I have wrote an action script like this[code]...
The script dynamically create a list of textfield vertically and it will show a list of news title from an XML document.
The problem is: I need when a user click on a textfield (one of news title list), it will loads another movie clips that shows the complete news. Can I attach an OnPress event on a textfield?
lets say i have dynamically duplicated movieClips ID's stored in array list. i want to add a onPress event to them. how do i do it?
[Code]...
I have the next code:
mc.onPress=function()
{
//some code
}
How do I remove the event handler onPress?
I have created different buttons on different movieclip. Then i assigned onPress event on each buttons. But the function of onPress event is not triggered. The arrangement of movieclips is following.
var mainMC:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("mainMC",0);
mainMC._alpha = 0;
var adImgMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("adImgMC",0);
var offerMC:MovieClip = mainMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerMC",1);
var offerList:MovieClip = offerMC.createEmptyMovieClip("offerList",0);
[Code] .....
I have created an event as follows:
offerList.onRollOver = function(){
offerList.stopTween();
clearInterval(autoScrlTimer);
} offerList.onRollOut = function(){
duration = 0;
autoScrlTimer = setInterval(automaticScroll,duration);
ovrFlag = true
}
I doubt that the onPress event is not working because of the above piece of code.
class myClass
{
private static var thisClass;

I have run into an issue where when you use the onPress function, it won't register the second onPress event if the mouse doesn't move and the user clicks the same pixel. I have to use onPress, and am wondering if there is a way around this. It is just a little annoying that I have to move my mouse to have it catch that second onPress..

I have a scrollBar movieClip inside an interface that is not always responding to the onPress event. Sometimes, it works fine, and sometimes I have to roll off of the scrollBarMC for the cursor to change back to the finger and respond to the onPress event. Other times, it responds more than once to the event on just one click.
I realize that there could be other issues within my interface's code, however, when I trace my function calls they seems to not execute or execute more than once. Has anyone else ever run across such an issue with the movieClip.onPress event? Below is the code for the scrollBar mc. Anyone see something glaring?

I'd like to completely erase an onPress = function() statement.delete movieclip.onPress... and it works because no actions happens when I press that movieclip. But the problem is there's still an on press statement but empty, and I can't make any onpress on the inside movieclips.BTW I still see the hand after using delete mc.onPress even if there are no actions assigned to that event.

how can i have an array of strings but also with mc identifiers in the same array and have it know the difference between object and string? RIght now i've got this array of strings that goes to a textfield, and if i change it to
portfolioSection(["section 01", "section 02", {linkage: "linkage_id", x: 530, y: 280}, "section 04", "section 05"]);
this.attachMovie(portfolioSection[2].linkage)[/AS]
to try and attach an MC instead of text in a textfield i just get[object object] in the text field.
I did create a flash shoutbox (php & mysql) and its working like a charm...now i want to add smileys. users can press on a smiley to attach it to the message. i got the flash smileys in the library. i know its going to be hard to implement that feature into the shoutbox...my question is:wich is the best way to do this?For instance, let's say i want to display this string :"Now im very happy<SMI>: D</SMI>and now im not"when shoutbox message is loaded into flash, parse it to find the <SMI>: D</SMI> markup, then analyse it to know what smiley to display. Let's say i want to replace ": D" by an mc called "smi_laugh". Then split the string into three parts :"Now im very happy"<SMI>: D</SMI>"and now im not"then replace <SMI>: D</SMI> with the smiley instance from the library and put it all back into textbox.... new string = 1(txt) + 2 (smi_laugh_mc) + 3(txt)(whooaaa, lots of work but okay :-))
View 7 RepliesI am trying to attach a styleSheet to a textField. If I have a tag defined in the css file it will not show in the textField. all the other text is there just not the link (a {font-weight: bold;} is the only thing in my css file).
I tried adding a <p> tag to the text and the css - then all my text disappeared.I deleted everything out of the css file (while still attaching it to the textField in flash). and all my text showed including the link, which worked. But it naturally had no style.

For instance, let's say I want to display this string :
"Now I am very happy<SMI>: D</SMI>and now I am not"
1. When shoutbox message is loaded into flash, parse it to find the <SMI>: D</SMI> markup, then analyze it to know what smiley to display. Let's say I want to replace ": D" by an mc called "smi_laugh". Then split the string into three parts :
"Now I am very happy"<SMI>: D</SMI>" and now I am not"then replace <SMI>: D</SMI> with the smiley instance from the library and put it all back into textbox....
new string = 1(txt) + 2 (smi_laugh_mc) + 3(txt)
2. Load the same stuff into flash and create a extra mc on top of the texfield and attach the smileys to it to display...fill the textfield with spaces to make spce for the smiley.
I have a set of 5 text buttons that I want to alter slightly with actionscript. An OnClip event moves the 5 text buttons onto the screen, then each button has a stop action as well as an OnPress/OnRelease that rotates it from black text to blue text and rolls back to black text again. I just need it to be black text to blue and stop when the viewer clicks the link to go to an HTML page.
How would you code it so that the text button rolls from black to blue and stays BLUE for the selected HTML page as long as the user is on it, letting them know where they are in the site's navigation. The sample code from button 1 is below:

