ActionScript 2.0 :: Navigation Class With ON State
Feb 17, 2006
I have used this navigation script several times in regular flash coding without problems (as in functions). Now I'm trying to put this code in a class for easier usage in future projects.Concept of the code is that I pass the instance of the mc in an variable so that I have an old and new location for enabling and disabling a "ON" state in an mc (vars : OldLocation && NewLocation).This is pretty basic stuff but I can't get it to work inside a class..Offcourse at the first click you will get an undefined because of no instance defined yet (I define it in the fla file).[code]

I have instantiated a class (class1) that loads some data via PHP in an AS3 Flex project.I instantiate class1, which is asynchronous and utilizes a URLLoader() to obtain its data.Then I would like to instantiate class2, which needs to USE the data from class1, but when I simply instantiate it I find that class1's instance variable is not populated yet because I am calling class2 too quickly.How can I create such a dependency that will link correctly?I am really new to using listeners, but I am imagining a listener in class2 might be what I need?Or maybe I can pass a reference to the listener in class1 into class2?I also know nothing about dispatching events... is this the key?Here's an example in pseudo code:
var class1:myC1 = new myC1("http://some/url/to/utilize");
//this never shows up because it hasn't loaded at the time i request it
trace("the stuff from class1 is: ", class1.myXMLList);

I want to build a flash based website and place there 4 button MovieClip instances. Once the user clicks a button, all the EventListeners the button attached to (Mouse_OVER, Mouse_OUT, CLICK) are removed until you click another one. Then the previous button gets these listeners back again. One button is always active at a time, so you can't turn on/off buttons.I thought it would be easier to write a ButtonClass and link the button MovieClip to it. But I had to realize that I can't listen that previous button from that class, because it only listens itself obviously. I'm trying to use "dispatchEvent" but I can't get it to work.In the flash movie I have only one frame, 'cause I'm trying to do this without the timeline. I want to use Classes and this and that to practice but I'm stuck with this problem.

I have a VideoDisplay instance playing some video. When I click on the video slider (also my component) the property videoDisplay.playheadTime is set and the videoDisplay.state goes from 'playing' into a 'seeking' state for a brief moment (the videoDisplay seeks for a new position and then plays the video again). Intended bevaiour. But if I'm (or any random user) fast enough, I can set the playheadTime again while the player is still in 'seeking' state. When repeated several times every click is enqueued and the videoDisplay jump on every place of the video I have clicked(this is happening in an interval about 10-15 second after my last click). When I use live dragging the videoDisplay, overwhelmed by seekings, goes into 'error' state.My question is - is there any way to cancel seeking state of the VideoDisplay class? For example player is in 'seeking' state, I set playheadTime, and the player forgets about last seeking and try to find the new place of the video.

I'm making an app with pages set out as classes which extend the MovieClip class.
What I've got are back buttons and different pages which go to the same page, however... If I end up going out of a page and back into a page (specifically one with drawn squares and dynamic text boxes called from a web service), it seems to have kept all of the original information.
So far I've tried killing all of the children with a while loop targeting the index and also using weak event listeners - neither is working!

menu.menu_buttons.about_us.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, about_us_onClick);
function about_us_onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
middle.gotoAndPlay(215);

1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.How can i make this work?

how this sort of navigation works: [URL] (you have to enter the site). I see this sort of thing used a lot and I would like to implement a simple version of this. I am assuming it is using the tween class and moving a movie clip based on coordinates.

So I want to create a timeline nav like this site:timeline is a 40 x 40px color filled movie clip that use as the playhead.featContent is the movie clip that contains the feature content.I make the timeline controls the feature contents to slide (using tween class) to the next feature. No problem on this, but I can't make the feature to slide when click on the button.
Code:
function loadFeature(node){
var m = 0;

I hope this isn't faux pas, but I'm making the transition from AS2 to AS3 and was wondering if I'm on the right track with this class. One question in particular I have is, I'm storing a reference (I think it's just a reference and not a copy) of "curTab" in order to keep track of the currently selected tab in this UI navigation. Is this using unnecessary memory and is there a better way to do this?

I'm currently putting together a navigation that will be XML driven. The broad outline of what I'm trying to do is:XML > Custom XML parser class > Native Actionscript representation > Abstract Navigation Class > Concrete Navigation Class.The concrete Navigation class would have setter methods to allow you to skin it's appearance using display objects.
Code:
setButtonUpState(upState:DisplayObject)
This is fine if the Display object is purely Class based and draws itself programatically,

I have a flash map that contains 51 movieClips, one for each state.Sample instanceName for a state (Alabama) would be: S_01
I have a XML record that contains specific info for each state.<stateID>01</stateID
I am trying to link the stateID's in the XML record to the state movieClips that make up the map.var stateInstanceName = 'S_' + stateID;
I was just trying to do a simple trace command to see if I could pull the _width of each state clip to see if I was linked up:
trace(mapInstance.stateInstanceName._width)

It's my understanding that view states can be useful when switching the layout of design elements. Such as, a loading page as one state and the main application design in another state. Is this the correct use of them? Additionally, I have a label in State1 and I cannot figure out how to access that label via actionscript. labelID.text = "New Text"; is not working.

