I just basicly need a small example of script of attachMovie Do something then removeMovie I am trying to understand advanced Fuse [URL] and can make things do stuff now, but not sure how to make the code listen to timed events.
[Code]...
I was wondering if it was possible to make a small script in Jquery that would change an image at a certain time. For my site, I want the image for the opening and closing of a facility to change when it opens and closes. Is this possible with Jquery or should I go with something else? Actionscript/Flash? I can't use PHP on the site...
View 3 RepliesDoes anyone know if it's possible to listen for all events fired from an object without having to specifically listen for each one?
View 5 RepliesI have an SWF that has been provided to me that I need to load. Inside that SWF are two buttons ("cancelButton" and "proceedButton"). Is there any way that I can add event listeners to these buttons from within my action script after I have loaded the SWF or do I need to get the SWF creator to create event listeners on the buttons that can bubble to me?
View 5 RepliesA swf (my game framework) loads another swf (a game). The game is loaded into a child domain which seems to be the default domain for loaded swfs.
The framework listens for custom events bubbling up from the game. However, the framework only receives events dispatched directly from the games document class but not from any of the games children.
Bubbling is set to true on everything, but it's not working? Is it only possible to dispatch events from the document class of the loaded swf.
swf(Framework -> listen) -> swf(game document root -> child) = no go!
I'm trying to detect when pop ups are visible (including tool tips if possible). The reason is that I need to hide or freeze (capture a snapshot) the Stage* components (StageWebView, StageVideo, StageText etc) when pop ups appear.
View 1 RepliesI just started to use classes in AS3. I stuck to event handling between classes. That's what I want to do, but don't know how to do it:
1) set up event listener in a child class
2) when this event in the child class is triggered, the child class, the parent class and several other child classes respond to the event.
There is my scenario:
I have a BorderContainer that is contained by a Scroller.
Question :
How can i make my BorderContainer to listen for Scroler events?
e.g. When i scroll down or up, or right or left, i want to change my BorderContainer's cordinates(x, y).
I'm using an accordion container that has it's creation policy set to auto. One of the accordion's children is a spark border container that has a data grid within it. Currently, I'm using the data grid's creationComplete property to call a function; similarly, I'm using the dragComplete property to call another function.
How can I add listeners for events (creationComplete & dragComplete) via actionscript? The obvious problem is that the accordion does not create all its children on creation (nor do I want it to), so I can't simply use something like: datagrid.addEventListener(...)
Is there a way that a flex based application (in the browser or AIR) can listen to windows events (or any other OS) when it is not in focus?Lets say that my AIR application is minimized and I want her to be notified when ever new data was copied to the clipboard?
View 1 RepliesIs this the most efficient way to listen to mouse events on the background of a group?
<s:Group width="200" height="100" rollOver="group1_rollOverHandler(event)" rollOut="group1_rollOutHandler(event)">
<s:Rect width="100%" height="100%">
<s:fill>
<s:SolidColor alpha="0"/>
</s:fill>
</s:Rect>
</s:Group>
seems pretty minimal, but alpha = 0 is not the most efficient thing out there.
I'm trying to listen for events sent from my main movie swf from inside a preloader shell swf.Inside Preloader.swf, I load my Main.swf in the traditional way, with a loader object and I listen for progress events on that. These progress events make my preloader bar scaleX increase, like normal. But, I have an XML file and an image that load inside of my Main.swf as soon as it is loaded. I would like for these unloaded bytes to be shown in my Preloader.swf before the Main.swf gets added to the stage.right now, I am sending the totalBytes from the XML file and the image to my Main.swf document class, which, in turn, dispatches a custom "PreloaderEvent" that holds the total number of bytes.
In Preloader.swf, I add an event listener to the loader ( which holds main.swf ), listening for that PreloaderEvent.Can events be heard in this manner and is this the best way to be preloading this type of file ( one where main.swf loads in the first frame, then starts loading of external images after the swf is running ).I'm just not sure how to get all of those extraneous bytes into one location for my preloader to see at the same time.
I came to some misunderstanding how to use events. LOL. I thought I understand it but as I see I dont.
I've got a Engine document class where Hero is added, and Cannon object too. In body of Hero I need to dispatch event when Hero reaches some point or particularly a pitfall, so I've got static const string to handle it:
[Code]...
but this way I would end up with dozens of handlers in the Engine body class, and I am trying to minimize this class as it is big enough without those handlers. I am stunned and suprised, and I am noob again. Maybe someone will clear out how to get custom events working/... and why only instance of object that dispatches an Event can hear it (my case).
Are there suggestions for code that will essentially listen for (or test) for mouse clicks on 3 separate buttons. Once all the correct 3 buttons have been released, I want a to trigger a final event(load a 4th movie clip). I can't stop thinking in terms of IF (all event 1 + event 2 + event 3) THEN load movie. But I know that isn't AS3 way to do it, any better understand way to do it with event listeners (but not too complicated!)
View 1 RepliesI am writing a flex application and I have two Spark TextAreas. I want to create an EventListener so that when the user clicks on a text area, the text inside the TextArea is cleared:
this.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onFocusIn);
private function onFocusIn(ev:FocusEvent):void {
if (this._showsCaption) {

Currently I can implement this with a Spark TextInput, but when I click on the TextArea, the focusIn event never fires and the onFocusIn() handler is never called.
Is there a way to listen movie clips itself for keyboard events instead of stage.addEventListener ??I work on a project a kind of game and ı need mymovie clips on stage rotate with keyboard events such as KEY_DOWN key.code LEFT or RIGHT.I tried to add event listener my MC but it didn't work.If I listen to stage every Movie Clip in my stage start rotation same as the others.What should I do?

