For the disabled state for our buttons we actually use a different movie clip.

Basically, each button consists of a Button object and a Movie Clip
with the image used for the disabled state.  When the button is
disabled we hide the Button and show the MC, and when it's enabled we
do the opposite.  Both the MC and the Button have the handlers for the
tooltip.

Hello flashcoders,

How did/would you implement showing a tooltip over a disabled button?
The onRollOver/onRollOut events seem not to fire when a button is
disabled. I see two solutions right now:

1. Add an onMouseMove listener (within MyButton extends Button) and
check whether _xmouse/_ymouse coincide with MyButton's area
(x+width/y+height).

2. Attach an additional MovieClip to every MyButton instance, set its
depth to the top and its _alpha=0, and check for the
onRollOver/onRollOut events on that MovieClip instance.

Any thoughts on which one is better, or any other solutions?

Thanks,
 stefan.
