Banner ads have buttons that ad serving systems use the following syntax to dynamically assign a URL.[code]The clicktag button covers the stage (ad size) and prevents other mouse events like panning. Are there any hacks to get around this? I have a FLA that uses the following AS but the mandatory click tage button disables it the panning functionality.[code]
View 1 RepliesJust 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'm using actionscript 3 in FlashBuilder 4.5in my top-level class that is derived from the Sprite class, i added a keyboard listener:stage.addEventListener( KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, HandleKeyboard );i don't get any keyboard events until i click the mouse button in the screen area - then the events work fine.i tried setting the stage.focus to stage and other various things,
View 8 RepliesIs it possible to simulate a MouseEvent.CLICK to get fired by just firing first a MOUSE_DOWN followed by a MOUSE_UP.
As per Adobe's doumentation.
"... For a click event to occur, it must always follow this series of events in the order of occurrence: mouseDown event, then mouseUp. The target object must be identical for both of these events; otherwise the click event does not occur. Any number of other mouse events can occur at any time between the mouseDown or mouseUp events; the click event still occurs." [code]...
I have made a hierarchy in which there is a main page, using add element i have attached a component mxml of type group. There is a single button on main page when clicked it should add children of type group in that group type mxml component along with two buttons. Now using one of buttons i am attaching another component mxml type group. the problem is even they overlap i can still excess the children groups of first group component mxml.
View 2 RepliesI have a key.addlistener setup to listen to key events. What I want to be able to do is to dispatch key events by for example a mouse click or just on load. I've tried a lot of possible solutions such as dispatchEvent with type as "onKeyDown" and "keyDown" etc.... but key listener simply do not treat it as a keyboard event.
Code:
var eventObj = new Object();
eventObj.type = "keyDown";
eventObj.code = 13;
eventObj.ascii = 'e';
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
I have a question regarding the use of mouse clicks events in a multi-dimensional array (or a "2D" array as we refer to them in Java and C++).
Background
I have an array of objects each with a corresponding mouse click event. Each object is stored at a location ranging from [0][0] to [5][8] (hence a 9 x 6 grid) and has the specific column and row number associated with it as well (i.e. tile [2][4] has a row number of 2 and a column number of 4, even though it is on the third row, fifth column). Upon each mouse click, the tile that is selected is stored in a temporary array. The array is cleared if a tile is clicked that does not share a column or row value equal to, minus or plus 1 with the currently targeted tile (i.e. clicking tile [1][1] will clear the array if there aren't any tiles stored that have the row/column number
[0][0], [0][1], [0][2],
[1][0], [1][1], [1][2],
[2][0], [2][1], [2][2]
or any contiguous column/row with another tile stored in the array, meaning that the newly clicked tile only needs to be sharing a border with one of the tiles in the temp array but not necessarily with the last tile stored).
Question
What is a clean, tidy way of programming this in AS3? Here are a couple portions of my code (although the mouse click event isn't finished/working correctly):
[Code]....
What I make usually is have an array and set different levels of mouse blocking.
Example:
I have the menu, the contents, and lets say something else that appears on top of everything called animation.
mouse_block = new array(false,false,false)
The first false corresponds to the menu, the second to the contents, etc.
So, I check on every clickable mc if their level is false or true.
on(press){
if(mouse_block[1]){
//do what ever it is suposed to do
[Code].....
My problem is that I need to write that on every movieclip...
Can you point me a way of optimizing this?
I thought of using the prototype, but from what I know you can only create new methods an properties.
Is there a way of modifying the mouse events like onPress or onRollOver?.... or create your own mouse events using those as a starting point?
I am wondering how can one stop the user from clicking on a button (MC) without using btn.enabled = false.example: i have a menu that has buttons which have tweens on rollover and onRelease events. I want to be able to click on home for e.g. disabling all other buttons to avoid user clicking but still keep the rollover. I have tried btn.enabled = false and of course i dont want to disable the entire btn and instead i want to disable just the onRelease event or even avoid the mouse from clicking until the animation finish. Only Then, user can click on another menu button.
