I am trying to write a custom class for image loading.
public function imageLoader(url:String, mc:MovieClip):void {
loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest(url));
[Code]....
I ll get the events in these listeners in the loadImage class. But i want to trigger a function in the calling class or root or stage, when these loader events are fired.
I have a class called "download" and an URLStream object inside it called "urlStream".
From outside the class, I am adding a progress listener like this[code]...
Everything works fine inside the onFileProgress function and bytesLoaded, bytesTotal are read correctly.
What I need is a way to point to the download class from inside the onFileProgress function so that I can retrieve some other public variables defined in the "download" class.[code]...
I have 1 MC with another MC inside it. That MC is triggering a function that is called for when a third Mc is in hitTest wich affects the first MC. How to get make the function to effect the parent of the triggering MC?
View 1 RepliesI have a MovieClip that is composed in a parent (non-display object) class. We register an event listener against that movieclip - a CLICK handler for example.
With event.target I can get a reference to the MovieClip from within the event handler. But how can I pull a reference to its composing class?
I could simply add a "parentClass" property on the dynamic MovieClip class, but I'm wondering if there's a more elegant/idiomatic way of doing it that I should consider?
I am trying to create a project where I have a homemade button with a label component inside converted to a MovieClip. I have added an event listener, which triggers successfully when I move into the MovieClip, but retriggers when I move into the label within the MovieClip. Is there anyway to tell it to stop retriggering and act as a single MovieClip, or would it be simpler to break down and just try to customize the Button component?
Here is a sample of what I'm trying to do:
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
btBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, funcClick)
btBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, funcClick)
btBox.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, funcClick)
[Code]......
Notice how it thinks I mouseOut of btBox when the mouse went over the label, and went back to the btBox after I left the Label.
I cannot bubble the event because I want to send to another class that is not even a movieclip but a simple class. So I transform previous source code here Is it impossible with Flash to get the Instance Creator ? for

I just recently been using a lot of prototype javascript stuff, and was wondering there was anything like the "bind" method, for use in AS3. It's proved quite useful to be able to look both at the event.target as well as the class object the handler function might be associated with.
View 5 Replieshow to do this, but I was wondering if there is a way to do the following without setting up an event listener for each textfield...
I have a bunch of input textfields on the stage (50+).
I want flash to gotoAndStop at frame 5 whenever ANY of the text fields have something typed in them.
Possible to do without setting up 50 event listeners? Is it possible to just set up one event listener that is trigerred when any input field on the stage is changed?
I am trying to build a simple application. The first phase is selecting to upload a file from the user desktop or from the site's gallery.
The question is if the user chose to upload from the gallery, say, go to an PHP page gallery, choose a photo and then redirected to the Flash app. How would you trigger the Flash up to know there was an image chosen and it should load it?
Does PHP send a variable or create an XML based on a choice and pass it via Flash variable, or does it need JavaScript to tell Flash that if the Flash var is not empty run this function?
This code works fine in my IDE but when I test it in a browser, the Event.COMPLETE function appears to trigger twice. I put a throw error command in to make it show up in Flash debug Player and the error gets thrown twice. I've even done a string search through the code to see if I've added more than one listener but no luck.
ActionScript Code:
private function downloadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
_s.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, downloadCompleteHandler); // Clean up
_s.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloaderBar); // Clean up

My code is contained in a movie clip that plays an animation on roll over and reverses the animation on roll off. The reverse uses a timer that backs up a frame on the each time event. It works for the most part.
Problem: I tried to use watchTimer.stop(); to end the timer. But the eventListener that tracks timer events keeps triggering which I don't want.
Code:
var watchTimer:Timer = new Timer(30);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, foldUp);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, foldDown);[code]....

View 1 Repliesthe code below is placed on one frame of the main timeline...it works, but apparently continually triggers the "gotoAndPlay" action over and over again. How can an ENTER_FRAME event be made to play a moive clip such as "staged_kiss_mc" only once?
The playhead on the main timeline rests in this single frame for a while; it would be great if "staged_kiss_mc" were to only play once, when the playhead first enters this frame, rather than apparently repeating continually...is there code to stop this repetition?

