ActionScript 3.0 :: Documentation On Event Propogation And Default Behavior?
May 9, 2010
Are there any good tutorials out there that go over the AS event model in detail.I am trying to figure out things such as what are the 'default behaviors' attached to different events.Supposedly the the default behavior for a text event is to type in a TextField (makes sense). Also that behavior is supposedly canelable.However I can not find listed in the AS documentation.Maybe I am just not looking in the correct place.
One thing I really liked about java was the documentation.Everything about the class structure was laid out very elegantly and documented.I could tell exactly what events a class listened to or broadcast a paticular event, and how they responded.Also I i could tell which section of the code was responsible for drawing / redrawing graphics.But maybe I have not spent enough time with AS.

I've been working on a framework in AS3 that I want to release, but first I obviously need to prepare some documentation for it.I've noticed that quite a few sites have the exact same layout, functionality etc as Adobe Livedocs, which has let me to believe that there's something open source out there for creating online documentation.
Ideally the system would be specifically suited for documentation in ActionScript 3. I don't have a requirement in terms of the documentation being automatically generated either - if there's something out there that looks/works nice I'm happy to manually create the documentation (provided it comes with tools for easily adding classes, arguments, etc).

I have two datagrids and I want to override the behavior of the tab-key event, so that it goes to the next datagrid, when the cursor reaches the end of the first datagrid columns.

changing the behavior of Key_down event. in every tutorial if for example you keep left arrow pressed you object will move to the left for i.e 5pix all the time,constant speed. can you change the key_down so it will only move once no matter how long the key is pressed, after you release it and press again it will only move one time again and so on

make the nearest button to the clicked text input default. For this purpose, I wrote the below code.
why is my buttonSwitcher function following behind the MouseEvent.CLICK?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="addListeners()">
<mx:Script>

Which is the default mouse event I can declare in a method signature ?
for example:
ActionScript Code:
function removeVideo(e:MouseEvent=MouseEvent.CLICK):void {
gives me this error:
ActionScript Code:
VerifyError: Error #1102: Illegal default value for type MouseEvent.
[code]....
I want to call the method from code and not from listener.

Textfields currently do not dispatch paste events. When the user is using keyboard shortcuts to paste, there's a way to workaround that shortcoming by listening to various keyboard events in the textfield. Is there a way to detect the paste event when it is originated from a click on the ContextMenu?

I have narrowed this error down to the following code, but i cant see the problem...
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ENTER_FRAME not found on flash.events.Event and there is no default value.
at sample_fla::MainTimeline/frameEventHandler()
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,frameEventHandler)
function frameEventHandler(Event){
var collisions:Array = collisionList.checkCollisions();

I am trying to put a Flash ActiveX control into a Windows Form but I am running into a problem: a lack of documentation. The best I have found is a site called "F-IN-BOX" that has some documentation but much of the API is still a black box. For example, some property will take an integer or a string and provide no clue about what it wants. Another exanple is the FlashVersion() function that inexplicably returns 655361 on version 10.
Incidentally I'm having the same problem with Apple's Quicktime OCX. I've searched both sites and Google and I'm starting to wonder if either of these companies provide documentation for any of their products. Does anybody know where I can find documentation for either of them, even if it's the unofficial variety?

I know when I used to program java that their was a way to produce documentation. You had to comment a certain way and then do a certain procedure.
How do you make the documentation in AS3, Flash?

It's been a while since I've done any AS3 dev. but now I'm working with CS5. I remember back in the good ol' days of CS3, You opened it up and there was a whole list of classes and it allowed you to drill down into each and see great examples and full documentation. Now, whenever I click on help it brings up this awkward and overly complex AIR interface. I don't like this! Is there anything like the old interface?

What is your approach to writing documentation explaining the options and use of XML files for a project ?Do you write commented instructions directly in the XML file ?Do you create a different text file in which you write instructions ?Do you explain the use of blocks of XML or do you detail each element and it's function ?I am looking for some guidelines on how to write the documentation for large XML files that control the settings and content of projects.

[code]1. Rewrite the class and put it in a package statement and save it as Example.as
2. Create an Fla file and place in it an import statement and the code where the instance is created.If the code can run as is, how do you do that by merely pasting all the code into a FLA file.

I am trying to embed an f4v file into Flash CS5, however the program won't accept the file I've tried renaming the extension and removing the audio stream. The only thing that seems to work is if its a TRUE flv file using VP6 and with a .flv extension.The documentation here regarding embedding flv/f4v mentions the ability to embed either file formats:I have found no positive results on google and there doesn't seem to be a Flash Jira for bug tracking.

Over the past three weeks, I have lost at least 120 man hours because of some lesser known functionality in ActionScript 3. One of the problems was that, with Internet Explorer, if there are too many messages sent through LocalConnections, it will slow the messages sent through, but in the standalone player and in Firefox, this threshold is significantly higher. Another was that the static values of a class are instantiated even if the member itself is not being used:[code]Since FooClass had a static reference to a Singleton, that Singleton was instantiated so when I loaded a Module which used that Singleton, it would bind to values in an unpredictable way.Additional cases where things behave in an unexpected way:
So here's the question (and I'm sorry for omitting this in the original post), is there any consolidated documentation for this type of behavior anywhere? Is there any (even non-Adobe) documentation on these issues (websites, forums, books, ANYTHING)? I know that these things are definitely easy enough TO document, but has anyone done so?

how does one enable the actionscript documentation to appear properly in Eclipse? For example, if you hover over addChild, the ASDoc view brings up the class hierarchy with [code] but does not give any of the details, descriptive text, parameters, etc. If I write my own documentation using the /** */ format, it does appear in there.

I have been working with Flixel in FlashDevelop for quite some time, and I recently updated my Flixel library to the latest version. Some things have changed names or have been moved or had their inputs changed. For some reason, FlashDevelop is still showing me the documentation from the old version of Flixel as I type things in, so I keep trying to use variable and functions etc that no longer exist.

I am trying the basic XML parsing code from the adobe documentation.. I tried it with several RSS feeds I plan to use, many of large websites.. one worked, the others returned status -10, status: -10 (An end-tag was encountered without a matching start-tag.) the thing is, these are big sites, there is no way all of their feeds are malformed... plus, I checked briefly the XML structure, and checked it with an XML syntax checker (Notepad++) and it came out correct.. so why is flash treating these as malformed ? how can I solve it ? [URL] this doesn't work, and other don't as well from other sites, some other links do work.
I made some progress, I found that loading this rss url, via a browser gets me the right content, but when I try it in Orbit download manager, I only get six bytes! which are </rss> maybe this is what flash sees as well ? what could be the reason for me getting only partial content ?

I am trying to host a flash object inside an CAxWindow, I have managed to insert a shockwaveflash (SWF) and its working fine. I am trying to find all available API's that are available in the flash ocx. I am unable to find any documentation for the functions in the IShockwaveFlash interface.I know that Adobe doesn't have a documentation for using flash in VC++ but I was wondering if anyone can point me to a place where I can find an UNOFFICIAL documentation for flash.ocx or code samples as the only API that I could find and I'm currently using is "PutMovie".
