ActionScript 2.0 :: Create / Delete / Create Event Handlers
Oct 19, 2006
At the moment I create an onEnterFrame function to ease a movie clip into view. I then delete it. I want to be able to recreate a similar onEnter Frame function later to swoosh the movie clip out of view. At the moment weird things happen when I try and do the second onEnterFrame.I know I could put this all in the original onEnterFrame, but I don't wanna be wasting processor time doing an if statement every frame to work out if it's time to swoosh out the movieclip. Or should I not worry because that's negligible cpu time?

how can I create event handler for a class that I wrote myself?
Example:
Code:
class blah {
var ladida:string;
function blah () {
[Code]....
How is it possible to create an event handler, like lame.onChange? When the variable inside the class is changed, how would i be notified?

I'm trying to create a series of scripts that will create some custom event listeners.
I have three movie clips on my stage. One is a movieclip who's sole function is to hold array's and the event listeners. A second which moves around the screen. And a third that is motionless.
The problem is that the argument I want to test (which activates the custom event) is held within a string.
What I want to know is, how do you test to see if the string argument is true?
Is it something similar to this:
var myCode:String="1<0";if(myCode){
trace('one is smaller than 0'); //Strangely apparently one IS smaller than 0!!!
}
I think I'm going about this in the wrong manner, however this is the only way I can think of this working... (since I need to be able to dynamically create these events)

I am trying to create and delete empty movies that I can load external .swfs into. While the below works if I get rid of
var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
I can't work out how to dynamically name the empty movies, as the below just comes up with errors. I'm pretty new to AS3 and stuck. Any ideas?
var myNum = 0;
var currentLoaded = "my_loader" + myNum;
function loadNew (myNum){

I'm using AS 2.0 I have big MC(circle - vector). It's not perfect circle because of Flash.On this circle I have some mc's (small circles - bitmaps) --> I'm using attachMovie on Big circle. I'm rotating with big circle by 45 degrees.
Sometimes I have to delete small circle and create another one at the same location. But after rebuild the position of new small circle is a little bit changed[mm].
It's visible and I'm very disappointed. It happens even the rotation is 0.

I works with Flex 4.5 and I like to create a custom dropdownlist. Indeed, I'd like to show in each line on my dropdownlist a label and a delete button. The goal is to delete the line on click to delete button. This look like simple, but I don't found how to do that.

When, in ActionScript, an event is dispatched:
foo.addEventListener("some event", someHandler);
foo.dispatchEvent(new Event("some event"));
At what point are the event handlers executed?
I ask because I caught this at the end of an Adobe developer guide:
Notice that some properties are assigned to the [AsyncToken] after the call to the remote service is made. In a multi-threaded language, there would be a race condition where the result comes back before the token is assigned. This situation is not a problem in ActionScript because the remote call cannot be initiated until the currently executing code finishes.
But I could not find any information on what they meant by "currently executing code".

I noticed that in anonymous event handler this is referenced to global, not my class. I know that I can use outer referenced variables (because it creates closures), but how to get right this context?
Simple example:
_movieClipClassVariable = new MyCustomSpriteSubclass();
_movieClipClassVariable.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(event:Event):void {
trace(this); //gives 'global'
});
What about memory usage and garbage collection objects with anonymous handlers? Is declaring handlers as class method better?

My project has a target object (center of stage) and a moveable object, which is created each time a user presses "Enter". Each movable object is identified as part of an array (i.e., object[i]), and a new line (i.e., line[i]) is dynamically drawn from the center of the newly created object to the center target object.
Basically, as the object is dragged around the screen the line is to stay connected to the target object. Therefore, that specific line for that object being moved must be redrawn using a drawLine function inside the event handler. My issue is how to get line[i] to be identified within the even handler? (Using AS3 coding)

What methods do you use to unit test event handlers, particularly if they require information from the event (such as mouse coordinates, or the target of the event)? Is the most common practice to just refactor the behavior into a method that does the lifting while the handler just extracts information from the event, or are there effective ways to simulate event dispatch in FlexUnit or Fluint?

