Re: [Flashcoders] Custom buttons - radio style
Thanks for your response Ashim,I will try to place the movieclip buttons into a
new unique MovieClip, and then link that mc to a new custom RadioGroup class.
We'll see where that leads me and I'll report back with my findings (or lack
of).Any other ideas out there?thanks again Jim--original
message-Ashim wroteI'd say you need to wrap the system in a
RadioControl class of some sort.This is a group class and knows of all the
radio buttons that are affectedas part of this group. That was you can have a
second group if you need it.This class can have a currentSelection variable
which stores whatever isclicked. Right before you change its value though, you
first reset itscontentsEg:private function onClick(e:MouseEvent):void{if
(currentSelection){currentSelection.mouseEnabled =
true;currentSelection.goToAndStop("up");}currentSelection =
e.currentTarget;currentSelection.goToAndStop("down");currentSelection.mouseEnabled
= false;}I'm not entirely sure how you can connect things from the Flash
library. I'dgenerate the buttons from the group class.However you could put all
the buttons into a movieclip and type as the groupclass. I guess you can then
run through the names and assign listeners. THatmay not be the best
though.Ashim2008/12/23 jim skolmoski >> Listers,As an

[Flashcoders] Custom buttons - radio style
Listers,As an experienced AS2 coder, and a very new AS3 coder, I'm having trouble writing some classes.Since I work with a few Flash designers, I'm hoping that I can create some classes that would automatically add functionality to interactive programs that they are designing.The current project's design calls for a left nav with custom buttons. Each of these buttons (movieclips) have UP, OVER, and DOWN states (as labels). As a button is selected by the user, that button will remain in DOWN state and lose its functionality (via several removeEventListeners). Then as a different button is selected from the left nav, I would like it to enter a DOWN state, and also trigger an event that would make the initial button move to its UP state and gain functionality once again.I have a MainNav class that provides all the functionality for the buttons. My designers would simply name the stage instance to "MainNav1_MainLabel1" and link the button movieclips to my class.
