I modified a mouseDown event to use
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
moveGlow();
};
But the glow animation restarts everytime the mouse moves. Can someone point me towards a tutorial or a tip on using a conditional to detect the mouseMove so it doesn't start over?
I have a parent sprite that contains several child sprites. I have attached mouse click and mouse down event amongst others to the parent sprite. And in the listeners I check which child has been targeted using the "event.target" property. However It seems that the mouse click event does not trigger for some reason. Is it possible that the mouse down event is eating up the click event. Is this a know issue in as3 and is there a possible workaround?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a custom AS visual component, based on UIComponent class. Inside this component, I have a button I programatically added. I set the mouseClick event of it, and it works fine. When the mouseClick for the button starts, it adds a listener for MouseDown on the stage. This is my problem. Once that MouseDown event listener is initiated it won't ever pay attention to the MouseClick listener of the button (which will
turn off the MouseDown listener!). I've tried setting the priority number when creating the listeners, but this is not working. My mouseClick listeners gets ignored.
I can't seem to get around it. I whant tu add an event on mousedown on the scrollpane scrollbars..
View 3 RepliesI just would like to know how can I dynamically change a label's values while on mousedown.I basically have a mousedown event and I also have two labels in my application. What I would like to happen is to get the current x and y position of my mouse pointer as I move my mouse through the screen and changing the values of the labels into the values of the current x and y coordinates of the mouse pointer.
protected function object_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
curX = this.mouseX;[code]........
However, what this code does is that it records the coordinates of my mouse as it moves across the screen. What i want now to do is just to get the coordinates of the mouse while event is on mouseDown. What i'm thinking is to call the mouseDown event and ask it if the mouse is currently down, if it returns true, then i'll start recording.
The below MouseDown() event works on for a squire area. How can trigger a MouseDown() event when clicked on a custom shape movieclip?

I'm using Flash CS4 and have a couple of FLAs (but not all my FLAs) that always get flagged as being modified when I publish. The issue is that my source control keeps wanting to have me check-in those files.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to tell when a SWF was published (date modified) via ActionScript?

View 4 RepliesI'm creating an air application that allows the user to create, edit and save Objects in files. I'm trying to implement a "Save on Close" prompt if the user hasn't saved her changes to the object before closing.Let's say I have a Class called MyClass marked as Bindable that is composed of fields, each exposing a getter and setter. Some of these fields are ArrayCollections of custom Classes. I want to consider a change a change to any of the fields, or any of the fields in any of the objects in any of the array collections the parent object is made up of.
I could manually dispatch an event anytime a setter is called on the MyClass object and manage this all manually, but I'd also have to do it in a bunch of places in the application logic, for instance when the user changes one of the custom objects in one of the array collections that comprises it. This is a fine solution, but a little dirty and hard to maintain. I could also check the current object against a copy I made at the time of start up or last save, but I don't like the idea of doubling my memory footprint just for this.
there was some event, perhaps an event that the binding broadcasts, that I could listen for in one place and manage my "Saved" variable. Does such a thing exist? I tried listening for the dataChange event that binding apparently dispatches, but I either did it wrong, or it doesn't do what I think it should.
I need to know which part of the text is been modified by the user inside a Flex TextArea. I'm listening to TextArea's Event.CHANGE and my code run on everychange but i don't know what the user have done to the text and it's too long to process it again at every keypress or paste
We are still with Flex 3.5 but i may consider Flex 4 if the solution is easier.
mc1 is placed on the stage. There are several key framesinside of it. On the first key frame is mc2. The subsequent keyframes have copies of mc2 which have been tweaked individually byway of transform tool etc. Run the play head manually and you sell the frames like you meant.But when the movie is tested only the original mc2 (as on keyframe 1) shows up on all the frames. And it is evident that thescript is moving the playhead as images placed in key frames onanother layer in mc1 appear correctly. I have heard its called 'puppeting' but my question remains:
View 3 Replieswhen I place a MovieClip element on both key frame1 and key frame2 from the content library, and let the instance on frame1 has no instance name, then the instance name which I give to the instance on frame2 has no effect at all——namely I can't refrence it by action script code on frame2 of the main timeline.I checked the content of the binary-file outputed by flash cs4, and got that after the first ShowFrame Tag, the instance was modified by the PlaceObject2 Tag, but the PlaceFlagHasName was not set, is this a bug of flash cs4?

