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.

Is there anyway to solve this? It seems that after passing through the addListeners method, the loader instance gets lost.

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 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 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 :: Add Event Listeners To Dynamically Loaded Symbols?

Mar 26, 2010

I'm trying to dynamically load different MovieClips based on user input. Several of those clips have embedded url link symbols. How can I add event listeners to the url links if the dynamically loaded MovieClip does not have an instance name? Seems like I can (right?) apply an instance name when the clip is loading, but the event listener doesn't compile because the name is not there yet, so that seems out.

AS3 :: Flash - Removing The Event Listeners?

Dec 17, 2010

I have a basic question about manually removing event listeners in actionscript 3.If I have a function like:

private function doStuff(event : Event):void
{
//let them save
var f:FileReference = new FileReference();

[code]...

How do I remove the event listeners when the saveDone function is called? Normally I just change the "add" to "remove" like:

f.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,saveDone);

However, f is a local variable, and I can't get to it after the doStuff function ends.

private function saveDone(ev:Event){
f.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,saveDone);
}

Removing Event Listeners And Null Objects?

May 14, 2009

I was just wondering--and it's probably an obvious question really--if I make an object null and that object had one or more event listeners registered, are the listeners removed?

for example:

Actionscript Code:

object.addEventListener(Event.SOME_EVENT,callBack);
function callBack(evt:Event):void
{
object = null;

[Code].....

In this case have I removed 'object''s listener when I made the object null?

Professional :: Removing Event Listeners On Leaving A Frame

Mar 15, 2012

I have l modded some code that I am really happy with, it makes buttons bounce around for the user to try to click on when entering a certain frame.. I notice tha the code adds eventlisteners ENTER_FRAME to make this work, when you leave that frame there are now problems with null objects becuase the listeners are still on but the objects are not there anymore..
 
Ok so attempted solution - I can use a currentLabel on the main timeline to check if the correct frame is reached then use a function if (label is x) put listeners on else take them off... works but then I have to have these objects hidden on the timeline  and then add visible=true/false to my framelabel listener.. This works but part of my functionality here is that these movieclips that move are buttons that the user clicks on and they explode and dissapear- but now they dont because I have a code that says on that frame they should be visible..
  
The only thing I can think of is to have a blank frame at the end of the explode and put a stop on it.  Then add a gotoAndPlay(1) into my frame label code.  Seems very ugly, you guys got a better way?  Can I remove eventlisteners on leaving a frame?  Is there a code like LEAVE_FRAME??

ActionScript 3.0 :: Removing Event Listeners & Resetting Game

After you catch three sandwhiches, you lose and it takes you to an end screen, however, I'm unable to stop the listeners from being called, and when the game restarts, the food falls, but you're no longer able to catch it or keep score.

Oct 27, 2011

I have a game where i add some cartoonish ants, that when they are clicked, they need to be removed from stage. There are 4 differend kinds of ants, so im doing a Math.random for picking which one to add. (ant 1+2+3 have 50% chance to spawn and 4th 50%)

Code:
rnd_nbr = (Math.random() * 5)+1;

I have a timer doing 10 tick, and i reset the timer to make neverending. Then i have a math random and if sentences adding mc' to the stage with movement from Tweener, and event listeners for clicks. But i cant figure out how to remove them when clicked. I have done alot of failed tries right inside the click_candy_anty function. I've left them commented out.

Code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Event Listeners In Array

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 Event Listeners To Stage Buttons?
