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:
stop();
//---Bio Button Text---\
go.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLCIK, bioplay);

Just as a test, here's the entirety of my code:

I never ADDED the corresponding event listener. Why doesn't Flash complain that I'm trying to remove something I never added?
I'll present my problem in a few steps:
- I have a constructor method which is trigerred automatically once the program starts
- The method's argument determines whether or not an enter frame event is to be added(move:Boolean = true)
- If true, add the event listener
- there are getters and setters created to access the variables from another class
The problem is that the event listener is run only once - at the initial phase, so it checks the move's value just once (true - add, false - don't add), so it can be turned on and off only in this class. I want to allow a user to change its value from an external class, which is impossible even with getters and setters, because it adds the listener before the user even gets a chance to change it. I want the listener to be added only if the user wants it to. I know it looks complicated,
My problem is basically as follows. There is an instance of a class extending EventDispatcher. Everything goes well when I add event listener to the object like this:
[Code]...
Now someFunction is not called even though the line containing dispatchEvent('eventName') is being executed just like before (and there is an external reference to myObject as well). The application I'm developing is quite complex so, unfortunately, I can't post the exact code.
What is the correct event listener to detect a child added to the stage? I tried:
[Code]...
which doesn't work. I also tried ADDED_TO_STAGE but that doesn't fire it either. Do you know the correct way to detect when the child is added? Perhaps I should be attaching the listener to the parent instead?
this is the error I am having:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.at flash.events::EventDispatcher/removeEventListener()

I'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 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 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.

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 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)

I'm getting this error on a pretty simple presentation, AS3, CS5.TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at paperstartover_fla::MainTimeline/playout()Situation:I have a hidden button which goes to and plays "out" on MOUSE_OUT(the function to do this is called playout)that works fineBUT...I then added a CLICK event listener to the hidden button, function being gotoAndPlay ("start")When the button is clicked, the error occurs. The timeline goes to the right frame but stops dead.I was thinking this could be because Flash thinks it should be doing the playout animation at the same time?
btninvis1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,p layover)
function playover (event:MouseEvent):void{
btnpaper1.gotoAndPlay("over");}

Im getting an error whilst trying to add an event listener to a class of a Button on my stage.

I have 2 Flash files: one is a flash game in as3 and second a flash movie (as2). I want to add one scene to my as3 file and use my second flash file(as2).I have deleted all script from buttons and frames so I have now just a flash movie no scripting inside. I copied all frames and layers (in as2) - right click - copy frames. I have created second scene in my as3 file and I have pasted there frames and layers from as2 file. Now when I publish movie I have errors:

I'm having trouble with buttons. I've tried two sets of code and get the same result: an "1120: Access of undefined property enter_btn" error. Here are the two sets of code I am using:

gotoAndPlay(71);
}

I've set the instance name for the button but keep getting the error. Do I need to set up a variable first?
I have this clock code and would like to know what needs to be added or changed for it to reference the time off the server and not the local computer time (and preferably reference the server just once and not repeatedly). I already have a file on the server "time.php" that is providing the milliseconds. I know it should be fairly simple, but I just can't wrap my head around it.

View 2 RepliesI m wondering for 2 days whats this error means, previouly my file was running perfect, one day i open and do some changes than compile it shows these errors in output panel :
1. variable button is not defined.
2. variable component shim is not defined.
3. variable loaderprov3 is not defined.
i cant find how to fix these,as the behavior of flash is ambigious now. one time i run the file it runs perfectly, second i just code simple if else statement and than run the file, it leads to the above mentioned errors i m totally stuck and cant find any ways to get rid of these junks, Also compiler error window says, "unknown error optimizing byte code".
