RE: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks

2006-11-29 Thread Danny Kodicek
  There's an old problem with Flash that pops up every so often 
 and I've never been able to determine what causes it or how 
 to solve it.
 Sometimes certain clips/buttons stop receiving clicks unless 
 you move the mouse between clicks.  Does anyone know how or 
 why this happens and how to get around it (hopefully not 
 involving hitTest)?

Do you use Safari? I believe there's a known bug with Safari that has this
effect. IIRC it's been fixed in the latest release. (I may be making all
this up...)

I've seen this happen before when using the MM Combo Box component and
changing it's state in code. We fixed the issue by setting focus on
any other button or movieclip on the next line after the Combo Box
action.

Re: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks

2006-11-29 Thread Muzak
This is a known problem with the v2 components FocusManager class 'stealing 
focus'.
There's an easy fix:

function onMouseDown() {
 this.focusManager.enabled = false;
}
function onMouseUp() {
 this.focusManager.enabled = true;
}

Note that 'focusManager' is a (hidden/invisible/unremovable) movieclip instance 
in the main timeline created as soon as you use a v2 
component.

regards,
Muzak

I see it in IE all the time.  If you ever look at MSNBC.com's image
galleries, the Flash buttons do this quite often, even with Flash 9.  I
have never found a workaround.  It's an extremely annoying bug.  I've
tried some of Grant Skinner's suggestions from his blog with limited
success.

2006-11-29 Thread Joey Rivera

We had that same issue with our system and I can't remember exactly what we
did to fix it but it doesn't happen to us anymore.  If I remember correctly
it had something to do with focus issues.  Try one or both of the below and
see if that works:

// think this might have been the problem
_root.focusManager.enabled = false;

// or maybe this, we handle our own tabbing functionality
MovieClip.prototype.tabEnabled = false;
Button.prototype.tabEnabled = false;
TextField.prototype.tabEnabled = false;

Haha!  I solved it sort of kind of.  If I go to a different application
and come back no more problem.

Looks like general Flash wonkiness and who knows why.  Still interested

I have seen this happen when you use dynamic text on the button  
rather than static text.
