I am having problems with a ChangeWatcher.Everything seems to be set up correctly.The canWatch method returns true, the isWatching method returns true and if I query the return value of the getValue method I get the correct information, including changes. But for some reason the handler function just doesn't fire.
View 1 RepliesSo I had a requirement to add an undo function to my app and I discovered this nifty ChangeWatcher class, but it's not doing exactly what I want and I'm hoping someone knows how.ChangeWatcher seems to monitor assignments to the variable reference. So when I say:
myXML = <xml/>
it fires off it's function just fine and dandy, but when I say: myXML.appendChild(thisOtherXMLVar)
I get nothing, even though the variable changes the reference doesn't so ChangeWatcher doesn't fire off the function.how to get ChangeWatcher to pick up on all changes to a variable?
I'm trying to add a custom callback handler to a NetStream client in a p2p application. The problem is, when I add such a handler, the NetStream Client doesn't function as it did before. It seems the NetStream.client object is changed. I know the default object is this. But changing the client to this doesn't solve the problem.The remoteControlStream, is the incoming stream. And the localControl stream is the stream being publishedThis is the localControlStream that's being send by the peer, and received as remoteControlStream:
private function initLocalControlStream():void{
localControlStream = new NetStream(nc, NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
localControlStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, localControlHandler);
localControlStream.publish(myPeerID+"control");[code]...
The onPeerConnect method of the localControlStream doesn't get called when I connect when the above handler is added. When I remove the that handler, the onPeerConnect method gets called.
I'm trying to implement a binding between some custom-built models and just beginning to dabble with the whole mx.binding.* collection. I tried this simple, stripped down example, but can't get the binding working correctly. Can somebody tell me where I'm going wrong?

whenever I try to call the removeMovieClip function in a callback handler, it just doesn't work! Maybe I'm tired, or I've just missed something this is apparantly obvious. In my code exert below, is just a simple script that attaches a movie clip to stage (square_mc) and creates a duplicate instance. When the component button is clicked, I want the original movie clip to be deleted, but nothing happens!
Code:
this.attachMovie("square", "square_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
square_mc.duplicateMovieClip("square_mc2", this.getNextHighestDepth(),
{_x:50}) var listener:Object = new Object;[code].............
Im using caurnia transitions, and I am adding an onComplete handler to fire up a onEnterFrame Event.
I just cant seem to pass the object through to the ENTER FRAME function so I can do something with it ..
Code:
Tweener.addTween(myObj, {x:10, time:1,onComplete:function() {this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, timer);} });}
function timer(e:Event):void
{
e.x += 1;
}
I've never needed it until today but I just found out that the alt key doesn't fire it's own keypress events. I need a way to detect when that key get's pressed - any ideas out there?

not that I especially need those but how can I rely on netStreamEvents if I dont know which is or isnt going to be fired....

I use movie clip as a button. Inside movie clip there are two movie clip, each one for a separated condition. On mouse over it goes on white one.On mouse out it returns on blue one.If it is pressed it stays white.Mouse out doesn't fire every time. It is placed on the white movie clip. It fires in 90 percent.Movie clip contains shape and two images inside.

I'm having a bit of an issue with a video player I'm building out. I THINK that it might be the encoding process on the backend that's causing this, but I can't be sure. Basically, when loading an .flv from a server, the NetStatus events and onMetaData received doesn't fire until the video is 100% loaded. This is causing some pretty major issues including not being able to play the video until it's fully downloaded (and these videos could be 20 minutes long for all I know).
View 0 RepliesI have some MovieClips with mouse linteners, but if I mouse out of a movieclip instantly on to another one the 2nd movieclips MOVE_OVER event doesn't fire. Is there a work arround for this? If you don't know what i'm talking about the flash can be found here [URL] Try mousing from one movieclip to another without hitting the background and the tooltip wont show up. I was thinking of finding the movieclip i'm over by looking at the x and y position of the mouse and comparing that to the x y and z of all the movieclips but i'm hoping theres an easier way.
View 3 RepliesI have a Flash-based SWFUpload upload button in a HTML page. I am trying to style that button. SWFUpload provides a Javascript setup interface to the Flash button's settings. I don't have Flash myself, so I have to work with the pre-compiled SWF file.

