Another Useful, Reusable AS3 Class, "ButtonDisabler"

no@spam.com (Jody Hall) — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 17:30:00 CST

In this tutorial, we will build a class together that will automate the task of giving any group of buttons some "button disabling" behavior. You will learn about how to make the class handle any type of button. You will learn about how to decide what tasks ought to be "built-in" to the class, and which tasks are best managed by outside code. You will also learn about interfaces and polymorphism (painlessly, I promise). What you will learn about AS3 classes and OOP is the important thing, but at the same time, I think the ButtonDisabler class is something you wlll find handy and useful in the future. And I hope you'll also realize that if you can make something like this, there are any number of other similar things that you can make as well. It just takes some imagination.
