[AS3] UI component "Button"

[Hummerr]

Hi everyone, I need to realize the UI component "button" with it's own logic, that has methods or properties which allows to change: Number, color, lock-unlock and other. But there is one important detail - if the number that is centralized on the button will be longer than five symbols - the button must expand. Do you know where to find some examples, or may be you can give some advices :-) Thanks!

The changes you speak of can be done with the button component as is.

Change color:

var btn:Button = new Button();
addChild(btn);

var ct:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform();
ct.color = 0x00000;

btn.transform.colorTransform = ct;

Disable/enable:

btn.enabled = false;
//or
btn.enabled = true;

However, I'm not sure what you mean by changing the "Number" of a button.

To expand the button according to the amount of text you want in it, you can use code similar to this.

var str:String = "This is a lot of text for a button";
btn.label = str;
btn.width += str.length*3;

I'm not saying you shouldn't make a button from scratch, but this approach might be easiest and suit your needs.
