Constructor

CasaSimpleButton

function CasaSimpleButton(upState:DisplayObject = null, overState:DisplayObject = null, downState:DisplayObject = null, hitTestState:DisplayObject = null)

Creates a new CasaSimpleButton.

Parameters
upState :The initial value for the SimpleButton up state.
overState :The initial value for the SimpleButton over state.
downState :The initial value for the SimpleButton down state.
hitTestState:The initial value for the SimpleButton hitTest state.

Instance properties

destroyed

destroyed:Boolean(read)

Determines if the object has been destroyed , or is still available for use .

stage

override stage:Stage(read)

The Stage of the display object or if the display object is not added to the display list and StageReference is defined stage will return the default stage; otherwise null.

Overrides
  • SimpleButton.stage

Instance methods

destroy

function destroy() : void

Removes any event listeners and stops all internal processes to help allow for prompt garbage collection. Always call destroy() before deleting last object pointer.
Calling destroy() on a CASA display object also removes it from its current parent.

getTotalEventListeners

function getTotalEventListeners(type:String = null) : uint

Reports the number of listeners for a specific event or the total listeners for all events.

Parameters
type:
The name of event or for all events.
Returns
  • The number of listeners.

removeAllChildren

function removeAllChildren(destroyChildren:Boolean = false, recursive:Boolean = false) : void

Removes and optionally destroys the button states of the CasaSimpleButton.

Parameters
destroyChildren:If the button state implements IDestroyable call its destroy method true, or don't destroy false; defaults to false.
recursive :Call this method with the same arguments on all of the button state's children (all the way down the display list) true, or leave the button state's children false; defaults to false.

removeAllChildrenAndDestroy

function removeAllChildrenAndDestroy(destroyChildren:Boolean = false, recursive:Boolean = false) : void

Removes and optionally destroys the button states of the CasaSimpleButton then destroys itself.

Parameters
destroyChildren:If the button state implements IDestroyable call its destroy method true, or don't destroy false; defaults to false.
recursive :Call this method with the same arguments on all of the button state's children (all the way down the display list) true, or leave the button state's children false; defaults to false.

removeEventListeners

function removeEventListeners() : void

Removes all event listeners.

removeEventsForListener

function removeEventsForListener(listener:Function) : void

Removes all events that report to the specified listener.

Parameters
listener:
The listener function that processes the event.

removeEventsForType

function removeEventsForType(type:String) : void

Removes all events of a specific type.

Parameters
type:
The type of event.
