Disabler

Hi… this a disabler for movieclips.

umm… ok.:look:

More info and an fla would be nice. :slight_smile:

Doesn’t work for me in firefox.

Does it simply set enabled to false for a few seconds?

[ot] defective stop following me and i’ll stop following you okay? :P[/ot]

Lunatic:
it’s a small movieclip with a function to make it huge…
sorry i didn’t uploaded the fla…
here it goes.

um, i guess I still don’t understand the purpose? in the swf it looks like all it did was grey it out and make it unpressable for a few seconds, then came back?

Yup that’s it.

Its pointless

C’mon Seb, be nice. If you have nothing constructive to say then don’t say anything at all.

@ MaIQ - I haven’t looked at your code but I know that disabling a movieclip is a pretty simple operation: myClip.enabled = false; :slight_smile:

Sorry, Im really really misrable today, and probely will for the rest of the week, but ill try and keep my head up :slight_smile:

Lol.

Right, but I think the solution he’s working on here is disabling all but one, which is a bit more complex. This isn’t highly complex, but it’s not useless either.

I think you have the right idea, you just need to structure it a bit better, make it more intuitive to the user. And explain why you would want to use it. Are you usinig Flash mx 2004 or Higher? Are you comfortable turning this into a class?

Take Care.

such kind of disabling is generally required when we have a modal dialog box open.
For those who don’t know what “modal” dialog box is -
modal dialog box when open no other activity other than the one in dialog box can be done.
i.e when you save some file a dialog box asking for the save location comes up. here you cannot do anything with the file except clicking buttons (obviously to save or cancel) on the dialog box.

so such enabling/disabling all thing in flash can be achieved by putting some button of size of entire movie and making it enabled=true/false to achieve modal functionality.

or you put all your movieclips into an array and then use a for loop to go through the array and disable everything.
