ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic Args To Event Listener

Jun 25, 2009

I'm new to ActionScript and am having trouble hooking up callbacks to take extra, dynamic args.The basics are: I have a method that takes a couple of parameters, uses a RemoteObject to send an operation to get a third value, and I want to pass all three (the operation result and the original two) to another callback.[code]This does allow passing extra args, but it is adding a new listener each time createMeeting is run. So I would need to remove the old listener, but I don't have a handle on the old callback since it was dynamically created/anonymous (I'm not sure of the correct AS terms).I guess I could create a custom event dispatcher that kept track of the previous listener. But maybe removing and adding new listeners each time is the wrong solution to begin with. How would you set up a listener like this when the extra parameters you want to pass to the callback will be changing?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Run Event Listener Through Dynamic Object Call?

Apr 27, 2009

I have a movie clip being dynamically added to the stage via an AS3 linkage call:

gameOver_mc = new GameOver();
stage.addChild(gameOver_mc);

The movie loads as required.But when the movie has been added I want the user to be able to press spacebar and a function to run.So in the GameOver.as class I wrote the following:

Code:

package
{
import flash.ui.Keyboard;

[code]...

But as soon as the movie clip tries to load I get the error message: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I would have thought this would work fine. When I trace the statement in the Constructor function is works. Its only when I try to add an event listener that I get the problems. So am I not allowed to add event listeners from a dynamically loaded class?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Listener Only On MovieClip?

Aug 3, 2010

I've an array of movieclips created via code that have some textfields. Then i have added some listeners to the movieclips.

Here the code:

Code:
arrNot[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, titoloOver);
private function titoloOver(e:MouseEvent){
var nome:String = e.target.name;
TweenMax.to(curs,1 ,{y:contMain.getChildByName(nome).y + 23});
}

This code moves a cursor calculating the y coordinate depending the moviclip that is mouse overed. Now the movieclips have some textfields so when i mouseover the movieclips all works ok but when i mouseover the textfield i receive a #1009 error.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Reference A Movieclip Without An Event Listener?

Dec 15, 2009

I have a project with 15 dynamically created MovieClips on. The clips are images loaded from XML.As each one is loaded I assign an id to it. screen.id = [i];Now normally I would add an event listener to trigger each of these to "Do Something" but I want it to be an automatic process. So I have set up a function to create a random number between 0 and 14 with the idea that I can use the number to help reference the MovieClip with the id of the randomly generated number...But I don't know how to go about this Something like...

Code:

Select allprivate function randomNumber(low:Number, high:Number):Number
{
var low:Number = low;

Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Event Listener For When A Movieclip Is Stopped

Oct 24, 2011

I'm thinking of making a movieclip which stops itself at certain points (just with stop(); at certain keyframes in the movieclip timeline), then the user is prompted to continue the clip.

What is the best why to listen for the stopping of the movieclip? I think I want an event listener that detects when the movieclip is stopped, but I don't know if there is one.

I need to remove the Stage Event Listener (stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, thumbUp)) when I switch menu items. How can I call the removeEventListener for the stage from outside the movieclip?

The parent movieclip is called about_mc and when you click away to another page it tweens out. I really just want to about_mc.stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, thumbUp).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Listener For When A Movieclip Is Finished Playing?

Jan 31, 2010

I have a slideshow that loads an image via XML, then adds said image to a placeholder inside a movie clip, and then proceeds to play a little sliding animation via the movie clip. What I need to do is figure out how to get an event that the movie clip is finished and sitting back on frame 1 so that I can run a "nextImage" function that loads the next image from the XML. I'm pretty new to actionscript, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to properly handle what should be a simple event. If I put a simple listener at the end of the movieclip, it doesn't talk to the main script at all?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling Down A Movieclip On MOUSE_DOWN Calls A Registered ROLL_OUT Event Listener?

Apr 12, 2010

I'd like to simply scale down a movieclip (that I'm treating as a button) when the user presses their mouse button.  When users release the mouse button, I want my button to scale back to it's normal (.scaleX = .scaleY = 1) size.  My button also has listereners for a ROLL_OUT event to turn off (.alpha = 0) a highlight movieclip that rests atop movieclips showing the different states the button can be in.
 
When I roll over the button, the higlight comes, but there is an annoying flicker problem.  For some odd reason, when I press the mouse button the ROLL_OUT event handler function is called, yet I didn't scale the movie down enough for the cursor to be off of the actual button itself.  I do not want that flicker.  I'm not sure why ROLL_OUT is being called even though the event is clearly a mouse down, and within the mouse down event handler I am scaling the button movie clip, but not enough to remove out from under the cursor.  In other words, if I click the button at its registration point, a flicker appears.
 
Here's my code. 

//this add all the appropriate listeners to the button        private function addMouseListeners()        {            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOver);            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown);            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOut);            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUp);        }    

[code]....
 
why my rollOut function is being called when the mouse button is pressed, and called once more when the mouse button is released.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Proper Listener On Tween Event Inside Mouse Event

Feb 23, 2011

My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Basic Event Listener Mouse Event ROLL OVER

This is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.

I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:

Actionscript 3 :: Use The Same Event-listener Callback For Multiple Event Types?

Nov 18, 2011

This might be more of a subjective question, but is it generally best practice to have one dedicated method per event-types that you add an event-listener?

Such as:

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
//Somewhere else in the code...

[Code].....

And if you had a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and other relevant MouseEvents event-listeners to watch for, you could even set a switch statement to handle all the various MouseEvent types.