I'm attempting to use a custom event and cant figure out what I'm doing wrong.The event just doesn't seem to be either triggering or received.I borrowed the code from the internet, but I only know enough about custom events to sort of figure out what the code is doing.I have a movieclip inside of another movieclip.I need to close the child movieclip when a button on the child mc is pressed.I'm attempting to listen for a custom "close button clicked" event on the parent mc.[code]again...the event just never happens.I never see the output of the trace in the parent movieclip.I do see the output of the trace "OK button pressed" from the child movieclip though.
View 1 RepliesI've a MovieClip named "Player" that contains three MovieClips (one on each frame): "Idle", "Walk", and "Attack". Idle and Walk are working as intended�when Player is on the appropriate frame, the animation cycles constantly; however, I am having trouble with my Attack animation.I want the Attack animation to only play through completely one time then throw an event so I can resume either the Idle or Walk animation. Is there an event that fires at the end of a MovieClip's timeline, or is there a better way to do this?
View 5 RepliesI'm struggling to move from AS2 to AS3 and trying to mimic an old AS2 trick. When the playhead hits a frame on my mc's timeline with this code:
_root.gotoAndPlay("3");
the main/root/parent timeline would go to frame 3. Clean, short, simple. How can I do this in AS3?I've tried this code but it didn't work:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, proceedNow);
function proceedNow(event:Event){
//parent.nextFrame();
parent.gotoAndPlay("3");

While trying to load a Bitmap onto a SWFLoader the Event.COMPLETE event is not being triggered
mySWFLoader.source = new Bitmap(Bitmap(someEvent.content).bitmapData);
but if I use a URL as source the complete event is triggered:
mySWFLoader.source = "http://example.com/123.jpg";
Is there some kind of restriction while using Bitmap as source?
I have a file that loads in several flvs.At certain points during the flvs, I need to trigger events on other timelines.Right now, I have them set up as listeners using enterFrame to detect playheadTime.This works, but is too hard on the CPU that is running the file.Is there something similar to VideoEvent.COMPLETE that could trigger events at other specific points in the flv?

i have some dynamic text fields getting data from XML. I can hilite their links with rendering as html and using css without a problem. What I want to do ise, triggering some events with them in rollover states, such as popping small information windows... I've made a thorough search for asfunction on the net & kirupa, but asfunction triggers on click, which doesn't really help. Another solution i have in mind is detecting what word is cursor on and taking acting through this, and found a .fla file mentioned in forums that does this, but again, it needed to click on the word (it used selection method, therefore textfield needed to be selectable). Yet another approach could be dynamically creating transparent buttons over the links, but i don't have the slightest idea how to get the x & y coordinates of a text string on screen. It's easy to get the location of the text field, but how can we get the exact loc of string in it? It was possible in director as far as i remember, but don't know about flash..

Our testing department found that my flash menu sometimes doesnt work after going back to a page by clicking Back button in browser (Firefox).
It happens rarely and randomly, yet still it happens.
i cant see any pattern in its behavior and any reason in it.

i've tested this in every way i could think of,
it gets ROLL_OVER event, but not CLICK event.
ive also tested it with hasEventListener and it always has. its just not triggering function.
BUT clicking anywhere on page outside flash makes it work again.
Question: whose fault is this? Flash? Drupal? Firefox? God?
UPDATE: it looks like its caused by <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>.
Firefox seem to have problem with that.

View 1 RepliesI 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 textfield in flex with a focusOut event on it. I can type in the box and in Firefox and Chrome when I click elsewhere on the page (outside the flash element) the focusOut event will be triggered. However in IE8, the texfield never loses focus when you click elsewhere on the page, outside the flash object. I've tried with focusManager.browserMode set to true and false with no difference (I believe that effects incoming focus anyway).
View 1 RepliesI think this is a pretty simply problem but I do not seem to be able to pull it off. Basically I have a parent class A, and a child class B.Class A instantiates class B with addChild.There is a shared object which is being updated from a java server (red5) that has an event listener attached to it in class A.I have a function in class A which will pass certain, specific updates from this shared object to class B.The problem occurs is that when class B is instantiated, the event listener from class A doesn't work anymore. I have not removed the event listener from A.?
