ActionScript 2.0 :: MovieClip Listener Doesn't Seem To Be Working
Nov 7, 2006I have tried to follow the example in the flash help files but my movieClip listener doesn't seem to be working. What am I not doing correctly?

my event listeners does not catch a custom event while all of the others do. I have this in my FLA:
[Code].....
...which obviously means p5.finished() executed AND NGDemoEvent successfully fired the custom event. But I don't get the trace from closeP5Handler() (and obviously not from closeP5).
My FLA file has six other such function calls to six other classes (P2, P3, etc.) and these all work. They're identical. I'm tearing my hair out over this. Why won't the listener get the event?
I have an eventListener that is listening for the end of an audio channel that is playing an external MP3:
ActionScript Code:
d1Channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete, false, 0, true);
function soundComplete( e:Event ):void {
[Code].....
This works beatifully when I am running a test movie on my computer, and even the fully published SWF. But when I load it on the web server, and run it in a browser. This doesn't do anything. Once the audio is done, nothing happens.
I have a movieclip with 3 frames. each frame has a button on it. Using actionscript I jump to a frame then add an event listener to that button.However, it doesn't work since the playhead for that movieclip doesn't actually get moved to a different frame until the frame redraws. So actionscript says the button doesn't exist.(other than not dynamically adding the buttons with code... which will be my next step...)
View 1 RepliesThe keyBoard event listeners call on the rotate and unrotate functions and based on the key inputs(A and D) will implement either of the functions and rotate the image or return it to the original upright position. However, I haven't been able to get the function to work. When I press the A or D keys on the keyboard nothing happens. I even put trace() in one of the functions to see if the function will even be implemented but I don't get anything. I put in my Scripts below. Why are the functions not working? Do the eventlisteners fire or are there conflicts? I'm not getting any error messages.
ti.border = true
ti.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, onInput);
function onInput(event:TextEvent):void {
if(ti.text.search('a')!=-1) load_image("http://i54.tinypic.com/anom5d.png", "ottefct");

Is there a reason why a keyboard event listener would not work if the flash is embedded in an HTML? The rest of my game is running fine in the background, but I can't launch the movieClip "nextCar." My code is below, if that makes any difference...
function goNow (event:KeyboardEvent): void { thisOtherKey = event.keyCode; if (thisOtherKey == 32) { nextCar.gotoAndPlay(2); parkingQue.play(); tries++; }}stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, goNow);
I have this keyboard event listener to listen for key_Down of letter A and D but I end up with and error:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property A through a reference with static type Class.
When I use
function rotate(evt:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (evt.keyCode==68) {
evt.currentTarget.rotation = 90 }

I've built a custom event dispatcher:
Code: Select allpackage com.tests{
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.events.Event;
[Code].....
The event traces out that it successfully fired, but the listener doesn't catch it...
Atm im putting a a game i build into my main flash app.Everything works fine except the keyboard listener.unny.AFTER a mouse click on the 'loaded' swf the keys 'arrow UP' + 'arrow DOWN' start working.I created already a script that loads the listeners IF they are not loaded yet, but i think thats not the problem. Same situation.After clicking on the movie it starts to work, but apparently the listeners are already applied. All other listeners work besides the keyboard listeners.Stand alone(the game swf running by its own) the game works perfectly!btw the game is importing a main document class.
Code:
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN
var keybListenerLoadedUp:Boolean = false;

I have this movie with a listener on the main time line included from an actionscript file.
Code:
var myListenerKey:Object = new Object();
myListenerKey.onKeyDown = function() {
trace = "hello"
}
This simple code does nothing. Why?
i've not tried to do anything odd with eventListeners up until now. i have a movieclip with multiple frames that i use AS to attach a textfield to it. problem is i have a eventlistener for when the mouse rollsover the movieclip to go to frame 3 of the movieclip.
[Code]...
what's causing the textfield to suddenly take precedence and how do i stop it. when i trace the evt.target - it is my movieclip.
I'm getting the hang of AS3.But My Click Listener isnt working. The Rollovers are fine.[code]
View 5 RepliesI want to draw a shape and want that shape to do something when I click it. But it seems not working. Where did I do wrong?
This is the code
Code:

The Circle was initialized and drawn, but nothing happens when I click it. No compile errors happened too.
I have this block of code which is giving me an error

thLoader.onLoadComplete = function(emptyThumb_mc:MovieClip){

Code:
var buttons:Array = new Array(
_button1,
_button2,[code]........
I have 3 buttons on my stage (this is a small part of a larger project), named _button1, _button2, _button3 declared in an array so I can dynamically assign listeners and use a substring of the instance name to determine which button was clicked for other functions.My problem is that trace(e.target.name); returns the value _button1 on ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT as expected. However when clicking the button it returns "instance9" instead of the actual instance name I gave it.Why is this happening and how do I make it return the correct name? Why the hell would my buttonClicked function return a different result from the buttonOver function where the target is the same button for each function?
I have an eventListener that is listening for the end of an audio channel that is playing an external MP3:

I am which requires few things like;
1. swf should play if client open it at his end (this will be detected by checking a text file which has variable on the local drive say "C") swf should preload if finds flashvars from HTML file on server by user 3. if both of the above conditions dosent work then swf should not play
I have succeeded some what in this. if i run the file without preloader it work fine. but when i add preloader to it something goes wrong.

