Walk the parent chain and see if a parent is disabled. Disabled containers put a dull filter on their children.

I have HBox containing some buttons that appear to be disabled when the application starts up. I say appear because if I inspect them their enabled property is true. Yet, they are "greyed" out and unclickable. The HBox is defined as a child under WindowedApplication. I can't find way to make them usable. I must be missing something obvious. <mx:WindowedApplication .... <mx:menu> <mx:FlexNativeMenu id="appMenu" dataProvider="{tMenu}" labelField="@label" showRoot="false"/> </mx:menu> <mx:HBox width="100%"> <mx:Button id="upload" label="Upload" click="onSelect(event);"/> <mx:Button id="edit" label="Edit" click="onSelect(event);"/> <mx:Spacer width="100%"/> <mx:Label id="connection" text="No Connection"/> </mx:HBox> <mx:ViewStack id="main" selectedIndex="0" creationPolicy="all" width="100%" height="100%"> <console:Upload id="uploader" width="100%" height="100%"/> <console:TemplateEditor id="editor" width="100%" height="100%"/> </mx:ViewStack> </mx:WindowedApplication>
