ActionScript 2.0 :: Difference Between AddListener And AddEventListener?
Apr 17, 2006
I was using addEventListener("change",myListener) and it was working fine, then I thought of trying addListener instead, but then it didn't work. This lead me to google search what addListener does.I saw some stuff that made me conclude that there is a "listener" and there is an "event" and there's a difference between them. The Key object as 2 listeners: onKeyUp and onKeyDown , but none of the components have listeners, they just have events.I wanted to know why, and whats the difference between a listener and an event, and the difference between addListener and addEventListener.

I have one script which is working a treat ( using ASBroadcasters ) and then today, I copied and pasted the same script into a new site and whenever I try to register a listener, I get the dreaded "There is no method with the name addListener"... oh, and a few things. the broadcasting object is a class extending the XML class, and i have used the same script before with no issues the listening object extends the object class, and whilst this class has been freshly developed, the last time I used the ASBroadcaster methods I didn't have to extend anything for it to work.

I have a swf which just consist of one image per frame. I want to use the scrollpane's verical scrollbar to run through the frames instead of running along the height of the swf.Is there a built-in support, straight forward way to do this?Otherwise, I might want to use a ScrollEvent listener + callback to gotoAndStop according to the ScrollPane.verticalScrollPosition.

I am importing 4 videos flv with playback component. When a video is loading, I would like an mc to be visible (like a loading mc e.g.youtube) to be sure the users understands that it's working and loading. But when it starts to play, the mc needs to disappear.
So I imagine something like this code is a start (it doesnt work but it can maybe help to illustrate what I want to do);
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
vid1.addEventListener(VideoEvent.LOADING.videoLoad );
function videoLoad(e:VideoEvent){

I have built an application in Flash 8 (as2) it has key listeners in it which work when run from Flash 8.When I open the application in CS3 and run it from there the key listeners no longer work. On testing I found that it only registers when pressing w u d g x and the numbers.

I had an odd occurance where a listener was firing when I pressed on another movieclip. Both functions executed, which obviously caused some trouble. I fixed the misfiring listener by creating a new child (panel) and then adding the listener's movieclip to panel.

I need to get my movie to check if the user has click anywhere on the interface (doesn't matter were), if there's not click after 60second, I need to send the movie back to frame1.I know is a combination of addListener(Mouse), onMouseMove and getTimer. but I'm not very good at action script yet to combine the three.

I'm not sure why my event targets are missing when I add an event listeners to my button classes. So when I try to check which button has been clicked I can't tell a difference between them. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Everything else looks like it's coming through okay.[code]...

How to add a listener to a button inside of a movieclip that is in the library?
Example:
Root->work_mc(timeline)->workss_mc(added with Addchild)
There is workss_mc in the library that gets loaded when someone clicks a button inside of work_mc. This is achieved with addChild. Within workss_mc there is a close button to close this. I've run into problems with working the navigation with this b/c I need to declare and create a single instance of workss_mc at a scope where it is visible to both click handlers, Doing this will place both handlers in one location. So in order to do that I would need them all to be where the navigation code is, the root. So how can I access workss_mc from the root?

im using key.addlisteners to check for key presses. but if a person presses all 3 keys at once (RIGHT, LEFT, UP) then releases one at a time, only the first release is noted by flash. see a demo at:
http:[url]....is there any way to solve this?
NOTE: I do not want to use if(Key.isDown...etc) to get this to work. if you are interested in why see below.here is the code:
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode()==39) {[code]....
i want to publish my movie with WMODE set to transparent windowless. there is a glitch in flash that makes it so if(key.isDown(key.right)) sort of codes dont work in anything but IE when WMODE is set this way.

I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
Can someone please help. I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.

If in a situation, the addEventListener is being assigned more than once for same actionwhat will happen then? Suppose on frame 5 there is ample_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK...... ... and when user navigates the application/site it comes on frame 5 again and again. Will the addEventListener be applied more than once on that button? If yes then what will happen on clicking on that button? will the associated function be called more than once now?

I have made the flash file into CS3 and simplified the idea a bit. Basically I want to click the box on the right to start playing the song and the spectrum and then if I click it again it will stop playing the song and the spectrum then if I click it again it will start playing again ect ect. I could not upload the song.mp3 cause the file size was too big you will have to replace it with another mp3 in the root of the folder and name the mp3 song.mp3.

I want to do something quite simple, but am new to AS3 and the changes since AS2.I want to click a button (play_btn)Then when this happens it opens a SWF (movie.swf) into a placeholder (placeholder_mc) onto the stage. That's it!
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, placeholder_mc);
function placeholder_mc(event:MouseEvent):void{
trace("pressed");
loader.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));
}

I have created a scrolling bar menu. All the buttons in the menu work except for the last two. When I place a trace statement within the function it definitely is listening to all the buttons except for the last two. All instances are named correctly. Can the size of the scroller be contributing to why the addEventListener is not working?

I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information. What I was trying to do was instead of creating new functions and event listeners for every different icon is to use a for loop...but it's not going so well.[code]...

I currently have a .swf file that is nested into another .swf file. In the parent SWF file I use a UILoader to load the other .swf file. uiLoader.source = "data/child.swf";- In the child SWF file I have stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyPressedDown); and when I run it on it's own, it works perfectly; but when I run child.swf through parent.swf stage.addEvent... give me a null reference exception. Is the stage part of what is causing the issue?, and if so, is there a way to fix this?

I want to add a series of event listeners. they work fine in individual lines of code:
ActionScript Code:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
resume.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
but when i use this loop, i get a 1006 error, "value is not a function":
ActionScript Code:
var buttonNumber:Number;
var buttonName:Array=new Array("home","resume","portfolio","contact");
for (buttonNumber=0;buttonNumber<4;buttonNumber++) {
buttonName[buttonNumber].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,route); }
is there something obvious that's wrong with my last line in that loop? i've narrowed it down to the part where I call the array value. but after that - I'm at a loss!

I have a for loop that loads a variety of movie clips that I want to have function as buttons. From what I've read adding an event listener is the way to go but I'm not sure how in this case. I've searched online and found a few articles that come close to what I need but not quite. Can't I just tack on an event listener for a mouse click on these objects and have it run a function I have defined elsewhere?Also in said function what code would I need to use to reference the button that was just clicked, would this. work?
