ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Event Listener To A Button Within A Movie Clip?
May 1, 2009
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:
I would like to know if it is possible to pass a clip event on to both the function that has a listener, and to the button that is being pressed. I am finding the listener takes it and thus the button doesn't see it.I found a walk around, however, I'd like to know if it is possible say for one clip event to be seen by both objects?For example, with the mouse over a button the listener function detects the event and carries itself out, however, the button misses the event now.
I'm in one movie clip and want to remove an event listener set in another movie clip
the following code brings up an error
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at GemoroBovoMetzia23b_fla::Draw_Tool_7/toolsbtn()
So in my toolsbtn function I have written the following code which doesn't work Object(root).slides_mc.help_btn.remove.EventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Object(root).PresentationHelp);
I am having problems with a flash project I am working on (flash cs5.5, as3).I have a movie clip with some animation in it, and when it reaches a certain point, I want it to call out a function that is on the first key frame on the stage (as in on the main timeline and not in a movie clip...).This is what I have so far in side that movie clip:
Im having some trouble getting the syntax right. I have a movie clip that adds sounds to an array when it is touching other movie clips. I have a stop button than i want to remove the event listener of the bar and send back to the original position. My code is:
I created a movie clip (mcPopup), deleted it from the stage, and set it to export for ActionScript. I then set up the movie to attatch the clip to the stage and then load a JPEG image into it. Now, I need to be able to let the viewer dismiss the popup, but I cannot figure out how to add an event listener to the movie clip. I tried several different ways, but the popup doesn't seem to be clickable and doesn't respond to clicks (perhaps the image is in the way?) Here is what I have for the code for the thumbnail the visitor clicks to open the popup:
on (release) { _root.attachMovie("mcPopup", "popup_mc", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
I'm amended a AS2 movie, which is a rotating banner add movie. In this movie there is a button which is always visible throughout the movie. I need to add a onRelease behaviour onto this button, so that it can call a JavaScript function when clicked.
I'm new to Flash, I have done some Flex work, but no Flash. How can I add the onRelease behaviour to the button and have it available through out the movie. I know how to convert the button to a movie clip and add the onRelease behaviour but it only lasts one frame, how do I make available through out?
if i have a movie clip with an even listener attached to it, is the event listener being removed automatically when the movie clip is removed from the stage or should i always remove the event listeners manually?
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 have recently moved from AS2.0 to AS3.0 and I am trying to get to grips with event handling. I am managing for things like key presses and mouse clicks
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
PHP Code:
private function onLogin(e:Event):void { var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);
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.
My application creates instances of a movie clip (located in the library) based on XML data. Now I want to add individual button functionality to these instances, and I'm stumped.
I'm basically creating instances of clickable doors, the data of which are fetched from an external XML file. The number of doors (doorCount) is calculated directly from the number of "door" nodes in the XML, so it needs to be fully dynamic. Essentially, I want to have a single function that each instance can use by passing in their individual XML data. Clicking a door would first open the door (or something similar), and clicking it again would lead to a link, listed in each instance node.
Here's the loop, where the instances are created:
[Code].....
I don't really know where to begin. Am I able to declare an eventListener inside the loop? How do I pass the "number" of the door to the function called by the eventListener? Or should I somehow pass the door-specific link (and any other node data) to the function directly from the loop?
I added a button symbol to a movie clip in a Flash 8 project, and the button works. OnPress it redirects to a web site.However, the animation in the movie clip becomes diabled. I get the same effect regardless of where the button is placed, e.g. scene1 timeline, movie clip, etc.
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);
I feel like I am not 'getting' something very simple here:I have a bit of AS3 which uses a loop to draw X number of circles which are placed as data points on a 2-dimensional line graph:
Code: var circleSize:uint = 10; var line:Shape = new Shape();
I have an interesting problem that I'm attempting to solve and I could use some pointers.Here's a basic run down of the AS3 script:[code]The problem is that the event listener always pulls the url from the last object in the array when you click any sprite (as would be expected).What is the best way to have the event listener only deal with the specific url of the specific iteration that creates it?
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.
I am developing a multiple choice question answer. I have a movie clip in frame 2 where the radio buttons and question choices are displayed.I am trying to define a event for the radio button in the movie clip's first frame. But i show questions in random order. Say for example the first question to show is fifth I move the movieclip to 5th frame. The event is not firing since it is declared in the first frame.Should i place the button event code in each and every single frame or is there anyother option for this.
So I have an array of eight mcs arranged in a circle around a larger mc and I want to make it so the user can click and drag any one of the mcs in the array and it will cause them all to rotate around the larger center mc. I can rotate one clip around using an ENTER_FRAME listener but since I want them all to rotate and not until the user clicks and drags.
Baisically I've created a button using symbol and I want the button to move a movie clip up the y axis by 4 every time it is clicked (move the movie.) I really don't know how to do this. This is what I currently have but its not ActionScript:
There is a bad gap in my knowledge with Event Dispatch and Event architecture, and this problem proves it. I've been getting nowhere on this problem for two days, I've posted everything to my Flash site. Go here, please: [URL] Click on "Flash Banners" The two thumbnails represent two different classes. Each class is identical. Both are "extends Movie Clip" classes. Tweeners of various types control the hover and click methods. URL Loaders load the thumnails which I then wrap in MC's and make them buttonMode = true, etc. Hover and click to load the Banners on the thumbnails.
I can't send an event from the Eagle movie clip or the T2D movie clip to tell the other to fade out. Both Banner classes are instantiated through a separate Base class. I'm sure this has to be an Event Dispatch from one MC to another and that it can't be done by the Base class. how I can send an Event or Event Dispatch and what the code structure is so one movie clip can in one class can tell the other movie clip in the other class to disappear while it's neighbour is playing. I'm happy to post code or explain / clarify anything that's not clear.
All my other instances I can access on my main movie from within my main movie except my button named play_game. Whenever I tried to trace or access it, it says its null. Do I have to do something special in order to access button instances?
I'm trying to fetch some data from php to flash and print it in a dynamic text field. I know this might be a silly question but i cant seem to work out how to get flash to process the code text_field.text = data.return_msg; without it needing an event listener.So i want the code to be processed as soon as flash discovers it basically.this is what i have at the moment:
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables("get_blog_info.php"); // Build the varLoader variable var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;[code].... a nd i get this error:
I'm trying to create an Event Listener used with all buttons placed on the stage rather than a listener for each button object.Are coding examples of a class listener?
I'll keep this simple (I hope). There's a button with an event listener on a frame of the main timeline. You click the button to go to the next frame and a movie clip plays. The instance of that button doesn't exist on that next frame. Does the event listener for the button automatically get removed when you go to that frame since the button doesn't exist there?
The movie clip is set up to send the main timeline back to the previous frame when it's finished and my event listener seems to vanish when I go back to that frame.
