View 2 RepliesMultiple Buttons Using One Event Listener?
Aug 10, 2009I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to run multiple buttons using a single addEventListener so that I don't have to create extra code. For example, in the code below I have my instance name "btnCA" which is on my movie clip. It works great and there are no issues with this code, but I need to add more buttons. Does that mean I have to copy and paste this code for each button or is there a way to add multiple instances to an event listener?

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Multiple Variables For Event Listener?
Aug 28, 2011I have been focusing on PHP a lot lately and just had a client that requires an MP3 player playing multiple songs so I had to whip out my rusty actionscript skills. I have the player completed and it is working as desired. The down side is it has multiple songs. I am using separate functions for each song and separate event listeners. My main question is there a way to combine these funtions into one and just use the event listener to pass another variable to the functions? Below is a sample of one of the code for Song1. I would like to make it so anywhere there is Song1 in the code, I can make it a variable so I can put in for example (Song2, Song3, Song4, etc.) This way, I can have one or two functions handle all the songs instead of having to copy, paste and then find and replace.
// Song 1
var Song1:Sound = new Sound();
pbSong1.source = Song1;
//pbSong1.visible = false;
var Song1Loaded:Boolean = false;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Key.removeListener() - Multiple Key Listener Objects?
Feb 12, 2008I have a problem with deleting previous Key listeners. I am building a "portfolio menu" class that creates a menu where you should be able to navigate up and down theough the keyboard keys UP and DOWN. So far so good. On my site I also have a main menu from where I launch my "portfolio menu". In that main menu I also have other main sections like for example "Contact".
The first time I launch the "portfolio menu" it works perfect but if I go to for example "Contact" the porfolio class creates a second key listener object and it makes the menu to jump more steps than it should.
how to use Key.removeListener(myKeyListenerObject)???
Actionscript 3 :: Handling Multiple Events From A Single Listener?
Aug 18, 2011I want to have a single event listener for multiple events and depending on the type of event i want to handle them separately.Something similar to Swiz framework see: 'Handling Multiple Events from a Single Method'.i have a piece of code like
var toolOptions:UIComponent=ToolOptions.createToolOptions(type);
if (options != null)
{[code]....
In above toolOptions is a mxml component which get dynamically created based on 'type'.Also which type of event should be dispatch the event from the component? eg: Event.SELECT. To be more precise the above is basically required for a toolbar.When user selects a tool,he is shown options for a tool and when he selects options,tool should apply them to object on the view.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Using A For Loop To Add Event Listener To Multiple Buttons In One Go?
Sep 8, 2009Basically i am loading a series of URLs in from an XML file and i want to assign them to each button on stage (the number of buttons on stage and the number of URLs in the XML doc will match). They will correspond, so myButton1 will go to the first URL in the XML file and so on. I also want to declare button mode true on all the buttons on stage (they are actually movie clips) but i just don't know the syntax of how to do it in a for loop without writing the whole thing out in a really long winded way.Here is my code:

View 9 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Add Event Listener To Multiple Dynamically Created Objects?
Apr 17, 2009So I have an object, generated on each click of the mouse. It's set up as a series of points with properties, with values for position randomly calculated, and set around where the user clicks the mouse. Lines are drawn from where the mouse is clicked out to each of these points, so it kind of looks like a star, but only lines, rather than a solid shape (like those old 50's atom clocks?). So once clicked there's an enter frame event listener on the object so that each of the points 'wobble' (using a randomly generated number) up and down around the original point.
For some reason, I can either set it so that on each new click of the mouse and newly generated object, the last one stops "wobbling" and only the new one does, or each new object moves to where the new object is, and maybe is still wobbling(?), but is underneath the new object. This way has the event.target as a new object in the wobble function, so I think it may be just a case of where the centre point is - i.e. saving the mouse x and y for each object individually, or perhaps I have too much of the setup function code repeated in my "wobble"function?

Flex :: Usage Of Custom Event With Properties... Multiple Events And Single Listener?
Jan 6, 2010I have multiple items in my app that I would like the user to click on.Some items are completely different classes.The classes dispatch events and then when the events are captured, some modifications are done to the transform properties of a loosely coupled display object.I want two separate classes to dispatch the same type of event, since I already have an image class that draws images based on a given url... I want the classes to dispatch the events, but then I think I want the difference to be detected when the event comes along... i.e., I would like to recognize the 'origin' or 'sub-type' of the event. Some sort of if/then logic would suffice.
View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Use The Same Event-listener Callback For Multiple Event Types?
Nov 18, 2011This 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 2.0 :: Access The Parent Of A Listener From A Listener Object?
Feb 11, 2008I am having a weird problem with scope/reference. I am using a loop to preload a number of thumbs in one go, I am creating a different listener for each one on the fly and then passing event handlers for each one of them. This should not be difficult using a loop, but somehow I cannot access the the parent object on my listener and therefore I can't do much with my thumbs after they are loaded.Here is the relevant segment of my code. myThumb_mc is a temporary variable that does not exist when the loop finishes, you can copy and paste this code to test it though. It should work to that extent. (you'll need an image1.jpg to be in the same directory)
Code:
var myThumb_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("myThumb_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
myThumb_mc.clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myThumb_mc.clipLoader.loadClip("image1.jpg",myThumb_mc);[code].....
The code above works, but it does not look nice and it cannot be the right way of doing this. Long question short, how can I access the parent of a listener from a listener object? ._parent does not work.

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Things From Memory?
Mar 27, 2008I'll try to explain the general operation of my program, and that might shed some light on my issue. I have a menu with 50 different small postcards. When one is chosen, the program zooms it up in order to fill the screen, populates some data which is unique to each postcard, and "flips" it so you can see the writing on the back. The postcard is a movieclip which imports a front image, 3 back images, and some XML text. There are some buttons on the "back" of the postcard to choose to look at a few images and text.When you choose to close the postcard, it flies away. I use the same movieclip for all 50 postcards, and just change the images and text that I load.
Once the postcard flies away, I want to remove it from memory. It won't happen with removeChild() as that keeps it there in case I want to reference it again I guess, and I have tried setting the postcard variable name to "null" without much success.I add listeners to the buttons on the postcard when I instantiate its class, so I am not sure if I have to remove them in order to get the garbage collector to deal with it. But, I also don't know what I don't know about removing things from memory. In one section of the Flash docs (Working with display object containers) it says:
"The removeChild() and removeChildAt() methods do not delete a display object instance entirely. They simply remove it from the child list of the container. The instance can still be referenced by another variable.(Use the delete operator to completely remove an object.)"And, at another place in the docs (the script reference about removeChild()) it says:
"Removes the specified child DisplayObject instance from the child list of the DisplayObjectContainer instance. The parent property of the removed child is set to null , and the object is garbage collected if no other references to the child exist. The index positions of any display objects above the child in the DisplayObjectContainer are decreased by 1.
