Well I've got my problem solved but I have to say this must be a bug workaround. I had a rollout eventlistener that Breezzze1 suggested and that didn't help. The problem is odd because it is so inconsistant. I could press the button 10 times and have it work correctly and then on the 11th it sticks, 13th sticks and then 14 -20 be ok again.
I haven't tried your solution, Gaspyy, but this is what I tried and it works:
I discovered that the TOUCH_END events on the buttons were not being triggered consistently (obviously). But I did find that if you added a TOUCH_END event to the stage itself it would always trigger without fail. All my buttons are simple movie clips that display their states simply by going to frames and stopping. Nothing special. So this is how I got my buttons to correctly reset to their inactive state:
///////////////////
var ButtonResetterList = [leftLessonArrow, RightLessonArrow,this.mcMp3Player.btnStop, this.mcMp3Player.btnPlay, this.mcMp3Player.btnPause]
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, TouchReseter);
function TouchReseter(event:TouchEvent):void {
for (var i:uint=0; i<ButtonResetterList.length; i++) {
ButtonResetterList[i].gotoAndStop(1)
}
}
///////////////////
For every frame/screen I have I set the ButtonResetterList to what ever buttons I have on that screen or set it to [] if I have no buttons to tweak.
I just think this is ugly that I have to do this but it works. Being a bit of a novice it took me a lot longer to figure this out than I liked.
