button mode question

[timaging]

ok, so I'm trying to make a button active only when alpha gets to 1. I know I can do this using visible, but that doesn't fade in nice.

 

I thought this would work, and it does partially, but not fully... basically the rollover stops when it's fading out, but the link is alwasy still active:

yourtimeline.append(new TweenLite(tdButton, 1, {buttonMode:true, useHandCursor:true, alpha:1, ease:Quad.easeInOut, blurFilter:{blurX:0, blurY:0}}), -1);

yourtimeline.append(new TweenLite(tdButton, 1, {buttonMode:false, useHandCursor:false, alpha:0, ease:Quad.easeInOut, blurFilter:{blurX:0, blurY:0}}), -1);

 

is there any trick to making buttons work only when alpha gets to 1?

 

thanks,

Dave

I'm not sure if this helps, but this is the button code that's being used. I realize this isn't greensock stuff but maybe it's the culprit:

 

tdButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2);

function fl_ClickToGoToWebPage_2(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://financial-risk-governance-community.socialgo.com/balance_sheet__management.html"), "_self");
}

tdButton.mouseEnabled = false;
TweenLite.to(tdButton, 1, {alpha:1, onComplete:enableButton});
function enableButton():void {
   tdButton.mouseEnabled = true;
}

awesome, but can this work using timeline, like I'm doing now, or should I recode to do it this way?

 

thanks!!

also, I see that this only enables the button, but can I also then disable the button when it's done?

ok... all set. I think I got it working!!!

 

RESOLVED and THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
