ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Event Won't Trace?
Feb 18, 2011
So, I have this ball that bounces around the stage. I need to have a textbox update each time the ball hits the side of the stage.I created a custom event to make this happen...but right now I'm just trying to make it trace so I can be sure the events are listening and responding to the ball bounce...but it's not working. I must be missing something.Main Class
PHP Code:
package com.chandelle{
import flash.display.MovieClip;

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));
Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent
The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.
This is my custome event
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import ui.map.MapElement;

I'm programming a little tank game (Check the attachment). The main class for tank is game.serovkonstantin.tanks.Tank.as and there are also 2 subclasses for now: Abrams and T90 which extend Tank. In my game.serovkonstantin folder I have a custom event (TankEvent), and the only event type inside of it which is TANK_INACTIVE.
I've added an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK to each of the tank instances (inside Tank.as) which works just fine. When I add any of the tank instance onto the stage and click it, it traces the tank's name just like I wanted whether it's Abrams or T-90 depending on what tank I clicked. But the problem is that when I click a tank I also want it to dispatch my TankEvent.TANK_INACTIVE. The main stage has a listener for this event, so I expected it to catch the event and trace some phrase, but nothing happens I don't know whether it doesn't dispatch my event or doesn't catch it.
========
if you're interested why I need to dispatch this event, well,I suppose it will help my game know what tank to move when I click somewhere on the stage, and what tank(s) should be inactive,event it they all of the same type. I mean if I click one of the tanks it accepts all the controls while the other should be inactive

I hava a custom component and it contains a child icon. If I add a mouse-click event listener to both component(click-listener1) and icon(click-listener2), the event dispatched sequence is click-listener2, then click-listener1. I can understand it. But if I add a custom event to component (listener1), and mouse-click event to icon(listener2), when icon is clicked, the component will dispatch the custom event. In my test, the event dispatched sequence is listener1, then listener2. It doesn't match with event-bubbles rule.
In my opinion The custom event is dispatched in listener2, which triggers listener1. Why event flow sequence is not listener2, listener1?
In component.
icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, iconClickHandler);
private function iconClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{

I have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:
package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..
So to sum it all up:
- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.
- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.
Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.

i am a bit embarassed to ask this, but i do this so much i have to ask. Occasionally, i need to pass/handle custom events on the fly. Rather than creating a whole custom event class, i will just do something like
Code:
myObject.dispatchEvent(new Event('thisCustomEvent'));
//and then handle it later

I have a custom Flex 4.5 component (to be used in a List) -
Game.mxml (represents a clickable playing table in a card game):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:ItemRenderer [code].......
But I never see the "game clicked: " trace. Does anybody please know why? I'm probably missing something minor, because I can see the "Clicked: 8946" trace.

This is similar to the question asked here. I am dispatching custom event "ShopEvent" but i am getting error "Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent"Note: Error is thrown from the parent custom component (3rd code snippet), I have added more details thereThis is my custom event. See the first constant, I copy pasted the event name in custom components.

I am trying to understand event propagation in Flex framework and have a following doubt on it:
Scenario: I have a built-in component DropDownList on change of which I want to create a custom event refreshPreview and want to propagate it to a custom component PictureComponent.
In the custom component's mxml, I have added the Metadata directive as follows to register a refreshPreview event with the compiler
<fx:Metadata>
[Event(name="refreshPreview", type="flash.events.Event")]
</fx:Metadata>
Layout Details: In my main mxml application I have laid out DropDownList and the custom component such that both are siblings (i.e. have a common indirect parent)
e.g.
<s:Group id="contentGroup">
<s:Group id="formGroup">
<s:Form x="11"
[Code]....
I am seeing that the refreshPreview event is not getting propagated to the custom component.
I doubt this is because the built-in component is a sibling of the target (where the event got generated) and not a parent. how to make refreshPreview event propagate to custom component?

printableInvoice.addEventListener(batchGenerated, printableInvoice_batchGeneratedHandler);Results in this error: 1120: Access of undefined property batchGenerated. I have tried it as FlexEvent.batchGenerated and FlashEvent.batchGenerated.
The MetaData and function that dispatches the even in the component printableInvoice is all right. It I instantiate printableInvoice as an mxml component instead of via action-script it well let put a tag into the mxml line: batchGenerated="someFunction()

I am trying to determine what events I need to wait for in a test in order to ensure that my custom component has updated all of its properties. I was using VALUE_COMMIT, but for some reason that isn't working out for me. I want some easy mechanism for tracing every event dispatched from a component. Is this possible?

I'm using a Static EventDispatcher for all event handling in my application, and one of the issues with it is that the Static EventDispatcher becomes the target and currentTarget of the custom Event. Usually, I just pass the event to the custom event which it will carry as its own property. I usually call it "scope". So, instead of using "evt.target" or "evt.currentTarget" in the event handler, I use "evt.scope.target" or "evt.scope.currentTarget" instead. This works fine.
The issue is that I want to simplify this with custom events by overriding the target and currentTarget methods so that they return scope.target/scope.currentTarget. At run time, I get an error saying that I cannot convert Event to whatever I named the custom event. So, I tried not extending Event, and that produced an error stating that the class function is expecting exactly 0 parameters. I just want to make it so that people using Static EventDispatcher handling events as they normally would.
So, the question is there a way to override target and currentTarget while extending the Event class, or is there a way to create a custom event without extending Event?

I am having issues with a global array. I have an actionscript file called MyGlobal.as at the same level as my main FLA:

I am able to trace that first element while trace is called within the function... but if I try to trace that first element outside of the function it is "undefined". Do I need to return the array at the end of the function? I tried that but I cant seem to get it working correctly.

I've been playing with prototype a bit and I've noticed that either it isn't as static as it should be or that some functions are protected from altering, or that in some cases the prototype actually extends a function. For example, I was trying to modifiy the global trace function to output the current time of a trace action, something like this :
Code:trace("lulu"); // output 12:48:17.286 lulu I DID achieve something close to it, but it seems that I haven't actually modified the global trace function, but rather it's "_root" counterpart,

I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?

why does the last trace not trace "32" like the second trace? I want to insert the variable "imgGal" onto the end of the mc "itemClip", how can I do this?