How do I listen to an event dispatched from non-display-list concrete objects which are created by a singleton factory class?
An example would be where I want to create tweens for objects using a TweenFactoryClass. In my Main.as class I have this:
ActionScript Code:
TweenFactoryClass.instance.tweenMe( myClip, 200, 200 );
then, in my TweenFactoryClass.as, I have:
ActionScript Code:
public function tweenMe( clip:DisplayObject, xLocation, yLocation ):MyTween
{
var tween:MyTween = new MyTween();
[Code].....
I don't know where I should add the listener to be able to hear that event that was dispatched from the MyTween class.
Imagine you have a MC used as a container for several other MC's used as buttons.Now, should I use the class of the container to listen for and to dispatch events. OrShould I create a seperate class for each MC inside of the container to listen for and to dispatch events.
In summary: One class for all, or several smaller classes dedicated to their respective MC.How far should one go with abstraction?.

I am trying to set a timer when no activity removeMovie and attach screen saver. I am trying to use a global var so that I can reset the count. Here is my AS what can I do to reset my timer.
[Code]...
I have tried to grasp this concept, but cannot believe the cluster F that as3 has done with loading a swf and then removing it.Whereas in As2, you would simply loadMovie into a movieClip's instance name. If you wanted it gone, you could simply replace it with something new, or unloadMovie. Simple.Now...to even load a movie in...you have to create variables, create a movie clip, create a loader, then create a url request, then load that url request into the loader, then addchild so that the loader is on the stage? And to remove it, is next to impossible.So here is my code..
function loadMovie (){
var my_mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader();[code]....
That code when tested gives me....Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller. When I try to run the removeMovie function.
Long time flash "dabbler" who has avoided using scripts as long as possible. But now finds himself having to use CS4 and AS3.
I have a situation that would have been easy to handle in older version of Flash or Swish. Previousely if I had an imported FLV or SWF that was 7 seconds long at 20 FPS I would have gone to frame 140 and set a getURL action to redirect to a webpage at the end of the movie.
But with CS4 & AS3, this is not so simple anymore.
I have a button that when pressed successfully invokes the navigateToURL parameter when pressed. But at the same time I am playing an FLV in the background that is 7 seconds long.
What I need to do is have a timed event that at the end of 7 seconds (7000 milliseconds) then invokes the navigateToURL function.
how to accomplish this? I have looked all over and have not seen anything that accomplishes this.
Here is what i have as my script on frame 1 in my actions layer including some timed event scripting
stop();
// We need to import the utils packageimport flash.utils.*;
// Create a new Timer object with a delay of 7000 msvar introTimer:Timer = new Timer(7000);introTimer.addEventListener("timer", timedFunction);

I am building a slide show in Flash 4. I have a series of slides that I want to automatically advance from slide to slide in order after 10 seconds. Is there a slide control in flash for this? Is there an actionscript for this?
View 1 Repliesi have 5 images i wish to use for the slideshow, but i have no idea what to insert in the actionscript so that once the page loaded, the image will change in the order like (1 to 2 to 3 ... ) every 10secs and when i click on the image it will also load the next image without waiting for that 10secs.and which frame do i insert the actionscript code?
View 5 RepliesI have 5 buttons on my scene and each one fades to a different image. I need a timer that will automatically go to the next image after 10 seconds.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to construct a timed loop... so far without success.What I need is a loop where iteration 0 + i + 1 starts a few seconds after iteration 0 + i. I tried putting a timer inside the loop but the loop seems to simple skip the timer instead of executing it sequentially before starting the next iteration. Here is the code snippet:
Code:
var iTimer : Timer;
for( var i:int = 0; i < 2; i++ )
{
trace( i + " i iterations" );
[code]....
The loop does not seem to wait for jLoop() to be executed. It speeds ahead onto the next iteration, instantiating a new timer and thus screwing up the timing of the iterations. I have tried different things like putting break and continue statements in there but to no avail.
I have been trying to come up with a way to have a Timer of which I can modify the Tick time between executions. I have the tick amount as a variable but it seems like the Timer just evaluates that variable once at the start and then ignores it. I've tried adding and removing the EventListeners in between modifying the tick variable but that does not in any way affect the original Timer. For the project I am using this in I cannot simply have a second or third timer to enable with different variables seeing as I would need upwards of 30 of them to do it that way. Can anyone point me in the direction of a way to have a variably timed Timer?

Problem is that i want to catch messageClientDestroyed and send to that destination a message that the user has disconnected.But blazeds destroys messageClient when you add a subtopic.So how to understand that if session is invalidated and all messageClient are being destroyed or the user just enter another place and add a subtopic to his consumer. I'am also open for other solutions to implement that mechanism.When user disconnected by session timeout or closed the site browser etc. i wanna catch it and send a message to subscribed destinations.
working on a project which has a number of buttons, when the user rolls over one of these buttons the alpha value decreases to 0 to reveal a image on a lower layer.What I would like to do is gradually restore the alpha back to 100% after the user has moved the cursor off a button. However, I dont want the alpha to restore to 100% straight away, I would like there to be a few second delay before the alpha starts restoring, is this possible, and if so how would I go about doing it
