Re: [Flashcoders] Drag and drop in AS3
When you recieve an event the difference between event.currentTarget and
event.target could be of much help. I can never remember which is which but
check the language reference. But nothing like disabling the childrens mouse
events with mouseChildren = false;

Susan,
Try...

Re: [Flashcoders] Drag and drop in AS3
I find that sometimes if the font for the dynamic text isnt embedded
it can cause weird mouseover issues, where the mouse is affected by
the dynamic text, even if I set mouseChildren and mouseEnabled to
false.

Re: [Flashcoders] Drag and drop in AS3
Hi,
Try something like the following - choose one or the other depending
on your implementation...
//loop...
aButtons[i].mouseChildren = false;
//or
aButtons[i].text.mouseEnabled = false;

[Flashcoders] Drag and drop in AS3
Hi there,
I am programming a drag and drop using a instance array. The problem I
am having is that the instances have dynamic text within them. I am
trying to track what symbol the user clicked so that I can drag that
instance. Well... sometimes, the program registers the button name, and
sometimes it registers the text within the button. Is there a clean way
to prevent this from happening?
Any help you can provide is appreciated!
Thanks!
