Is there any way in AS2 to add an event listener NOT to a particular button instance in the stage, but to any symbol in the stage which is a Button?[code]...
View 5 RepliesI am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering if I had say 10 buttons and I wanted to add them to one event listener, is there a way to set up an array and attach them all to one event listener to cut down on code?
View 1 RepliesI need to add an event listener to the stage of this code.. this is for a scrolling slider.. and if your mouse is not over the scroll bar area when you release.. the slider gets "stuck" to the cursor and it won't release. I believe I need to add a listener to the stage for the mouse up state so that if your cursor is elsewhere on the stage and you release the mouse, it will release the slider.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have been playing with OOP concept... is it possible to add stage event listener from a custom class... I tried to access, stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Mouse_Move, mouseHL); in the constructor.. It shows error!
View 1 RepliesI have a set of thumbnails in a "gallery" class calling a "feature" class that's presents/displays the associated content.
I'm stuck with a runtime problem where I have a thumbnail button calling a "feature" class. This "feature" class contains a function with an instance of a button listener. So everytime I call this function it creates a duplicate instance of this listener. - BAD
I would like to move this addListener instance out of the function in the "feature" class so it doens't multiply instances every time it's called by the thumbnail.
However, when I take the listener instance and it's function included out of the function in the "feature" class being called it can't access other functions in the "feature" class.
Is there a simple way around this so I can have button listeners in a class but not added every time the containing class is being called? Should I have these buttons in a separate class that just extends from the "feature" class?
in my class I am trying to add a MOUSE_UP event listener to the stage.How can I do this?
PHP Code:
//when I do this in the main constructor of my class
Stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, h_draggable_mouseUp);
[code]....
I am using a component in my application, but it turns out, it's slowing my app down big time b/c it doesnt remove an eventListener on stage for mouse move. Is there a way I can remove this listener? I can't get into the class b/c it's a component and it doesnt have any sort of kill function to call.
View 15 RepliesI am creating animation using as3 in which i duplicate the circle ten time,then pushing into an array and giving random motion. When all the duplicate object goes outside the stage then i should remove the event listener. But right now when one duplicate object goes off the stage the event listener is removed.
View 5 Repliesim trying to create a separate class so i can create a custom mouse. But i need to make it so that every time the mouse moves then something happens. as in it dissapers and after 5 seconds the timer resets. I have the code and it works in my .fla file, but im not sure its possible to put it in a class file and have it be the class of the .fla.
View 16 RepliesI am having problems with a flash project I am working on (flash cs5.5, as3).I have a movie clip with some animation in it, and when it reaches a certain point, I want it to call out a function that is on the first key frame on the stage (as in on the main timeline and not in a movie clip...).This is what I have so far in side that movie clip:
Actionscript Code:
stop();addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onTween);
but I allways get this error message:
"Symbol 'ContMask', Layer 'Layer 6', Frame 124, Line 21120: Access of undefined property onTween."
All I am trying to make it do is to trigger the function (onTween) in the main timeline from the movie clip (ContMask).
I have made index swf which is loading other child swf's into index these swf's are images.swf,portfolio.swf, about.swf etc.., I have made 2 public function in each swf which is construct or diconstruct. when i unload any swf then i play disconstruct public function of every child swf.. I stuck in when I remove stage event listener of every child swf then it shows error.

I wanted to remove an event listener from main class stage, but i get the error 1120: Access of undefined property stage. How do I actually access the stage?
custom class:
import main;
main.disableVcam();
main class:
public static function disableVcam():void {
trace("disable");
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, movevC);
}
What is the correct event listener to detect a child added to the stage? I tried:
[Code]...
which doesn't work. I also tried ADDED_TO_STAGE but that doesn't fire it either. Do you know the correct way to detect when the child is added? Perhaps I should be attaching the listener to the parent instead?
I've done a class to be able to listen to the event for a CLASS not on an instance.
Code:
class net.webbymx.events.XClassEventListener {[code]....
why did I do this.It cames with my rugby game.I have player in two teams. When a player throw the ball I want the other teammate to act like "wait for ball" and the opponent like "seek for ball". Plus I'm lazy (and I don't want to register the listener for each instance of the player I'm creating). So this class is made to be able to handle as many instance of a class I want without adding a listener on each of them. I'm just creating a global listener on the class and then I will be able to receive dispatched event for any instance of this class .so in my team I can do
Code:
XClassListener.initialize(this);
this.addEventListener("throw", "net.webbymx.game.Player", "wait");
and in my opponent team I can do
Code:
XClassListener.initialize(this);
this.addEventListener("throw", "net.webbymx.game.Player", "seek");
All my other instances I can access on my main movie from within my main movie except my button named play_game. Whenever I tried to trace or access it, it says its null. Do I have to do something special in order to access button instances?
