ActionScript 2.0 :: [FlashCS3] Dynamically Loaded MovieClips Don't Respond To Mouse Events?
Apr 29, 2008
I'm trying to place 5 instances of a horizontal line (mcLine) starting at 78% from the top of the Stage. This all works fine, but I want to be able to have these dynamically created MovieClip instances register mouse events and they don't.First the setup of the mcLine instances:
var nFirstLineY:Number = (Math.round(Stage.height*.78));
var nLineSpace:Number = 22;
var nWaitTime:Number = 1000;[code]...
If I place instances of the mcLine MovieClip on the stage and name them line_1, line_2, etc., the function LineVibrate works, but when I try to add the instances at run time as above, the LineVibrate function stops working.

I have a banner with big invisible button covering the stage and underneath it I have movieclips which must respond to mouse events. But I can't get through invisible button. I only get button events and cant interact with movieclips underneath it. Here's simple code:
invisibleBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTopClick);
bottomMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onBottomOver);
function onTopClick(e:MouseEvent):void{

I am loading an external SWF using the Loader class, and adding it to the stage with addChild.When trying to add a mouse click event listener to the MovieClip, using addEventListener, nothing happens, the event never fires.Is there a specific way to add listeners to externally loaded movie clips?My code looks somewhat like this:
var target:MovieClip = assets["screensaver"] as MovieClip;
target.root.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickScreenSaver, true);
addChild(target);
The target shows up on the display, but the CLICK event is completely ignored.

I'm making a Flash game (which is basically a version of the same game), and I've used a tileList for the board populated with movieClip pieces. I would like the pieces to respond to mouseOver, mouseOut, and mouseClick events. From looking at other question/answers, I get the idea I'll need a custom imageCell. Is that the way to go. I was hoping I could get the responses I want by putting the actions into the movieClips themselves as below, but that doesn't seem to work. (btw I'm new to the community but have wound up here several times from Google searches

if I attach two movie clips MC1 and MC2 on the stage.MC1 has a simple button also. MC2 is transparent.First I attach the MC1 and then I attach MC2. Both on the stage. So obviously, MC2 is added over the MC1. In this situation, I cannot click the button which is place in the MC1.If Im not wrong, in AS2, if the MC2 is transparent, the button in the MC1 can still respond to the mouse events.

I am working on a game engine that works like an overhead RPG, but the terrain is drawn at an angle with the characters at the same angle to give the illusion of a 3D world. the problem I am running into is that, while I can get the character to move perfectly fine on the ground, I need to be able to set the character to go behind or above certain objects depending where he is.
The best example of what I am trying to accomplish is from Gaia's MMO.
[URL]
As you can see in the first frame of the image, the character is in front of the bush, but behind the lamppost. In the second frame he is both behind the lamppost and bush. In the last frame, he is in front of both the lamppost and bush. during all of this though the bush and Lamppost never change position with the terrain or each other.
Basically, I have come to the conclusion that I believe the way this RPG is able to do this is through distance detection and depth swaps.
ex. if distance is above 0 character is above object. if distance is below 0, character is below object.
The main I would like to accomplish with this is the character, enemies, and NPC's are the only thing that changes depth. why? If an enemy is following and is on a different depth then the character, possibly higher or lower then the object, it could appear above or below the object while the character is the opposite.

I have a movieclip that contains other movieclips, however the nested movieclips don't seem to detect mouse events.Via searching, I found that only the parent can detect these events, but is there a way to pass the mouse click from the parent movie clip to the children? I want to have a small movieclip. When you rollover it, it scales up, and then you should be able to click other various things on it. When you rollout, it scales back down.If this is not practical, what's the best way to keep a movieclip "attached" to another and scale, without childing them?

I have some nested movieClips. I've got an event listener on the parent listening for a mouse click. Problem is, the listener never picks up the click.[code]On movieClipStack, I can see that mouseEnabled = true. In addition, buttonMode = true works exactly like it's supposed to. But onStackClicked never happens - movieClipStack just isn't detecting any sort of mouse event.

