ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Event Listeners To MovieClips - Arrays And For Loops

Jan 31, 2010

I'd like to add event listeners to movieclips (already on the stage), whose names are called from an array one by one, into a for loop.

Code:
// there are 4 movielcips on the stage with name a1 - a4.
// create array
var Bro:Array = ["a1","a2","a3","a4"];
// for loop
for ( var i:Number = 0; i < 4; i++) {
// Add event listener to array values to buttons.
Bro[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, roll, false, 0, true);
//execute this function on rollover
function roll() {
trace("why wont my arrays work in for loops");
}}

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button MovieClips Loops - MouseOut Event Listeners

Apr 20, 2009

I have a button that is a movie clip that is set up with animations triggered with MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event listeners. The glitch is that once the mouse is over the button ... each ensuing pixel that the mouse is moved, loops the animation again. That probably didn't make a whole lot of sense, so I posted the file on my test site [URL]. You have to drag your mouse slowly across the button to see this. The bottom part of the button works as I'd expect. When you roll over the text at the bottom of the button, everything functions as it should. The looping problem starts when you roll over the image portion of the button. For some reason it considers each consecutive pixel rolled over to be a new event and consequently triggers the "over" animation again.

The code I have is below. I've commented out the MOUSE_OUT function for now. There is also a screenshot at the above link of my Layers palette for the button clip in question. I put a "stop" label at each frame that has an action so you see the actions used.
oneBedButton_mc.buttonMode = true;
oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overEffect);
//oneBedButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outEffect);
function overEffect (e:MouseEvent) {
oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("over");}
function outEffect (e:MouseEvent) {
oneBedButton_mc.gotoAndPlay("out");}

Actionscript 2.0 :: Adding Properties And Event Listeners To Dynamic Movieclips?

Dec 8, 2009

I have done this same thing in ActionScript 3, but am not familiar with ActionScript 2, which I am forced to use for this project. I am loading products into a SWF via XML and attempting to add a click event to each dynamically-created movieclip. Simply tracing the text from a node in XML will do for now. I'd like to assign a property called "desc" or "description" to each movieclip and have it trace that property's value when clicked. Here is the relevant portion of my code as it stands:

Code: Select allvar iXML:XML = new XML();
iXML.ignoreWhite = true;
iXML.onLoad = init;
iXML.load("http://localhost:8888/products.php?p=Shortboards");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding And Removing Event Listeners On Dynamically Loaded MovieClips?

Jan 21, 2009

I've created a drop down list and populated it with dynamic buttons. (I made a DropDown_btn class with a dynamic text field in it and then filled the button text from an xml file). On rollover I tint the button blue and then set the tint back to black on rollout. When you click on the button I'd like it to stay blue until a different button is clicked.

I thought on CLICK I'd run a function like this:

ActionScript Code:
function removeRollover(evt:MouseEvent):void {
evt.target.transform.colorTransform=c;
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, btnOut);
evt.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, btnOver);
}

...and then I need to addEventListeners back to any button that doesn't have them and set that button back to black. I could do this by looping through an array of the buttons but I can't figure out how to access them as objects.

I also gave them each a property of "buttonValue" when I loaded them so I can access event.currentTarget.buttonValue (which in this case is a number from 1-5) but once again I can't figure out how I might leverage this information.

Actionscript 3 :: Loops And Event Listeners?

I have an array that returns multidimensional data from an mysql database, when this is collected the createNews function creates the user interface. The problem I am having is the loop is iterating quicker than the UI is being created, is there a way to use event listeners with loops so it only continues after my function has completed its work?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Listeners Added In Loops?

Aug 5, 2009

I'm trying to set up a simple button navigation system with a for loop that pulls a mc out of the library "i" number of times, adds it to the stage, then adds an event listener to it with a unique function name -- something like "onClick1, onClick2, etc", but with onClick[i] somehow in the loop instead.

var btnArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i:uint = 0; i<6; i++){  var myBtn:btn = new btn();  btnArray.push(myBtn);  addChild(btnArray[i]); btnArray[i].x = i*50+50;

