ActionScript 3.0 :: Can't Get MouseEvents Fired From Children Of ScrollPane
Nov 16, 2011
I'm using a ScrollPane to contain a listing of sentences that sometimes have links in them. When the user clicks the links it does something.
When I don't put these inside of the ScrollPane the links work. When I put them in there apparently the ScrollPane is blocking the MouseEvents, or maybe it doesnt really register them since I don't know how setting the content works (if it adds the content as a child or draws it as a Bitmap inside or what)

I have the following code:
[Code]...
The problem I'm facing is not with loading the content of the Movie Clip, (though I might experience issues with that later when I try to load dynamic swfs) because as for now I just have placeholders on frames.
What I want to know is why my red squares on the left navigation keep getting smaller as I repeat the MouseOver and MouseOut events. It doesn't seem that these squares follow the logic of the code the way I have written it. Some of the code was generated from a previous post with the help of contributors.
Now I have again hit a slight snag with coding the math properly. Initially when I tested the code it worked fine without any "shrinking" going on. However, now with more code added the red navigation squares don't bounce back to their original states, they just keep getting smaller.

I don't know why but I thought that this was pretty swinteresting, that even if an objects' parent has mouseChildren=false; you can still have it dispatch and receive mouse events.
Code:
var a:Sprite = new Sprite;
a.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
a.graphics.drawRect(0,0,50,50);[code].....

Everything works just fine, except for the last msg gets only half displayed as if the scrollpane wouldn't scroll to the end.

I haven't been able to find a non-hack way to use Drag and Drop with the AS3 ScrollPane component.
Here's what I'm doing:
I create a container mc, which I then add a bunch of children to. The children are what I want to drag.
However, dragging is constrained to the boundaries of the ScrollPane. This seems to me like a limitation of the ScrollPane component.
I know it can be worked around with attaching a dupe mc to the cursor pos, then manipulating other mcs on mouse up, but..

I have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:
[Code]...
In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

The issue is visible sometimes when clicking the black rectangle, flash throws the click message, but ALSO the mouseOut message immediatly afterwards!

My code is correct, the code compiles (as you can see), it works fine in safari, but firefox 3.6 it up - it does NOT happen in 3.5.8!

I now have working code that creates a mask of about 2,700 children on a 650 by 450 image using a container to hold all the children's MCs.
Can anyone provide any help as to how I can access these children at once with a MouseEvent so that I could for instance change the alpha value of a child shape when the user rolls over it with their mouse.

I have a flash AS3 doc and some classes that I created. On one of the classes, it creats a sprite that may have a scroll bar, (which i also made - not the UIScrollBar component). This uses the MOUSE_DOWN event for scrolling.
On some other classes, there are some objects that use the MOUSE_OVER event.
The problem I have, is that if you click and hold the mouse button to begin scrolling, then move the cursor outside of this Movie Clip onto another with the MOUSE_OVER event, then that event will still fire. Also, if you MOUSE_UP and you are outside the Movie Clip (with the scrollbar) then the MOUSE_UP event does NOT fire, and the scrolling is "locked" on until you click inside that moive clip.
How can I prevent mouse events on objects from firing when the MOUSE_DOWN event is firing for scrolling? Also, how can I make it so the MOUSE_UP event will fire no matter where on the stage the mouse cursor is.
I can't seem to figure it out because the MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_OVER for the different objects have the eventListeners created in different classes.

I have some code that draws a line that follows the mouse and fades away over time, until now it was in the main file of my program but i want to make a class out of it for later use in other programs. I edited the code into a singleton MouseHandler class with one function that registers the mouse up and down events; with trace and 'hasEventListener' I found out that the events are registered but nothing happens when I press my mouse buttons.
Here is the class
package {
import adobe.utils.ProductManager;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code] .....
In my main class I just use
MouseHandler.getInstance().startListening(this);

I have a special canvas class covering my entire stage, and a bunch of Sprite hotspots on the layer below. If I put the hotspots on the same layer as my canvas, the canvas does not register MOUSE_DOWN events if my mouse is inside one of the hotspots, since the hotspots are targeted instead. However, if I keep the hotspots on the lower layer, the canvas handles all the MouseEvents. Is there any way to make MouseEvents target more than one thing, so that both the canvas and hotspots respond to MouseEvents? (The canvas is a bitmap drawing class and the hotspots are supposed to trigger when the cursor touches them or clicks on them.)

from the actionscript language reference in mx2004:
on()
Availability
Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2.
Usage
on(mouseEvent) {
// your statements here
}
Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2. <---- !!! which ones aren't supported? i couldn't find this in the AS2 docs anywhere.
and would this mean the same thing for this usage?
target.onMouseEvent = function(){
}

I made a spiral in pv3d using a mc for material and added a listener for the mouse events.Now the problem is that when i rollover my mc the rollover tween start and directly start the roll out tween.The clickhandler is rendered useless.So before adding tweenlite to the class everything works fine?

When I have a Label on a Sprite for example, it doesn't respond to MouseEvents, or at least not correctly. For example, if I set buttonMode = true on the Sprite, the label won't have the clicking cursor. Is there a work around for this? Other than stacking another Sprite on top of it which seems very inefficient.

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

I was just wondering if there are any problems that could arise from passing MouseEvents of different types (i.e. MouseEvent.CLICK or MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN) at different times to the same function? I've already built my project, and it seems to function fine, I just want to make sure that I'm not setting myself up for some problems in the future. I understand it's probably not the "cleanest" or "best practice" to construct my project in this manner, but if it works...
A simplified example:
PHP Code:
// This is the function that I want to call from varying places with different MouseEvents and triggered by different event listeners
function myFunctionA(evt:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
Actually, in writing that, I may have answered my own question, because it seems that myFunctionA is simply expecting a MouseEvent... regardless if that event is CLICK or MOUSE_DOWN or MOUSE_UP event, right? Now, a MouseEvent.CLICK may have different properties than a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP that I can access within myFunctionA; however, that shouldn't matter to the function, or is my thinking flawed?

been working for while in an AS3 project. realize now that any InteractiveObject on key tab focus doesnt invoke its MouseEvents, MOUSE_OVER AND MOUSE_OUT listeners. I know this is not suppose to happen automatically but in AS2 I would define at beginning of project a prototype action on MovieClip that it should rollover when on setFocus.Is there a way for me to set on the entire project that any InteractiveObject on key tab focus should invoke its MouseEvents if they exist?

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);

I have some textfield buttons which is basically textfields in sprites.The problem is that the textfields/sprites responding to MouseEvents properly.
eg. the alpha and rotation property doesn't work.
if I say set text button to alpha = 0 on mouse over it does nothing, or if i say set rotation to 180, the text button just disappears.
Has it got something to do with embedding fonts?and why when I embed my fonts do they not show?

I'm trying to rework an example found in the AS3 PDF manual, to work without the initial mouse click, but I'm not sure what to do.
The example is as follows (found on page 304 if you have the PDF) - I have changed it to move instead of fade, but didn't change the name of the function:

I made a very simple scrollBar using the MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN event, which works fine. The problem is I have a few other obejcts that have MouseEvent.Mouse_OVER events, and so if you are dragging the scroll bar, and then move it over one of the objects, the Mouse_OVER event fires. Is there a way to prevent this?

I had a dynamically created list of MCs that each had rollover states as well as click actions. Everything was working fine...
...Since the list was longer than the bounding areas that I wanted it constrained to, I added a mask to the container MC that was holding the dynamically created list (using AS3 - not through right-clicking the Layers). Now the list is still being generated, but the CLICK and MOUSE_OVER events are not working.
