clickMode
Syntax
sprite(whichFlashSprite).clickMode
the clickMode of sprite whichFlashSprite
member(whichFlashMember).clickMode
the clickMode of member whichFlashMember
Description
Flash cast member and sprite property; controls when the Flash movie sprite detects mouse click
events (
mouseUp and mouseDown) and when it detects rollovers (mouseEnter, mouseWithin, and
mouseLeave). The clickMode property can have these values:
• #boundingBox—Detects mouse click events anywhere within the sprite’s bounding rectangle
and detects rollovers at the sprite’s boundaries.
• #opaque (default)—Detects mouse click events only when the pointer is over an opaque
portion of the sprite and detects rollovers at the boundaries of the opaque portions of the sprite
if the sprite’s ink effect is set to Background Transparent. If the sprite’s ink effect is not set to
Background Transparent, this setting has the same effect as
#boundingBox.
• #object—Detects mouse click events when the mouse pointer is over any filled
(nonbackground) area of the sprite and detects rollovers at the boundaries of any filled area.
This setting works regardless of the sprite’s ink effect.
This property can be tested and set.
Example
This script checks to see if the sprite, which is specified with an ink effect of Background
Transparent, is currently set to be rendered direct to Stage. If the sprite is not rendered direct to
Stage, the sprite’s
clickMode is set to #opaque. Otherwise (because ink effects are ignored for
Flash movie sprites that are rendered direct to Stage), the sprite’s
clickMode is set to
#boundingBox.
