MovieClip.trackAsMenu

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

my_mc.trackAsMenu:Boolean

Description

Property; a Boolean value that indicates whether or not other buttons or movie clips can receive mouse release events. This allows you to create menus. You can set the trackAsMenu property on any button or movie clip object. If the trackAsMenu property does not exist, the default behavior is false.

You can change the trackAsMenu property at any time; the modified movie clip immediately takes on the new behavior.

Example

The following example sets the trackAsMenu property for three movie clips on the Stage. Click a movie clip and release the mouse button on a second movie clip to see which instance receives the event.

myMC1_mc.trackAsMenu = true;
myMC2_mc.trackAsMenu = true;
myMC3_mc.trackAsMenu = false;

myMC1_mc.onRelease = clickMC;
myMC2_mc.onRelease = clickMC;
myMC3_mc.onRelease = clickMC;

function clickMC() {
   trace("you clicked the "+this._name+" movie clip.");
}