I have a Group on my View, and i'm trying to fill it with some collor and add an mouse event on it, all dynamicaly.the problem is, when i add the mouse event, the group simply turns invisible again. It still exists on the view and responds normally to the mouse event, but i cant see it.here's an code example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()" >[code]......
without the mouse event, the group is visible, but it vanishes when i try to add it. i've tried with other events, like the ENTER_FRAME Event and it works normaly, but all the mouse events that i tried turn the Group invisible.i've actually solved my problem using the opaqueBackground property, the Group don't vanish when i add the event this whay. But now i'm curious about the reason of this behavior.

I want my flash movie to respond to rollover type events for links on my website. The idea being that the flash movie will provide descriptions of the links when moused over, but if the user doesn't have flash the functionality isn't lost. What's the best way to do this (if it's possible)?

This code doesn't do anything when I rolled over...

}

I have an external swf I created, I used the Document Class to place assetts from the library onto the stage. I have a few Movie Clips I set the buttonMode to true on and added a few MouseEvents for when they're clicked on or rolled over to load content and make a few draggable.
It works perfectly in that swf, but since most of my assets are in the library and exported on Frame 1 I can't really use an internal preloader on it. So what I did was create an external swf that all it is is a loader that I add to the stage that loads the first swf I created.
That works perfectly for getting it on the stage, but the Movie Clips no longer are recognized as buttons and the mouse events aren't working anymore.
Is there anything I can do to change this?
Here is the code I'm using to load the external swf:
Code:
var a:URLRequest = new URLRequest("timeline2.swf");
var b:Loader = new Loader();
b.load(a);

I have SWF files that I load into my flash movie and those SWF files sometimes have mouse events that can interfere with dialogs and buttons in my flash movie.

I have a script that loads images and text from an XML file into movieclips.The following code is what creates the movieclips that contain the elements:

var img_mc:MovieClip = thumb_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("img", 0);
I can't seem to find a way to target the thumb_mc or the img_mc so they have rollover effects and actions (they are created for each set in the xml file, so there are multiple mc's)mc_conteudo is the content mc that scrolls.The swf is here: http:[url].....

I am using attachMovie in a for(var i=1; i<50; i++) loop.Everything loads fine, but I am having difficulty referencing the dynamically created instance names.I don't want to reference individually ie movieclip1, movieclip2 etc.but more by movieclip[i].Basically - if movieclip instance 1 is rolled over I want to display image 1, and so on?

I have a flash project where different movie clips are loaded dynamically according to the data retrieved from an XML file. And they are positioned one after the other as if they were in a menu. Inside those movieclips there is a button that when it's triggered unloads the movieclip so it disappears from the menu/list. Apart from that, I would like the rest of the attached movie clips to tween and move upwards, so the list keeps its form. I'm finding quite difficult figuring out this function. I'm copying the code I'm using :
Code:
var numOfItems: Number;
var i: Number;

I've created a drop down list and populated it with dynamic buttons. (I made a DropDown_btn class with a dynamic text field in it and then filled the button text from an xml file). On rollover I tint the button blue and then set the tint back to black on rollout. When you click on the button I'd like it to stay blue until a different button is clicked.
I thought on CLICK I'd run a function like this:
ActionScript Code:
function removeRollover(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.target.transform.colorTransform=c;
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOut);
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver);
}
...and then I need to addEventListeners back to any button that doesn't have them and set that button back to black. I could do this by looping through an array of the buttons but I can't figure out how to access them as objects.
I also gave them each a property of "buttonValue" when I loaded them so I can access event.currentTarget.buttonValue (which in this case is a number from 1-5) but once again I can't figure out how I might leverage this information.

In my ongoing quest to learn AS3 I am rewriting some of the many, many interactives I have done in AS2. There have been several AS2 interactives where I have used a map of California. The map itself is a movieclip and within that movieclip, all the counties are movieclips that function as buttons and above the counties are the county names which are also movieclips. In other words when you mouse over the counties they do things; the most simple being the county name alpha goes from 0 to 1. In AS2 all the movieclips respond to roll overs even though they are physically obscured by other movieclips within the main map movieclip.
In AS3 the county movieclips (which are on the lowest layer within the main map movieclip) are obscured by other movieclips on higher layers and do not respond to Roll Overs etc. When I move the county movieclips to the highest layer within the main map movieclip, they work just fine. Of course then they obscure all the map details such as roads, labels, etc. Is there some setting to allow movieclips to be read through other movieclips that are physically above them within a main movieclip.