I haven't used AS in a while so I am trying to relearn it. I am trying to add an event listener to this sprite I created called Ball. I have a child of the Ball class in created in the Main class, so it seems like it should work. But whenever I press a key nothing happens.Main class:
ActionScript Code:
package Relearn{
import flash.display.MovieClip

I have what should be a simple bit of code. I have 25 movie clips laid out in a grid; each is named myVideo1, myVideo2, etc. When a clip is mouseovered, it should start playing and loop until mouseout, whereupon it will stop.
Here is the code:
Code:
import fl.video.*;
for (var i = 1; i <= 25; i++) {
["myVideo" + i]addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, playMovie);
["myVideo" + i]addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,stopMovie);
[Code].....
then the listener and function work fine for that particular clip. The two mouse listeners work fine with the dynamic assignation. I was hoping to avoid having to add 25 lines of code to setup the VideoEVent listener for each individual clip and don't understand why ["myVideo" + i] doesn't work as it does for the mouse event listeners.
For Flash websites that have background music or videos with audio, an essential piece of code I add is the DEACTIVATE and ACTIVATE event listeners...
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE,fadeOutSound);
addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE,fadeInSound);
These event listeners receive a message from the browser whenever the user opens another window or a program. And at that point I fade out the sounds and pause the videos. It prevents my site from making annoying noises in the background while the user is doing other things.
One limitation of ACTIVATE and DEACTIVATE is that every browser handles them differently. Worst of all, Google Chrome doesn't seem to handle them at all. I am wondering if there is something in my HTML or Javascript that I can do to make them work in Google Chrome. I can't seem to find anything on the subject.
For an example of these events in action, you can check out my personal website. URL]
If you leave my page, the music will fade out. It will fade in when you come back.
Note: You do have to click on the Flash first before you leave the window, or it won't work.
I have an uploader - with an onProgress listener....works fine when i publish from flash - but dosen't get called when run in a browser.
View 1 RepliesI created a basic slideshow with a Next and Previous button. I attach this code in the first frame of the main timeline:
Code:
stop();
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, moveNext, false, 0, true);
function moveNext(e:MouseEvent):void {nextFrame();}
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePrev, false, 0, true);
function movePrev(e:MouseEvent):void {prevFrame();}
It works fine, until I get to the last frame of the timeline (10th frame in this case). Then both buttons cease functioning. Why? The listeners should still be working.
I am working on a video player in Flash CS4. I'm trying to build the player such that when the user moves their mouse over the flash object, the playback controls appear and, when the user moves the mouse out of the flash object, the controls disappear.I managed to get some code put together that works in every browser but one: Internet Explorer. Well, it 'works' but only if you slowly move the mouse out on the left side of the flash object.I have done quite a bit of Google searching for an answer, but I can't seem to find someone with a similar problem.Code is as follows:
ActionScript Code:
root.onLoad = function(){
_root.clip.skinAutoHide=true;

I have a form that is being created at the point the user clicks on. The algorithm is checking to see if a form exists in the same spot- if it doesnt, new object is created, if it does- result is traced. If no objects are on the stage- a new object is added. For some reason in this code- I get no results for the Mouse_Down event on the form itself. Method being called in main timeline:
[Code]...
public function GlobalSolutions()
{
Navigation(' Home ', 'index', 235, 0x97F9EC);
Navigation(' Office Supplies ', 'Office_Supplies', 295, 0x97F9EC);

I want to remove the appropriate child (e.currentTarget) and create a new child in its place with the next line, but it doesn't work. What do?
I have movieclip which contains child movieclip. when child movie clip finish to play i want to run a function in a parent movieclip. so I made a custom event dispatcher in the first frame of the child movieclip:
[Code]...
I'm loading an image into a blank_mc within a movieclip called 'background_mc' using the MovieClipLoader object; when the onLoadInit for the MovieClipLoader object is fired, i then attempt to clone my 'backgound_mc' object and the loaded image it contains so i can do something with it (i,e a funky masky/blur thing, not important right now)I'm successfully loading my image into the blank clip within background_mc, the onLoadInit behaviour fires and duplicates background_mc once the image has been loaded, but in a disappointing turn of events, my clone of background_mc no longer has an image attached, and has instead reverted back to it's original form, just as ti was before it had the jpeg image loaded in.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to coding a part of a program which is creating different listener for the same object by using a for, but the problem is that the result for all of them is the same, In the following you can find my code:
for( var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
var obj = new MyClass();
obj.y = i*30;
[code]...
My goal of writing the code above is, by clicking on the first obj, the program writes 0 in output, by clicking on second one, writes 1 and so on, but this code give me 10 for all the objects.I should add that no matter there is an obj or not in myOtherMovieClip area, by clicking in that area, I got the same value.
I've an array of movieclips created via code that have some textfields. Then i have added some listeners to the movieclips.
Here the code:
Code:
arrNot[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, titoloOver);
private function titoloOver(e:MouseEvent){
var nome:String = e.target.name;
TweenMax.to(curs,1 ,{y:contMain.getChildByName(nome).y + 23});
}
This code moves a cursor calculating the y coordinate depending the moviclip that is mouse overed. Now the movieclips have some textfields so when i mouseover the movieclips all works ok but when i mouseover the textfield i receive a #1009 error.
