ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding Event Listeners For Movieclip Inside Movieclip?
Nov 5, 2010
I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?

I'm new to Actionscript 3, and what I'm trying to do is build a navigation menu. What I did is I made a movieclip, added two listeners to it, MOUSE_OVER, and MOUSE_OUT, the MOUSE_OVER tells the menu to play, so it then animates the opening of it. The problem though, that when I put my mouse on the buttons themselves, the menu thinks that the mouse is out of it. I understand that the mouse left the menu itself and entered some other object. I thought of making a new rectangle, and on the mouse out, to check whether the mouse is really out of the menu's regions, it didn't work though.

I've an array of movieclips created via code that have some textfields. Then i have added some listeners to the movieclips.
Here the code:
Code:
arrNot[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, titoloOver);
private function titoloOver(e:MouseEvent){
var nome:String = e.target.name;
TweenMax.to(curs,1 ,{y:contMain.getChildByName(nome).y + 23});
}
This code moves a cursor calculating the y coordinate depending the moviclip that is mouse overed. Now the movieclips have some textfields so when i mouseover the movieclips all works ok but when i mouseover the textfield i receive a #1009 error.

I want one PopUp to show up at (a lot) of different instances. And something unique has to happen linked to that instance so my thought is:
popUp.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, instance1Handler);
popUP.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, instance2Handler);
etc...

I have a movieClip on stage, inside is a dynamic textfield, and I have set mc.scaleY = 0;
Code:
mc.scaleY = 0;
mc.buttonMode = true;
mc.mouseChildren = false;
And suddenly everything above and below (on the whole stage) where the movieClip actually is receives mouse, I can see by the button mode. But it only happens with dynamic text, not static.
I have attached the example:

I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?

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]

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Code:
private function initButtons() : void {
for (var i:int = 0; i<numSquares; i++) {
var thisButton : String = "button" + i;

What I want to do is be able to click a button that adds an Item to the stage and then you are able to drag the item around on the stage. I know how to do these things separately as in if the item is already on the stage I know how to add the code to drag it and I know how to create a button that brings a library item on the stage. How would I combine the two?

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");

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");
}}
