[fmx2004] disabling movieclips?

[phyzar]

hey guys,

im aware of the movieclipinstancename.enable=false;

but i cant seem to get it to work.

I want it to work because i slide in a sound control panel over my content (also in a movieclip) but the mouse still reacts to mouse events of the content under the sound control panel. - eg i have a flash email form, and the icon changes to it...

Any suggestions?
Many many thanks,
JD

The anbled property is for buttons, not for movieclips. If you want to disable the event handlers, just use dynamic event handlers and then delete them:



yourMC.onRollOver = function(){
trace("rolling over disabled");
delete this.onRollOver
}

enabled will work for movieclips too when concerning button events - just not things like onEnterFrame and whatnot.

deleting would be a good aproach or even just using an if statement along with the enabled setting.


yourMC.onEnterFrame = function(){
// only work if its enabled
if (this.enabled){
// ...
}
}
