We’ve come up with a couple of neat ideas for sessions at SXSW, but we need your help getting there. Take a look at the SXSW panel picker and vote for Big Spaceship in ‘08.
I direct linked to the Big Spaceship search to help you find us. (Is that cheating?)
August 8th, 2008 by Jamie / 1 CommentA lot of what we do here at the Spaceship involves complex SWFs loaded in and layered on top of other SWFs. We wind up with a lot of buttons nested underneath of movieclips nested inside of SWFs.
When we got to handling mouse interaction in AS2, this was fine so long as a button wasn’t layered on top of another button. But in AS3 it’s a different ball of wax — each DisplayObject has a mouseEnabled property, which is set to true by default. mouseEnabled means that the DisplayObject in question *can* react to mouse events.
This can be lead to some tricky and irritating issues. Hit the jump for specifically what is happening and how to fix it.