View 6 RepliesIm working on a project where files are being loaded using the URLloader in flash as3. I need to be able to find the last modified date of the file that is being loaded, unfortunately the files may not always be on the same server as the flash app, so it may not always be possible for me to add a line to the file that has the last modified date, that could be read easily in flash. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to retreive this information, I know in air you can use URLLoader.httpResponseStatus which allows you to get the http headers and find it that way but it doesnt appear to work in flash.Id like to try to do this with out having to call on javascript or php to find it, since it would then require 2 connections per file i believe to be able to do everything I need 1 to get contents in flash, and one for either javascript or php to find the last modified date, but if I have to that seems to be the only option I can come up with.
View 2 RepliesIs there a possibility - instead of attaching a camera [via ns.attachcamera()] to a netstream - to "attach" e.g. BitmapData to netstream. The reason is, that I use BitmapData's .draw method to get the webcam video in order to change it, such as with the .treshold method. And I want to record and save these altered bitmaps (as a video) on the FMS instead the original webcam video.

Two videos are shown, the left one is the original from the webcam, the right one the "modified" video. Only the modified video shall be recorded via the netstream .publish method.

Is there a way with AS3 and flash player 10+ to check the modified date / time of a file? I'd like the swf to see if the local file has changed since it last checked. If it has, load the new data and go from there. An outside source is writing that new xml file and it could be a few seconds to days or weeks before it's updated again.

View 1 RepliesIn a nutshell I'd like to be able to use the mouse to draw a box. But not draw the four sides. Instead, you could click and start dragging the mouse and a box would be drawn and grow as you drag. When you let go the box is there. But if you click and drag again somewhere else the first box disappears and the process starts over in the new mouse click position.
On the other hand, would it be better/easier/less processer intensive to just have a teeny box in a movie clip already on the screen and then have that change scale as the user clicks and drags?
Eventually this functionality would be built into a map. The map would be made up of tiles of a certain resolution. The box drawing comes in as a zoom tool. The user could click on the map, drag the mouse and draw a box. That would be the area they wanted to zoom in to. So I'm guessing I would use hitTest to find out which tiles the user drew the box on and then load higher resolution tiles.
But for now I just need to know how to get the box functionality!
i am working on a project in which i want to have the water ripple effect when i click the mouse where ever on the stage. so here is the problem i have created a file which produces the water ripple effect all across the stage randomly by using "flash.filters.DisplacementMapFilter " when playing the movie i want the ripples to appear on mouse down state and only one ripple not multiple ripples and exactly at the place where i click. now what i have done is i have put all the script i have in " mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() { " but what happens is the ripples appear when i click but not the whole movie clip for ripple is played its like i have to click fast after each other for the ripple to be continuous and full.what should i do?
View 1 RepliesSo in Actionscript 3 and Javascript, to get touch events working for mobile devices I have to listen for ontouch events... However, touch events not fired on desktop. However, mouse events are triggered on both mobile AND desktop. My quesion is this: why does w3 have this spec
Wouldn't it make sense to have just to use the onmouseevent? In order to have things work on mobile and desktop I always have to listen for both events-bviously this causes issue on mobile devices because two events are fired when i press the screen (meaning that I have to do a bunch of conditional checking to add/remove event)
My initial thoughts were that multi-touch would be the main reason... But couldn't the design just have some parameter of the event like .touches? That could go along with the .pressure, .finger width, etc... maybe a .type = "touch" or .type="mouse"

View 4 RepliesI have two button instances on the stage. I've created two functions, one for each button to handle their MOUSE_DOWN event. In both of those functions I have a trace statement to ensure the MOUSE_DOWN events trigger their respective function calls, which each do.
The Problem: When you hover over either button, the button state changes to the "OVER" state as it should. However, when you click the button, the button flickers for a split second and then goes to the "DOWN" state. The flicker appears to be the button going to the "UP" state momentarily and then to the "DOWN" state. The only thing I can think of causing this problem is the fact that there is a MovieClip on the "UP" and "OVER" states that may be inheriting button events.
I've had this happen in the past when using button instances that contain MovieClips inside of them, but never knew how to remedy the problem. As a last resort I guess I could just change all the button instances to movieclips, but I'd like to learn how to accomplish this without needing to do that first.

var _volumeUpButton:SimpleButton = btn_volume_up;
