ActionScript 2.0 :: Thumbnails Flickering On Mouse Events
Mar 9, 2009
We have an mp3 player that is based on multiple thumbnails. On rollover the thumbs move up, on roll out they move back down. The issue is that the button inside the thumb also moves up/down, so the thumb ends flickering. You can see it in action here: [URL] (keep the mouse at the bottom of the thumbnail, when you roll over the thumb). Should we increase the button size, detect the mouse position, add an interval or how would you go about this one? It's kind of tricky as we're trying to keep the same look and functionality of the mp3 player.

I created two swf's, A and B. A is a blank swf, totally. B is has one button on it. Now neither of the swf's has code, animation or any action in it. I open A and B separately in two different Safari windows. When I keep the button on SWF B in pressed state, the finger cursor flickers. Now if I close the window with SWF A and try it again, the mouse hand cursor doesn't flicker. Therefore this happens when two or more swf's are opened in different browser windows.
P.S >> Im using Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel

I wanted to pass on an experience that I had in the hopes that nobody else will have a late night like I had last night. I'm working on a flex app and in part of it I have a loader that loads a SWF vector image and adds it as a child to a sprite. No event listeners were added to either the sprite or the loader, but other children at the same level as the sprite and nowhere near the location of the sprite had event listeners. No big deal, right?
I started to notice that if I loaded the image from my local drive, it was fine but as soon as I loaded it from a remote source, it would flicker as soon as my mouse hovered over it.Again, no event listeners were applied to either of these two items.I figured out that even though there were no event listeners, the loader was stealing the MOUSE_OVER which was causing a seemingly unrelated event listener to fire, thus moving sprites and causing the flickering.The solution that I found was to forcibly add a mouseChildren = false to the parent sprite and POOF! No more flickering.

I have a problem with flickering mouse custom cursor. I have a timeline which is my main clip and I want to show a pencil like cursor when I am over the timeline movie clip. I am using standard Mouse events, MOUSE_OVER and MOUE_OUT, MOUSE_MOVE. Also I use Mouse.hide()/show() functions to show and hide the mouse.Also the same principal or the pencil movie clip which I show and Hide.
On MOUSE_MOVE is set the coordinates of the pencil movieclip to be those on the Mouse cursor. How ever I get a flickering of the mouse and the pencil movieclip while above the timeline movieclip. So they change from one to another all the time without stopping i.e filckering.

Right now all the sounds (78 of them) on my guitar play using the roll_over event but that doesn't give the user much control over what sound is played.
The actionscript im using to play my sounds is this;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++){
buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonRolledOver);
}
[Code]....
What i want to do is only play a sound with the roll_over event when the left click is held down.

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.

I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).

I have a movie clip I am using as a button (instance name btn1) and I added an event listener to it (using the following line): btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, animate1); the function "animate1" triggers some small animation when the mouse is over the movieclip. my problem is that the animation is triggered both on mouse over and mouse out events.

It has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)

I have a menu drawer at the edge of the screen that shows when the user rolls the mouse over it, but if the user overshoots it an moves the cursor slightly outside the browser window this is unfortunenatly registered as a mouse out.
I want to stop this by using event.MOUSE_LEAVE, but i need to use it as a condition not to triger a "leaveHandler".

I am looking to provide some UI functionality using the mouse- I have two distinct UI events to be achieved via mouse
a) change value
b) delete object
I don't seem to have sufficient mouseclick events for both. I am avoiding using the right click as it has some default options(whose signing off will affect the whole project- not just this). I have mouse click used for change value- how do I use the doubleclick as the single-click events seems to get invoked prior?

