Good catch Mike... I was thinking "backgroundAlpha", which is a style on Container and its derived children, instead of the "alpha" propertry. Although it is not a style on UIComponent, it is more or less the same concept. Thanks for pointing that out.

Since alpha is a property, this just seems to use more overhead by calling two methods instead of one. Since all UIComponent implement IUIComponent that extends IFlexDisplayObject that declares alpha, you even have a straight forward interface into the component. IUIComponent(myComponent).alpha = 0.5; Just curoius, Peace, Mike On 11/30/06, Sam Shrefler <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Andy: Thank you very much!!!

The previous example would be used inside of the component that is being enabled/disabled. To do this outside of a component, you need to do it in actionscript: myComponent.enabled=fase; myComponent.setStyle("alpha", .5); _____________________________________ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com <http://www.cynergysystems.com> Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice <http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice> Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Office: 866-CYNERGY ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ups.com <http://ups.com> ] On Behalf Of Andrew Trice Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 4:19 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Change alpha properties when setting enabled property override public fuction set enabled(value:Boolean) : void { super.enabled = value; this.setStyle("alpha", ( value ? 1 : .5)); } Enjoy! -Andy _____________________________________ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com <http://www.cynergysystems.com> Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice <http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice> Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Office: 866-CYNERGY ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com <http://ups.com> ] On Behalf Of Sam Shrefler Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 3:52 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Change alpha properties when setting enabled property Could someone tell me how to modify the alpha settings when setting a component to enabled="false"?
