Public Constants
Property Detail
autoRepeat | property |
autoRepeat:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the buttonDown event
is dispatched more than one time when the user holds the mouse button down over the component.
A value of true indicates that the buttonDown event
is dispatched repeatedly while the mouse button remains down; a value of false
indicates that the event is dispatched only one time.
If this value is true, after the delay specified by the
repeatDelay style, the buttonDown
event is dispatched at the interval that is specified by the repeatInterval style.
The default value is false.
Implementation
public function get autoRepeat():Boolean public function set autoRepeat(value:Boolean):voidRelated API Elements
Example ( How to use this example )
The following example demonstrates how to use the
autoRepeat
property to repeatedly dispatch buttonDown events as long as
a button is pressed:
import fl.controls.Button;
import fl.controls.Label;
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;
var myLabel:Label = new Label();
myLabel.text = "0";
myLabel.move(10, 10);
addChild(myLabel);
var downButton:Button = new Button();
downButton.label = "-";
downButton.autoRepeat = true;
downButton.setSize(20, 20);
downButton.move(10, 30);
downButton.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, buttonDownHandler);
addChild(downButton)
var upButton:Button = new Button();
upButton.label = "+";
upButton.autoRepeat = true;
upButton.setSize(20, 20);
upButton.move(40, 30);
upButton.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, buttonDownHandler);
addChild(upButton);
function buttonDownHandler(event:ComponentEvent):void {
var value:Number = Number(myLabel.text);
switch (event.currentTarget) {
case downButton:
value--;
break;
case upButton:
value++;
break;
}
myLabel.text = value.toString();
}
enabled | property |
enabled:Boolean[override] | Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the component can accept user
input. A value of true indicates that the component can accept
user input; a value of false indicates that it cannot.
When this property is set to false, the button is disabled.
This means that although it is visible, it cannot be clicked. This property is
useful for disabling a specific part of the user interface. For example, a button
that is used to trigger the reloading of a web page could be disabled
by using this technique.
The default value is true.

Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether a toggle button
is selected. A value of true indicates that the button is
selected; a value of false indicates that it is not.
This property has no effect if the toggle property
is not set to true.
For a CheckBox component, this value indicates whether the box is checked. For a RadioButton component, this value indicates whether the component is selected.
This value changes when the user clicks the component
but can also be changed programmatically. If the toggle
property is set to true, changing this property causes
a change event object to be dispatched.
The default value is false.

Example ( How to use this example )
The following example demonstrates how you can create a toggle
button using the
toggle property and listening for the change
event to determine when a button is selected:
import fl.controls.Button;
var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.toggle = true;
myButton.move(10, 10);
myButton.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
addChild(myButton);
function changeHandler(event:Event):void {
trace("Button toggled (selected:" + event.currentTarget.selected + ")");
}

BaseButton | () | Constructor |
public function BaseButton()| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |

Creates a new BaseButton instance.

public static function getStyleDefinition():Object| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Retrieves the default style map for the current component. The style map contains
the type that is appropriate for the component, depending on the style that
the component uses. For example, the disabledTextFormat style
contains a value of null or a TextFormat object.
You can use these styles and call setStyle() on the current
component. The following code overrides the default disabledTextFormat
style on the specified component:
componentInstance.setStyle("disabledTextFormat", new TextFormat());Object — Default styles object.

public function setMouseState(state:String):void| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |

Set the mouse state via ActionScript. The BaseButton class uses this property internally, but it can also be invoked manually, and will set the mouse state visually.
Parameters
state:String — A string that specifies a mouse state. Supported values are
"up", "over", and "down".

Dispatched when the user presses the Button component.
If the autoRepeat property is true,
this event is dispatched at specified intervals until the
button is released.
The repeatDelay style is used to
specify the delay before the buttonDown event is
dispatched a second time. The repeatInterval style
specifies the interval at which this event is dispatched thereafter,
until the user releases the button.
type property of a buttonDown
event object.
This event has the following properties:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
bubbles | false |
cancelable | false; there is no default
behavior to cancel. |
currentTarget | The object that is actively processing the event object with an event listener. |
target | The object that dispatched the event. The target is
not always the object listening for the event. Use the currentTarget
property to access the object that is listening for the event. |
Example ( How to use this example )
The following example demonstrates how to use the
autoRepeat
property to repeatedly dispatch buttonDown events as long as
a button is pressed:
import fl.controls.Button;
import fl.controls.Label;
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;
var myLabel:Label = new Label();
myLabel.text = "0";
myLabel.move(10, 10);
addChild(myLabel);
var downButton:Button = new Button();
downButton.label = "-";
downButton.autoRepeat = true;
downButton.setSize(20, 20);
downButton.move(10, 30);
downButton.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, buttonDownHandler);
addChild(downButton)
var upButton:Button = new Button();
upButton.label = "+";
upButton.autoRepeat = true;
upButton.setSize(20, 20);
upButton.move(40, 30);
upButton.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, buttonDownHandler);
addChild(upButton);
function buttonDownHandler(event:ComponentEvent):void {
var value:Number = Number(myLabel.text);
switch (event.currentTarget) {
case downButton:
value--;
break;
case upButton:
value++;
break;
}
myLabel.text = value.toString();
}

flash.events.Event.CHANGE| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Product Version: | Flash CS3 |
| Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0 |
Dispatched when the value of the selected property
of a toggle Button component changes. A toggle Button component is a
Button component whose toggle property is set to true.
The CheckBox and RadioButton components dispatch this event after
there is a change in the selected property.
Event.CHANGE constant defines the value of the type property of a change event object.
This event has the following properties:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
bubbles | true |
cancelable | false; there is no default behavior to cancel. |
currentTarget | The object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener. |
target | The object that has had its value modified.
The target is not always the object in the display list
that registered the event listener. Use the currentTarget
property to access the object in the display list that is currently processing the event. |
Example ( How to use this example )
The following example demonstrates how you can create a toggle
button using the
toggle property and listening for the change
event to determine when a button is selected:
import fl.controls.Button;
var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.toggle = true;
myButton.move(10, 10);
myButton.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
addChild(myButton);
function changeHandler(event:Event):void {
trace("Button toggled (selected:" + event.currentTarget.selected + ")");
