ActionScript 3.0 :: Events Handling - Overriding Default MouseX?

Dec 4, 2009

I need to do something and I don't know if it's possible... in a proper way.

1 - I have an FULLSCREEN application that extends to two monitors in a Windows system.
2 - The graphic card is extending the single desktop to the two monitors, so the fullscreen fits everything correctly.
3 - Only one monitor is interactivity-enabled, with an interactive touch-sensitive foil on it, which works great.
4 - The second monitor is interactivity-disabled, it just displays stuff depending on what happens on the first monitor.

The Problem: The interactive foil on the interactivity-enabled monitor responds as if it is the *whole monitor*. But it only covers one monitor!! The *whole monitor*, are the two screens put together. I obviously can't cut the interactive foil in 2, and then stretch the two parts to fill a monitor each... So if one touches beyond 50% of the foil's width, the touch event will actually occur in the second monitor!

A fact for the solution is - if all Mouse Events occur with mouseX divided by 2, everything will work fine! How to make all Mouse Events's mouseX be divided by 2? Is there a way to do that in the core of the actionscript MouseEvents handling?

Flex :: Override Default Handling Of Editable Lists?

Aug 5, 2011

I'm trying to override the default handling of the 'up' and 'down' keys for an editable list, such that when they are pressed a list entry that is being edited behaves as if the escape key has been pressed, but the 'selected item bar' moves up or down.

Here is my (simplified) component:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:List xmlns:mx="[URL]"
enabled="true" width="100%" height="100%"
creationComplete="initialise()"
editable="true"
[Code] .....

For some reason this doesn't work: if a row is being edited, the first 'up' (or down) keypress ends the edit and moves the bar. Further up or down keypresses have no effect, but if you click somewhere near the list it does start working. This makes me think it is a focus issue. Weirdly, if you hit escape the edit finishes and you can move up and down correctly. If the 'callLater' line is uncommented to try and make the list retain focus, the bar initially moves in the direction of the keypress but then moves back again and re-edits the original line!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Handling Keyboard Events In Classes?

Nov 18, 2009

I'm trying to handle movement of my Hero Class by adding event listeners in my constructor. I'm trying to move my Hero object.Inside my hero constructor, I have:

Code:
//Adding Event listeners
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, reportKeyUp);
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, reportKeyDown);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, EnterFrame);

And then I have functions for each of the events above. For some reason,the event listeners for key up and key down are never being triggered.

Actionscript 3 :: Handling Multiple Events From A Single Listener?

Aug 18, 2011

I want to have a single event listener for multiple events and depending on the type of event i want to handle them separately.Something similar to Swiz framework see: 'Handling Multiple Events from a Single Method'.i have a piece of code like

var toolOptions:UIComponent=ToolOptions.createToolOptions(type);
if (options != null)
{[code]....

In above toolOptions is a mxml component which get dynamically created based on 'type'.Also which type of event should be dispatch the event from the component? eg: Event.SELECT. To be more precise the above is basically required for a toolbar.When user selects a tool,he is shown options for a tool and when he selects options,tool should apply them to object on the view.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Character In 3D Space Following MouseX

May 27, 2011

I'm a non-3D guy with a 3D problem to solve. I have a character moving around in 3D space (his Z value is fixed, like a 2D side-scroller with 3D graphics). He's supposed to follow the mouse. But because the mouse's Z is not the same as the character's, I obviously can't just set his Z to that of the mouse. I'm pretty sure I need to use the distance between the character and the camera when calculating the character's new X position. But I'm not the mathiest person around, and the wiki article on 3D projection ([URL]) made me a little dizzy. All I know is I need to do the inverse of what that article describes.

I'm not using any 3D engines. I've found posts about certain versions of PaperVision that actually have a method built into the Camera class to do exactly this (Camera.unproject()). I'm going to attempt to dig into that to see if I can pull out the formula that I need. But in the meantime I thought I would pick the brains of you brilliant Kirupians.

MouseX And MouseY Tracing Multiple Coordinates?

Jul 12, 2010

What I am trying to do here is control a movie clip with the mouse by setting the coordinates of one equal to those of the other. This is the code I have for that movie clip:

Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.display.MovieClip;

[Code].....

I get no errors whatsoever from this, but when I test it, I see the movie clip that I'm trying to control move with the general direction of my mouse movements, but completely offset from the mouse. Additionally, the movie clip flashes between four different positions constantly, and the output window traces the following four sets of coordinates even when I keep the mouse in one place:

Mouse Coordinates: 160,-110
Mouse Coordinates: 229,112
Mouse Coordinates: 237,368
Mouse Coordinates: 168,146

I'd like to know why there would be several sets of coordinates even when the mouse is stationary, and what I can do to fix this issue..

ActionScript 3.0 :: DisplayObject MouseX, MouseY, ... MouseDown?

DisplayObject's have MouseX and MouseY getters. This is very helpful sometimes.Is there a way to easily query input state variables such as MouseDown or KeyDown?If not, I suppose I need to add listeners for these events, which is fine.

I am just wondering:why MouseX and MouseY get special treatment without a listener; if there are other getters for input data without listeners that I don't know about in other parts of as3.

Actionscript 3 :: MouseX/Y Confusion When Dragging A Child Of A Container?

May 25, 2011

I've got a grid of images which are added to a imagecontainer(Sprite) in a class. When I click a button, the imagecontainer gets tweened(scaled) to 0.2 Now I would like to start dragging around the images. on mouse-down I add an enterFrame Event:

[Code]...

Unfortunately the image is never on the mouseposition but has a increasing/decreasing offset to the mouse pointer.The alternative, startDrag/stopDrag works perfectly, but I stll need the mouseX/mouseY for placing the image on a grid.I tried also parent.mouseX, no luck with that.Why is this happening? I thought mouseX/mouseY is always depending on the stage-dimension.
