ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Not Bubbling To Stage?
Oct 26, 2009
I have a content clip that gets replaced by a movieClip from the library every time a button is clicked. Some of the content sections contain video. Within the video is a custom event firing that bubbles up through its parent clips all the way until it gets to the clip that was added to the stage on user click. It never goes beyond the content clip to the stage, where I need the listener. Isn't an event supposed to bubble all the way up to the stage? Why would it ever stop?The code is in 10 different places in 10 different files or else I'd post it.

I know the difference between the two, but I never felt the need to use the bubbling feature. If I want to listen to an event from a deeply nested children, I always use the capture phase. Could someone explain to me why I should rather use bubbling, its advantages, and maybe show me a situation in which bubbling would be the only solution?

Actually I wanted to know what is bubbling event and how to make use of it. Also, what is the concept of capturing, targeting and bubbling too?

I have a movie clip (cover) which covers another movie clip (stuff).I have set up Mouse Over on the Cover movie clip so that when you mouse over it, it tweens off of the Stuff movie clip.Then i have Mouse out set up on the Stuff movie clip so when you mouse out of it, the Cover clip tweens back in..
Now when I mouse over a MC that is inside the Stuff movie clip..it triggers the mouse out for the Stuff movie clip. this is undesired.I need my mouse to be active inside the Stuff movie, so mouseChildren = false doesn't work,because i then can not click on things inside the stuff movie clip.Right now i have managed to work around this by running a loop for each child inside the stuff, adding an event listener and telling the tween to stop on those events,but this won't work for children of those children without looping again.. and the children of those children's children would need looped as well... The question is.. How do I make a child movie clip not trigger the mouse out for it's parent(s)?

I can't figure out why the event listener callback function isn't being fired when a child object is being clicked. Since the "SelectionPoint" object is a child of this class, shouldn't the listener get notified of the MouseEvent.CLICK event during the capture phase?
Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;

In IE, if flash has focus, and receives a keydown event, it does not appear to bubble the event up through the DOM (I can't capture the event by listening on document, however the same listener can capture key events from html siblings, so I know my listener is working).
However, some other plugins on the page (I am looking at you windows media player) still respond to key events that initiate in flash (and I need to prevent that from happening)! It seems that the key event initiated in flash takes the bubble express highway straight to the top (where the top is whatever is above document in the DOM hierarchy). I have tried terminating the events in as3, and tried different wmodes... neither approach works.

I have a MovieClip which contains 4 Buttons:When the user mouses out of the container, it shoulddisappear:this.resolutions.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,this.resolutionsClose);When the user mouses out of any of the 4 Buttons, the event bubbles up to the container. This is not the expected behavior. How do I stop this propagation when none of the 4 Buttons have mouse out handlers?

What is the difference between event.bubbles to false for any event, And Setting event.stopPropagaion() or stopImmidiatePropagation() while handling event? I am using flex4 with as3.

"allows child clips to receive events despite the fact that a parent might make use of them as well, something not possible with the normal convention of handling button events where no child movie clip ever receives button events if a parent has any button event handlers defined for it." how to attach an event to an mc called "child_next" within "parent1".
Code:
import com.senocular.events.*
function handleEventMethod(eventObject:ButtonEvent):Void {
// trace event
if (eventObject.type != "onMouseWithin") trace(eventObject.type +"("+this+")");

I'm wanting to bubble events between a few custom classes, however, they are not Display Objects.Is there any quick and easy way to do event bubbling, without needing a display list?Or perhaps another way than needing to manually listen for each event that is attached and "relay" it every time it is dispatched?

I am having trouble with event bubbling when using the flash video player I've tried several methods to stop the player,before submitting here - but nothing I've tried seems to work The scenraio is: The site loads great - the buttons function correctly When the fourth button is click - it loads a frame with an embeded FLV player (the default vid player Flash uses when importing video into the swf) When the fourth button is click (Cheetah Coloring System)The video starts to play When any other button is clicked The video continues to play The embeded vid clip is named movie1 and i've tried using move1.stop(); but that stops the entire swf how to stop the movie - when another button is clicked?
COde used for the buttons::::
btn1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, bhp1DownHandler);function bhp1DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop(15);}
btn2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, bhp2DownHandler);function bhp2DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop(16);}
btn3_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, bhp3DownHandler);function bhp3DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop(17);}
btn4_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, bhp4DownHandler);function bhp4DownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {gotoAndStop(18);}