i'm trying to make a scrollable box, when a mouse enters and STAYS on "wrapper"'s area, "pubsBox" moves 10 pixels to the left.
<mx:Canvas id="wrapper" height="80" width="750">
<mx:HBox id="pubsBox" horizontalGap="10" height="80" width="100%" />
</mx:Canvas>
My problem is that I'm not sure how to make the MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER work, to recognize that the mouse is still ON the area and so pubsBox should continue to move 10 pixels to the left every second. I understand that i have to use a Timer, but what I'm concerned about is the fact that I can't get Flex to recognize that the mouse is still OVER "wrapper" and continue firing the event.
I've got a canvas within which I have a list. The renderer for this list calls upon a "Text" field, with the "link" element of this field set to a function. The "htmlText" of the field is set dynamically to a mixture of words and links. Basically the function checks to see which tag within the htmlText has been clicked and performs an event accordingly.However, you have to click the link twice for anything to happen. Whilst debugging the code I noticed that the function referenced by the "link" element isn't actually even called until the 2nd click.
<mx:Text
id="textCanvas"
width="100%"
color="0x323232"
selectable="true"
link="{lbl_link(event)}" />
I've changed the code a little bit to make it easier to follow, but the ActionScript is roughly as follows:
private function creationComplete():void {
textCanvas.htmlText = "Hello <a href='event:username'>" + username + "</a>";
}

I have a flash file that reads and XML file, it creates an empty movie clip in a placeholder (mc_image_holder) for each entry in the file, so 4 entries in the XML file = 4 movie clips inside the placeholder. it does this like so:
Code:
if(success)
{
var nm:MovieClip = mc_image_holder.createEmptyMovieClip("swfHolder"+i,-((i) * 10));
nm.loadMovie(filename);
[code]....
however, for some reason, the last created movie clip in the place holder never fires the onEnterFrame event more than once, so, If I were to trace the word "hi" I would only get it once, where as if I apply that to each of the other three that are created, it would put it many times, as it should.
I'm trying to load PNG images with ActionScript with a Loader object. This works fine for some of the images (the INIT and COMPLETE events are fired as expected), for some other it doesn't. I've read in this thread that a URLLoader might help, so I tried that, using the loadBytes() function afterwards. Still doesn't work: the URLLoader fires the COMPLETE event, but the LoaderInfo object does not.I've written a sample class that demonstrates the problem with two files (one working, the other one not).
public class LoaderTest extends MovieClip {
var output:TextField;
var loader:Loader;[code].....
All images were generated with the PHP GD library and I'm compiling with SWFTools's as3compile.The two images map_in_big.png and map_us_big.png are in the same folder (not allowed to post more hyperlinks).
I need to return to my original function after capturing an event (downloading something) with another function. The original function needs to return a value, which depends on the downloaded data. So, I'd like to pause original function for the time needed for the download and the eventhandler function to complete it's work, and resume it afterwards.
The obvious way is to set a flag value (both the original function and the eventhandler are within the same class) and make the original function check it until the eventhandler function changes the flag. But that would be wasteful, and my AS is slow enough already:) [other parts of the application utilise some heavy graphics]. Is there another way? Like an event that gets captured "in the middle" of the function? Or some other form of flow control?
Within my application I'm using a Scroller component. I can't seem to figure out which event I should set up a listener on in order to know when content is scrolled. I tried Event.CHANGE on Scroller.verticalScrollBar property but apparently that event doesn't fire when the user scrolls with a mouse wheel or arrow keys.
View 1 RepliesI am using NetStream to play some .flv files on local disc. My code skeleton is:
public class AdvertisPanel extends MovieClip
{
private var _video:Video;
private var _connection:NetConnection;
[Code].....
I used some .flv files that I download from YouTube to test; and I found that the handler metaDataListener would not be called when playing some .flv files, but some would. Is the problem caused by the video file? Because I may resize the video before play it on the screen, and I really need to know its original width & height.
if I put in the contentPath of a FLVPlayback component a file that doesn't exist, how can I catch an error event? (All files are loaded locally, without a FMS) I tried to dodge the problem using other events, but if the file doesn't exist, pretty much none of the events will work.
View 1 RepliesI have a series of symbols on my stage which represent lamps. Once a frame, I want to randomly select a lamp and switch it on if its off, or off if its on; I already have a working function which does this.
I have tried to use the onEnterFrame function to try and fire this function once a frame, but I don't seem to be having much luck, largely because I do not know how to use onEnterFrame correctly. So I have a movie where my function is fired only once when it is first run.
I've managed to design myself a pretty awesome little conundrum and I know there are some kickass Flash peoples here I'm working on site for a friend of mine in class. I built a Flash website for them, but I didn't want to make Flash based MessageBoards and Blogs, so I built those in PHP. You can see the website at: [URL] I can simply link away from the Flash website to the Messageboards [URL] But instead, i want the boards to slide down OVER the Flash website using Ajax and Mootools and Absolute positioning the div containing the Messageboard. That part's not important, what's important is...
How do I get my "the.BOARD:" btn, in the Flash site, to fire the Javascript function that'll make the ajax call and slide the div out over the flash site? Lets say the function is called "moveBoard();" Does anyone know of a way to fire this js function from the CLICK of a moveiclip in Flash? Let me know if anyone needs alittle more information.
I'm starting to learn classes and I'm doing a class that loads a textfile with a variable, using loadVars, followed by pure html text, then it applies css to the html text and displays it in a target textfield...I'm still new at this as I said so the code is very rough. I've worked out all the little kinks up to now..I'm stuck at one thing:When the text loads, the "loadVars.onLoad = function" is supposed to fire the css function that applies the stylesheet to the text, but I simply can't get the function to run...Is it impossible to call a private function from another private function in a class block?code:
Code:
class LoadHtmlText {