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to create an Event Listener used with all buttons placed on the stage rather than a listener for each button object.Are coding examples of a class listener?
View 5 RepliesI'll keep this simple (I hope). There's a button with an event listener on a frame of the main timeline. You click the button to go to the next frame and a movie clip plays. The instance of that button doesn't exist on that next frame. Does the event listener for the button automatically get removed when you go to that frame since the button doesn't exist there?
The movie clip is set up to send the main timeline back to the previous frame when it's finished and my event listener seems to vanish when I go back to that frame.
I'm creating a minesweeper game as my first flash project, but I'm already stuck on something technical. I have created a button named Button which contains a bitmap. I have a lot of instances of that button on stage, and they are put there by actionscript using a for-loop. Their instance names are button0, button1, button2, button3, etc.
This is the code for the eventlistener: It's in the first keyframe of the actions layer.
var buttonListener:Object=new Object();
buttonListener.click=function(evt:Object):Void{
trace("clicked");
} for (i=0; i<rows*cols; i++) {
eval("button"+i).addEventListener("click", buttonListener);
}
I also noticed that when I do this for one button that I created myself and put on the stage manually, this also doesn't work, but when I pick one of the predefined buttons, it works just fine.
isit possible to call two functions from one button event listener?
or is it even possible to write two seperate listeners for one button that listen for the same thing an example is shown in the code;
also, i have string variable, that i want to use to call a certain funtion depending on the variable, for example the vairables name is phase_no can i do next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,nextPhase,beginSubmit+phas e_no)??
I have this Accelerometer event, taken from the code snippets, and it works fine, but i would like to know is it possible to turn this off by a button.
[Code]...
I would like to have a movie to play when the mouse is over a button instead of when it is clicked. My script is now:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
Here is my full code
import fl.controls.*;
var test:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var btn:Button;
[code]....
Result:
You clicked 8
You clicked 8
You clicked 8...
Is there anyway, such that, I can use for loop to create different name button, and add it to an event listener?
make the nearest button to the clicked text input default. For this purpose, I wrote the below code.
why is my buttonSwitcher function following behind the MouseEvent.CLICK?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="addListeners()">
<mx:Script>

I have a set of buttons on, and what i would like to do is change the value of a variable, depending which button you are over.i know i could do this by writing an event listener and a function for each button, but this is too time consuming.I'm sure in the old days it would have been as simple as if btnwhatever.mousedown = true then.... but now i have no idea.
View 1 RepliesI would like to know if it is possible to pass a clip event on to both the function that has a listener, and to the button that is being pressed. I am finding the listener takes it and thus the button doesn't see it.I found a walk around, however, I'd like to know if it is possible say for one clip event to be seen by both objects?For example, with the mouse over a button the listener function detects the event and carries itself out, however, the button misses the event now.
View 2 RepliesWhenever I remove an event listener to a button then that button no longer works. Does it cause memory leaks to not remove these listeners.....come to think of it I have about 30 eventListeners that I cannot remove otherwise the application ceases to function correctly. Is my application a memory black hole? How should i proceed with garbage collection?
View 3 RepliesI have a situation where I'm calling a function with an event listener attached to a button, which in turn calls a function, which does a number things including calling a second function which resides in a child swf.
Just as an example:
Code:
myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, firstFunction);
function firstFunction(e:MouseEvent):void{
//I call another function in here (among other things)
externalSwf.stopTimer();
}
"StopTimer" resides in an external swf which for our purposes is called externalSwf and it resets a running timer.
Code:
function stopTimer():void{
myTimer.reset();
}
I'm getting argument mismatch errors, which often have to do with the Event Objects not matching. The event object for firstFunction is a mouse event triggered by a click so I put in e:MouseEvent...what I don't clearly understand is, what type of object event is dispatched when I call the function stopTimer from inside the function firstFunction?
On the main timeline, I have placed a movieclip (movieclipone) which contains some content. On frame 85 of movieclipone, there is a new keyframe which contains a movieclip that hasn't previously appeared in the movieclipone timeline, (moviecliptwo) which contains four buttons (btnone, et cetera).Is there a way to have code in the main timeline that attaches listeners to the buttons inside moviecliptwo, which, when pressed, trigger a function that increases a counter and tells movieclipone to go to the next frame? This is the code I am using right now:
stop();
movieclipone.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);function onEnter(e:Event):void [code]........
When I debug the movie, I get this error at frame 85:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
I have a tab navigator defined in MXML, with two tabs.In each tab, I have some buttons. I have used ActionScript to add event listeners to all the buttons, and they work for the buttons that are visible (and in the currently "active" tab) when I load my Flex 4.5 AIR application.However, I get an AIR error for the event listeners attached to the buttons in the second tab.Here's the crucial part of the error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
