ActionScript 3.0 :: Error Checking For AddEventListener?

Apr 21, 2009

The problem I've found that I keep having and that is pretty recurring between a few of my classes is that several classes use addEventListeners for complete events on loaders, tweens, etc. The question I have is, how do I catch those events in the event that the instantiated class object is removed from the swf file? Because the eventListener keeps listening, for some reason(I assume the object is removed from the stage but garbage collector doesn't get it right away).

My current, most prominent example is this:I have a photo album that utilizes php to import filepaths on the server. There are basically 2 stages: one screen where all the albums are displayed, and another screen where all the images for a given selected album are displayed.

The problem is that when you click one of the albums, it loads all the images from that album and THEN transitions to the viewing page. This is good because it doesn't load all the images from all the albums.
The problem is, it's possible for the user to click one album, and really quickly, before the "album" page fades out, click another album.

If I've managed to not twist your brain inside out with this poor explanation, you may see that the loader object for the previously clicked "album" button will still be loading the one of the previous images. So, when the complete event for the loader is fired, I get this:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.

Which I assume, obviously, is 2 separate error events. I'm already using error catching that's working for another purpose, but I just can't catch these ones no matter where I put my catch statements. Any help?
Here's the code:

Code:
function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
//////some stuff here
////////preps album images for display

[code]....

The first type error gets caught. It loops back through and works fine when you only click one button at a time, but otherwise it freaks out. I just don't know where to put the catch statement so that it just shuts up...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Box Creation - Correct Way For Checking Error?

Aug 12, 2009

I'm just wondering if this is the "right" way to do the error catching. I have a program that creates a random number of squares (up to 25), but no more, and usually less (like I said, random number). Due to the fact that there's a random number of them, I create an array ahead of time. Only some of the squares in the array get used, and the others sit there and aren't added to the stage. Anyways, at the end of the box creation, the program goes back through and deletes all of the boxes in a loop:

Code:
for(var i:uint = 0; i < boxArray.length; i++){
try{
removeChild(boxArray[i]);
}catch(e:Error){}}

It seems to work okay, but I just want to know if this is the correct way to check for errors. If I put a trace in the catch block, it catches the squares that aren't in the display list, obviously, because they aren't there to remove.

I get errors, but it takes forever to find out where they are taking place unless I put a "trace(start function X" "trace(end function X" everywhere. just having a random error somewhere in all the files? It tells me which function it hit the error, but in visual studio you could trace it back, so I can see where in the program it's being called....

Professional :: Error Type Checking With "Check Syntax" Button

Mar 5, 2011

at some point in the past, i believe soon after i got Flash CS5 and installed it, i started receiving the following error when clicking the "Check Syntax" button:
 
Warning: 5004: The file '/Applications/Adobe Flash CS5/Common/Configuration/ActionScript 3.0/FP9/playerglobal.swc', which is required for typechecking ActionScript 3.0, could not be found. You may need to reinstall Flash.
 
what's particularly annoying is that playerglobal.swc file is present in that FP9 directory.  do i need to choose some arbitrary setting somewhere so Flash CS5 knows it's not 2008 and that i'm not deploying on Flash Player 9?

AddEventListener Order Of Use?

Aug 24, 2009

I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.

Can someone please help. I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.
