I'm trying to do an eventDispatch but the event isn't getting picked up.The dispatch is coming from swf B, and the listener is in swfNot sure if it's an issue because they are 2 files. Does anyone know of a solution?
View 1 RepliesI have an event listener for a custom event type. This custom event overrides the clone method as required.In this event listener I want to dispatch an instance of a different type of event... a different custom event instance altogether. It also overrides the clone method as required.The problem is I'm getting a type coercion error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: ...I do not know what is trying to do the casting. My code is:
/* elsewhere in a method */
addEventListener(GestureEvent.GESTURE_SCALE, handlePinched);
/* the event handler */

I have a class which makes a url request and stores data from that request. When the data is retrieved, parsed, and stored into an array, I'm sending a dispatch event which I listen for in my document class. In the event handler function in the document class, I'm accessing the array that was compiled from the class. The array inside the class has 15 values, however in my event handler function, I'm only retrieving one value from it, which is the last value in the array. I posted my code below. Is there a different way I'm supposed to use the dispatchEvent in order to retrieve all of the array values instead of one?

Basically all I want to know is if there will be a hit on performance as I dispatch events more frequently, or if this is a trivial task for flash to complete.

I'm trying to dispatch a custom event from an custom ItemRenderer inside a Datagroup with no success.[code]...
From what i saw in the debugger, the events are dispatched from the ItemRenderer, but they never get catched by the listener (listener handler is never called). Many suggestions fly around about that in stackoverflow, but most for older flex versions or not practicle for my scenario.
I've a Flex application which loads a Flash swf via SWF loader; the Flash swf is in AS3. the flash swf has code to dispatchEvent a Text Event
Flash Code:
var re:TextEvent = new TextEvent(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT,true,true);
Flex Code:
<mx:SWFLoader source="menu.swf" id="mnu" complete="menuLoaded(event)" />
private var mySwfMve:MovieClip;
function menuLoaded(event:Event): void {

I don't see any TextEvents being dispatched from Flash. They are not seen in the debug trace.. I can capture enter frame events however.
My prog here doesn't work there's no syntax error My flash custom event doesn't trigger
so my question is can flash object dispatch custom event to itself because that's what I wanna do ?
I have small swf as3 flash applications that are loaded by a main flex application. The main Flex Application contains an SWFLoader and i added an event listener on SWFLoader.content to fetch custom events that I prepared.
now whenever I like in the application I use the function dispatchEvent to create the event and I make sure that the bubbles parameter of the event is true. so in this case the event bubbles up in the stage until it reaches my event listener and I can handle the event properly. the problem resides when I have a static class and I want to dispatch the event from there. because it's a static class and not a display object that appears on my stage it has no where to bubble to and because of that I cannot fetch the custom even in my main flex application.

View 1 RepliesI have an RTMP stream loading and would like to know the drop off time of the video. Is there a method of knowing when a person abruptly leaves the video session by closing the window, back button, address bar, etc?Or do i need to make an external interface call from JavaScript to Flash using something like onunload & onbeforeunload events?I am guessing that it is the later, but wanted to see if there was a method of keeping all my code inside of AS3.

Is it possible to grab an event, hold it in a class property, do some action, then, when that action is complete, dispatch an event and then retrieve the original event.target in the listener?I am trying to avoid using a custom event for now, as it is giving me massive amounts of heartburn when dispatching it from a loaded SWF.Here is some code (that doesn't work)what I am attempting to do:
package
{
import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;
import fl.transitions.Tween;[code]....
I am able to stash the event in a class variable, and then access it later, but the cherry on the icing would be to get it from the event fired withing tweenHandler() in my example above.
Edit: Well,it doesn't look possible.I am currently storing the retrieved event in a property _event and then getting it at a later time when I need it.This seems to work, but isn't wonderful.
I believe this is trivia question but here it is.I have created class which loads some image and takes fragments of each for certain animation.And in flash stage where I instance classes, I need to know when loading is complete. How do I proceed that info, I presume dispachevent do that, but how?

View 2 Repliesdispatch an event on every 'onProgressEvent' of an external display object loading.
Does dispatching an event frequently cause performance issues?
All I want to do is have a parent class listen for whenever a progressEvent has fired in my loader class, rather than setting up an onEnterFrame loop in the parent class to call 'get' methods within the loader - this seems inefficient to me seeing as onProgressEvents don't occur on every frame.
I have two classes a Player class and a Bullet class.
In my Player class I'm dispatching an event(to fire a bullet) when the SPACE bar is pressed.

I have two buttons each in its own sprite now I want to listen for mouse overmout and click event on both. In a way that if you roll over button1 its color changes but at the same time button2 color changes as well.
To be more specific lets suppose I have a graphic button like map picutre for a country like UK and then I have text button for UK as well. What I want now is that when user either scrolls over UK map the map button color changes but at the same time the color for UL text button changes as well. same goes for click and out events for the two.