I followed a tutorial over at [URL] regarding scrolling thumbnails with the mouse pointer. Everything is working fine except the thumbnails are not stopping at the left and right x position that I have set. I'm tracing the x position of the thumbnail MC and it's showing that it's not changing, but the MC is definitely still moving. The code I'm using is:
Code:
panel.onRollOver = panelOver;
function panelOver(){
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;

I had uploaded jpeg file onto the stage using File->Import.Now, how to access the mouse-events using AS3.0. i.e., when we click with mouse on the stage it should display the x and y co-ordinates of the point being clicked.These x and y coordinates must be displayed in text-boxes provided down on the same stage.

I've just hit a really strange bug with a program I'm creating. The program allows the user to add shapes (currently all squares: SmallThing, MediumThing and LargeThing) to an area of the screen, then drag them about by clicking and draging using the mouse. Pretty simple. Unfortunately, the code seems to be failing for the smaller shapes (they're not THAT small, currently the smallest shape is 32 x 32) which are not generating mouse events at all. I have used trace statements to verify this. I am having a few issues with the larger shapes ocassionally not registering mouse up events, but I can live with this - the main issue is with the small shapes not being moveable.
All the shapes are descended from the same super class, and have the same event listeners added to them when they are created.
Here are the relevant functions in my Screen class. It's all pretty basic code so I really can't see what the problem is.

i have a question about the mouse down / mouse move events in Flash. I've developed a small intreractive that requires mouse co-ordinates to be captured when the mouse is down and when the mouse is moved anywhere on the screen. It was working fine like this until recently when I checked my interactive in Safari and it no longer recieves mouse co-ordinate information when the mouse cursor leaves the Flash interactive stage area.However, it still works fine in Firefox. Is there anything I can do to get this functionality back when using it in Safari?

I have another problem with my scroll pane. I now have a bunch of Loader objects that are used to display thumbnail images in a scrollpane. I want to add a MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER event so that when I a person rolls over an image there will be some buttons displayed, IE a remove button so the user can delete an image from the gallery. However my ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events are firing like CRAZY when I place my mouse over a picture. Right now I have the roll over and roll out events set to just hide the image (so I know that it's working). But all that happens is the image flashes....

I am making a custom scrolling list (smart phone like) in actionscript 3 and have the parent contianer catch mouseEvents for MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_ DOWN.Sometimes the mouse up event is missed, maybe one in 20. Does this happen if the events fire to rapidly? I do not want to use the MOUSE_ CLICK event beacuse if the mouse pointer moved at all I want the list to scroll and not catch a Click event.[code]Can I somehow ensure that all events are fired?Or if not can I somehow get mouse button states directly from flash? Not via the mouse event object, but in onEnterFrame().

I am trying to trigger two events with a mouse click. I have a filmstrip MC with 6 images (shows three until you click one of the buttons) and I have a left and right arrow in its own MC these are both in the main MC and the action script is located in the main on layer called actions. My code is as follows�
//event listener for the filmstrip left and right navigation
leftRight_MC.leftBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, leftNav);
function leftNav (event:MouseEvent):void
[code]....
The desired effect is to show the button which will get the filmstripMC to move as an active button and the other one as dead.I have tried an eventListener in the leftRight_MC to trigger the different states and it is buggy. It will go to the left but not to the right.

i have a series of MCs with glow filters applied to them that grow in size when moused over. however when they are "moused over"/as the mouse crosses the "borders" of the shapes to gain focus the "growing" animation is not smooth, it like jerks around a bit as the mouse crosses the borders before the animation actually happens. i set all of the MC's to mouseChildren=false so i know it has something to do with the effect. it seems that happens with most of the effects i've tried.
does anyone know how to make the mouse NOT interact with the effect/filter?

I have a solid movie clip that is overlayed with a grid movie clip. Actually they are sprites. The solid sprite underneath has a MOUSE_OVER event. I have set mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on the grid sprite to false so that it receives no events. The problem is that when I go over a grid line the sprite underneate still receives the MOUSE_OUT and then the MOUSE_OVER event again. Is there anyway to make the grid completely transparent to the mouse so that it won't trigger the MOUSE_OUT and MOUSE_OVEr events for the sprite underneath over and over?
