Summary

Constructor

CasaSimpleButton (upState:DisplayObject = null, overState:DisplayObject = null, downState:DisplayObject = null, hitTestState:DisplayObject = null)
- Creates a new CasaSimpleButton.

Instance properties

stage : Stage
- 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.
destroyed : Boolean

Instance methods

removeEventsForType (type:String) : void
- Removes all events of a specific type.
removeEventsForListener (listener:Function) : void
- Removes all events that report to the specified listener.
removeEventListeners : void
- Removes all event listeners.
removeChildren (destroyChildren:Boolean = false, recursive:Boolean = false) : void
- Removes and optionally destroys the button states of the CasaSprite.
removeChildrenAndDestroy (destroyChildren:Boolean = false, recursive:Boolean = false) : void
- Removes and optionally destroys the button states of the CasaSprite then destroys itself.
destroy : void
- Removes any event listeners and stops all internal processes to help allow for prompt garbage collection.

Constructor

CasaSimpleButton

public 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

public destroyed:Boolean

(read)

stage

override public 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.

Instance methods

destroy

public function destroy (

) : void

Removes any event listeners and stops all internal processes to help allow for prompt garbage collection.

Always call stage before deleting last object pointer.

#

Calling destroy() on a CASA display object also removes it from its current parent.

Specified by:

IDestroyable.destroy

removeChildren

public function removeChildren (

destroyChildren:Boolean = false, recursive:Boolean = false) : void

Removes and optionally destroys the button states of the CasaSprite.

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.

removeChildrenAndDestroy

public function removeChildrenAndDestroy (

destroyChildren:Boolean = false, recursive:Boolean = false) : void

Removes and optionally destroys the button states of the CasaSprite 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

public function removeEventListeners (

) : void

Removes all event listeners.

Specified by:

IRemovableEventDispatcher.removeEventListeners

removeEventsForListener

public function removeEventsForListener (

listener:Function) : void

Removes all events that report to the specified listener.

Parameters:

listener:

The listener function that processes the event.

Specified by:

IRemovableEventDispatcher.removeEventsForListener

removeEventsForType

public function removeEventsForType (

type:String) : void

Removes all events of a specific type.

Parameters:

type:

The type of event.

Specified by:

IRemovableEventDispatcher.removeEventsForType
