Property Detail

label

property
label:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Gets or sets the text label for the component. By default, the label text appears centered on the button.

Note: Setting this property triggers the labelChange event object to be dispatched.

The default value is "Label".



Implementation
    public function get label():String
    public function set label(value:String):void

Related API Elements

labelPlacement

property 
labelPlacement:String

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Position of the label in relation to a specified icon.

In ActionScript, you can use the following constants to set this property:

  • ButtonLabelPlacement.RIGHT
  • ButtonLabelPlacement.LEFT
  • ButtonLabelPlacement.BOTTOM
  • ButtonLabelPlacement.TOP

The default value is ButtonLabelPlacement.RIGHT.



Implementation
    public function get labelPlacement():String
    public function set labelPlacement(value:String):void

Related API Elements


Example  ( How to use this example )
The following example creates a Button component instance and sets its labelPlacement property to ButtonLabelPlacement.BOTTOM:
import fl.controls.Button;
import fl.controls.ButtonLabelPlacement;

var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = "ButtonLabelPlacement.BOTTOM";
myButton.labelPlacement = ButtonLabelPlacement.BOTTOM;
myButton.setStyle("icon", myLibraryAsset);
myButton.setSize(200, 100);
myButton.move(10, 10);
addChild(myButton);

selected

property 
selected: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 Boolean value that indicates whether a toggle button is toggled in the on or off position. A value of true indicates that it is toggled in the on position; a value of false indicates that it is toggled in the off position. This property can be set only if the toggle property is set to true.

For a CheckBox component, this value indicates whether the box displays a check mark. For a RadioButton component, this value indicates whether the component is selected.

The user can change this property by clicking the component, but you can also set this property programmatically.

If the toggle property is set to true, changing this property also dispatches a change event.

The default value is false.



Implementation
    override public function get selected():Boolean
    override public function set selected(value:Boolean):void

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 + ")");
}

textField

property 
public var textField:flash.text:TextField

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

A reference to the component's internal text field.

toggle

property 
toggle: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 a button can be toggled. A value of true indicates that it can; a value of false indicates that it cannot.

If this value is true, clicking the button toggles it between selected and unselected states. You can get or set this state programmatically by using the selected property.

If this value is false, the button does not stay pressed after the user releases it. In this case, its selected property is always false.

Note: When the toggle is set to false, selected is forced to false because only toggle buttons can be selected.

The default value is false.



Implementation
    public function get toggle():Boolean
    public function set toggle(value:Boolean):void

Example  ( How to use this example )
The following example creates a toggleable Button by setting its toggle property to true and listening for its change event to be dispatched:
import fl.controls.Button;

var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.toggle = true;
myButton.selected = true;
myButton.label = "selected:" + myButton.selected;
myButton.width = 120;
myButton.move(10, 10);
myButton.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
addChild(myButton);

function changeHandler(event:Event):void {
    var myBtn:Button = event.currentTarget as Button;
    myBtn.label = "selected:" + myBtn.selected;
}

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());

Returns
Object — Default styles object.

Event Detail

click

Event
Event Object Type: flash.events.MouseEvent
property MouseEvent.type = flash.events.MouseEvent.CLICK

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Dispatched after the toggle button receives input from a mouse device or from the spacebar.

Defines the value of the type property of a click event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
altKeytrue if the Alt key is active (Windows).
bubblestrue
buttonDownFor click events, this value is always false.
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
commandKeytrue on the Mac if the Command key is active; false if it is inactive. Always false on Windows.
controlKeytrue if the Ctrl or Control key is active; false if it is inactive.
ctrlKeytrue on Windows or Linux if the Ctrl key is active. true on Mac if either the Ctrl key or the Command key is active. Otherwise, false.
currentTargetThe object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener.
localXThe horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite, if mouse locking is disabled.
localYThe vertical coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite, if mouse locking is disabled.
movementXThe change in horizontal coordinates of the mouse position since the last mouse event, if mouse locking is enabled.
movementYThe change in vertical coordinates of the mouse position since the last mouse event, if mouse locking is enabled.
shiftKeytrue if the Shift key is active; false if it is inactive.
stageXThe horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred in global stage coordinates.
stageYThe vertical coordinate at which the event occurred in global stage coordinates.
targetThe InteractiveObject instance under the pointing device. 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 creates a Button component instance and listens for the click event to be dispatched:
import fl.controls.Button;

var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.label = "Click me";
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
myButton.move(10, 10);
addChild(myButton);

function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
    trace("clicked (localX:" + event.localX + ", localY:" + event.localY + ")");
}

labelChange

Event  
Event Object Type: fl.events.ComponentEvent
property ComponentEvent.type = fl.events.ComponentEvent.LABEL_CHANGE

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Version: Flash CS3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9.0.28.0, AIR 1.0

Dispatched after the label value changes.

Defines the value of the type property of a labelChange event object.

This event has the following properties:

PropertyValue
bubblesfalse
cancelablefalse; there is no default behavior to cancel.
currentTargetThe object that is actively processing the event object with an event listener.
targetThe 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 creates a Button component instance and listens for the labelChange event to be dispatched whenever the button's label property changes:
import fl.controls.Button;
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;

var myButton:Button = new Button();
myButton.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.LABEL_CHANGE, labelChangeHandler);
myButton.label = "Click me";
myButton.move(10, 10);
addChild(myButton);

function labelChangeHandler(event:ComponentEvent):void {
    trace("labelChange: " + event.currentTarget.label);
}
LabelButtonExample.as

This example extends the functionality of the LabelButton class to create an icon that displays a tool tip when rolled over.

To run the example, follow these steps:

  1. Add the List and Button components to the library.
  2. Create an icon symbol and name it MyIcon.
  3. In the symbol properties for MyIcon, toggle the option "Export for ActionScript".
  4. Save this code as LabelButtonExample.as in the same directory as your FLA file.
  5. Set the Document class in the FLA file to LabelButtonExample.

    public class LabelButtonExample extends Sprite
    {
        public function LabelButtonExample() {
            var myIcon:IconWithToolTip = new IconWithToolTip();
            myIcon.setStyle("icon", MyIcon);
            myIcon.iconDescription = "Icon Description";
            myIcon.move(50,50);
            addChild(myIcon);
        }
    }
