ActionScript 2.0 :: Cannot Delete The Last Hyphen Only Because Flash Is Constantly Adding The Hyphen Through The Listener
May 22, 2008
i have this listener object below. i also have a text area component called, "taPhoneNmbr", that you type a phone number into. what currently happens that the listener object will listen for change in the taPhoneNmbr.length. once taPhoneNmbr.length reaches the value of the areacode it will add a hyphen to the end of the last character in taPhoneNmbr component.
same thing will happen once taPhoneNmbr.length reaches the value of prefix, resulting in a phone format like this: 800-555-1234 my problem now is that if i were to make a mistake with the number i've typed i cannot delete the last hyphen only because flash is constantly adding the hyphen through the listener. so i added the removeEventListener at the end of the else if statement. though i'm able to delete the hyphens, how do i "pause" the listener in the event where i either make changes to the prefix(not var) or area code(not var) portion of the taPhoneNmbr text? i know i could mickey mouse it and cheat by creating a clear all button, but i figured i'd challenge myself.

Out of the box, Flash CS4/AS3 doesnt seem to support the soft hyphen / discretionary hyphen (­ / U+00AD). Is there some trick to getting it to work, or is it simply not there?

The textfields in flash automatically line break the second part of a hyphenated word. Is there a property to make the hyphen read as a regular character and treat the whole word as one and not line break at the hyphen?EX: Current text-field behavior:Buy all of the teacher-approved supplies.

I'm trying to assemble a header object for an api request. One of the headers is 'Content-Type'. The hyphen is causing a compile error. Flex is giving me:
1050 - Cannot assign to a non-reference value.
I find it spiteful that they enjoy the use of a hyphen in the error message while I hang my head and come here for answers.

I have this class below I created that shoot's balls at the screen when a user clicks either the A or B button on their Wiimote. When it hits a target, which is detected onBallEnter-it then finds how relative the scaling is and if it's equal or greater, it removes the Event Listener, and removes the child from the parent object. Unforntually, It does neither. When it hit's this section it deletes the target (which is shot at by the ball), which is referenced at target.terminateObject(), but it does not delete the ball or remove the listener.

This is part of a code used to navigate menu buttons by pressing the up and down buttons. I had the problem of when the button was held it continually cycled through them, but when I delete the listener it stops. However I am having problems getting to revert back after its deleted.
Code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
switch(Key.getCode()) {

After adding a mouseListener via Mouse.addListener to my flash movie the mouse wheel event is not bubbling to the browser when the mouse cursor is placed over the flash moviePeople all over google are complaining that in AS3 the event is bubbling and it is hard to stop it but in AS2 I wasn't able to find a solution to get the behaviour just as it is in AS3.Some code:
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
trace("mouseMove");

I'm trying to fetch some data from php to flash and print it in a dynamic text field. I know this might be a silly question but i cant seem to work out how to get flash to process the code text_field.text = data.return_msg; without it needing an event listener.So i want the code to be processed as soon as flash discovers it basically.this is what i have at the moment:
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables("get_blog_info.php");
// Build the varLoader variable
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;[code]....

I'm trying to use the following code to add a listener to a text field which clears the field, but I'm getting the error: "Parameter Listener Must be Non-Null" This is the code I'm using:
[Code]...
I should add that this text fields starts out on stage as a dynamic text field. In the code above I am changing its type to input, so that might affect things. I am trying to set up the field so that when a user clicks in the text field, a cursor movie clip appears, and the text that was in the field is erased, and that when they leave the text field and click elsewhere, the text is accepted, the textfield converts back to a dynamic field, essentially "locking" the entered text into the field.

I have recently moved from AS2.0 to AS3.0 and I am trying to get to grips with event handling. I am managing for things like key presses and mouse clicks
I am successfully tracing a string as either "login successful" or "login unsuccessful" from a PHP file on a local host and it traces as working in my Login class. Now I want to listen for the "login successful" string, currently tracing in my Login class and if it works, call an EventHandler in my Main class which will execute the next step.
Here's my code so far
PHP Code:
private function onLogin(e:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);

I have added a listener to the stage to close a loader object when the stage is clicked. The problem is the click seems to effect the loader object to (basically when you click the loader it calls the click function attached to the stage). Is that to be expected? I suppose it makes sense, but is there a way of adding a listener to the stage that excludes certain objects?

I'm loading .JPGs into loaders, setting the alpha of the loaders to .5 and would like to add a ROLL_OVER event to set the alpha to 1 then back to .5 on ROLL_OUT.Here's what I've got so far and it works well.
var ldr1:Loader=new Loader();var url1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("thumbs/1t.jpg");ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done1);ldr1.load(url1);
function done1(event:Event):void{ event.target.content.alpha=.5; event.target.content.x=currentX; //currentX & Y are already set event.target.content.y=currentY; addChild(event.target.content); currentX+=event.target.content.width;}
NOW, I'm trying to add the MouseEvent and can't figure out what to add the listener to - the loader or its content?
ldr1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOn); <<<<--- this doesn't work.
ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOn); <<<<---this doesn't work either.

I have a button which adds an Event.ENTER_FRAME listener. Once this listener has been added it's quite possible that the user might click the button several times more. Is the same Event.ENTER_FRAME listener triggered again when the button is clicked again? or does Actionscript ignore the command to create the listener again since the listener is already running?
I'm worried about memory leaks, and I'm worried that Actionscript might create multiple Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners with the same name, but it would suit me best if I could allow the user to click the button as many times as they want.

Basically, I'm having trouble with depths causing components to display on top of some combobox drop-downs. So basically I made a listener that will listen for focusIn and swap the depth of the combobox to the next highest to bring it to the front when the user clicks on it. No, rather than write a line to apply this listener to each combobox on the stage, is there a way to apply it to the combobox component in general, so it will effect all instances of the combobox component?
So changing this:
ActionScript Code:
var combobox_listener:Object = new Object();
combobox_listener.focusIn = function():Void {
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}state_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);
county_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);
city_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);

what I fegured out is, if I can dispatach a event and add a listenr to all my movieclips the moveclips will know that new data recived and it will check that the number and do appropriate action.
but the problem is I can dispatchEvent but if I add a listener to my movieClips it doesn't work.

I have what I think is a scoping issue with a listener. I have a movie clip which contains several picture management functions. I want to add a listener to it so that the next image loads before it is processed. Where do I put the listener - In the MC or in the root? At the moment, I have it in the MC but it does not run the function. I created a test function in the root which runs the listener no problem.

On the main timeline, I have placed a movieclip (movieclipone) which contains some content. On frame 85 of movieclipone, there is a new keyframe which contains a movieclip that hasn't previously appeared in the movieclipone timeline, (moviecliptwo) which contains four buttons (btnone, et cetera).Is there a way to have code in the main timeline that attaches listeners to the buttons inside moviecliptwo, which, when pressed, trigger a function that increases a counter and tells movieclipone to go to the next frame? This is the code I am using right now:
stop();
movieclipone.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);function onEnter(e:Event):void [code]........
When I debug the movie, I get this error at frame 85:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Flash keeps looping which is causing certain variables to add values constantly. E.g.
if (userWord.text == word){
score = score + 1;
trace(score);
}
That will constantly add one to "score" when a certain word is typed into a text box. How do I add one to "score" without stopping the application or playing it once?
