ActionScript 1/2 :: Using Event Listener To Trigger Text
Feb 2, 2012
I am using the following code to create the quick word for a translator who is doing a live translation of a chat.
[CODE]...
the word is succesfully generated, only problem is, it deletes all the other text in the text box as well. Is there a way of making a keyboard shortcut which just adds that text on the same row I am on? Otherwise I am also happy to settle for a button which generates this text as long as it does not delete the other text in the text box.

I m using a dynamic text field in my app. I have added one Event.Change Listener on it. When I type into it with the keyboard, the event triggers. But when i set some text in it when user performs some action, like textfieldName.text = "test" then the event does not triggers. In this type of situation where we are not using keyboard, which listener should be added to text field to trigger the change event?

Here's how I'd like events to unfold:when the first image is completely downloaded, fade it up and start the timer After 5 seconds, pause the timer and completely download the next image. Fade it up and start the timer again Remove the previous image from the stage
I set my fade's alpha to .5 to see if the previous image was being removed, and it was not. What is wrong with my syntax?

I've got an input text and I want to add an event listener when up(or down) arrow is pressed. How can I make this work? input text has it's own -by default- listeners on up and down arrows.
What I want to do is when pressing up arrows focused in the input text to get previous messages and vice versa.

Not sure if I phrased that correctly. I have about 6 pieces of illustrator outlined text.imported into flash, set as symbols with event listeners and works fine. but i notice I can only click on the outline itself, if i click on the inside of an "o" or "R" it doesnt work.I added white boxes behind each of the symbols and that fixed the problem, but now i want to do a color transform on the symbol (the text only of course), but when I apply the transform, its the background box and the text that have the new color applied, just leaving me a rectangle. I gave the box an alpha of 0, hoping if i didn't affect the alpha in the transform, the pointer would still read the box, but no go, it doesnt even see the box again.

I am using the following key listener to trigger a login function:
code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
login();
}}
Key.addListener(keyListener);
However this triggers the login function twice, which causes the user to get a error saying they are already logged in. I have a button on the stage which triggers the same function.
code:
login_btn.onRelease = login;
And this works fine. How I can ensure that the keylistener only triggers the login function once?

I am looking for a way to trigger the downState of my SimpleButton using my KEY_DOWN event. I am hoping there is a way to do this without having to switch this to a MovieClip custom button.
[Code]...
The actionButton is my SimpleButton. I have tried dispatcing the CLICK event and MOUSE_DOWN event but neither has worked.

I 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.

if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?

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.

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.

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:

I am doing this inside a module containing viewstacks and their childs.Calling onInit() on creationComplete of module.When I am inside one of the childs of a viewstack of this module and press Enter, it doesnt not invoke the listener function at all (bp inside this does not get hit).

this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);

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.

I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
test01.abtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.bbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.cbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);[code]....
It is only targeting the movie clip, not the buttons inside the movie clip.
