I 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)???
I'm trying to set up a keyListener that would activate and deactivate under certain circumstances. For instance, it needs to deactivate if a key is not pushed a short time after something unrelated happens.In order to do this, I'd need to have the removeListener method outside of the Listener function, but it doesn't seem to remove anything when it's not in the function. Is there something else I can do, or am I doing something wrong?
So 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?
I have two movie-clips, one is small-box and another is big-box .Both are rectangular shape. Small- box has an index 0, and big-box has an index 1. Their x,y are same and big-box being big in size gets hide small-box. Now the problem is the listener attached to small-box does not fire as big-box is on the top of small-box. what would be the way to get listener fired when click on small-box area??
I have a navigation between 2 scenes. Each scene has its own listener for different functions on same keys. The first play of each scene goes without problems. When i go back to the first scene the key.listener of scene 2 is active on this.I even added a null on the first scene to see if the keys are overwritten. But the keys behave as if i was on the second scene.
In my document class i add some eventListeners as such (has been made short for readability)

I've tried for several hours with defining a removelistener function as public static and then referencing that way and a lot of others, but nothing seems to work.
I have been stumbling on Events - specifically, broadcasting the events across different objects.
I want to be able to add an event listener on objects 1, 2, and 3; then, have object 4 dispatch one event type and have objects 1-3 correctly hear it and act.
For example, consider the following:
//this is my custom class package RedCirclePackage {
[Code].....
It works, and I get 3 Alert messages. Now, I understand that dispatching an event to a specific object will work (and thats why using the three lines of code above works), but I want to dispatch a general "foo" event using one line of code and give the ability for all objects to key off that "foo" call and not one specific object.
Is it possible to dispatch a general "foo" event and have ALL objects able to receive the call, or am I stuck with dispatching events for every specific object I want to receive it?
I want to be able to drag any of the 4 objects onto any of the targets, right now all I can manage is to allow each object drop onto one specific target only.
I thought by calling all my target names by the same instance name eg target_mc that would work but only one target will ever work.
I currently have an over, out and click event for 8 different objects. The over and out events are identical for each (tween expands object and then shrinks it back for the out state).I have previously asked for an easy way to declare those events, and now I was looking for an easier way to handle them.
Here's my code:
//-----------GARAGE function growGarage(e:MouseEvent):void{ scaleTweenX = new Tween(map_garage, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, 0.648, 1, 0.5, true);
[code]....
I've tried using a single function and then using "this" as the object of the tween but that expanded the entire stage.
I'm using TweenLite class (AS3), I have very big project, should I removelistener of timingSprite.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateAll, false, 0, true); in Tweenlite.as file, after my animation is complete? i'm affraid that ENTER_FRAME causes memory leak for my project.
I'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?
Sample code: buttonMode = true;useHandCursor = true; var rewind:Boolean =
How can i add an event listener to multiple movieclips using a for loop in AS3 so that when i click on a movieclip, flash traces the name of the clip i clicked. This would be it's equivalent in AS2:
Suppose I have a Movieclip and in that Movieclip I have several MovieClips I'm using as buttons.I want all the buttons to do the same thing when I MouseOver. Is there a way I can reference all children of a display container so that I can have a statement like MouseChildren.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RollOver, rollOverHandler) ?
I 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;
I 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.
Basically 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:
I have an interesting problem that I'm attempting to solve and I could use some pointers.Here's a basic run down of the AS3 script:[code]The problem is that the event listener always pulls the url from the last object in the array when you click any sprite (as would be expected).What is the best way to have the event listener only deal with the specific url of the specific iteration that creates it?
I 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.
I have need to simultaneously move a slider (called "shadeGrabber") movie clip and a mask. I'd like to do this by dragging the slider and seeing the mask move with it.
The example movie clip on the left (called "PICTURE_WIPE") is what I'm going for, but interactive instead. I'm working in the movie clip on the right (called "PICTURE_WIPE copy 2")
Here's my code, for quick reference (found on the "AS" in the "PICTURE_WIPE copy 2" movie clip:
I am building a scrolling image bar, so I've created code that works perfect on one object. However, I need this code to apply to multiple objects at once so that they will move left and right and resize independently from each other (to give this sort of 3d revolving look). Other boxes will be to left and right of the current black box. Code is below as well as link.
Code: function mousetracker(object){ boxstartx=object._x; boxstartwidth=object._width;
I am creating a small game for a project im doing it is only ten levels long but I wish to include feature such as saving etc. I have one some research on Shared Objects and it seems to be the best method. The idea I wish to execute is to have at the end of a level after reaching the levels goal have a piece of code that runs and saves that the next level has been unlocked. This seems relatively simple. However i have done things awkwardly i think, instead of creating the whole game within a single fla. each level is a seperate file, eg. level1.fla, level2.fla etc. Is it possible to use the same shared object across multiple .fla's?
Im trying to make a small game. Could someone take a look at the CS4 and CS3 fla files attached and tell me how to make the game reset when the red circle touches the block boxes.
I hv make a movieclip it's linkage name is thumbmc,I make its duplicate instances 10 times and load external thumbnail jpg's,I give names to these instances to th0... th9, all events and effects working fine but i m opening a large image while clicking on any thumb..the problem is.. i want when i click on any thumb then all thumbs will be fly and goes out of screen,, but when i try to tween then it shows error.. th0 object not found.......
code is like this // Making thumbs by this code for( var i:Number=0;i<9;i++ )[code].....
What I want to do is fade out several objects at once and when they finished a special function gets called. Are there other possibilities when using tweenlite available or do I have to use timelinelite?