Environment:
Windows 7,
Internet Explorer 8,
Flash ActiveX 10.1.53.64,
wmode=transparent
Just wrote a small test page that you can load in IE and Firefox or any other Browser.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
[Code].....
So clicking any colored shape should produce an alert (except for the green one in IE, not sure why but I hope that's off topic and not related to my issue).
Clicking the Flash container in Firefox will work Perfectly fine. You should get alert boxes in this order containing: span, div and body. Flash bubbles the event to the HTML. But this is not happening in IE.
So why is Flash in IE not bubbling events to HTML?
Edit: As mentioned by Andy E this behavior can also bee seen in Google Chrome which to my knowledge is not using ActiveX to embed the flash movie into the page.

I have a utility class that I use to load images that never gets added to the stage and is extending EventDispatcher, it simply loads the data and spits it back out on request.
I want to add a custom event to track loading progress from outside the class. The events are firing but not (i think) bubbling because they aren't in the display list.
Is there a good way around this? I was thinking: Can I have a non display list object tell a display object to send the custom event for it?

I want to dispatch a MouseEvent.CLICK to a DisplayObject manually and make it bubble through all of it's children. The event is handled in the object that I dispatch it to, but does not seem to bubble (even though I specify that it should). Is it not possible to do this?
Code:
_targetObject.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true));
Code:
private function handleClick(event:MouseEvent):void
{
This method is executed, but no children will receive this event.
}

I have a MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL eventlistener setup for a custom scrollbar component that allows the wheel to control the scrolling up or down.Inside the Flash dev environment when I test the flash app it works fine. However, when I test the app inside a web browser ( which has its own vertical scrollbar ) the mouse wheel controls both the scrollbar in my flash app and the scrollbar in the browser.Is there a way to setup the eventlistener on my scrollbar that it prevents the MOUSE_WHEEL event from bubbling up to the browser?

I've been developing in flash for about 5 years now and consider myself a solid intermediate level developer, but I have a gap in my knowledge of events. I don't understand when bubbling events or catching events would be beneficial. I'm guessing there is a very obvious use for them, and being mostly self taught I've probably developed 'work arounds' to solve whatever issue they fix.
I've read the documentation and programmed a few test cases, but either for the interfaces I've developed or for whatever reason I've never ended up using them.

A swf (my game framework) loads another swf (a game). The game is loaded into a child domain which seems to be the default domain for loaded swfs.
The framework listens for custom events bubbling up from the game. However, the framework only receives events dispatched directly from the games document class but not from any of the games children.
Bubbling is set to true on everything, but it's not working? Is it only possible to dispatch events from the document class of the loaded swf.
swf(Framework -> listen) -> swf(game document root -> child) = no go!

I found this code for a contact form at[url]...and it dynamically creates input fields and buttons. I didn't like the dynamically drawn submit and reset buttons, so I added my own MCs(my 'buttons') to the stage.I tried modifying the code and took out the dynamically drawn buttons..However, I cant figure out how to add Event Listeners to the buttons which exist on the stage--Im getting undefined errors...[code]...

I need to add an event listener to the stage of this code.. this is for a scrolling slider.. and if your mouse is not over the scroll bar area when you release.. the slider gets "stuck" to the cursor and it won't release. I believe I need to add a listener to the stage for the mouse up state so that if your cursor is elsewhere on the stage and you release the mouse, it will release the slider.[code]...

I am having a problem with stage event listeners in Explorer 7 and up.I place an object, say a circle, on the stage in layer 1. I make it a symbol and give it an instant name of myBall_mc.I add a blank keyframe at frame 25 and create a motion tween moving the circle across the stage.I add a new layer, name it actions and place the following code in the first frame.
stop();
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick():void[code].....
Works perfectly when testing. Works perfectly when exported to a .swf in Firefox. Doesn't work at all in Explorer 7 and up.If I add a button to the stage and change the event listener to listen for a mouse click on the button, it works perfectly in all browsers.
Now here's the weird part. If I leave the script exactly like I have it above and place a box, the entire size of the stage, over the stage and set its alpha to zero. It works perfectly in all browsers. This is without even changing the event listener from stage to whatever I called the stage covering object.It registers as a stage level mouse click!
I've tried to add imports but this didn't change anything. I tried to add the parameters ,true and ,false to the stage event listener after the function name. Everthting I've tried comes up short. The only thing that works for Explorer browsers is covering the stage with an object.
