I'm having problems with calling a function triggered by onMouseDown.
Code:
_root.myMC.onMouseDown = function() {
_root.x = _root._xmouse;
_root.y = _root._ymouse;
startDrawing(270,75,x,y);
}
The idea is that the function 'startDrawing' only has to execute when I click on the mc 'myMC' which contains a (filled) square, a sort of a drawingboard. However, it also executes when I click anywhere else in my movie.
i have a:
Code:
_root.onMouseDown = function(){
someAction
[code].....
Is there a way to make the onMouseDown function also work within the MovieClips area in this code example? It seems like the two functions are conflicting.
attachMovie("nutrition","nutrition",4,{_x:715, _y:370});
nutrition.gotoAndPlay();
nutrition.onPress = function():Void{

I am making component with text field in it and I want to call some function on the onChanged event that trigger another function.
In case I define onChanged event on the following way everything is ok my_TextField.onChanged = function ()
{.....} but if I use listenerObject, function inside another function is not triggered.

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.
How can I get a function triggered by multiple triggers? For example, a function that is normally triggered by a condition but also needs to be executable independently with a mouse click.
View 3 RepliesWhat I want to do is take the basic functionality of this tutorial (card flipping) and trigger that action on the timeline to create an animated movie rather than something that a user with a mouse interacts with.flashandmath {dot} com/flashcs4/flip/index.html(the forum won't let me directly reference the tutorial I'm working with because i'm a new member)The tutorial uses a custom class, I'm guessing that i need to remove the eventListeners for the mouse events and call one of the functions on the timeline specific to the variables on the scene, like "card1.initApp();" ?

Look at the simple code below:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,traceMe);
function traceMe(evt:MouseEvent)

trace ("hello world!");
}
What if I want to pass a parameter to the traceMe function? There is a way to do that?
In _root exists function "path=load_Path()" which is triggered when an button is pressed. The result of this function can be "photos/folder1/image.jpg" or "folder1/textpage/" or any other path. What I'm trying to find out is how to get value of "path" automatically when it's changed or get callback whenever function "load_Path()" is triggered.
I don't have possibility to access this function because it's in _root SWF which I can't edit.reply.
i have actionscripted a movie which plays a function on export. i.e home() in the first frame. in that function i attach a movieclip which contains a background image of about 200kb. How would i preload that once it is attached to the stage in the function?
View 0 RepliesI am working on a presentation that has multiple scenes each having say 100 frames. Every 10 frames there is content on the stage, i.e. a 'slide'. There are left and right arrow buttons to take the user of the presentation forward and backward - much like a powerpoint presentation.Many of the 'slides' contain another button (instance name infoBTN) that can be rolled-over, and when this happens an info bubble pops up to display some information in the form of a graphic (instance name infoBubble).This operation works fine for one button, but I don't really want to have to call a new function and variable name and have new instance names on each subsequent frame that features a similar button with an identical operation.
how can I call the function just once and re-use it over and over again? There will only ever be one button of this nature on a given frame,This is the working code I have on the timeline for this particular frame:
Code:
// INFO BUTTON MOUSE EVENT
var fadeIn:Tween = new Tween(infoBubble, 'alpha', Regular.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.75, true);

Ok, I have 2 buttons on the stage. Each button does almost the same thing, so I want to create a single function, and each button calls that same function (we'll name that function "Navigate")... however, the function will need to end up doing something different dependant on which button was clicked.So, previously, in AS2, I would've added some code onto the buttons themselves with on(release) methods, like so:
Code:
// Define the Navigate function
function Navigate(myLabel){

Trying to migrate my way of thinking from AS2 to CS4/AS3. Ok, I have 2 buttons on the stage. Each button does almost the same thing, so I want to create a single function, and each button calls that same function (we'll name that function "Navigate")... however, the function will need to end up doing something different dependant on which button was clicked. So, previously, in AS2, I would've added some code onto the buttons themselves with on(release) methods (see CODE EXAMPLE 1) So, each button effectively calls the Navigate function, and passes a different frame label to the function. Now, I'm trying to recreate this functionality in AS3. As you all know, on(release) has been done away with (still don't know why), but we now have to use event handlers, so I'm trying to figure out a way to pass a different frame label argument to the Navigate function. Currently I can achieve that by using a switch statement to test which button was clicked, and act accordingly (see CODE EXAMPLE 2).

I have a bunch of event listeners that refer to different movieclips but trigger the same function.I have an if statement within this function that I need to trigger if the function is triggered by a specific movieclip.
ActionScript Code:

addChild(backgroundPoint);
backgroundPoint.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animateBall);

I know I could just create two separate functions but the code within the function (not shown here) is fairly long and I dont like repeating code.

I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