Actionscript 3.0 :: Buttons Event Listeners And For Loops

Jun 20, 2010

I want to say that everything I code and work with is created through a main class and added to the stage through actionscript, the stage is completely empty before running.I've got a button in my library, and I create 8 of them and add them to the stage. I also add them to an aaray which i then compare in a for loop to add an event listener to them. I do it this way because they all run the same function. Each of the 8 buttons has a variable which is unique to that specific instance which I will use to do execute different sections of the function that gets called when I click one of the buttons.[code]

I am trying to create a drag and drop activity, and I would like to use an array for easy reusability.I'm new to as3 so I've been adjusting my old as2 code. I am using a component for each of my drags and most of it is working well.My problem is with the event handlers. I use the array to populate all of my 'drags' with the information added in their parameters and this works, but when I create my event listeners it seems to only want to move the last item in the array.My drag components are called drag1, drag2, and drag3.[code]

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Event Listeners To Dynamic Bitmaps?

Sep 24, 2009

I've created this code to loop through an array of image names and load them to the stage. Currently I'm just stepping them down 175 pixels each, which eventually I'll want to offset by the height of each of them (but I'm having an issue with that too  lol ). Anyway...my question is, I've seen code to add event listners to each movie clip dynamically, but that code was working on static movie clips. I want to add the listners to my dynamic images and I'm not sure what that should look like.

[Code]....

I know this isn't correct, specifically in the captureAllClicks function...but I'm not sure how else to reference the current item since it was dynamically generated.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding / Removing Stage Event Listeners

Feb 6, 2009

I'm adding and removing stage event listeners I am relatively new to AS 3 and have been building a liquid layout site unfortunately I do not have a strong grasp of classes and have been doing all of my scripting on the main timeline with encapsulated script within MC's.

basically I am calling on the same functions over and over and those are mostly resize functions which I have added StageEventListeners on the appropriate frames to listen for resize events on that stage now as of now I have literally dozens of these scattered about the site. when testing my site things are running fairly smoothly however I keep getting error messages in my output window that go a little something like this.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Event Listeners To Stage Buttons?

May 11, 2010

I have 22 buttons (each named buttoni where i is a number between 0-21...e.g. button0, button1, button2) that I've created and artfully arranged on the stage in my .fla file. The document class for the .fla file is People.as, and in People I'd like to give each button a rollover and click event listener, but I can't figure out how to refer to them using a loop.

Here's my code, which obviously doesn't work:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding MovieClips To Container Versus Arrays

I have here 2 options here of adding movieclips to a container, but I don't know which one is better. I want to know the pros and cons of each one. Also, What of the options is faster?. (i mean, which one uses less processor and memory resources?.

Option 1.
Code:
Select allvar container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
stage.addChild(container);
for (var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
var tank:Tank = new Tank(); //Tank is a movieclip in the library.
container.addChild(tank);
} MovieClip(container.getChildAt(2)).visible = false;

Option 2.
Code:
Select allvar container:Array = new Array();
for (var i:int=0;i<10;i++){
container.push(new Tank()); //Tank is a movieclip in the library.
stage.addChild(container[i]);
} container[2].visible = false;

Actionscript 3 :: Flex Adding Event Listeners With Callback Functions Which Have No Arguments

Jun 10, 2009

fileReference.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, uploadCompleteHandler);
private function uploadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {}

Above is one way to add an event listener in Actionscript. By default the callback function needs to have an argument with name event and type Event. Is there a way to declare this function without any arguments :

private function uploadCompleteHandler():void {}

Edit : It's possible to add an event handler without any arguments in mxml. So one student wanted to know, why isn't it possible to do the same in actionscript?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing And Adding MovieClips To/from Arrays Based On A Variable?

May 8, 2009

On my stage I have 5 items labeled item1_mc, item2_mc, item3_mc and so forth...they all have two keyframes on their respective timelines, one labeled "active" and the other "inactive". My code contains 2 arrays, inactiveArray and activeArray and a variable known as energy that regularly goes to and from 0 - 100.What I am looking to achieve is basically the function of...if energy >= "insert given items 'active threshold' 20, 40, 60, etc..." then add it to the activeArray, if it is not, remove it and add it to the inactive array.

all objects in activeArray gotoAndStop("active");
all objects in inactiveArray gotoAndStop("inactive");

I have tried many different ways of achieving this effect but I always end up with duplicates and extras or something doesn't move when it's supposed to, where it's supposed to, it just ends up into a giant cluttered mess and I start from scratch.
