[Flashcoders] disable mouse on transparent part of alpha video

2009-09-10 Thread Hans Wichman
Hi list,

I need to create a couple of talking persons on a square, using transparent
flv's for that.
But it seems the whole of the video is clickable, even the transparent part
(which is logical), is there any way to disable that?
One other option I have is copying the persons to a bitmap and check the
pixel transparency, but I'm guessing that is going to slow things down:)

thanks
Hans

But if you are only checking transparency on a CLICK event, that is not 
going to happen to often in relation to playing the FLV right?

Hi,
nope thats true, but I'm more concerned about the usability side of things,
I don want to show a cursor when you cant click, so I would have to perform
the check much more often.

regards
Hans

Cover the video with an alpha 0 shape.  Problem solved.

Maybe like Steven said - use a shape over the video and insert 
cue-points for when it might be clickable.  When it's clickable, 
mouseenable the shape?

Hi,
ok that might work, I'll try to mask out the shapes that have to be
clickable.
thanks folks!