I need to add a rollover effect to the disabled state of a Spark button. This way, users can rollover the button and know why the button is disabled.I think I would have to override ButtonBase's getCurrentSkinState. Is there anyway to test if a mouse cursor is over a disabled button?

I'm using Flex 4.5 and trying to take advantage of the new state groups feature. I have two States (call them readType1 and readType2) that both belong to the same stateGroup (call it readOnly). There are several places where I'd like to do something based on the current state, and it would be the same thing for the two read states. [code]...

// This is an array, a list of the buttons used. var myButtons = [this.myButton_1, this.myButton_2, this.myButton_3, this.myButton_4]; // Loops on all buttons from the first to the last one for (var i=0; i<myButtons.length; i++) { // When the mouse rolls over this menu option... reduce size just a bit. // NOTICE: I'm not taking into consideration the problem of having the hit area going down and "moving" the // mouse area and out of the button (possible rollover flicking). This is just a simple example afterall.
[Code]...
In the above instance how would I address the problem of flickering? I think want to apply the .onRollOver to an invisible button instead. How can this be done? Im just getting started with tweening animations outside the timeline with MCTween

I want to fade all the elements of the next state when transitioning from any state.I tried different things but I can't get it to work. And I don't want to manually add transitions for every state.
Something like:
<s:Transition fromState="*" toState="*">
<s:Fade target="*" duration="500" />
</s:Transition>

In my view I have a welcome screen:
[Code]...
Which is a pretty small component and I have panelContainer:
[Code]...
Whilst the user is reading the warm and fuzzy welcome note in the welcome state I want to be creating the big expensive panels state so taht when we switch there is no delay. Before the panels state is set panelView is null but I presume there must be an IDefferredInstance floating around somewhere that I can use to kick off the creation of the view. How can I get hold of it?

I am trying to get converted to Actionscript 3 from AS2.In old versions of flash, you simply placed the sound in a keyframe inside the button on the over or down state. Worked fine, but not anymore.I guess the sound must be set up with actionscript and a listener.I understand linkage. how to make one sound on the over state and a different one on the down state?

Like most Flex/Flash Builder developers, I have been using the dispatchEvent method to communicate between different classes of an application. And, that works fine, but, I have been toying with a different idea about inter-class communications and would like you to shoot it down, if you can.
Why not have an application "state" class, instantiated as a singleton, which holds the information that is needed by the application's various classes? Examples would be current user and session, currentState of the parent application, selection criteria, data providers, etc. Each class would, of course, have to be aware of this state class. Each class in the application would post its relevant state to this "state" class, and likewise each class could establish listeners for changes to the relevant objects therein.
It just seems to me that, rather than dispatching events, setting up listeners that in turn fire off a listener method, I could instead bind, for example, a datagrid to the state class' relevant data provider, or whatever is needed. In other words, all "listening" and binding is performed against a single state class.

I have a sub menu with two movie clip buttons, let's call them mc1 and mc2. They both have a MOUSE_OVER event and a MOUSE_OUT event. What I would like is that when mc1 is clicked it will stay in the over state and then if mc2 is clicked mc1 will go back to the out state while mc2 stays in the over state.What seems to be happening in my code is that the MOUSE_OUT event is overriding the MOUSE_DOWN event. So when I take the mouse off after I've clicked mc1 the over state goes away.
Here's my code thus far:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.*
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mc1_over);

I have a rectangular shaped button. When someone rolls over it, I want a text bubble to appear to the side of that button. The problem is, the mouse thinks it's over the button even if it's over the side bubble which does not exist in the "Up" state. How can I get the cursor to only detect a button ONLY if it's over any part of the "Up" state and not the "Over" state (which because of the side bubble is larger than the original "Up" state.)
Here is a screenshot of the two button states.[URL]... Even if the cursor rolls over the "Over" bubble (and not the Up state), the Over state still shows up.

only issue i'm having is that if i drop the item in the zone requiring a change, and pick the item back up, it combines the shapes. I'm thinking I need to have the if statement more universal. I've uploaded my fla to rapid,I'll put my coding below as well.
backbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backclick);
helpbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, helpclick);
answerbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, answerclick);
