@Alexander,


trace(this.name, event.target.name);

you will notice that this refers to root1 and event.target to the sprite

[Flashcoders] AS3: Custom button with text label not working perfectly

[Alexander Farber]

Dear flash coders,

I'm struggling since a week already with
several elements in my application not
acting as I want them to do. And they
all could be reduced to a rectangle button
which has a TextField on top of it and
which should lighten up on a mouse over
and scale down on a mouse down event.

I have prepared a very simple test code
which demonstrates my problem:
   http://pastebin.com/m848fe2d
(also pasted it at the bottom of this mail).

You can see the problem if you left-click
on my button and then move the pointer
away without releasing it and then release:

private function handleMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
//if (this != event.target)
//return;
scaleX = scaleY = old_scale;
rect.filters = SHADOW;
}

The TextField will receive the mouse out
event and make my button to pop up to
early (i.e. the mouse pointer is still inside
my button, but it is already in up state).

And if I remove the 2 comments above
then the scale of the button will get wrong,
because it will be set in mouse over event
and my button will get smaller and smaller

Thank you for any hints
Alex

PS: here is my test code:

package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.filters.*;

public class MyButton extends Sprite {
private static constSHADOW:Array = [ new DropShadowFilter(8,
80, 0x00, 0.4, 32, 32, 1, 1, false, false, false) ];
private static constGLOW:Array = [ new GlowFilter(0xFF,
0.5, 36, 36, 1, 1, false, false) ];

private var rect:Shape;
private var old_scale:Number;

public function MyButton() {
rect = new Shape();
rect.graphics.beginFill(0x00FF00);
rect.graphics.drawRect(-100, -100, 200, 200);
rect.graphics.endFill();
rect.filters = SHADOW;
addChild(rect);

var label:TextField = new TextField();
label.width = 100;
label.height = 50;
label.selectable = false;
label.border = true;
label.text = 'MyButton';
label.x = -label.textWidth/2;
label.y = -label.textHeight/2;
addChild(label);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, 
handleMouseOver);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, handleMouseOut);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, 
handleMouseDown);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, handleMouseUp);
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleMouseClick);
}

private function handleMouseOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
old_scale = scaleX;
rect.filters = GLOW;
}

private function handleMouseOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
//if (this != event.target)
//return;
scaleX = scaleY = old_scale;
rect.filters = SHADOW;
}

private function handleMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
old_scale = scaleX;
scaleX *= 0.95;
scaleY *= 0.95;
rect.filters = null;
}

private function handleMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
scaleX = scaleY = old_scale;
rect.filters = GLOW;
}

private function handleMouseClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace('MyButton clicked');
}
}
}

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] [flash textfield] lose formatting

I have already posted that here but, I think this (a single class that 
is extending TextField) can help you as it is a kind of things Ive 
already done (and I was bored to struggle with textfield, textformat, 
style, etc).

I've extracted a text tool from my framework: SomaText.

It allows you to easily create TextField and apply styles from a 
stylesheet, you can set a lot TextField and TextFormat properties 
straight from the stylesheet if you wish. It is a single class that is 
extending the TextField built-in one, very easy to use.

Quick intro:
http://www.soundstep.com/blog/2009/01/07/somatext-standalone/

Source:
http://www.soundstep.com/blog/downloads/somatext/

List of properties you can use in the stylesheet:
http://www.soundstep.com/somaprotest/www/#/stylesheet/css-properties/

And for the curious, SomaText is part of Soma (MVC Framework):

Hope it helps.
