ActionScript 3.0 :: AIR How To Define Events

Dec 2, 2009

defined using a specific syntax. Instead, you define events in your class by using the functionality of the EventDispatcher class to keep track of event listeners and notify them of events."But in some Adobe's sample files, events are defined as class properties or local variables in class methods. while we call the dispatchevent() method only one time for each event (By the way is it possible to dispatch a single event more than one time?) and do not use the event object elsewhere in the class, what is the advantage of assigning the event to a variable? specially to a class property, specially to a public class property, while we can define and dispatch the event in a single statement like this:this .dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE,true)) ?2. The AS3 Language Reference says :"You do not normally call clone(); the EventDispatcher class calls it automatically when you redispatch an eventthat is, when you call dispatchEvent(event) from a handler that is handling event

Actionscript 3 :: Iphone - Touch Events Vs Mouse Click Events?

Jan 11, 2012

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?

I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?

By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mixing Stage Mouse Events And Children Events?

Sep 30, 2009

I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.

I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).

ActionScript 1/2 :: Stacked Events - Events Get Added On Top Of One Another?

Feb 24, 2011

I have noticed that using the "addEventListener" and coming back into a frame, I get multiple events tied to the same component.The design I am using jumps to an "I" frame (intermediate) and then back to the "M" frame (main) when the user performs an action.I add event listeners to several components when I enter that M frame. What I notice is that the events seem to stack up for a particular component.
 
For instance, if I enter M frame, N number of times and addEventListener("click", handleEvent) to a radio button, I get N calls to handleEvent when the user clicks on the radio button. I guess this kinda makes sense but is not what I want. I just want one event of a particular type (in this case "click") to be associated with the a particular component. I get around this issue by removing the event(s) in the I frame. Then they get reinstalled in the M frame. Only one at a time.
 
So, just wondering about this behaviour. Is there a way to check for the number of events that are currently active on a particular component? Better way to handle adding events?

Javascript :: Engage Events In JS And React To The Events ?

Dec 26, 2011

I am designing a music player using JavaScript (jQuery) and HTML5, with Flash AS3 to fall back. Basically what I want to do is to be able to click HTML control elements and have them interact with the flash in order to play/pause and skip tracks in the playlist (playlist JSON file read by JavaScript, passes file ID to AS3, AS3 reads another JSON file to get URL, then plays audio)

This enables me to only use the Flash to play the audio, thus creating the same user experience regardless of HTML5 browser support. I'm assuming I will have to 'listen' for events in AS3, however any pointers in how to engage these events in JS and react to the events in AS3

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using XML To Define A Button?

May 6, 2009

I'm wanting to use an XML file to define swfaddress deeplinking buttons so that "next" and "previous" buttons can be easily changed out by the client without having to edit the .FLA file.

In other words the .FLA file will have a series of labeled keyframes "frame_01," "frame_02," and so on the "next" button will have code in it that parses an xml file and inserts the correct frame for the deeplinking.

Code:
// LOAD XML
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var xmlData:XML = new XML();

IDE :: Using Arrays To Define Mc Color?

Aug 13, 2009

I know it's possible (and the answer must be under my nose) but I am at a loss as to how to accomplish this:I have 5 movie clips on the stage, and their instance names are in one array. I then have an array with hexidecimals that I want to assign the colors to the movie clip. So, in essence clipArray[0] would obtain hueArray[0] and so on and so forth. Here is the small code snippet I am working with.

stop();
var clipArray:Array = [one_mc, two_mc, three_mc, four_mc, five_mc];
var hueArray:Array = ["0xd50000","0xff9000","0xfcff00","0x00c91c","0x005 0d5"];

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Define A HitTest Area

Apr 16, 2009

I have a MovieClip with buttons inside that basically slides left/right based on mouse movement. Now everything works, I defined a hitTest for the MC movement but I need to reduce the zone where moving the mouse the MC slides.

here the code:

docWidth=1000;//stage width
stopping=false;
dx=0;//speed holder

[code]...

Now my problem is here this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,false)) I tried to change the _ROOT._XMOUSE,_ROOT._YMOUSE,FALSE with the instance name of another empty MC called hit_mc just to have a sort of a hit mask but didnt work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Define For Buttons On A Different Keyframe?

Jun 29, 2009

This probably has an easy answer, but I seem to be unable to find it myself.On frame 1 in the Timeline (in CS4), I have this actionscript:
 
var clickAreaLink1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.example.com/?=1");
btn_clickArea1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickArea_click1);
function clickArea_click1(event:MouseEvent):void
{
navigateToURL(clickAreaLink1,"_blank");
}

On a different keyframe, I have my button labled "btn_clickArea1." When I run the movie I get the error "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."My guess is because the button is on a different keyframe than the actionscript. However, I have four buttons that will need to be constantly updated, so I want the actionscript all in one place to easily update them. Is there a good way to get this to work?

Flex :: Define A Function In One Component From Another?

Feb 1, 2010

I'm a complete Flex/Flash noob, running Adobe Flash Builder 4 Beta 2. I have a main component that needs to be able to call several popups, each mostly the same except for one function and a few labels. Obviously, I'd prefer to be able to define this function and change those labels when calling the popup instead of having tons of .mxml files with nearly the same code, I just don't know how to do it. I figured out how I can change the labels, but not sure how to redefine the function.For simplicity's sake, let's say my code looks like this:

main.mxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Module xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" :s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
