ActionScript 3.0 :: Listeners, Targets, Display List On A 2 Level Menu?
Jul 30, 2009I'm struggling with a 2 level menu and it needs to follow this condition: The "menuItem" button should be trigged with MOUSE_OVER to open its SubMenu, cause it needs to be also associated with the CLICK event.I'm managing the objects in the display list like this:
stage
__menu
____menuItem
______bt_title (movieclip that contains textfield with title of the button)
[code]....
how should I manage the EventListeners ?I've done like that:
Code:
menu_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverItem);
I should be able to MOUSE_OVER the menuItem to open the subMenu, and leave it open while I'm still able to MOUSE_OVER and CLICK the menuItem.bt_title and every other subMenuItems.If i do:
Code:
menuItem.mouseChildren = false;
then i don't have access anymore to its children. If i do that:
Code:
menuItem.mouseChildren = true;
menuItem.bt_title.mouseEnabled = false;
menuItem.menufill.mouseEnabled = false;
menuItem.tab.mouseEnabled = true;
then I get the "epileptic" effect created by continuously mousing OVER and OUT the menuItem. Is there something to do with the capture / bubbling phase of the event flow?Where exactly should I place the listeners?

Flex :: Adding Children Declared In Mxml To A Lower Level Container?
Feb 24, 2011I have a custom component extending Group and containing a viewstack child. The component is coded in actionscript.
When instantiating the component in mxml like so:
<components:CustomGroup width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:HBox backgroundColor="0xDDFF11" width="100%" height="100%" />
<mx:HBox backgroundColor="0x22DD63" width="100%" height="100%"/>
</components:CustomGroup>
...I would like to override whatever function that adds the children to the parent Group and add them to the child viewstack instead but I can't seem to find where the adding occurs. Breakpoints in addChild and addElement shows that they are not called during the add.

Flash At Lower Z Level Masks Mouse Events?
Sep 14, 2009I have a web site with an intro movie playing in the page's header.
The SWF playing the FLV with sound is in a division that is placed at a lower Z level. On top of the SWF, at a higher Z level, is a png image of my header containing an oval transparent window. This image acts as a skin sitting on top of my movie. The movie and sound play inside the oval window fine. I have other reasons for this approach as opposed to integrating the whole header image into the SWF.
The issue is I have no mouse control over the SWF because it is at a lower Z level. The mouse events are blocked by the transparent image window that sits on top.
I want to add a sound volume control to my movie. The control can sit either inside the oval area, or outside somewhere else on the page.
I would prefer to control the volume using another SWF that sits at the normal Z level where the mouse can work. Can one SWF control another?
Other alternatives might be to use Javascript, or even HTML image tags to control my SWF.
ActionScript 1/2 :: Lower .swf File Affecting Mouse On Top Level .swf?
Feb 19, 2010I have a zooming map .swf file loading in behind a navigation button interface .swf. The map.swf turns your mouse to a hand cursor so you can pan when you zoom in on it.Eveb though the map file is behind my nav file,when I roll over my nav file, the mouse is still turning to a hand cursor. Is there any way around this? The only time it turns to an actually pointer is when it rolls over the actual buttons on the nav file, so the mouse flickers back and forth between the hand and the pointer.How can I get the lower .swf to not effect the .swf on top?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make The Mouse Ignore SOME Children?
Mar 25, 2009I have a sprite containing a 3x3 grid of boxes. I have a rollover event attached to the container sprite, but I only want it to fire off when I go over some of the boxes, not all. I've tried using mouseEnable = false and mouseChildren = false on the relevant boxes within the sprite, but when the cursor rolls over ANY boxes within the container sprite it fires off the event, not just the ones I want to be activated.How can I get the mouse to ignore certain children within the container sprite, without actually taking them out of the sprite?

ActionScript 1/2 :: OnLoad Working At _root Level But Not At Mc_target Level?
Aug 26, 2010I have two layers in my FLA both with empty movie clips as follows:In mc_Empty1, I attach a faded background movieclip as I wait for mc_Empty2 to load a SWF. Once the SWF is loaded into mc_Empty2, I want to remove the faded background movieclip from mc_Empty1. When I load the SWF from the main timeline, the onLoad() function works and removes the faded background from mc_Empty1. However, when I load the SWF from mc_target, the SWF loads, but the onLoad() function does not. Here's my AS2 code:
//Loading SWF from main timeline
mc_Empty1.attachMovie("mcFadedBg", "mc_FadedBg", 1);
mc_Empty2.loadMovie("My.swf");mc_Empty2.onLoad = function():Void{ trace("loaded"); //This works removeMovieClip(mc_Empty1.mc_FadedBg); //This works}
[code]....
I know I'm targeting properly because the SWF loads as it should, but the onLoad() function does not.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Application Level Vs Document Level Class Paths?
Oct 2, 2010This is making me a little kooky today. I thought I could defined a library path in PREFERENCES > ACTIONSCRIPT > ACTIONSCRIPT 3.0 SETTINGS then that library would be available to all AS3 FLA files, but that doesn't seem to work for me. If I use the PUBLISH SETTINGS and define the library path everything is fine.
Is there something that I could have done to disable the application level class path functionality? I guess I'm trying avoid having to set the library path for every new FLA I'm making.
ActionScript 2.0 :: Load Swf From Third Level Into Container In First 'home' Level
Dec 26, 2011I'm doing a bigger aplication in flash (as2).Image, there is a main "home" flash with several menu buttons.Clicking these buttons, I load external swf into an empty container in this "home" flash.[code]clicking buttons in this second level, will load external movies into an empty container in this SECOND LEVEL swf.This works fine, but now, coming to the THIRD LEVEL (don't think there will be more in the future) problems come up, some scripts won't work.Now (I'm a as2-beginner) I think, loading external swf ALLWAYS into containers in the first "Home" flash should solve the problem.But I don't know, how to load an swf from the third level into a container in the first "home" level.In the "home" level, I have a "close" button, that will unload the container content.I need to go to a certain scene "content_2" in the home swf, too.

Calling A Swf From1st Level To Go From 3rdlevel To 2nd Level
Dec 2, 2009I have called main.swf into a container in index.swf.
myMCL.loadClip("main.swf","container"); is an action on my Index.fla timeline.
I have my navigation on index. (i wanted it to go on main, but the nature of the animation meant it had to go on index)
I need to call "home.swf" into "main.swf" from the navigation button in Index.swf.
When I had the navigation on "main.swf" this was my code to call "home.swf" into the page.
on (release) {
Preloader_mc.gotoAndStop("home");
}
("home") is the label name where the preloader is for home.swf

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mixing Stage Mouse Events And Children Events?
Sep 30, 2009I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
