ActionScript 3.0 :: DispatchEvent Between Classes Not Working
Sep 3, 2010
I'm working in this website so to avoid getting an error for adding event listeners to the buttons when they are not on stage i dispatch and event in the last frame of the animation, event that is going to be listened by the document class. Until there everything works great but when I try to dispatch an event from the document class to the sound class, it doesn't work.
FLA file
stop();
dispatchEvent(new Event(BUTTONS_DOWN));

I've recently come to a roadblock in my code for a non-visual class I created; a sound class if you want to know. At first I coded with it extending Sprite (I can't remember why I started it out that way, but that's the way it was). When I came back to this code, I thought that extending sprite doesn't make any sense if it's an audio class and non-visual, where is no real reason to add something to the stage if you can't see it. So I removed "extends Sprite" from the class and errors started popping up around "dispatchEvent" coded areas. I then tried putting back the extention with "extends Object", hoping that would solve the problem; got the same thing. I've searched with google on why I can't use dispatchEvent on objects or classes not extending anything, but it only came up with how to use dispatchEvent with the usual MovieClip or Sprite tutorial.

I have movie A which loads in movie B.I then add movie C to movie B
PHP Code:
//from my movie B when a button is clicked I say
this.dispatchEvent(new Event("Home_Off"));
//in movie C I have
[code]....
I know the function with the dispatch is triggered, other things in that function happen.why would my hideHome function not get run?

As I'm working on a simple XML photo gallery, I am having a bit of trouble making my Slide class successfully dispatch an MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event to the Main class.
Main.as
Code:
// add a new slide
var slide:Slide = new Slide(_slideHolder, "slide_" + no, _xml.img[no], x, no);
slide.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
[Code]....
When I hover over my sprites, the functions inside Slide.as gets triggered - but they don't pass the event to Main.as as I would have expected.
Strange thing is that the Event.COMPLETE gets triggered inside Main.as.

I want to create a class named Principal which will be imported to the stage. This class Principal imports another class named Menu. And the application should do the same for any other 'division' of the website (content, footer etc).If i use the addChild in the Principal class, it works well. If i do the same in Menu, doesnt work. I cant 'return the box' to the Principal class and append the child there, but this will crack all the stuff.Now, the code:

For some reason I can't get this nested set of functions to work, it executes the first tween and the tween invoked after motion of the first is finished but it doesn't ever get to the third!
ActionScript Code:
var t1:Tween=new Tween(p1,"rotationY",Strong.easeOut,90,0,50,false);
var t1x:Tween=new Tween(p1,"x",Strong.easeOut,-900,0,50,false);
t1.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,onMotionFinished);

I'm working on a lot of different flash applications Most of those applications are visual and involves the main stage.I started oop a while ago and i got to a point that %99.9 percent of my code is extracted to different classes.There is one thing that repeat on a regular basis on all of my apps, passing the Stage variable to the different classes....It's working great but it doesnt feel right that i need to pass the main stage as a variable between the different classes,is there a better way to access the stage from external classes ? can i make the main stage a static property and access itwithin all the objects in the application ?

For some reason Flash Builder 4 doesn't autocomplete any more for new projects I create (either pure Actionscript or Flash Pro projects). But for previous projects it still works fine.For instance when I go to create a new actionscript class, when I click browse next to Superclass there are only TWO classes that come up. EventDispatcher & Sprite. Where have the rest of the classes gone?
When I try to type inside the class.. ie var mc:MovieClip... as I'm typing MovieClip nothing comes up any more.. pushing ctrl+space doesn't bring up a list of classes either. Importing classes, no code hinting comes up at all.I haven't changed anything in Flash Builder between now and when my previous projects were created.

I created the code below which works as it should using the main timeline actions in AS3 - now, for my project I need this to work in AS3 using class files (basically I'm creating an app which uses pages as class files. This is intended to go on the 2nd page.for some reason though when I've copied it into my project and instantiated it when the page loads, even though all traces say that the squares should be there - they are not! The best I've had so far is one square in the final position![code]

I've worked wioth sub classes so I know how they work but I always work with everything all in one folder which can get messsy when there are a lot of classes to work through. So i started to make folders inside of my main folder but it's not working. Thought it may be to do with package names but as far as i know, for the whole "classes in separate folders" things that's how they are supposed to be.

