Jan 28, 2009

I have two buttons each in its own sprite now I want to listen for mouse overmout and click event on both. In a way that if you roll over button1 its color changes but at the same time button2 color changes as well.

What I want now is that when user either scrolls over UK map the map button color changes but at the same time the color for UL text button changes as well. same goes for click and out events for the two.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dispatching An Event From One Class To The Other

Sep 24, 2008

I have two document classes. The main document class creates a empty movieClip and adds it to the stage in which the second document classes published swf is loaded into. The second document class has a button component on the stage in which once clicked just traces 'hello' to the output window.

What I want to do is upon clicking this button a Event is dispatched from the second document class, to the main document class. Now, I've Googled everything in this known world and have tried to implement examples to no avail. I'm really at a loss right now yet I stubbornly intend to keep banging my head against the problem. Below I have pasted both document classes minus the examples I've tried to implement thus far.

ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent Is Not Dispatching Event?

Feb 16, 2011

I´m making a game.This game has 4 frames.It has a preloader.swf and game.swf.The preloader.swf loads the game.swf.The game.swf has 4 frames.In the first frame is given to the user the options to play the game (clicking a button "playGame" on "click" event) and to set the sounds settings (clicking a button "options" on "click" event).So far so good.

When the user clicks "playGame" I send the user to frame 2, where it has the option to select a game level using the arrow keys. So within the playGameListener I registered two keyboard events one for KEY_UP and another for KEY_DOWN. So, to have sure that it´s working, I added a trace for each keyboard event listener. But I´m not getting any message in the output window while pressing
left arrow or right arrow or any arrow.

So I learned that KeyboardEvent only dispatches an event if the flash player has focus.Well I think the flash player has never losed focus in this process.I´ve registered two events for Event.ACTIVATE and Event.DEACTIVATE and inside its listeners I added a trace with a message. Flash outputs me a message if I minimize the flash player window or if I maximize the flash player,but not while the game.swf´s frame transition.The listeners for the KeyboardEvent works only when I press at the flash player, then I receive the messages from the KeyboardEvent listeners.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Dispatching And Listening?

Jun 23, 2010

I have a parent swf and eight child swfs. The child swfs are loaded into an array at runtime on the parent swf using a Loader. I have buttons and functions on and in the parent swf to change out the child swfs. This all works just fine but here is my issue. On each of the child swfs I have buttons that need to call the functions in the main swf to change out the child swfs. The program is an interactive virtual tour and I want to be able to click on a door and have the next room's swf displayed in the parent swf. I'm trying to do this by dispatching an event from the child swf

ActionScript Code:
mainPanorama.bedDoor.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dispatchBedroom);
function dispatchBedroom(e:Event):void {
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadBedrooms"))
}

that needs to be heard by the parent swf and the appropriate function called.

ActionScript Code:
objectsArray.addEventListener("loadBedrooms", loadBedroom);
function loadBedroom(e:Event):void {
tourNum = 5;
unloadData(tourNum);
}

So far this specific code keeps telling me that addEventListener is not a function. I've tried quite a few variants of stage, this, and parent combinations in place of objectsArray but unfortunately something in the parent swf is not hearing the event dispatch.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Dispatching From External SWF?

Jun 9, 2010

I'm working on a project and had a question related to another thread I recently posted earlier this week regarding an area I was a little stuck on..While I did manage to resolve most of my issue, there's still a piece of the puzzle that's missing. I basically have one main container swf that loads several external swfs into a MC and cycles through an array of external files. I have navigation buttons so the user can click next to proceed through all of the external content files. My goal here, is to not have the "next button" become active until after the external files are done playing, so they can't skip ahead.

I currently have this working by having the external swf dispatch an event (from its final keyframe) to the main swf telling the main swf it's done playing, and then activates the next button on completion. This works great; however, I can't seem to get it to dispatch this event on any of the sequential swfs -- it only does this for the first swf initially loaded. Is there a way to "reset" the event to detect the end of the other swfs and continue in this fashion? Or another possible solution so I can apply this to each external swf?Here is the code I have in the main container swf:

Code:
//Array of external swfs
var contentArray:Array = new Array("content1.swf", "content2.swf", "content3.swf");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Dispatching In Loaders?