I am working on an AIR application:
The main window is like a dashboard. With the menu bar, I can open other windows with dashboard details. When I close these, I'd like to refresh the main window.
I tried to use an event listener, but the result is not good. If I open detail windows directly from the main window, I know how to add an event listener - and it works - but I don't know how to do it, if the detail window is opening from the menubar!
I'm using removeMovieClip and AttachMovie twice in one rollOver event, but only the second one works. Here's the code:
[Code]....
So - if there is only remove/attach of "LetP" everything works fine, but whene I add ramove/attach "k" only the "k" works, the "LetP" doesn't change.
Should I put it into a function? Or is there another reason?
Actually I just checked and the removeMovieClip doesn't work in both cases. Is that becouse actionscript is attached to object itself instead of a dedicated actionscript layer?
[URL] - which works fine on start, but I want to attach this function to only start on certain words at a certain event action. With what I got can anyone see how I can stagger the function to a specific event? Here is what I have so far, which starts the letter cycling, but it ends on the first letter and does not complete the full word:

In AS3 on Android is it bad from a performance perspective to attach mouse event listeners to individual sprites rather than to the stage? I am writing an app for an Android phone using AS3 in Flash Builder. The app has multiple screens that respond to user touch. The screens are arranged in a hierarchy and show list data so that when you click on an item in a list you are presented with a new screen with a new sub list on it.
I have been using an event listener to detect mouse / touch input and based on something I read that indicated that performance is much better if you keep the number of objects you are listening to to a minimum I have attached the mouse listeners from each screen to the stage object.
This all works fine but I am finding that as I move between screens (and they get popped or pushed onto the dislay stack) I have to keep track of alot of adding and removing listeners to the stage object. If I don't then windows higher up the hierarchy than the current screen keep receiving mouse events.
If I used listeners attached to sprites in each window then when the window was removed from the display even though it is kept in memory (ready to be popped back when a child window is closed) it won't receive any mouse events....
Performance doesn't seem to be impacted using listeners directly on sprites when using my HTC phone to test with, however I obviously don't know what it will be like on other phones. Does anyone have any experience either way or a view on the best approach?
how to eliminate previos attach before move to next attach MC..let say as u can see in my code..I just settign the interval..for 2 second..in other to attach the mc on eby one...so how to set up the code so that if the 2nd mc has attach it'll remove the 1st one attach for certain time...and so on..the scenario like this..
mc1 attach
after 2 second
mc2 attach --> remove mc1
after 2 second

First, click on the Abaco island shape on the map. You'll see on rollOver there is a glow around the island. Now click on that island and the glow remains for the zoomed-in detailed view. When you return to map and zoom back out, the glow is removed.
Now, compare this with clicking on the island name "Abaco" from the list on the right, instead of clicking directly on the island from the map. It zooms in and shows the details fine, but the glow that should be there is not.
The reason this problem is very perplexing for me, is that the onPress action of the list button in the right column calls the onPress function of the map button. So, theoretically they should do the EXACT same thing when pushed. But clearly they don't.
Here is the code for the button from the list on the right panel:
Code:
listAbaco_mc.onRollOver = function() {
_root.map_mc.abaco_mc.button_btn.onRollOver();
};
[Code]....
There is more code, for example rollOver, rollOut, and Press actions for the other island buttons, but they are all of the exact same format as the Abaco island button and they all have the same problem.
So, to recap, the problem is that the list button in the right panel do not function properly onPress, even though they are calling the onPress function of the island buttons directly, and the island button onPress function works perfectly. Strangely, all but one little thing works. So it's obviously getting to the correct functions and going through the code as planned, yet that one part about the glow is being ignored or otherwise messed up.
Can we add evvent listener to a text field?Like when you click on the text field it calls a function?
View 1 Replieshow to do this, but I was wondering if there is a way to do the following without setting up an event listener for each textfield...
I have a bunch of input textfields on the stage (50+).
I want flash to gotoAndStop at frame 5 whenever ANY of the text fields have something typed in them.
Possible to do without setting up 50 event listeners? Is it possible to just set up one event listener that is trigerred when any input field on the stage is changed?
mc that holds a rectangle and a dynamic textfield on it. Then I set some mouse events to drag the rectangle, but the textfield gets in the way and returns the error: property startDrag not found on flash.text.TextField and there is no default value.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to create a text effect using a custom class. The class receives refferences to the TextFields that I want to apply the effect to, an the effect should take place whenever the text is changed in these TextFields. The problem is that Flash doesn`t seem to provide a way of listening for the TextField.text event of a Dynamic TextField... Or does it? Just to clarify: On the stage I have a dynamic TextField named tText. I create a new instance of my class and call MyClass.addTarget = tText, which is supposed to tell my text effect class that it should apply the effect to tText, whenever the .text property changes.
PS: What I have tryied was TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, but apparently that`s for Input TextFields, whenever the user inputs some text. I change my text through code. I have also tryied Event.CHANGE, but that doesn`t seem to work either...
Is it possible to prevent/disable default behavior in input textfield on Keyboard.UP. [code]...