I have a movieclip on my stage that I am using as a button toincrement an index number. I have declared a custom event class andI am passing the index to the custom event as a property.I have initialized the clips on the stage to listen for thecustom event and I am dispatching the event from the instance ofthe button being pressedEverything seems to be ok except my clips listening for theevent don't seem to be getting it. Can you not dispatch an eventdirectly from a movieclip instance on the stage? Do you have to doit from a .AS file class?

One single swf, imgdesc.swf is being loaded into the emptymcholder, by the moviecliploader instance.My order isfolioholdermc ---holds--> emptymcholder --holds--> imgdesc.swfWithin folioholdermc, I disabled buttons and lowered opacity, once imgdesc.swf was loaded, using onloadInit()Now in the button inside imgdesc.swf. I called, this.unloadMovie(), which successfully unloads the file, but I am still inside emptymcholder, though I actually want to go back into folioholdermc.tener to check for unloadMovie. But my problem is can I place this within folioholdermc, within the onloadInit() or maybe within the on(press) function which actually calls the loader in the first place?? I need to enable the buttons within folioholdermc, and increase opacity, once the imgdesc.swf is unloaded.
Within the onLoadInit() in folioholdermc I added
_mc.addEventListener("end",endClip);
function endClip() { trace("end"); //plan to insert code to

I am making a class that is used to load levels, and while making the skeleton I thought I'd make some events for things like if there is an error while loading, or for when the loading finishes. So I did that and decided to test the event, via a test function that dispatches the event...but it just wont get picked up.
Here is the main class (a part of it anyway) where I'm adding the event listener.
ActionScript Code:
public function Game() {
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, Start);
this.addEventListener(LoadEvent.LOAD_COMPLETE, Bam);
[Code]....
why the dispatchEvent in the Load class and it's internal dispatcher class, is not getting to the eventListener in the Game class.

I am trying dispatchEvent in a class (aClass extends MovieClip) that is instantiated by another class (mainClass extends movieclip),but I am not able to dispatch the custom event in the mainClass unless the aClass is added to the display list (using stage.addChild()).Is there another way to do such a thing?

Is there any way to auto-import as3 classes (internal/intrinsic Flash Player classes at least) using Emacs ?
Looked for as3-mode and actionscript-mode but nothing working was found. as3-mode can import class if it is opened in buffer (but not *.mxml files)

onLoaderComplete is the image loading complete event and onLoaderProgress is the image loading progress event. Here i have dispatched an event in inLoaderComplete event. I want to send parameters along with the dispatchEvent. How it can be done?

I'm trying to manually dispatch events on a textfield so I can manipulate it indirectly via code (e.g. place cursor at a given set of x/y coordinates). However, my events seem to have no effect.
I've written a test to experiment with this phenomenon:
package sandbox {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code].....
As we can see, the events are being captured and replayed successfully. However, no change occurs in tf2 - the mouse cursor does not appear in tf2 as we would expect. In fact, the cursor remains in tf even after the tf2 events are dispatched.

i'd like to send a dispatchEvent to a loaded swf, put into a movieclip. I found a good topic about it : as3 - dispatchEvent from a parent swf to a child swfi have a main.as
another class : submenu.as, that i import in main.aswhen i click on the "main" menu in "main.as", i would like to send a dispatchEvent to submenu.as (because i'd like the submenu to change one of its item, when i click on the "main menu" in "main.as", so i need to send a dispatchEvent to submenu.as) so i put a dispatchEvent in the method "clickButton" in my main.as : "Event.CHANGE"and in the submenu.as, i'd like to listen to this event.CHANGE, and that's what i wrote below ;-)

I can't use dispatchEvent in my static class, I was wondering if anyone knew how I can achieve similar functionality or if it's possible at all to call dispatchEvent from my static class? I basically want to inform my action script code in my flash file when functionality in my static class is complete.
