ActionScript 3.0 :: Accessing Object From Array Via Event Listener?
Mar 22, 2010
I'm pretty new to AS3, but I have not managed to solve the following problem: basically adding instances of a bitmap on the stage (working), but then adding an event listener and knowing which is which. So for the first part:

I'm having problems accessing a Event.COMPLETE listener for loading a php file:
Code:
function prepareD(){
//more code before
var hsloader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
What is happening is I'm creating a new URLloader, then loading the php, and I create a Event.COMPLETE listener, but when the load completes (I've tested with navigateToURL), the listener doesn't trigger. I've also tried putting the var before functions, but it doesn't work either...

I wanted to remove an event listener from main class stage, but i get the error 1120: Access of undefined property stage. How do I actually access the stage?
custom class:
import main;
main.disableVcam();
main class:
public static function disableVcam():void {
trace("disable");
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, movevC);
}

Alright, I've looked online at a bunch of different collision tutorials but they don't explain what I'm looking for. I want object A to hit object B and then execute a function via to a Event listener.

I have an event listener applied to an xml load and it currently traces out the values it grabs which is fine, but what I want it to do is return an array for me to use. I have the Array creation and return working from "LoadXML" (it returns the array) but I can't get this to work with an event listener.The event listener runs the "LoadXML" function fine, but I have no idea how to take the returned array for use, this is an example of how my event listener works right now:xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());and my assumption of how I would take the array (this doesn't work):var rArray:Array = xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());so instead I tried the following:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function():Array{
var rData:Array = LoadXML(datahere);
return rData;

I want to know how i can add an event listener to every item of an array.I know I can do it like this
Code: Select allvar stuff:Array = [MC1, MC2, MC3, MC4]
for (var i:Number = 0; i < stuff.length(); i++)[code].........
But it occurred to me; after coding for loop after for loop, that there must be some way to use the forEach(), or every() method to accomplish the same thing.

what appens when I add an Event Listener to Object Event?
Following the logic with the display list in AS3, I thought only Classes who inherit flash.display.InteractiveObject could react from events coming from mouses (or keyboard).

I have an subclass that is called from the constructor of the main class. The subclass is loading and parsing a .xml file for images. A Event Listener is waiting for the .xml file to load and the fill the image URL's into an array. This code works fine (tested), but here is my problem.
While the subclass is called in the constructor, I also have code that should display two of the loaded images by default. However, while the xml file is parsing and filling the array, the main code already continues on and tries to display the two default images on the stage. But this causes the program to break, because the code executes before the array is filled from the .xml file.
this is the error the program spits out : TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.using trace I see that it is trying to access the array but its undefined, because it hasnt been filled yet.
Here are the code snippets, concerning that problem.
//Main class code
//the constructor of the main code, which calls the loader class for the .xml
public function GameOfGames()
{
[code]....
Is there any way to make the code in the main class wait for the array to finish filling up before the main code moves on?

I was wondering if I had say 10 buttons and I wanted to add them to one event listener, is there a way to set up an array and attach them all to one event listener to cut down on code?

I've been lookign around for this but cant seem to find how to do it. How do you make a array of buttons then call it in a event listener? The idea is that I don't have to creat code for each button. it can just run it over for each button.

I have a movie clip being dynamically added to the stage via an AS3 linkage call:
gameOver_mc = new GameOver();
stage.addChild(gameOver_mc);
The movie loads as required.But when the movie has been added I want the user to be able to press spacebar and a function to run.So in the GameOver.as class I wrote the following:
Code:
package
{
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
[code]...
But as soon as the movie clip tries to load I get the error message: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I would have thought this would work fine. When I trace the statement in the Constructor function is works. Its only when I try to add an event listener that I get the problems. So am I not allowed to add event listeners from a dynamically loaded class?

I'm trying to add an event listener inside an object but it doesn't seem to work. other OO languages it makes sense for an object to be able to attach events etc itself rather than have some external action do it.Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Player extends MovieClip {
[CODE]....
This gives an error "1120: Access of undefined property MouseEvent." suggesting that I don't have access to MouseEvent from within the instansiated object.What I can do is create an instance of the class from the Document Class for example and then do the following:
ActionScript Code:
newInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newInstance.mouseClick);

Ok I have this 100% width/height Flash embedded and when the user moves the mouse I want to display a panel, which disappears after x seconds if there is no more mouse movement.
I think I need an addEventListener, but I am not sure MOUSE_MOVE is the correct one. When the mouse stops moving I need to start x seconds to hide the panel, so I think with a timer?

When you click on the button something happens. However it seems redundant to me that in the declaration of myListenerFunction, the event object e of class MouseEvent, actually has to have its data type MouseEvent mentioned.

I have an object with an Array of objects inside. Each object has a name property. To scope it directly I would use:
ActionScript Code:
obj._arrayOfObjects[0]._object name; // trace returns the first object's name in the array
if you understand this so far then here is an easy question for you.

I am having a weird problem with scope/reference. I am using a loop to preload a number of thumbs in one go, I am creating a different listener for each one on the fly and then passing event handlers for each one of them. This should not be difficult using a loop, but somehow I cannot access the the parent object on my listener and therefore I can't do much with my thumbs after they are loaded.Here is the relevant segment of my code. myThumb_mc is a temporary variable that does not exist when the loop finishes, you can copy and paste this code to test it though. It should work to that extent. (you'll need an image1.jpg to be in the same directory)
Code:
var myThumb_mc = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("myThumb_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
myThumb_mc.clipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myThumb_mc.clipLoader.loadClip("image1.jpg",myThumb_mc);[code].....
The code above works, but it does not look nice and it cannot be the right way of doing this. Long question short, how can I access the parent of a listener from a listener object? ._parent does not work.

I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.

if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?

My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.

I'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.

This is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.
I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:
