ActionScript 3.0 :: Create An Eventlistener For A Completed Event?
Jul 23, 2010
I have a tween I am calling in a function and I'd like a scale event to occur once the tween complete.I've never created an event listener dependant on the completion of another actionI'll ultimatley scale cntcnt XandY to the newly created scprop once the TweenLite event completes.
Below is the code which calls the tween. I'd
function clktwn(e:MouseEvent):void{
//create vars for x,y cordinates of clicked county (child)
I am trying to create an invisible button to add to my completed project and I have hit a snag because of AS3 which will not let you set actions on a button symbol. So I have tried a trick I was told about and wish to use the addEventListener code to attach an action to my button. My button is saved as a button symbol as well as been given an instance name but I am still getting errors I do not recognize. This is the simple actionscript I am trying to attach to the button:
stop(); //...script for inviso button...\ inv_link.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, inviso);
I am trying to extract the last part (after the last .) of what trace(evtObj.target) shows, but when i try to use the code bellow to do it i get some of the info i get for the traces EventOb=_level0.RightSide.instance435.Ath (or whatever it is that triggered the event) Legth=Undefined
i get Undefined for all the string commands i have tied
example for evtObj.target with _level0.RightSide.instance435.Ath i want to get just Ath
When the escape key is released, I close the deepest child in a tree-like structure, and then tell it's parent (which is now the new 'deepest child') to close when the escape key is released ... but I do that while such an event is triggered, that causes the whole chain to close.
Is there any shortcut way to add an eventListener to something like a select event for NavigatorContent. I am aware I can add a listener for a change event on the ViewStack and identify the selected NavigatorContent through that handler.
I'm new to AS3.0 Is there a good way to deal with many event listeners like say MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT for the same type of movie clips? I've been getting the following error if the mouse rolled over or out too fast.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at csAS/onSubmenuRollOver() TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at csAS/onSubmenuRollOut()
In my scrolling code I want to remove the eventListener for my reportStageMouse event, but I get an error: 1120: Access of undefined property reportStageMouse. I am trying to remove the listener in my mouseUpOnStage event. I assume I cant remove the listener because it's in a nested function? [code]
How can I access to an object who fires an eventListener event?
Let's say I have a mc:
var element = new MovieClip();
which has an eventlistener: element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, elementEventHandler);
[Code]....
So that is what I want to achieve... Recover the object who fired the event and then do crazy things with it (in this example, add another object in it).
pd: yes, I know I can directly use the var element in this snippet, but in the real code I'm generating the mcs in a loop, according to a xml file.
I want to call the same event handler function with a click and also with a custom event. the problem is the event type that needs to be passed to the function. Is there are generic event type that can be used to call the function from both places?
Code: menuBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuOpen ); function menuOpen(event:MouseEvent){
Trying to add event listeners to check whether my tiles are being pressed! This works excellent! They respond to the listeners BUT on the mose_down/mouse_up i can�t trace the tile variables The listener functions:
I have a MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL eventlistener setup for a custom scrollbar component that allows the wheel to control the scrolling up or down.Inside the Flash dev environment when I test the flash app it works fine. However, when I test the app inside a web browser ( which has its own vertical scrollbar ) the mouse wheel controls both the scrollbar in my flash app and the scrollbar in the browser.Is there a way to setup the eventlistener on my scrollbar that it prevents the MOUSE_WHEEL event from bubbling up to the browser?
At the moment I have this in Actionscript (for Flex) to create 26 labels in a BorderContainer (ID letters):
[Code]...
But when I click on a letter, only the letter Z is sent to the function getUsers. So when I'm creating labels from a for loop, only the eventlistener works for the last created label. How do I fix this?
If I have a Global Variable Globalvars.vars.noLoaded which is in many classes How do I create an event where i detect to see if it reaches a certain number.
I'm trying to create a series of scripts that will create some custom event listeners.
I have three movie clips on my stage. One is a movieclip who's sole function is to hold array's and the event listeners. A second which moves around the screen. And a third that is motionless.
The problem is that the argument I want to test (which activates the custom event) is held within a string.
What I want to know is, how do you test to see if the string argument is true?
Is it something similar to this:
var myCode:String="1<0";if(myCode){ trace('one is smaller than 0'); //Strangely apparently one IS smaller than 0!!! }
I think I'm going about this in the wrong manner, however this is the only way I can think of this working... (since I need to be able to dynamically create these events)
At the moment I create an onEnterFrame function to ease a movie clip into view. I then delete it. I want to be able to recreate a similar onEnter Frame function later to swoosh the movie clip out of view. At the moment weird things happen when I try and do the second onEnterFrame.I know I could put this all in the original onEnterFrame, but I don't wanna be wasting processor time doing an if statement every frame to work out if it's time to swoosh out the movieclip. Or should I not worry because that's negligible cpu time?