I came to AS3 from JS world, and I should confess that anonymous functions are my weakness. I tend to use them everywhere. Now, coming to AS3 I've heard and read in lots of places, that AS and Flash are enormously bad at handling garbage collection, that one should empty, dispose and remove all event handlers and objects manually to avoid weird and unexplainable memory leaks and crashes. Not sure what part of this is true, but I would like to follow best practices right from the beginning. How bad is idea of using anonymous functions as event handlers? Consider for example a code like this:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function() : void {
controls.elapsed = stream.time;
});
Ccontorls.elapsed is the setter, which apart from setting current play time for video player, updates the whole UI, and stream is NetStream object, which streams the actual video. There are lot's of other places where anonymous function may make code cleaner and more intuitive. Check the following code for simple fade-in effect for the control bar:
public function showControls() : void {
var self:Controls = this;
if (!visible) {
visible = true;
fadeTimer = new Timer(30, 10);
[Code] .....
I totally like how it looks and fits into the code, but I'm concerned about leaks. While Event.ENTER_FRAME handler probably would never become harmful in this form, what about timer listeners. Should I remove those listeners manually, or they will be removed automatically, as soon as I set fadeTimer = null ? Is it possible to remove listeners with anonymous functions properly at all?

i have an odd issue and i know almost nothing about AS3 so im a complete noob please bare with me. I am working with a template .fla for a page flip but i am using a different navigation system for the flipping of the pages. I have worked through all the errors and output problems and i can get the system to work but the moment i try to use other event handlers for the same item it completely blows up the main script to make the page flip that is required. No errors, output problems etc, it just doesn't work. So here is the code.
Code: Select allHome.lnk1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler, false, 0, true);
function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
switch(e.currentTarget)

'currItem.currVar', in my eyes, should be assigned the value of 'i' at that time in the loop, then move on to the next currItem right? Tracing 'currItem' traces 'menuItem. menuItem'+i to the output window fine, so im assuming that currItem is indeed a reference to a unique clip to which assign an action. The catch is, its not assigning the action I want, its assigning the value of 'i' at the end of the loop to all currVar's.I recently read a post explaining this conumdrum, stating that "variables are not "burnt" into functions when they are placed there. They will reflect the variable, where ever it may exist at the time it was requested, not at the time the function using that variable was defined," but in this case,since I am assigning the value of 'i' to anothing variable inside my dynamic movieClip.

I'm trying to rewrite a procedural ActionScript program as an OOP one: in the procedural version I set up event handlers for movieclips on the stage with a loop and it worked fine.However, when I put these event handlers in a class definition, it's no good. Simplified version below, which is just supposed to make a sound when the user clicks on the boxclass definition:
class Event_stuff {
var nLpCntr1:Number = 0;
var nNumberOfChoiceBoxes:Number = 3;wrong use of terminology

Im tyring to turn a Movie Clip into a classic button - roll-over to display text, roll-off and text goes away, click and go to frame of animation. Each works on its own but when I put all 3 on the same Movie Clip (Tick1) each succeeding event listener seems to erase the previous one. Here is the code:
var txtField:TextField = new TextField();
Tick1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GoToStart);
Tick1.buttonMode = true;

When I create something like the following:
<mx:DataGrid id"myDataGrid"
itemEditBegin="myDataGrid_itemEditBeginHandler(event)" />
When does the event listener for "itemEditBegin" get added and removed? Is this essentially the same as:
<mx:DataGrid id="myDataGrid"
creationComplete="myDataGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event)" />
protected function myDataGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
{
[Code]...
Basically, I'm wondering where I should add "myDataGrid.addEventListener" if I want to do it programmatically? Should it be in the creationComplete listener function of the object itself, or perhaps in the creationComplete listener function for whatever parent object it resides in?

After figuring out that removeMovieClip won't work on objects with negative depth numbers, I've run into another stumbling block in some menu generation code I'm working on.For the most part, my menu code is complete, and functional. However I've been trying to clean up some of the display methods to make it a nicer and smoother interface.
When you rollover a menu item, a submenu appears. This submenu consists of a number of items. Let's pretend we have this MAIN MENU > SUBMENU > ITEM 1, ITEM2, ITEM 3.ITEM 1, ITEM2, and ITEM 3 are nested in SUBMENU. For example, the full path for ITEM 1 is _level0.mainmenu.submenu.item1.
SUBMENU itself consists of a background object and the item objects. The items all have event handlers assigned to them. onRollOver highlights a selection, onRollOut unhighlights the selection, onRelease jumps to the appropriate Movie Clip.
What I would like to do is assign an onRollOut event to SUBMENU that collapses the menu on a mouse roll out event. It works, however, when I do this, the event handlers of the nested ITEMs become nonfunctional. Is it not possible for parent and child movie clips to both have onRollOut events assigned to them? Or is there something else I'm missing?
