ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Event Listener To A String?

Oct 23, 2009

I have recently moved from AS2.0 to AS3.0 and I am trying to get to grips with event handling. I am managing for things like key presses and mouse clicks

I am successfully tracing a string as either "login successful" or "login unsuccessful" from a PHP file on a local host and it traces as working in my Login class. Now I want to listen for the "login successful" string, currently tracing in my Login class and if it works, call an EventHandler in my Main class which will execute the next step.

Here's my code so far

PHP Code:

private function onLogin(e:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding The Same Event Listener Several Times?

Jul 10, 2009

I have a button which adds an Event.ENTER_FRAME listener. Once this listener has been added it's quite possible that the user might click the button several times more. Is the same Event.ENTER_FRAME listener triggered again when the button is clicked again? or does Actionscript ignore the command to create the listener again since the listener is already running?

I'm worried about memory leaks, and I'm worried that Actionscript might create multiple Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners with the same name, but it would suit me best if I could allow the user to click the button as many times as they want.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Event Listener To A Button Within A Movie Clip?

May 1, 2009

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.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Proper Listener On Tween Event Inside Mouse Event

Feb 23, 2011

My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Click Event Model - Make A Function And Add It As An Event Listener?

I'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Basic Event Listener Mouse Event ROLL OVER

This is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.

I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:

Actionscript 3 :: Use The Same Event-listener Callback For Multiple Event Types?

Nov 18, 2011

This might be more of a subjective question, but is it generally best practice to have one dedicated method per event-types that you add an event-listener?

Such as:

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
//Somewhere else in the code...

[Code].....

And if you had a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and other relevant MouseEvents event-listeners to watch for, you could even set a switch statement to handle all the various MouseEvent types.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Click Listener To Stage

Oct 23, 2010

I have added a listener to the stage to close a loader object when the stage is clicked. The problem is the click seems to effect the loader object to (basically when you click the loader it calls the click function attached to the stage). Is that to be expected? I suppose it makes sense, but is there a way of adding a listener to the stage that excludes certain objects?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A MouseEvent Listener To A Loader?

var ldr1:Loader=new Loader();var url1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("thumbs/1t.jpg");ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done1);ldr1.load(url1);
function done1(event:Event):void{    event.target.content.alpha=.5;    event.target.content.x=currentX;   //currentX & Y are already set    event.target.content.y=currentY;    addChild(event.target.content);    currentX+=event.target.content.width;}
 
NOW, I'm trying to add the MouseEvent and can't figure out what to add the listener to - the loader or its content?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Adding Listener To Every Component Of Same Type

Dec 13, 2009

Basically, I'm having trouble with depths causing components to display on top of some combobox drop-downs. So basically I made a listener that will listen for focusIn and swap the depth of the combobox to the next highest to bring it to the front when the user clicks on it. No, rather than write a line to apply this listener to each combobox on the stage, is there a way to apply it to the combobox component in general, so it will effect all instances of the combobox component?

So changing this:
ActionScript Code:
var combobox_listener:Object = new Object();
combobox_listener.focusIn = function():Void {
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}state_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);
county_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);
city_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);

I want to add a listener to it so that the next image loads before it is processed. Where do I put the listener - In the MC or in the root? At the moment, I have it in the MC but it does not run the function. I created a test function in the root which runs the listener no problem.