My document class is Controller It's constructor addChilds an instance of MenuScreen
MenuScreen has 1 button called 'gallery'. Clicking on it removes the MenuScreen from the document class and adds galleryScreen to the Document class.
After the galleryScreen becomes a child of the document class I add a keyevent listener like so:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
Here's a snippet of keyDownHandler:
ActionScript Code:
public function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

The Problem is: 1) I'm pressing LEFT arrow key like mad and nothing happens UNTIL I left click anywhere on the screen, THEN keyDownHandler works.
I've set up a function to pause the sound in an mp3 player whenever certain things are clicked on the page, using ExternalInterface, but I'm having a problem in IE.The setup is this: I have a video page that calls up a list of YouTube videos using RSS.he most recent video is displayed on the page in a div called "display". Then all the rest of the videos in the feed are displayed as thumbnails and links...If you click one of them, then the main 'display' video is replaced and it starts playing. All of that works fine.hat I want is for the mp3 player on the page to pause the music whenever a video is started.The ExternalInterface function works properly. Whenever one of the LINKS is clicked, the mp3 player stops and the video starts, etc.
The problem is that I also want it to stop when the MAIN video is clicked. Obviously, since this is an external video loaded from YouTube, I can't access the FLA to add its own ExternalAccess code.I've tried adding an ID to the video object and then using it as the selector in jQuery to call the stopMovie function...no go. I've tried adding a class to it, and then calling the stopMovie function when the class is clicked. I've tried putting the click function on the div that the video loads into...nothing works. If I remove the main video and just have an empty div, then click the div, the mp3 player stops...but if I load the video into the div and click it, nothing happens (in IE...it DOES work in FF).The Actionscript:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("stopMovie", pauseSound);
function pauseSound(str:String):void {

View 4 RepliesThe keyBoard event listeners call on the rotate and unrotate functions and based on the key inputs(A and D) will implement either of the functions and rotate the image or return it to the original upright position. However, I haven't been able to get the function to work. When I press the A or D keys on the keyboard nothing happens. I even put trace() in one of the functions to see if the function will even be implemented but I don't get anything. I put in my Scripts below. Why are the functions not working? Do the eventlisteners fire or are there conflicts?[code]...
