Capturing Mouse Events In Flash Outside Of Stage Doesn't Work In IE?
Jul 19, 2010I am trying to capture mouse events in flash while the mouse is being held down. The intention is to keep reciving events as long as the mouse is pressed, even if the cursor leaves the flash element. That's the behavior I get on all browsers other than IE, which only fires events while the cursor is inside the stage.
I'm pretty sure I've seen such "well behaved" flash applets work in IE before.

Jul 29, 2011I am implementing an application timeout feature (flex4). What I am finding is that mouse and keyboard events, which I have listened to with :
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, resetLastActivity);
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, resetLastActivity);
are being masked by the existence of any popup windows. The code is in a component, in the constructor. The component is added to the main application in the block.
How can I get these system generated events to not get stopped by PopUpManager display objects?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse And Keyboard Events Not Working In Browsers
Mar 22, 2011I have a SWF file that uses Mouse and Keyboard Events. When I test the SWF file in the flash IDE the events work fine. When I run the SWF file stand-alone with the Flash Player, the events work fine as well. But, when I open the SWF in a browser, neither mouse clicks or key presses register. Even if I puslish the SWF as a HTML, it doesn't work either.

Jul 16, 2009I have a key.addlistener setup to listen to key events. What I want to be able to do is to dispatch key events by for example a mouse click or just on load. I've tried a lot of possible solutions such as dispatchEvent with type as "onKeyDown" and "keyDown" etc.... but key listener simply do not treat it as a keyboard event.
Code:
var eventObj = new Object();
eventObj.type = "keyDown";
eventObj.code = 13;
eventObj.ascii = 'e';
dispatchEvent(eventObj);
Flex :: Activate An Application So The User Doesn't Have To Click Inside It To Start Getting Keyboard Events
Nov 26, 2010My Flex application is heavily keyboard-oriented. It uses 100% of the browser window and I'd like the user to be able to start using it immediately - as soon as it loads. However, it seems that the application is only first "activated" (i.e. the activate event fires) when the mouse clicks somewhere inside it, which is very inconvenient for my keyboard-heavy app.
Can I force an activation of my app at some point during/after it loads? I hope I don't have to display some silly "click inside to activate" overlay every time the page loads..
In certain browsers ([cough] Chrome [/cough]) the focus is lost whenever the user switches away from the browser (or even touches the address bar) and is not regained when switching back. So the solution has to take in consideration not just the first focus when the page loads but also "re-focusing".
Professional :: Use Keyboard Events To Trigger A Button Rollover Event Instead Of A Mouse?
Jun 1, 2010I created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed);
function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"scene");
}
Flash :: Make Flex Only Consume Mouse Scroll And Keyboard Events?
Feb 5, 2011This one's been irking me for a while. When I'm using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll up and down in a webpage, and a flash movie comes into the path of the cursor, the scroll wheel stops working. Also, when a flash movie has focus, you can't use browser shortcuts like Ctrl + L or Ctrl + R.
I'm writing a flex application now and I'd like to find a solution, so that at least my users aren't plagued by this inconsistency of the user interface behavior.
I should think there would be a way to tell flash to propagate such events as the mouse scroll wheel and keyboard input back up to the browser unless they occur in an element for which they are useful, like in a flex textarea. I can't find any solutions out there though, nor even anyone talking about it.
Specifically, how can I make it so that:
When the user is scrolling with the mouse, the browser scrolls unless the mouse is over a flex container with scrollbar, or another component that wants to scroll.When the user presses a button or combination of buttons on the keyboard, it will be propagated to the browser unless there is an active keyboard listener, or the cursor is in a text field, etc.
Javascript :: Detect When Key And Mouse Events Occur Inside Of A Flash Application?
Mar 5, 2012I've some very old Flash applications, which we don't want to rebuild to add a new feature. We simply need to detect when the user has become idle. So, if the Flash application receives no key or mouse events after 3 minutes, we want to track that time till the user interacts with the application again.
We've considered wrapping the applications in newer Flash applications to include the key/mouse event tracking; however, early research shows that some of our apps are so old that they use event systems or AVM's (ActionScript Virtual Machines) that are incompatible. Also, it seems that mouse events on the inner application don't bubble up to the outer application. (I think the direction of event processing is backwards in versions of Flash prior to 8)
Anyhow, the next idea on the table is to see if we can determine when the user stops interacting with the old Flash applications using JavaScript. Can anyone confirm whether or not it is possible to detect, using JavaScript only, when a swf in an HTML document loses focus or key and mouse events stop and start occurring on the swf?

Flex :: Capturing Combined Keyboard Inputs?
Nov 23, 2011I am looking for a solution in Flex where I can capture a combination of keyboard inputs such as: [CTRL] + A + B
That is, pressing the CTRL key and the user presses two keys (instead of the usual one).
I can capture the event when somebody keys: [CTRL] + A with the following code:
if (event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode == 65)
How would I capture an additional key so that the event is captured when somebody presses CTRL, A and B?
ActionScript 3.0 :: Keyboard Event Capturing In Linux?
Aug 19, 2009I came across this annoying bug in Linux.
consider this code as timeline code:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.utils.getTimer;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
[Code]...
(haven't tested in Mac, I deleted my mac vm as it wasn't accurate)
What is going on is that just after a KEY_DOWN event, a KEY_UP event fires, even though you didn't release the key.
Now as for where this bug is located, I'm not sure. It could be with how flash integrates into the already present keyboard interface of the OS, or it could be the OS's keyboard interface itself.
But see either way, it's something I can't control. I can't change flash player, nor can I change the keyboard interface of the OS (well I can, but what about other users with Linux?).
So what I need is a way around this. To side step this key up event when the key up didn't actually occur. Because this is causing some majour issues with my KeyboardController class.
[edit]
furthermore it makes me wonder what might be going on in Solaris.
I think I'll reinstate my vm's of Solaris and Mac OSX and see.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Keyboard Events (movie Clip Moves Via Keyboard Control) And Scenes
Nov 7, 2009I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

Flex :: Adobe AIR Application To Receive Back Events From Native Windows Application?
Oct 8, 2010I'm trying to develop a simple mxml Flex application to start Skype from the AIR/Flashplayer runtime. Is it possible to get back events from a native Windows application? In the simple example of Skype, the OS returns control to the Flex app when Skype exits. But what about native applications which have their own event model and wants to communicate with the Flex event model. For example, a Face detection system which shows "Hello" on a Flex app when the camera detects a face. Can this be done in the current Flex framework?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Board Class - Capturing Mouse Click
Mar 25, 20111. I create a board class in board.as as so,
public class board extends Sprite {
public function board(p1:Number = 0, p2:Number = 0, p3:Boolean = true) {
this.mouseEnabled = true;
addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, go);
} private function go(e:MouseEvent) {
trace("mouse clicked");
}}
2. In .fla, I declare the document as an instance of the board class.
3. Clicking anywhere on the document's UI, no tracing output.
4. If I put a textfield as the child of board object (by adding these lines,
var tf:textField = new textfield();
---
addChild(tf);
In the constructor), I do see above trace() working.
What am I missing? How can my board class receive mouse click?
Actionscript 3 :: Iphone - Touch Events Vs Mouse Click Events?
Jan 11, 2012Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?

By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Mixing Stage Mouse Events And Children Events?
Sep 30, 2009I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).
