remove keyboard control on flash slider component

by default the flash slider component can be manipulated with the keyboard. Is there a way to disable this behavior so that users can only drag the slider component with their mouse?

Solution

  • Simple, just set the 'focusEnabled' public property of the 'Slider' object to false:

    import fl.controls.Slider;

var slider:Slider = new Slider();
addChild(slider);

slider.focusEnabled = false;

    This will indicate that the 'Slider' object can't recieve focus after the user clicks on it and therefore not allow the keyboard to interact with it.
