ActionScript 3.0 :: Assigning Functions To The Keyboard
Aug 9, 2011I'm trying to get the arrow keys on the keyboard to control timeline navigation. The AS3 code i'm using works the first time, but then goes a bit crazy and stops working for some reason. Please see my attached fla. In the example you're supposed to be able to navigate along the timeline using the arrow keys (going back and forth) I'm sure there's a really easy solution to this problem but I'm new to AS3 and can't figure it out.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Nested MC's And Assigning Functions?
Aug 16, 2005I have a few rows of movie clips making a menu. Because I will be adding to the number of MC's I use a variable called "menuitems" and run a FOR loops to assign all of these MC's onrollOver, onrollOut and onRelease functions. I'm doing this to save having to assign these functions to them individualy (as they are the same functions). Its works fine, but when the MC is released it is told to jump to frame 2, where there will be nested mc's that need to be able to clicked and rolled over. Because the parent movie has event functions assigned to it they seem to overide them. Is there a way around this? I tried placing a transparent MC on the 1st frame of the movie and trying to assign the onRelease function to the "hotspot" but it doesnt work. Here is my code:
Code:
function buildthumbs () {
for (i=1; i<= menuitems; i++) {[code]...........

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Assigning Functions To Button Events Results?
Jun 25, 2009I am in the process of writing a scrolling image viewer that dynamically updates from an xml file. I have written the scroll function (with a lot of help from Kirupa and other sources), and the pictures are updating beautifully, but when it comes to adding the function for the buttons I am encountering an unusual error.
Using the following code:
Code:
initButtons=function(){
for (var i in btnArray) {
var btn:MovieClip = btnArray[i];

from this site results in the doClick function being called for each of the buttons in the btn array at runtime, and then not working afterwards.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamically Assigning An Event Handler?
May 16, 2005I'm creating a photo gallery script with 3 categories (people, places, and things). The 3 categories all share the same thumbnail movie clips whose onRelease handlers I want to change depending on whichategory is selected If you look at the newCat() function at the bottom of the script you'll see my comments as to what is happening and when Apparently the event handlers being assigned to the thumbnails are using the local variable 'pict' inside the 'newCat()'function which is being overwritten each time the function goes through a loop? Does anyone know why this is happening or another approach I can take?
Code:
//set up picture categories and file names
people = ['mittens.jpg', 'penny.jpg', 'selfportrait.jpg'];

Sep 15, 2009Most flash games and interactive animations that use keyboard events are made to respond in different ways to different keys.I am working on games for toddlers, who basically just bang on the keyboard indiscriminately. The trouble I'm having is setting up keyboard eventlisteners (key_up) that each perform different function.We're talking games like: when key pressed, ducky dances; when key pressed, doggy dances; when key is pressed, ducky and doggy go to sleep. I've attempted removing the listener before adding the next one:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters To Event Functions?
Dec 16, 2008I like reusing functions repeatedly so I pass the object to the function (blur, drop shadow, etc.) but if an Event or MousEvent function is involved, I have to do things I don't like. In my example, I had to put the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE function as a sub function of the setTimer function. I would rather keep the functions apart but I don't know how to pass a parameter to the event function to tell it what movieclip(timerObject) to fade in. Is there a better way to do this?

With the code mentioned below it works fine sometimes if I am not pressing any other key while it is performing one action but sometimes it behaves weird also. What I want AS3 to do is not to take any action or in other words it should not listen to keyboard until it finishes the opening or closing animation of a picture or any other object assigned to the key.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Question On Event Handling + Functions?
Jul 25, 2011I'm trying to write a function, that would load XML file when I click an object. Now, I want to have one function for all the objects, and just transfer the proper name of XML file each time I click a different object.So, I think it should look like:
Object1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LoadXML("XML1.xml"));
Object2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, LoadXML("XML2.xml"));
I'm not sure about "LoadXML("Xml1.xml") though.So I click Object1 - LoadXML with parameter "XML1.xml" is being called.Now, the LoadXML function would look like:
function LoadXML(evt:MouseEvent, urlXML:String):void{
some code
}
The problem is, that LoadXML has two parameters - how do I call it?I wrote in the beginning var evt:MouseEvent and just call LoadXML as LoadXML(evt, "XML1.xml")but then I get error message:"Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function"
ActionScript 3 :: Using Anonymous Functions As Event Handlers?
Dec 12, 2010I came to AS3 from JS world, and I should confess that anonymous functions are my weakness. I tend to use them everywhere. Now, coming to AS3 I've heard and read in lots of places, that AS and Flash are enormously bad at handling garbage collection, that one should empty, dispose and remove all event handlers and objects manually to avoid weird and unexplainable memory leaks and crashes. Not sure what part of this is true, but I would like to follow best practices right from the beginning. How bad is idea of using anonymous functions as event handlers? Consider for example a code like this:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function() : void {
controls.elapsed = stream.time;
});
Ccontorls.elapsed is the setter, which apart from setting current play time for video player, updates the whole UI, and stream is NetStream object, which streams the actual video. There are lot's of other places where anonymous function may make code cleaner and more intuitive. Check the following code for simple fade-in effect for the control bar:
public function showControls() : void {
var self:Controls = this;
if (!visible) {
visible = true;
fadeTimer = new Timer(30, 10);
[Code] .....
I totally like how it looks and fits into the code, but I'm concerned about leaks. While Event.ENTER_FRAME handler probably would never become harmful in this form, what about timer listeners. Should I remove those listeners manually, or they will be removed automatically, as soon as I set fadeTimer = null ? Is it possible to remove listeners with anonymous functions properly at all?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Why Are Functions With Event Listeners Firing Themselves Again
Aug 23, 2009I've had this glitch for a long time, and I've tried several ways to get rid of it, and now that I just recoded everything to see if it was something I did, it's back again! basically, whenever I press space (regardless of whether or not I am listening for a space press [or any key press]), the last function fired by an event listener will run itself again, with the exact same arguments supplied to it in the first time.
For example, if I make a simple button to trace("text"); and take you to another frame. Once you get to that frame you can press Space and it'll trace "text" again! I really have no idea what's causing this, and it doesn't seem to be happening to me in new files. and there's too much code to show you, but I just want to know if anyone has heard of this before or if they have any theories to what's going on.
