ActionScript 2.0 :: Strange Variable Results With Eventlistener Function
Oct 14, 2009
So I've got a function that does several things: It creates video cue points, loads content & executes a function based on those cue points, and finally, sets the eventlistener for the video.
The problem I'm having (after tracing it out) is that the variables within the function seem to be stored as an 'array-like' deal. In other words, the variables output as they should when initially clicked. Next time the code executes, it outputs the newest variable values then IMMEDIATELY the first variable values. This output 'builds' and builds but ultimately the content never dynamically changes as it always ends up loading the first content that was loaded very first time out. I'm *guessing* it has something to do with the event listener being re-instantiated? Tried modifying where I add the listener to no avail.
Any thoughts?
Code:
function vidPlay(vidName) {
swfText.gotoAndStop(1); // mc1 to load external data & play a function
swfText._alpha = 100;
[Code]....
I still haven't been able to figure this one out. My best guess is something to do with the eventlistener being re-instatiated each time the function is called, but I'm not sure. Again, it seems to either be 'storing' the variables in a backwards array somehow (first variable is stored and accessed last at all times) or maybe somehow it's creating multiple instances of the eventlistener and the variables are being pulled from the first iteration of it.

I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

I'm not working on my usual windows computer, but on my friend's mac.This mac has no graphics card, and a slower cpu. the result is a decrease in fps from 55+- to 20+-. the strange thing is: the screen doesnt seem to lagg at all. but all the objects are moving very slowly.It's very strange.I do all the movement and calculations etc, not in onEnterFrame, but in a TimerEvent.TIMER event listener. now how come this is the case?because what i'd expect to happen, is that everything moves at normal speed, but with laggs.whats going on?

why my variable does not get updated when I try to modify it from an event listener function? for example in the code below _resultXmlList will be null if I try to get it from getXml I think there is no access to member variables from an event listener.
Here is the code:
Code:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLLoader;

I am refactoring some code. I have a PHP page that contains a MySQL query and stores the result in a PHP variable $my_result. This result is then echoed to a Flash SWF during embedding with SWFObject. I now want to call this PHP page that makes the query from a javascript function like so - one change I have made to the PHP is that instead of storing the result in a variable $my_result I am echoing the result. Javascript function to call the PHP page and make the database query

I'm trying to setup something like Aspect Oriented Programming in Actionscript 3, basically the only thing I need to be able to do is something like this:
SomeClass.getMethod("methodName").addEventListener(afterMethodExecuted, function() {
//run code
});
This way I can run code after (or before) any method in any class has run, allowing numerous new possibilities.

I have three functions and I want to play them one by one when each of them completes the tasks inside. How can I add an eventlistener to a function to check if it is finished?So the following is the example:
function generateIdeaBalloons():void { var ideas1:MovieClip = new idea1 (); ideas1.x = 480; ideas1.y = 248; container.addChild(ideas1);
TweenLite.to(container.ideas1, 1, {delay:0.5, x:50, ease:Quart.easeOut});}

I want to use tweenlite to tween a navui_mc onto stage when I rollover another mc. Once navui_mc has completed the tween, I want to ad an MOUSE_OUT eventlistener to navui_mc, so that when I mouse off this mc is tweens out.The function call at the end of the tween seems to work as it is tracing that it has completed, but i dont think I can have the eventlistener in a function?

Code:
function enableButtons():void
{
for (var i:uint=0; i<40; i++)
[Code]...
I have 40 buttons on the stage. Their names are contained in the Array musicGrid. What I'm trying to do with this code is attach an EventListener to each button so that it will call the function mgMouseBehavior with a parameter to identify the button. For example, I want the button at musicGrid[0] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(0). I want the button at musicGrid[32] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(32), and so on.
However, if you try to add parameters to mgMouseBehavior in the addEventListener, for example:
Code:
musicGrid[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mgMouseBehavior(i));
Then you get Error 2007: Parameter listener must be non-null. How would I accomplish what I'm trying to do?

I am trying to make a subclass of flash.display.Loader, which should do something when the loader completes loading the content. So I do addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete) on my loader subclass. But this Eventlistener is never called. Is this supposed to happen? Can't I use an Eventlistener on the class that dispatches the event? My code looks like this: public class MyLoader

I have class ShowCase that inherite from my class ContentMC (that inherite from MovieClip). In the class ShowCase I have an EventListner that calls a function in the parent class ContentMC. But I get an error that says "Access of undefined property restoreMenuItem".
This is my eventlistner in ShowCase.as.
showcaseItem.addEventListener("CONTENTMCCLOSED", restoreMenuItem);
Here I get the error, it doesn't find the function restoreMenuItem.
The function restoreMenuItem is in ContenMC and looks like this.
public function restoreMenuItem(evt:Event):void
{
}
How do I call this function that's in the parent?