View 3 RepliesI have objects that the user can click&drag. They're PNGs, mainly rectangular, no problem till here.But I then had to put an L-shaped object (a PNG with a lot of transparency), so i've made a movieclip with an shape with the same L shape than the png, and use it as its hitArea:
shape.visible= false;
shape.mouseEnabled= false;
obj.addChild(shape);
obj.hitArea= shape;
This works PERFECT, the mouse events respond as expected, and I can click on objects that are below/above the transparent area of the png/object.All objects are inside a Sprite called playgroundLayer1. The issue comes when I take the L-shaped object and put it on another Sprite (playgroundLayer2), that is above the playgroundLayer1.I this case, I can click&drag on the L, but no object below the transparent area of the L receives mouse events.
I've got a movieclip on my stage that contains a scrollbar and a few buttons.I have a function that rotates the uses _mc.rotationX=10;After an interval the function uses _mc.rotationX=0;After the movieclip has be rotated back to its original position the scrollbar and buttons no longer receive mouse events.[code]
View 2 RepliesI'm developing a web site which needs animation for buttons in the Mouse_over and Mouse_out state.[code]...
What i want to do is change the red text which is the button to be animated for a variable which gets the name of the button in which the mouse event is taking place. This way i dont have to do a function for each button. [code]...
I am trying to work out how to do something really hard and i think the only way that I can do it is to pass a timer an argument. I want to create a class that moves buttons to the right on mouse over, and moves them back on roll out. But I am trying to make a sort of easing effect in action script. The last movement should be 1 pixel, the second to last move 2 pixels, the third to last be 3 pixels etc.
The class will have a variable that stores the original x coordinate and the desired resting coordinate for the button on roll over. on roll over, the script calculates the number of pixels between where it is and the destination, or on roll out, it would calculate the number of pixels from its current position to the original position. Then it would use that number to do the following calculation:
while(numPix>countPix){
count++
countPix+=count
} this.x=destinationX-countPix /*or + count pix depending on weather its moving to the right or left*/
while(count>0) {
this.x+=count /*or -= if moving back*/
count--
/*timer would elapse here*/
}
So u see, it counts the number of pixels it needs to move, then it counts the number of increments (count) it needs to move between timers for this sort of easing motion. I just don't know how to implement this in actionscript
I have 30 buttons called thumb01 to thumb30. I have created this functions so when hover over and hover out of the one of the buttons it changes colour. I would like to use this for all my 30 buttons, but I dont want ot write the same code 30 times. Is there a way to for example to use wildcards so I can write thumbxx and address all the buttons.
var col:Color = new Color();
col.setTint(0xFFFFFF, 0.5);
set1_mc.thumb01_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hoverOver);
function hooverOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
set1_mc.thumb01_btn.transform.colorTransform = col;
} set1_mc.thumb01_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,hoverOut);
function hooverOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
set1_mc.thumb01_btn.transform.colorTransform= new ColorTransform()
}
It seams my event listener for a mouse click on buttons isn't working. I gave the buttons instance name two_btn, etc, then I wrote in action script:[code]but every time I click the button it won't do anything at all.
View 9 RepliesI have 2 buttons that i made an up arrow and a down arrow. I would like them to move an image up or down on mouse click. Although i made the button rollover actions previously and i got the script below from researching online. Now I am not sure if i should even bother with it. I thought if i could get the actionscript to recognize the buttons and tell it what to move the (the ad) I could get them to work. But haven't figured out how to do that and if i have to make custom buttons for this. see what i have below thus far.

I have 4 buttons with instance names: 'alfa', 'bravo', 'charlie' and 'delta'. I want to make a function that runs on mouse click on either of the buttons. I tried this, but could remember exactly how it should look:
[Code]...
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.
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).
In a project i'm doing I have a custom cursor, using the start drag command and mouse.hide. the issue being that the movieclip being dragged is blocking the mouse from initiation mouse events properly.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 5 RepliesIt 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)
View 1 RepliesI 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".
why i am getting spurious mouse_out events when moving the mouse down or right but not up or left over a Sprite?
View 3 RepliesI 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 just started playing around with as3 and I have a function for mouse clicks that draws a shape on each click. However the mouse click event does not appear to work unless I click a movieClip object I placed in the middle of the screen. Is there a way to make the mouse click event recognize when I click anywhere on the screen?
