Edition
Flash MX Professional 2004.
Usage
Alert.NONMODAL
Description
Property (constant); a property with the constant hexadecimal value 0x8000. This property
can be used for the
flags
that an Alert window should be nonmodal, which allows users to interact with buttons and
instances underneath the displayed window. By default, windows generated with
are modal, which means that users cannot click anything except the currently
Alert.show()
open window.
Example
The following example displays two Button component instances on the Stage. Clicking one
button opens a modal window, which prevents the user from further clicking the buttons
until the Alert window is closed. The second button opens a nonmodal window, which allows
the user to continue clicking the buttons underneath the currently open nonmodal Alert
window. To test this example, add instances of both the Alert component and the Button
component to the current document's library and add the following code to Frame 1 of the
main timeline:
import mx.controls.Alert;
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Button, "modal_button", 10, {_x:10,
_y:10});
this.createClassObject(mx.controls.Button, "nonmodal_button", 20, {_x:120,
_y:10});
modal_button.label = "modal";
modal_button.addEventListener("click", modalListener);
function modalListener(evt_obj:Object):Void {
var a:Alert = Alert.show("This is a modal Alert window", "Alert Test",
Alert.OK, this);
a.move(100, 100);
}
nonmodal_button.label = "nonmodal";
