Im trying to work with the Event class in actionscript 2.0 but its not working. Im actually working on xmlsockets. I have imported the xmlsocket library but it failed to load.
View 1 RepliesI am having trouble getting a simple event listener class to work. The class is:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
[code]...
and I have the ClassPath pointing to the folder that contains this .as file. I do get the trace "In setUp" but I'm not getting seeing any Keyboard events. There also aren't any errors showing up in output so I am kind of stumped.
In all the ActionScript examples I come across, people write custom events with the types defined inside the custom event's class definition. But, in my experience, it makes more sense for the object dispatching an event to own its own definition of that event (which, in ActionScript 3, is a String).
[EDIT: After writing this question, I've found there to be cases for both positions -- in some situations, event types should be stored on the event object, and, in others, they should be stored on the object dispatching the event.]
I would like to extends the Event class to add some events I am using in game. But I don't want the new Event Class to have the old public static types. For instance I don't want to have:
NewEventClass.ENTER_FRAME
How do you go about extending the Event class without getting the old types mixed in?
Is there any way to outsmart AS3 to leave out the uneeded types?
Or should I avoid creating a new Event type altogether and just add the new strings?
I'm newish to OOP AS... trying to build a image loader that wipes between loads. having trouble getting my onloadComplete event to call a method in the main body of the class. what am I missing?

Can event listeners only be added to the class which dispatched the event? I ask because I want to have the logic for the listener on the main class, and the action is dispatched on click from a thumb which is instantiated in a scroller class. Kinda like this:
ActionScript Code:
pseudo code:
class main {
main() {
[code]....
This doesn't work. Why can't the main class listen for an event on the thumb class?
I was wondering why my current code for calling a setInterval on a function doesn't work inside my class.I have this code inside one function, calling a second function.
intID = setInterval(selfReferential, dupe, 30, 0x000000);
The selfReferential keyword refers to the current class,but was defined previously (selfReferential = this; ).I get no errors, but the dupe() function is never called.and I had the selfReferential variable replaced with the this keyword at one point as well.
how to add an event listener to an event from a custom class. Here are the relevent lines of code (I think) from the class:
[Code]....
I copied my actions from frame 3 to frame 4 and frame 4's class doesn't work when frame 3's class works fine and normal, here is the source code:
Frame 3:
stop();
var rowNum:int = 10;
for (var i:int=0; i<rowNum; i++)[code]....
I've done a class to be able to listen to the event for a CLASS not on an instance.
Code:
class net.webbymx.events.XClassEventListener {[code]....
why did I do this.It cames with my rugby game.I have player in two teams. When a player throw the ball I want the other teammate to act like "wait for ball" and the opponent like "seek for ball". Plus I'm lazy (and I don't want to register the listener for each instance of the player I'm creating). So this class is made to be able to handle as many instance of a class I want without adding a listener on each of them. I'm just creating a global listener on the class and then I will be able to receive dispatched event for any instance of this class .so in my team I can do
Code:
XClassListener.initialize(this);
this.addEventListener("throw", "net.webbymx.game.Player", "wait");
and in my opponent team I can do
Code:
XClassListener.initialize(this);
this.addEventListener("throw", "net.webbymx.game.Player", "seek");
Is it possible to dispatch event from class that isnt extended class of MovieClip? I created my own class and put import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.*; but when i call dispatchEvent compiler throws error:"1180: Call to a possibly undefined method dispatchEvent."
View 3 RepliesHow do I listen for a timer event in my document class from another class? im thinking...... HTML Code:
[Code]...
HTML Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property gameTimer through a reference with static type Class.
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
I want to dispatch a custom event from the Country() sto the MenuButton();[code]When a country is hovered a custom event is dispatched which I want the MenuButton to listen and if the parameter passed is the same as its name to get highlighted. The Country Class is the Base Class for my countries movieclips I have on stage and the MenuButton the Base Class for the menu button.
View 1 RepliesIn a nutshell I have a custom event that I am dispatching from one class that is not getting picked up by the other class even though i have added the appropriate addEventListener calls on its constructor.Here's how the classes are laid out:
application(class/parent)
- network(class/child)
- loginscreen(class/child)
The constructor of the Application class creates and stores references to the network and loginscreen classes:
ActionScript Code:
import com.fg.managers.NetworkManager;
import com.fg.screens.LoginScreen;[code].....
The NetworkManager class extends the MovieClip class as does the LoginScreen and Application classes as well.Now within the oLoginScreen class I dispatch the ValidateCredentialsEvent by calling it this way:
ActionScript Code:
dispatchEvent (new ValidateCredentialsEvent(ValidateCredentialsEvent.VALIDATE_CREDENTIALS, oLoginData, true, false));
Then when I debug the code, I can step through and see that the ValidateCredentialsEvent is being generated but it is never picked up by the oNetworkManager class whatsoever.Is this occuring because the NetworkManager and LoginScreen classes are children of the Application class and because of this can't capture events raised by one another without using the Application class as the intermediary to redispatch these events? My whole idea here was to create a generic network managing object that could be called from anywhere within the application, by any object, using custom events.
I have created a class (extends the Event class) for use in one of my projects. If I trace the custom event object in the called function I get 'Event' as the type, but if I trace a TimerEvent, or MouseEvent, etc, I get TimerEvent or MouseEvent... Let me demonstrate:
var c:CustomObject = new CustomObject();
c.addEventListener(CustomEvent.ON_SEND_MESSAGE,fnc);
function fnc(e:CustomEvent) {
[Code].....
I have a class (called Units) that defines sprites which react to mouse events (being dragged around).My main .as class (called Loader) imports the Units class, sets up several shapes from Units as objects into an array (my_array[i] = new Units(j,k,l);) and then calls addChild in a loop to add them to the display list (addChild(my_array[i].shape);).All fine and dandy, but if I want a shape to go to the top of the display list when dragged about, how do I do it? The problem is that the mouseEvent is in the Units.as class, but the addChild is in the Loader.as class.The only thing I can think of is to strip the mouseEvent out of Units.as and add it to Loader.as - but that would mean adding an event to every shape in a loop, which seems inefficient.

