I want to run a function when a certain movieclip enter a specific frame. The problem is it run the function repeatedly. I only want it to run once each time the movieclip change from one frame to another is there an event Listener that does it ? (can't put the code on each frame of the movieclip to sloppy and long)
View 0 RepliesI am trying to figure out how to get an enterframe event listener to stop. I created a simple example below, where a line spins around on stage until the user clicks on it. When they click on it, the user should be jumped to frame 2.
Code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateIt);
line_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,goSomewhere);
[code].....
However, when I run that code, I get the following error:
at test_fla::MainTimeline/rotateIt()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Which tells me that the event listener is not being removed. I also tried putting the removeEventListener code on frame 2, which didn't work either.
I am trying to create a simple play, stop, rewind. fforward controller. I have the slideShow and the Control in the same time line. As the enterframe event is nested inside a function it will rewind but then none of the other buttons will work as I am not able to removeEventListener for the enterframe event.

i've not tried to do anything odd with eventListeners up until now. i have a movieclip with multiple frames that i use AS to attach a textfield to it. problem is i have a eventlistener for when the mouse rollsover the movieclip to go to frame 3 of the movieclip.
[Code]...
what's causing the textfield to suddenly take precedence and how do i stop it. when i trace the evt.target - it is my movieclip.
I have a scene with a monster. Monster blinks its eyes. Eyes blinking is a separate MovieClip. Under some conditions, monster opens its mouth. Mouth opening is a separate MovieClip as well. At this moment I have to hide eyes MovieClip. As soon as monster closes its mouth, I must make eyes blinking visible again. My idea is to have some listener that listens to Mouth_opening MovieClip. When Mouth opening's currentFrame changes from 1 to 2, I will hide eyes. When it changes from 2 to 1, I will show it back.
So, the question is: how do I listen to currentFrame changes? Event.ENTER_FRAME is not appropriate: it's being called every render frame, not only when currentFrame changes.
How do I make an event listener that will tell my movieclip to gotoAndPlay a different frame if x is < than 100?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.

I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?
Can an event listener be set up to watch for a specific time? Like at 121 secs fire off?
View 3 RepliesI'm having trouble removing the an event listener as well as the sprite at the same time. I currently get an error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
And if I comment out removeChild, I have no error but, obviously, the sprite remains on the screen. how I can rid myself of that error?
//Bullet extends Sprite Class
bullet:Bullet = new Bullet();
mc.addChild(bullet);

So Im trying to get the current time (play head time) for a video on the stage and am using Netstream. I have a timer with an event listener pinging a function every 1000ms. But it is not smooth and the numbers jump a bit.
Is there a way to attach an event listener to the netstream time itself?
I tried ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.time, monitorTime); but as you probably know that Dog wont hunt.
I am trying to make an animation with three seperate buttons that when clicked on make one set of text disappear and new text appear in its place. My code so far looks like this:

I was wondering if there was a way of tracking a variable change? Perhaps using some sort of event listener for it?
View 2 RepliesI have the following game:
dev.multimedi8.com
I assign the following event listener at the top of frame 1:
ActionScript Code:
crossHair.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, shoot);
But it doesn't trigger on every MOUSE_DOWN. I mean it should at least get called on every mouse press right?
EDIT: Forgot to mention all the germ movieclips are created inside a holding movieclip:
ActionScript Code:
mc.addChild(germ)
I'm attempting to use the ENTER_FRAME event listener in order to change the text value of a field every 60 frames..I have the strings I want rotated out in an array that is being referenced in the if/else statement The movie doesn't even error out, it just doesn't work.
View 8 RepliesI have a gallery controlled by 4 buttons. The images are loaded by XML and have a timeline animation. So they slide in and out.I want to add an event listener to the buttons so they finish playing the movie before loading the new image. Can an event listener listen for a frame number in a MC?[code]
View 1 RepliesI have a movieclip with 3 frames. each frame has a button on it. Using actionscript I jump to a frame then add an event listener to that button.However, it doesn't work since the playhead for that movieclip doesn't actually get moved to a different frame until the frame redraws. So actionscript says the button doesn't exist.(other than not dynamically adding the buttons with code... which will be my next step...)
View 1 RepliesI m using a dynamic text field in my app. I have added one Event.Change Listener on it. When I type into it with the keyboard, the event triggers. But when i set some text in it when user performs some action, like textfieldName.text = "test" then the event does not triggers. In this type of situation where we are not using keyboard, which listener should be added to text field to trigger the change event?
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble getting the Video class to work.. Everything works fine until I try to add an on enter frame event listener to the movie. I basically want to overlay an effect that gets updated every frame but adding the event listener causes the movie to freeze before it loads or on the first frame or just shortly after starting play back.. Check out the source code at [URL]
It freezes even if the enter frame method body is commented out so I don't think it's because of extra overhead..
I think I had this issue before I decided to try and learn mvc, which I'm doing right now. it's not a complex problem. But I can't figure it out. First, should I add swf address to my controller? that's what I think, considering it's between the view and the update. But mainly... I feel like it's just going to loop.. for instance. I add the .setValue method on a click handler. and it changes the url and everything.. grand. but during the change it fires off the change event of course.. now how can I make adjustments to my file based on the change event listener, if it's going to fire every time something in my movie sets the value?? as you can see i'm trying to use simplemvc's classes.. i'm just trying to learn though.

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.
I'm trying to think of an AddEventListener...When a timeline animation is playing, and it reaches a certain frame, in which the event listener would listen for.

View 7 RepliesI 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:

{
var low:Number = low;

for one of my project I need to recive some x,y data from a socket connection. I recuired do some movement for moveclips those has the x,y in its bounds. kind of mouseover event.
what I fegured out is, if I can dispatach a event and add a listenr to all my movieclips the moveclips will know that new data recived and it will check that the number and do appropriate action.
but the problem is I can dispatchEvent but if I add a listener to my movieClips it doesn't work.

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 have ActionScript inside a movie clip running a scrollbar.[code]...
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).
