I want to draw a shape and want that shape to do something when I click it. But it seems not working. Where did I do wrong?
This is the code
Code:
package script
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Shape;
[code]....
The Circle was initialized and drawn, but nothing happens when I click it. No compile errors happened too.
I have an eventListener that is listening for the end of an audio channel that is playing an external MP3:
d1Channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete, false, 0, true);
function soundComplete( e:Event ):void {
trace("sound over");
[code].....
I am which requires few things like;
1. swf should play if client open it at his end (this will be detected by checking a text file which has variable on the local drive say "C") swf should preload if finds flashvars from HTML file on server by user 3. if both of the above conditions dosent work then swf should not play
I have succeeded some what in this. if i run the file without preloader it work fine. but when i add preloader to it something goes wrong.

I haven't used AS in a while so I am trying to relearn it. I am trying to add an event listener to this sprite I created called Ball. I have a child of the Ball class in created in the Main class, so it seems like it should work. But whenever I press a key nothing happens.Main class:

For Flash websites that have background music or videos with audio, an essential piece of code I add is the DEACTIVATE and ACTIVATE event listeners...
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE,fadeOutSound);
addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE,fadeInSound);
These event listeners receive a message from the browser whenever the user opens another window or a program. And at that point I fade out the sounds and pause the videos. It prevents my site from making annoying noises in the background while the user is doing other things.
One limitation of ACTIVATE and DEACTIVATE is that every browser handles them differently. Worst of all, Google Chrome doesn't seem to handle them at all. I am wondering if there is something in my HTML or Javascript that I can do to make them work in Google Chrome. I can't seem to find anything on the subject.
For an example of these events in action, you can check out my personal website. URL]
If you leave my page, the music will fade out. It will fade in when you come back.
Note: You do have to click on the Flash first before you leave the window, or it won't work.
I have a form that is being created at the point the user clicks on. The algorithm is checking to see if a form exists in the same spot- if it doesnt, new object is created, if it does- result is traced. If no objects are on the stage- a new object is added. For some reason in this code- I get no results for the Mouse_Down event on the form itself. Method being called in main timeline:

I 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.
View 3 Repliesif I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
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.
View 3 RepliesI'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.
View 1 RepliesThis 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:

how can i access event.target outside event listener method.say for example
my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onC);
function onC(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var m:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip;
}
trace(m.totalframes);/// not working
now what if i want to get totalframe property of m instance, in short for every movieClip clicked.
I am doing this inside a module containing viewstacks and their childs.Calling onInit() on creationComplete of module.When I am inside one of the childs of a viewstack of this module and press Enter, it doesnt not invoke the listener function at all (bp inside this does not get hit).
private function onInit():void{
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
}[code]..........
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.
I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
test01.abtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.bbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.cbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);[code]....
It is only targeting the movie clip, not the buttons inside the movie clip.

I have a code in AS3 that works when you rollover it. I need to use the same code but not with an eventlistener for a mouse event but a frame event when the timeline plays the clip

printableInvoice.addEventListener(batchGenerated, printableInvoice_batchGeneratedHandler);Results in this error: 1120: Access of undefined property batchGenerated. I have tried it as FlexEvent.batchGenerated and FlashEvent.batchGenerated.
The MetaData and function that dispatches the even in the component printableInvoice is all right. It I instantiate printableInvoice as an mxml component instead of via action-script it well let put a tag into the mxml line: batchGenerated="someFunction()
This is something that tugs at my mind a lot so I figured I'd ask the community. If I have a class called MyParentWidget and it contains an instance of MyChildWidget with an instance name of myChildWidget then I will often do something like this:

I have this movie with a listener on the main time line included from an actionscript file.

I'm building a center stage object and I wanted to know if there's any way to add a event listener that checks if the children have changed in size.[code]This seems like it should be available but I can't find a reference.

I have a simple roll over animation. After the roll over, is there any way to disable the event listener so that the animation will play completely before any further interaction happens? Then re-enable it so it can be rolled over again? [code]...
View 11 RepliesI have a rollover function that sets alpha values, and i also have a click function that sets the alpha even higher on click. I also have a roll out function to return it to normal when roll out. The thing is i want it to hold the high alpha value on click because that is the web page is selected. It works, but the second i rool out or roll over, it sets the value back. [code]...
View 13 Repliesi have my main swf that loads different swfs for content.on a portfolio page i have two buttons web and print.by default print loads first.
but lets say someone has entered my portfolio and while print is loading the user clicks on web, the print has not done loading so its even listeners will not be removed causing a clash with my web swf pre loader and letting it work.
