Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip for disabled buttons: Ideas?
Thanks Andy and Hans for sharing your solutions. I like both of them and will implement one of them...not sure yet which one, though. stefan.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip for disabled buttons: Ideas?
I have a third suggestion. You don't need to set the button enabled=false, instead you create your own parameter of tracking the status. when the button is disabled, just set the useHandCursor to false. onRollOver if(btnEnabled) showRollOverEffect else showToolTip onRelease if(btnEnabled) doReleaseFunction else doNothing On 1/30/07, Stefan Thurnherr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Andy and Hans for sharing your solutions.

[Flashcoders] Tooltip for disabled buttons: Ideas?
Hello flashcoders, How did/would you implement showing a tooltip over a disabled button? The onRollOver/onRollOut events seem not to fire when a button is disabled. I see two solutions right now: 1. Add an onMouseMove listener (within MyButton extends Button) and check whether _xmouse/_ymouse coincide with MyButton's area (x+width/y+height). 2.

Re: [Flashcoders] Tooltip for disabled buttons: Ideas?
For the disabled state for our buttons we actually use a different movie clip. Basically, each button consists of a Button object and a Movie Clip with the image used for the disabled state. When the button is disabled we hide the Button and show the MC, and when it's enabled we do the opposite. Both the MC and the Button have the handlers for the tooltip. -Andy On 1/26/07, Stefan Thurnherr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello flashcoders, How did/would you implement showing a tooltip over a disabled button?
