MovieClip 463
The enabled property only governs the button-like properties of a movie clip. You can
change the
enabled property at any time; the modified movie clip is immediately enabled or
disabled. The
enabled property can be read out of a prototype object. If enabled is set to
false, the object is not included in automatic tab ordering.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Example
The following example disables the circle_mc movie clip when the user clicks it:
circle_mc.onRelease = function() {
trace("disabling the "+this._name+" movie clip.");
this.enabled = false;
};
endFill (MovieClip.endFill method)
public endFill() : Void
Applies a fill to the lines and curves added since the last call to beginFill() or
beginGradientFill(). Flash uses the fill that was specified in the previous call to
beginFill() or beginGradientFill(). If the current drawing position does not equal the
previous position specified in a
moveTo() method and a fill is defined, the path is closed with
a line and then filled.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Example
The following example creates a square with red fill on the Stage:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("square_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
square_mc.beginFill(0xFF0000);
square_mc.moveTo(10, 10);
square_mc.lineTo(100, 10);
square_mc.lineTo(100, 100);
square_mc.lineTo(10, 100);
square_mc.lineTo(10, 10);
square_mc.endFill();
