There are a plethora of ways to enable/disable controls. Most controls and forms repond to:
myObject.enabled = false; And visually update to that effect, as well as no longer accepting input, mouse or keyboard. Links respond the same thing: myLink.enabled = false; However, I can't remember if containers automatically turn off all of their children; I know they certainly don't in Flash unless you specificy a click handler on the container. Suffice it to say, it's pretty easy; either: - register for an event, internally, to the component, and when it's enabled state changes, set all children to the enabled property that the container will have - override setEnabled, and call super.setEnabled, and then set all of your children to the state - bind each controls' enabled property to its container As an old skooler, I'd do the override, but binding may work well here. However you desire to disable ALL Links EVERYWHERE is quite confusing; hopefully one of the above solutions should work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dave buhler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 2:14 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Sweeping the Stage in Search of a MovieClip/Component Type I thought it would work to sweep through the Stage and all containers. I could sweep through the registered view, but I have nested views where the links are visible. It's not the views that need to be disabled, it's the link within the view.