I'm attempting to initiate a set of variables within a movie clip myElement as soon as it's dynamically loaded onto the stage:
frame1 within myElement:
PHP Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, initiateVars); function initiateVars(ev:Event):void{ var currentY:int = this.y; var currentX:int = this.x; }
I'm trying to make this happen only once, and only when myElement is first placed on stage, but the code above doesn't work. Am I misusing the ADDED_TO_STAGE event?
I have an issue in handling the F5(Refresh) option in IE8 using FLEX. As i got some code by surfing..which is as follows
public function handleKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent) :void
{
display.text = "Key was pressed: " + event.keyCode;
}
]]>
The main intention of the code is to handle F5(refresh) event. It works fine in Mozilla, GoogleChrome but not in IE8. When i execute the code in IE8 before the event handle by the FLEX the browser is handling the event.
I'm creating a minesweeper game as my first flash project, but I'm already stuck on something technical. I have created a button named Button which contains a bitmap. I have a lot of instances of that button on stage, and they are put there by actionscript using a for-loop. Their instance names are button0, button1, button2, button3, etc.
This is the code for the eventlistener: It's in the first keyframe of the actions layer.
var buttonListener:Object=new Object();
buttonListener.click=function(evt:Object):Void{
trace("clicked");
} for (i=0; i<rows*cols; i++) {
eval("button"+i).addEventListener("click", buttonListener);
}
I also noticed that when I do this for one button that I created myself and put on the stage manually, this also doesn't work, but when I pick one of the predefined buttons, it works just fine.
I am loading files via flash+php and I can't get the progress bar or completing event to work....and I am sure the solution is simple.

Just using the script below to output the key that is pressed in the output but I get the "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." warning on the addEventListener line, which I assume is because of the "stage" var. How do I correct that?

The mouseOver event doesn't work should be pretty basic but... y'know it's flash and that which should be simple is usually a PIA when you're an actionscript beginner
I decided to pick up a copy of O'reilly Actionscript 3 Cookbook today, and I have been going through. One of the first examples it has for keyboard events is:[code]But for some reason it will not work. According to the book stage.focus = this; is all you need for keyboard events to work, am i doing something wrong?
View 8 RepliesI'm dynamically creating movieclips and using loadMovie to load jpg images from an xml file. But I cannot get the onRollOver, or any other event handler to work. Here is my code:

I am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));

Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");

My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.

I've got 2 AS3 files going here, the document file "Main" and a "Fence" file..[code]For some reason the ping comes up, but the pong doesn't, it's starting to bug me now that the "onFenceAdded" wont even work, what have I missed? Is there some way to check if Flash is compiling correctly? I often find these weird problems where I'm sure I've done it all correct, but when I try to compile and run a swf it wont work!
