I have a flash file which uses asp to connect to a mysql database. Is there some way to add an event listener which will send a notification to the user when the connection to the server has been lost?I was thinking of just setting a timer so every 10 seconds it runs an asp file which checks if there is still a connection.
View 1 RepliesSo, we want to move out from Air (Adobe stopping support and really bad implementation for the sqlite api, among other things). I want to make 3 things:
Connect with a flash (not web) application to a local mysql database.
Connect with a falsh (not web) application to a remote mysql database.
Connect with a flash (web) application with a remote mysql database.

if you can connect with socket wit mysql server, why use a web server (for example with php) to connect like a inter connectioN? why not connnect directly? I have done this a lot of times, using AMFPHP for example, but wouldn't be faster going directly? In the case of accessing local machine, it will be a more simple deploy application that only require the flash application + mysql server, not need to also instal a web server.
i have been trying to execute a simple flash program that communicates with a php page which is linked to a mysql database. somehow the php is not returning any data to flash , and even falsh is not sending any data to php.. I am using wamp server on win7.

I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.
View 3 Repliesif I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.
View 3 RepliesI'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.
View 1 RepliesThis is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.
I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:

how can i access event.target outside event listener method.say for example
my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onC);
function onC(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var m:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip;
}
trace(m.totalframes);/// not working
now what if i want to get totalframe property of m instance, in short for every movieClip clicked.
I am doing this inside a module containing viewstacks and their childs.Calling onInit() on creationComplete of module.When I am inside one of the childs of a viewstack of this module and press Enter, it doesnt not invoke the listener function at all (bp inside this does not get hit).
private function onInit():void{
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
}[code]..........
This might be more of a subjective question, but is it generally best practice to have one dedicated method per event-types that you add an event-listener?
Such as:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
//Somewhere else in the code...
[Code].....
And if you had a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and other relevant MouseEvents event-listeners to watch for, you could even set a switch statement to handle all the various MouseEvent types.
I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
test01.abtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.bbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.cbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);[code]....
It is only targeting the movie clip, not the buttons inside the movie clip.

I have a code in AS3 that works when you rollover it. I need to use the same code but not with an eventlistener for a mouse event but a frame event when the timeline plays the clip

I am loading some SFWs to my main application then I lose connection with the internet...
I tried the following:
myLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, IOErrorEventHandler);
public function IOErrorEventHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void{ trace ('Error, connection lost');}
I simulated the breaking connection by hosting the SWFs files in a network, when it is loading them I disconnected the network cable.
But the trace don't come out.
Is there a way for me to caugh an event that shows me that they cannot be loaded becouse im not connected anymore?
Why the Close Event is not dispatched after I disconnect my wifi connection? Or any way to determine if the connection is active.

I'm building a center stage object and I wanted to know if there's any way to add a event listener that checks if the children have changed in size.[code]This seems like it should be available but I can't find a reference.

View 11 RepliesI have a rollover function that sets alpha values, and i also have a click function that sets the alpha even higher on click. I also have a roll out function to return it to normal when roll out. The thing is i want it to hold the high alpha value on click because that is the web page is selected. It works, but the second i rool out or roll over, it sets the value back. [code]...
View 13 Repliesi have my main swf that loads different swfs for content.on a portfolio page i have two buttons web and print.by default print loads first.
but lets say someone has entered my portfolio and while print is loading the user clicks on web, the print has not done loading so its even listeners will not be removed causing a clash with my web swf pre loader and letting it work.
Can we add evvent listener to a text field?Like when you click on the text field it calls a function?

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 =

stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clicSouris);
function clicSouris( pEvt:MouseEvent ):void { var positionX:Number=pEvt.stageX; var positionY:Number=pEvt.stageY;

what appens when I add an Event Listener to Object Event?
Following the logic with the display list in AS3, I thought only Classes who inherit flash.display.InteractiveObject could react from events coming from mouses (or keyboard).