Feb 7, 2011

What I am trying to do is build some kind of Loader-SWF that loads several animations (swf-files) and then plays them back one after the other.

What I am struggling with at the moment is how to find out when the first animation has finished and then switch to the second one. Since the Loader-Object I use to load the swf doesn't seem to dispatch a suitable event I thought I'd just do the following on the last frame of the animations I am loading:

Code:
stage.dispatchEvent(new Event('nextClip'));
and then have this in my "Loader":

Code:
stage.addEventListener('nextClip',loadNextClip);

This works fine when I just have my first animation clip dispatch the Custom Event, but as soon as I add the code to all the other animations it will throw an 1009 error (referring to the last frame of the newly added animation) as there somehow seems to be some confusion regarding what "stage" is referring to now.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Communicating Between Classes - Dispatching Event?

May 30, 2010

I'm just starting to build my first proper OOP piece.I have on stage two manually placed MCs.One is viewer_mc:ViewerClass and one is menu_mc:MenuClass.They each have their own class and there is a document class...

PHP Code:

package
{
import flash.display.*;[code]....

So I can call the public method of either class from the other class.However, I am now trying to understand custom events and dispatching them with parameters.which uses a custom event class.This works fine when the dispatchevent and listener are both in the viewer class, but when the dispatchevent is in the viewer class, and the listener is in the menu class I can't get it to work.I suppose for my purposes I don't really need to use the custom event class, I can just call the respective classes' public functions but I just wanted to try and understand how it works.Here's the pared down version of menu class...

PHP Code:
package classes {
import flash.display.*;

Actionscript 3 :: Flex Custom Event Dispatching

Oct 10, 2010

I got a question about event dispatching in flex.my goal is to get a custom event loaded up with some data and than bubble up to the eventlistener. my main application has and AMF service request inside which calls an service class. that class is supposed to dispatch an event when the AMF service request returns a result or fault and the main application is listening for that event.so inside my mainapp i add and listener like this:[code]
However, this event never reaches the main application. Looking closely to it with the debugger, i found out that when the event is dispatched the listeners property of it is set to null.

May 17, 2008

Everything is working fine it is loading the image but in the initListener function i am dispacthing a complete event to let the other class Content (which passes the image name to this class ) that the image is loaded and you can access it now.

BUt the problem is the event is never dispatched or may be it is but I am not catching it properly here is code for my ImageLoader class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dispatching A Simple Event From ClassB To ClassA

May 15, 2009

I have read at multiple places tutorials/explanations on the EventDispatcher use in AS3 and that confuses me a lot. how I should do to just send a simple message from a ClassB to a Class A. In the exemple below that I made, I have classA that calls classB to send a message that ClassA then gets. Of course, I simplified to the minimum the 2 classes to allow focusing on the problem. Currently, the exemple does NOT work, i.e. the line "trace ("message was received!");" is not executed. I saw in several exemples on the web that some put the addEventListener on the EventDispatcher object. I do not understand the logic behind this, I would put the addEventListener on the objects that will receive the message.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dispatching A Custom Event From Parent Swf To Child Swf

May 8, 2010

I'm building an all flash site, where one .swf acts as the parent, and other external child .swf's are loaded in using .xml. The "Child.swf's" are a mixture of timeline animations, and coded swf's, and the problem I'm having is that they immediately start playing as soon as they are loaded. I've not been able to find any straightforward "child.start() or child.stop()" solutions, so I assume it's more involved than that.

I thought it might be a good idea if I could dispatch events from the parent swf that will set them going. I'm using the sharedEvents method to communicate in the reverse direction (child to parent), but I don't believe it can be used from parent to child (Please correct me if I'm wrong!) I know I could go to each child and put "stop();" in the first frame, but how do I start it again? I would also prefer it if not all the child .swf's started immediately, but to wait until others have completed their routines. Again the way I see it is to dispatch an event from the parent .swf as soon as I'm ready to set them going.
