TransformManager[AS3] - Keep Item selected

[danno 0 Likes (Newbie)]

i'm wondering if there's a way to click on a TransformItem and then be able to click on a specific other item on the stage, without losing focus on the TransformItem selected.

 

thanks!

hi, i guess you should use the addIgnoredObject() method to add clickable objects that should not change the selection of TranformManager.

you'll find it's description in the documentation

Again, my apologies for the delayed response - I didn't get auto-notified about this post.

 

You can certainly turn autoDeselect off (set it to false) and then manage the deselection logic on your own. One common technique is to put a large invisible box behind your objects, add a MouseEvent.CLICK listener to it, and then in the handler, run your logic and if you need to deselect, just call myManager.deselectAll(). Should be pretty straightforward (I know, easy for me to say, right?)
