ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Handler To Remove A Child?
Mar 4, 2011I have two classes in my project - a main class and a fancyText class. In main I create a new instance of fancyText and add it to the stage. Inside fancyText there is a timer that runs and when x time is up the fancyText fades out.
I'd like to know the best way to remove the child from main when the alpha of fancyText hits zero. Should i go down the route of adding a listener to fancyText in main, and dispatching a custom event from within the fancyText class?
I guess i could just check the child's alpha value in main and remove it when the alpha it's zero. But fancyText only gets added in a certain scenario - so i can't check it all the time - which would mean doing something like this:
Code:
...
addChild(fancyText)
checkFancyText = true (assuming a boolean declared earlier)
...
elsewhere in main -
[Code].....
Seems like there are a number of ways to do it - I don't suppose it's possible to remove a child from main from within fancyText class? or is that space cadet talk?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Problem Setting Event Handler For Button?
Nov 24, 2009I seem to be having a recurring problem attaching events to a button i have created within 2 other movieclips.I get the following error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.So it looks like it can't find the button, in order to attach the event listener. The question is why? I am attaching a similar event to a button on the main timeline and that works fine. So it looks like a scope issue, but I am referring to it properly.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Mouse Event Handler Without The Event
Jul 13, 2009I am writing a program that needs to go to a random frame after clicking a button. However, the program also needs to start on a random frame. When I call the function at the start of the program it gives me an 1120: Access of undefined property event error. The function is originally written as followed:
function randomMatchedTrial(event:MouseEvent) {
... lots of code that probably doesnt matter, but let me know if it does...
}
the program starts by calling the function as followed:
randomMatchedTrial(event)

Javascript :: How Does Set Event Handler Scope
Aug 7, 2011We (AS3 coders) all know that one of the great things about the AS3 event model is that handlers are scoped to their containing objects. I'm writing an EventDispatcher for JavaScript, and trying to achieve the same effect.My question could be answered in a couple different ways:A: How does ActionScript 3 set scope within an event handler to the handler's container object, rather than to the event handler's caller (the IEventDispatcher on whom dispatchEvent() was invoked)?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Event Handler Not Working?
Jul 17, 2009I'm using a progress bar component in a movie clip and this progress bar works loading an external movie clip. However, once the external clip is loaded, it seems the "complete" event is not registering with the object listener. This is what I have:
ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("FOB", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
var progressBarListener:Object = new Object();[code].......
The code a little more complicated than this in that there is an array that stores some information and a setInterval command that calls the loadContent function loading each external movie clip. I can past the entire code if necessary.Also the progress bar component is set up as thus: in the main movie (root) there is a movie clip called progressBar. Within progressBar the component resides with a variant name of PB.For some reason, when the external clip is finished loaded, the progressBarListener doesn't seem to be called.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Event Handler From Outside Flash?
Aug 8, 2009I'm trying to find a way that I can control how a flash movie handles the click event from the HTML page outside the movie.
I run a website where we have advertising space for Flash Ads provided by our customers which, when clicked, open their own website in a new browser window (i.e. target='_blank') - however this causes us a few issues:
1.) We want to track the success of their ads, so we give them a custom URL that their ad should link to instead of linking directly to their site. This URL logs the click before redirecting the browser to the customer's website.
2.) Often the flash files we get use GetUrl() which seams to trigger the popup blockers in IE 7 & 8.
These two points mean we have to provide them with the custom URL for them to include in their flash ad, and/or tell them how to set up the movie to handle the clicks in a way that doesn't trigger the IE popup blocker, and this doesn't make it as seamless as it should be to place an ad on our site.
So, what I'm trying to do is find a way that I can reference the Flash movie object with JavaScript (or similar), and set the click event to open up a specified URL - so if the customer's flash movie doesn't have the right URL set in it, or is triggering IE's popup blocker it doesn't matter because when we display it, we can modify the event handler to use the correct URL and to open up their website without tripping any popup blockers.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Return Value From Within Event Handler?
Nov 2, 2009I'm editing an xml gallery.you can see how it works now here (thumbnails are different than images, cause it's just for the sake of testing now)[code]...
oki. this all works via for each loop which creates thumbnails dynamically. the event handler for the click on the thumbnail is inside the - also dynamically created via this for each loop - button over each thumbnail. more or less like this[code]...
and now: i'd like to add "next" and "back" buttons,so that the user doesn't always have to click the closing cross and go back to the thumbnails, but that he can also -once he selected an image - simply loop through the gallery image by image.
oki. so first i tried to get the name of the button clicked previously and store it in a variable, a thus this would tell which image should be loaded via loader (say, name instance56 means Image00002 was loaded, so if now user clicks next, Image00003 should follow) . but i'm simplytoo simple to get the variable out of the event handler and for each loop scope. i also tried to do it inside the event handler,but then it gets terrbily messy, and i can never force loader to load the right image.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Event Handler Function?
Jan 10, 2010Is there a way to get the handler(s) function(s) of an event listener?
I'm trying to find a way to remove them without knowing what they are.
For example:
ActionScript Code:
if (mc.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)){
// this object has a MouseEvent.CLICK listener
mc.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, null );
}
Instead of null, I was hoping to find some function that retrieves the handler function.
