Appreciated because you share your ideas. But, you have mistaken in your article when you said, “If the method was ACTUALLY private then you wouldn’t be able to access it as is illustrated by the above example because it would throw a compile time error, let alone override it to boot.” You are not overriding onRollOver at all by using dispatch method within the body of the onRollOver callback function. All you did was implementing the callback function.

Hi - i found this a very useful post - thank you.

I was trying to apply this technique to the ComboBox, but I don’t seem to be able to get it to work. Whatever I do to enable the onRollOver event dispatch seems to disable the ComboBox functionality. Any ideas? Thanks!

[...] I realised last night (by ‘realised’ I mean someone pointed out - Stefan ). That I hadn’t posted up an actual component based on my earlier post about adding rollOver and rollOut events to the Button component. [...]

Stefan, not sure if you’re subscribed to this post. However I have sent you an MXP with the component, class file and a simple sample file. Hope that helps

Sorry, but I need some implementation details. creating a FGButton instance with:
import mypackage.components.FGButton;
myButton = paneContent.createClassObject(FGButton, “myButton”, paneContent.getNextHighestDepth());
doesn’t show a button on the stage whereas createClassObject(Button, .. runs fine
Do I have to create a FGButton component?

[...] I spent a while fiddling around with an invisible button that would trigger the tooltip, but it was a really irritating and annoying solution.� It simply didn’t seem the right way of doing it.� Then, by doing a bit more research on the internet, I came across a brilliant solution.� It appears that the fuction was left out of the components, but it is still hidden within Flash somewhere.� Thanks so much to Mike Jones and his FlashGen blog.

Great - thanks very much for this. Was fiddling around for ages trying to get a hover-over effect from a standard Flash button. Really annoying that they’d missed out the rollover function. Great to see that they didn’t really miss it out. Thanks!
