ActionScript 3.0 :: EventListener Function Specific To Generated Display Object Container?
Nov 16, 2008
This has to be simple, if only I knew how. I'm an AS3 newbie, and am having difficulty setting up multiple specific EventListeners within a code generated display object container.
I am generating a 'page' (Sprite) with a heap of 'cards' (Sprites) on it. Each of those cards, in turn, contains a selection of text boxes and other objects generated from database output using a 'for' loop. My hope is to attach an EventListener to each 'card' so that a MouseEvent will let me manipulate the data that lead to the content of that actual card (the i-th iteration of my for loop). I've been playing with everything I can think of (limited repertoire of thoughts though) and the best I've managed is for my EventListener to access the final set of data, whichever 'card' I click on. I've summarised and attached my code for the function, how to get back to the i-set of data from the EventListener attached to the i-th card. I can handle the PHP and MySQL side of things but am fumbling my way into the OOP of AS3.

can I resize a display object (container) without its contents (children) are resized?
For example, in the following code when I resize the green square, red is also resized. I wanted to resize only the green.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.Sprite;
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000);

was just trying to make my site more efficient when its online. I have an image/video gallery. When the thumbnail is clicked, an image or video will be displayed in the container I have. Currently, the code is like

And if so, will it be in the cache or anything when it is loaded again within the click event?

Is there a simple way to completely empty a display object container regardless of what it contains, including if it's already empty? In other words, without determining its children and using removeChild on each?

For some reason below is not working. It is probably very obvious but I am not seeing it. As soon as I comment out the container mc variable and just add Child to root timeline I see everything which means me container is not being added to the stage correctly.
stop();
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var i:int = 0;
var a:Number = 10;
var ageString:String;
var ageText:Array = new Array();

I'm trying to remove an eventlistener on (in this specific case) a HorizontalList. The list is initialized with the property itemRollOver="playPreview(event)" I'd like to remove this eventListener by switching state and stating something like: <mx:SetEventHandler target="{horList}" name="itemRollOver" handlerFunction="null" />
This doesn't seem to work. The event is still handled and playPreview(event:ListEvent) is still called. How to properly do this? (I know I can do it in Actionscript, but I specifically want to do it by means of state switching)

I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

I have two classes ( shown below after problem description), the InteractiveStrategy and Filters classes. The class InteractiveStrategy is the main class definition. In there I declare and instantiate two variables, updateData and filters. I also display the lists mqList and sqList. In the Filters class I have two methods, MainQuestions() and SubQuestions(mq:int). The method MainQuestions() populates a list mqList with the main-questions and SubQuestion populates list sqList with the sub-questions. This means each main-question has a set of sub-questions associated with it.
Thus whenever the main-question (via mqList) changes, the set of sub-questions must change also. My attempt at accomplishing the above is shown in the skeleton code below.The MainQuestions() method dispatches an event called 'mqChanged' while the filter.MainQuestions() listens for the event. However I have no idea of how to execute filter.SubQuestions(mainQuestion) with the newly selected mainQuestion so as to display the new set of sub-questions.
public class InteractiveStrategy{
public var updateData:UpdateData;
public var filter:ArrayFilter;
public var mainQuestion:int=0;
public function InteractiveStrategy(){

Before someone tells me that I should have searched the forum before posting an easy question like this one probably is that has already been posted and responded to a hundred times, I did try to search but I kept getting an error page saying something is wrong with the site. So anyways, what I am trying to do is have a text box display the number 100. Then there are two buttons. When one is hit, the number bisects between itself and last number lower than it displayed, when the other is hit it bisects between itself and the last number larger than it displayed. For instance, hitting the first button will change the value to 50 then when hit again to 25. If you then hit the second button it goes to 37.5 and then hit that button again it goes to 43.75. I have the following code:
var ce:Number=100;
ce0_txt.text=String(ce);
ce0left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bisectdown);

If I create a rectangle with 100px width and 100px height and then rotate it, the size of the element's "box" will have increased.With 45 rotation, the size becomes about 143x143 (from 100x100).Doing sometimes like cos(angleRad) * currentWidth seems to work for 45 rotation, but for other bigger angles it doesn't.At the moment I am doing this:
var currentRotation = object.rotation;
object.rotation = 0;
var normalizedWidth = object.width;

I am loaded images into a container that is being displayed on a map. I've created a string of my images names and am looping a loader to load each image and add them to the container.
var overlays=["compsmall.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall3.png","compsmall4.png"]
var overlay_container:MovieClip= new MovieClip();
function calloverlays():void
[Code]....
Once all of my images are loaded into the container overaly_container how can I call on a specific child of the container? For example how can I call on compsmall2.png once its been loaded into overlay_container?
I place these images onto a map by placing the whole container at the correct location. I then turn layers on/off by adding and removing the children within the container. This is why I'd like to specify a specific object in the parent.

I've got index.swf which is the file with the container. main.swf is the file to be loaded onto index.swf.I can't get my main to load into the container automatically at a specific time. When I click on the button the animation plays perfectly though.Maybe because loadMovie is unable to load over index.swf?I haven't inserted code for any of the other buttons yet though. I want to be sure I can make this work before I start doing everything else. I think it shouldn't matter though cause its only meant to load at a specific time.

I'm trying to setup something like Aspect Oriented Programming in Actionscript 3, basically the only thing I need to be able to do is something like this:
SomeClass.getMethod("methodName").addEventListener(afterMethodExecuted, function() {
//run code
});
This way I can run code after (or before) any method in any class has run, allowing numerous new possibilities.

Once navui_mc has completed the tween, I want to ad an MOUSE_OUT eventlistener to navui_mc, so that when I mouse off this mc is tweens out.The function call at the end of the tween seems to work as it is tracing that it has completed, but i dont think I can have the eventlistener in a function?

Code:
function enableButtons():void

for (var i:uint=0; i<40; i++)
[Code]...
I have 40 buttons on the stage. Their names are contained in the Array musicGrid. What I'm trying to do with this code is attach an EventListener to each button so that it will call the function mgMouseBehavior with a parameter to identify the button. For example, I want the button at musicGrid[0] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(0). I want the button at musicGrid[32] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(32), and so on.
However, if you try to add parameters to mgMouseBehavior in the addEventListener, for example:
Code:
musicGrid[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mgMouseBehavior(i));
Then you get Error 2007: Parameter listener must be non-null. How would I accomplish what I'm trying to do?
