RE: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks
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
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 - Original Message - From: Steven Sacks | BLITZ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Flashcoders mailing list flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 3:47 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks Hey everyone, 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.

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

RE: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks
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; Joey Rivera -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 9:16 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks I see it in IE all the time.

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

Re: [Flashcoders] Old Flash Problem - Clips stop receiving clicks
I have seen this happen when you use dynamic text on the button rather than static text.