I have an swf, lets call it 1.swf, that has a button that calls another swf to level one. In that second swf, lets call it whatever.swf, on layer 1 it has an flv file of about 40 seconds. on layer two it has a button that has this action:
on (release) { unloadMovie(1); loadMovie("../swf/1.swf", 1); }
So if that button is pushed, then it unloads whatever.swf as I need it to.
the problem is that if that button is not pressed, then when that 40 second flv finishes, it just sits there with a black stage and the button. What i need it to do is that when that 40 second flv is finished, it automatically unloads whatever.swf on level 1, again showing 1.swf on level 0.
Also, before anyone anwers, the way i did the flv is that in whatever.swf the flv was imported to the stage, i slected the "already deployed" put in the URL and then it created a flash video component which is on the stage.
I'm loading a bunch of swfs into my movie and when they are finished loading I need to change each swfs color based on my xml data. My problem is when my Event.COMPLETE fires I don't know which loader it belongs to to retrieve the correct xml. I've tried giving my loaders names but I can't seem to access the name from the Event.Complete function. My trace causes the error: Property name not found on flash.display.LoaderInfo and there is no default value. How do I access my loader name?
I have tried to import a movie into Flash 8 and the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred". It will not pu the movie on to the stage. Do you think there is something wrong with the movie file or am I missing a step? This is what I do:
1) open a new flash file
2) file - import video
3) browse to find the movie file and then click next
4) Click the option 'progressive download from a web server'
5) I dont change any of the default settings and I don't want a skin on it
6) It runs through like it is making the file and then the message appears "The operation could not be completed as an error has occurred".
I am trying to create a video that can be streamed on a website. The video started with a screen grab of the video on frame one. This has the action on stop();. When this screengrab is clicked, gotoAndStop(2); is fired and the timeline moves to frame 2 and the video starts to stream. All is well... Except from when the video finishes...
When the video finishes I have tried using the code
on (complete) { gotoAndPlay(1); }
To go back to the origonal screen grab on frame one but it doesnt seem to budge.
i have a mx:AdvancedDataGrid control with animation on resize. And i need to resize another contol A accordingly with mx:AdvancedDataGrid size. But resizing of contol A is too slow.
Threrefore, the addition of resize handler is bad solution. I want to get the time when the animation is completely stopped either the new size of mx:AdvancedDataGrid control.
I am getting some strange results while loading large files dynamically, and testing my movies. Even if I delete the object in which the external file is loading, the bandwidth of the loading seems to continue. Either Im not doing a good job of cleaning up after myself, or the test environment when exporting a movie isn't accurate, or ... there is no way to cancel the effects of
[Code]...
Is this going to be the case online? (difficult for me to test right now) Is there a way to break off the loading once it has begun? (I thought by deleting the object that called the loading function, I would end the loading)
I have multiple functions in one frame. Each function runs an seperate animation. I would like to have the first animation run, and then as soon as that animation is complete, I would like to have the next animation play, and on so on.
I have been using this tutorial to get RPG text boxes in my game. So far, so good. The RPGtext.as I'm using comes from that tutorial, and hasn't been altered, while I'm calling the var arrays containing the character speeches from yet another document class. Something like this:
[Code]....
The dialogue begins and it's all good. Now, here's my dilemma: Is there a way to "shut down" the rpgText movieclip when the Dialogues.d1 has no more text to provide? Each time I press the rpgText movieclip, it refreshes with new text, but when it reaches the final text, I want to be able to press it and make it go away (remove movieclip from scene, something like that).
I tried the "if (Dialogues.d1.length == 0)", but it doesn't work. Is there a way to detect if the Dialogues.d1 has reached its final sentence? Will it be necessary to alter the rpgText.as?
I have a slidshow inside of a flash page. It works great on my desktop, but when I upload it to a server I get the infamous Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed. I initially assumed that I must have missed uploading a file, so I uploaded the whole folder, Photoshop files and all, thinking that I could start deleting things until I found the culprit. But even after I uploaded everything that I have, the browsers still gave me the same error with no slide show. I'm wondering if my call to the .swf (from inside a .swf) needs to be different on a server.[code]...
