I have a class linked to a library MovieClip. Several public instance variables in the class point to other DisplayObject's which are children of the class.Is Event.ACTIVATE the correct event to indicate that all ofthe children have been instantiated?

I have asked before but that was a week ago and ive changed alot of code. I am still having the same issue of trying to ignore MOUSE_MOVE while a tween plays and then reactivate MOUSE_MOVE on Finish. I have tried timers aswell to anticipate the finish with no luck as if i move some code a error #1009 happens.
I have alos tried motion_finished, if statements and even values with no luck as the code will just not function unless left as below.[code]...
got MC A and MC B. MC B is directly under MC A. They are both indepedent on the stage, meaning they are not children of a bigger mc container. They both have rollover events, how can I activate the rollover events of MC B??Im aware of mouseChildren and mouseEnabled, but that requires them to be in the same container...
View 3 Replieswhat i mean is, is there a way in AS3,or in programming in general(php, js etc) to make an event fire/ activate "WHEN" something does something, as oppose to an if/else if / else statements ?for example, say i want to make an event fire /activate ONLY when a frame label is hit, and thereafter , do something else etc, essentially making it do things one by one down the line according to WHEN certain objectives are met. is there a "when" type of statement etc that will do this as oppose to if/else if etc??? for example, using the above example, instead of me doing something like this:
Code:
xyz.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME / or INIT , btn);
function btn(e:Event):void{
if ( externalSwf.currentFrameLabel == " label here "){[code]...
i have a little project im working on (smooth transitions of external swfs code) that is partly working but i cant for the life of me, figure out how to implement a structure like what i have directly above.
I have found that events Events.ACTIVATE and Events.DEACTIVATE do not fire in the browser when wmode = transparent or when wmode = opaque. This is found when the swf is published with or without fullscreen mode capability.However, the events do fire:In the standalone player, such as opening the publised swf locally ( not using a browser ) In the browser when wmode = window
My Goal:Is to detect Events.ACTIVATE and Events.DEACTIVATE with a swf that has been published with fullscreen capability, where the wmode = opaque. ( I have found that when in fullscreen and wmode = window, mouse interactivity events, such as clicks, do not fire. Mouse interactivity is something I need, which I get with wmode = transparent or opaque. )
FYI:I have found that when wmode = window, the DEACTIVATE event fires both when entering and leaving fullscreen mode. The event ACTIVATE does not fire when entering fullscreen mode or when returning to the browser from fullscreen ( user presses Escape, etc ). In the event the user switched to a different window, the DEACTIVATE event fires. When the user returns to the browser, the ACTIVATE fires in IE but does not fire in Firefox until the user clicks in the swf
Setup:
Flash CS4
Using the Flash published HTML ( wmode = transparent / opaque )
Firefox 3.6.6 ( Windows XP Pro )
IE 8.0.60 ( Windows XP Pro )
I'm using Flex 4.5.1 with AIR 2.7 (and Flash Builder 4.5.1) to build an app for the Blackberry Playbook.
The app has a large textarea that needs to be resized when the soft keyboard shows up. I am able to hook into the soft keyboard events and do things there.
Now, I want to resize the textarea to fit the remaining part of the screen when the keyboard shows up. I know the current and destination size and want to use a smooth animation to show the textarea resizing. (I can't already set the height and can see the textarea being correctly resized in the keyboard_activating event - but I want to do it through an animation). I've tried using the Animate class, the spark.effects.Move class and none of them seem to work in this case. They seem to run the animation but the screen does not get refreshed!

I embeded a png format picture and set class like Axe:Class;,and set a variable like picisplayObject,and point pic to an object,var
pic=new Axe();
added it to the display list:addChild(pic);
then i added the eventListener, pic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Click,_doSomeThing );
private function _doSomeThing(e:MouseEvent):void{
//process
}
but nothing happens,the complier doesn't report an error or warning something.then i created a wrapper Sprite object and add the pic to the wrapper object,made the wrapper object as the event dispatcher,then every thing works.As far as i know,DisplayObject is added to the stage,but why it doesn't work?
Does removeChild clear the associated event listener related to those childs?
View 1 RepliesWhat is the proper OOP method of communicating between classes that are not on the display list?
For example: The Document class instantiates a new class just for loading in different XML files. This XmlLoading class should let the document class know when the xml has been loaded and parsed so that the interface can be built out.
From my understanding, events can only be listened to and dispatched through the display list, but since there is nothing visual with this xml loader, it doesn't make sense to me to make this class extend a sprite and add it as a child of the document class.
I'm writing a class that really doesn't need to be anything related to a displayObject. It's really more for organizational purposes, than anything else. It's there to handle 1 thing, and 1 thing only. However, I want to have it dispatch an event when it's done so that nothing gets ahead of itself, and I don't end up running functions before the SWF has finished setting itself up.
Simply using the ActionScript Code:
dispatchEvent(new Event("masterFinished",true));
Method isn't working, as the class is. I keep getting the:
PHP Code:
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method dispatchEvent.
However, if I change the class to extend Sprite, and then add it to the Stage as a displayObject, then it works just fine. Is there a way to get the class to dispatch an event without turning it into a displayObject or writing a custom EventDispatcher (I'm assuming the latter would work, but I'm not positive...).
I'm trying to capture the redraw event for some MovieClip / Sprite objects that are in a Scroll area.Ideally, should be able to capture the event when Flash Player itself redraws the objects as can be seen with "Show Redraw Regions" in FP Debug.I've tried to use the Event.RENDER to capture this, but it even fires when the object is not visible / redrawn.
View 1 RepliesI have a SendData class that sends form info to a php script. It is a static class that does not extend anything. I want to be able to dispatch an event if there is an error, or when it gets info back from the server. I have a custom event class that I have been using to dispatch events like this, but I have only used that in displayObject extended classes.The problem is, it seems like something has to be a displayObject based class to dispatch events. I know there must be a way to do this, but I'm having trouble finding it in searches.
View 2 RepliesI would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

I'll first say that I'm a Flash designer but I'm not really technically inclined which may be why I still haven't figured out how to get around the Microsoft IE 'Activate' double click problem with Flash content.I have a completely Flash site that's designed with Flash MX. All of the fixes seem to be for Flash 8 or for Flash content embedded in an HTML page. I've tried posting questions on several of the Flash sites but no one seems to be getting my question.I publish all of my pages in Flash, then upload the resulting HTML and swf files to my site. I do not write any HTML at any time. I only write actionscript. Is there a purely actionscript solution to the activate problem? Or possibly an external .js fix that can be referenced with an #include "something.js" inside the flash source file?
