I have added a listener to the stage to close a loader object when the stage is clicked. The problem is the click seems to effect the loader object to (basically when you click the loader it calls the click function attached to the stage). Is that to be expected? I suppose it makes sense, but is there a way of adding a listener to the stage that excludes certain objects?

im trying to create a separate class so i can create a custom mouse. But i need to make it so that every time the mouse moves then something happens. as in it dissapers and after 5 seconds the timer resets. I have the code and it works in my .fla file, but im not sure its possible to put it in a class file and have it be the class of the .fla.
View 16 RepliesI have a drop-down menu that stays open when I click it, until I click it again. I want it to close when I click away from it. So I created an event listener of type MouseEvent.CLICK and apply it to the stage.
The obvious problem is, though, that when I click the drop-down menu to make it open, I'm also clicking the stage, which prevents it from opening.
I think there's probably a simple solution to this but I'm stuck. I called stopPropagation() on the drop-down menu and that seems like it should help but it doesn't.
I have two scenes in flash - when you go to scene 2 there is a eventListener attached to the stage to move a movieclip. When I test the movie the only way the keyboard listener seems to work is if I click on the stage first, then the object will move. Is there a solution to this. The code I am using is:

There is a button inside MovieClip1 and once it is clicked movieclip2 apeares inside movieclip3.

I am trying to trace the results of my listener when the browser is resized...no avail. Are you able to see what I am doing wrong?
I am loading data from XML and can create MovieClips to hold the images and text data for each node. However, I can't figure out how to add an onRelease Event Listeners to each MovieClip.

I am successfully tracing a string as either "login successful" or "login unsuccessful" from a PHP file on a local host and it traces as working in my Login class. Now I want to listen for the "login successful" string, currently tracing in my Login class and if it works, call an EventHandler in my Main class which will execute the next step.
Here's my code so far

private function onLogin(e:Event):void

View 4 RepliesI'm loading .JPGs into loaders, setting the alpha of the loaders to .5 and would like to add a ROLL_OVER event to set the alpha to 1 then back to .5 on ROLL_OUT.Here's what I've got so far and it works well.
var ldr1:Loader=new Loader();var url1:URLRequest=new URLRequest("thumbs/1t.jpg");ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done1);ldr1.load(url1);
function done1(event:Event):void{ event.target.content.alpha=.5; event.target.content.x=currentX; //currentX & Y are already set event.target.content.y=currentY; addChild(event.target.content); currentX+=event.target.content.width;}
NOW, I'm trying to add the MouseEvent and can't figure out what to add the listener to - the loader or its content?
ldr1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOn); <<<<--- this doesn't work.
ldr1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOn); <<<<---this doesn't work either.
I have a button which adds an Event.ENTER_FRAME listener. Once this listener has been added it's quite possible that the user might click the button several times more. Is the same Event.ENTER_FRAME listener triggered again when the button is clicked again? or does Actionscript ignore the command to create the listener again since the listener is already running?
I'm worried about memory leaks, and I'm worried that Actionscript might create multiple Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners with the same name, but it would suit me best if I could allow the user to click the button as many times as they want.
Basically, I'm having trouble with depths causing components to display on top of some combobox drop-downs. So basically I made a listener that will listen for focusIn and swap the depth of the combobox to the next highest to bring it to the front when the user clicks on it. No, rather than write a line to apply this listener to each combobox on the stage, is there a way to apply it to the combobox component in general, so it will effect all instances of the combobox component?
So changing this:
ActionScript Code:
var combobox_listener:Object = new Object();
combobox_listener.focusIn = function():Void {
this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
}state_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);
county_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);
city_cb.addListerer(combobox_listener);

for one of my project I need to recive some x,y data from a socket connection. I recuired do some movement for moveclips those has the x,y in its bounds. kind of mouseover event.
what I fegured out is, if I can dispatach a event and add a listenr to all my movieclips the moveclips will know that new data recived and it will check that the number and do appropriate action.
but the problem is I can dispatchEvent but if I add a listener to my movieClips it doesn't work.
/// this way works ///
function readResponse():void {
var str:String = readUTFBytes(bytesAvailable);

Or do you have to add them to every instance?
View 5 RepliesI have what I think is a scoping issue with a listener. I have a movie clip which contains several picture management functions. I want to add a listener to it so that the next image loads before it is processed. Where do I put the listener - In the MC or in the root? At the moment, I have it in the MC but it does not run the function. I created a test function in the root which runs the listener no problem.

On the main timeline, I have placed a movieclip (movieclipone) which contains some content. On frame 85 of movieclipone, there is a new keyframe which contains a movieclip that hasn't previously appeared in the movieclipone timeline, (moviecliptwo) which contains four buttons (btnone, et cetera).Is there a way to have code in the main timeline that attaches listeners to the buttons inside moviecliptwo, which, when pressed, trigger a function that increases a counter and tells movieclipone to go to the next frame? This is the code I am using right now:
stop();
movieclipone.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);function onEnter(e:Event):void [code]........
When I debug the movie, I get this error at frame 85:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
After adding a mouseListener via Mouse.addListener to my flash movie the mouse wheel event is not bubbling to the browser when the mouse cursor is placed over the flash moviePeople all over google are complaining that in AS3 the event is bubbling and it is hard to stop it but in AS2 I wasn't able to find a solution to get the behaviour just as it is in AS3.Some code:
var mouseListener:Object = new Object();
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
trace("mouseMove");

am loading an image onto stage dynamically. When I click on the loaded image, i am drawing a circle/rectangle[which is of Sprite type] at exact pixel-position on the image and making these circles/rectangles(Sprite_objects) visible there itself. In this way, I am adding as many number of Sprites_objects, till I continue clicking on the same image present on the stage.
The code in my application(which displays red colored rectangles when you click on the image) is as follows:
If you copy the code into ur actionsPanel directly,then make sure "image1.jpg" file * is present beside the .fla file.Since it gets loaded iff it is present in same directory.
*/ var myContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var temp_x:int,temp_y:int; //Loading an image dynamically and adding listeners... var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("image1.jpg"); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(urlReq);[code]....

I have a button with a MouseEvent.CLICK listener. The CLICK event is being triggered when the button is pushed, mouse is down while rolled out, then released when rolled in on the button again. I do not want this to happen, the click event should not occur when the button is being dragged.
My flash file contains a large amount of buttons and click listeners, I would like to solve this problem with as little code as possible. What is the simplest solution to this problem?
I would like to know how to compose a click mouseevent of different objects in one listener, if ever that's possible.What I wanted to do is make this listener universal for all the button clicks like:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicker);
function clicker (e:MouseEvent):void{
if (frame2_btn is clicked){
gotoAndPlay(3);
[code]....
I put together this button for statement. Now if I put
ActionScript Code:
for (var m:int = 0; m<btnArray.length; m++){
btnArray[m].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickBtn);
function clickBtn(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code].....
not sure what to do, it compiles correctly no errors given when buttons are clicked, it just doesn't let me do anything w/ the "pressedBtn" variable outtside of the for loop that it's in.
I have a button and I'd like to have the user right click on the button and then display the menu that will allow them to copy the highlighted text, but I'm getting the infamous 1119: Access of possibly undefined property RIGHT_CLICK through a reference with static type class. What am I doing wrong?
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();
