabled property for SimpleButton if it doesn't really work as advertised? Can anyone clarify this? Is there some situation where one can/should use the enabled property?
.enabled on AS3 isn't the same as .enabled it was on AS2 (.mouseEnabled is). Basically, .enabled turns on or off the state animation change, and tab ordering. From the help,
"A Boolean value that indicates whether a movie clip is enabled. The default value of enabled is true. If enabled is set to false, the movie clip's Over, Down, and Up frames are disabled. The movie clip continues to receive events (for example, mouseDown, mouseUp, keyDown, and keyUp).
The enabled property governs only the button-like properties of a movie clip. You can change the enabled property at any time; the modified movie clip is immediately enabled or disabled. If enabled is set to false, the object is not included in automatic tab ordering."
Use mouseEnabled instead. You might also have to look into mouseChildren if ... /things/... aren't going as expected.
Also, you don't need SimpleButton. You can still use old movieclips/sprites as buttons. Just set its .buttonMode to true to enable the hand cursor.
Basically things a lot more powerful now and a lot more complicated too. Zeh _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
