Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Event Target In XML Menu

Jan 13, 2011

I have a Image XML menu that works well, but with a litle problem with target in TweenMax. I will post only the code that is relevant to resolve the problem

I have a MC in library, and inside I have 3 movie clips, img_mc, bg_mc (this is a background for text) and title_mc (inside this mc I have a textfield named title-txt).

I create a for loop for the MC, and I use e.currentTarget in my tween animations.

When I hovered the title_mc is suposed to scale the background, but because bg_mc are in back of the text, the hover don't works. I do not know how to target the title_mc for on MOUSE:OVER scale the bg_mc.

[Code].....

This Last piece of code don't works because title_mc is over bg_mc.

If I put in event MC.container_mc.title_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, out_bg); the Text will scale too, and I don't want this...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Add Event Listener On Parent For Event.target = Child?

Jul 30, 2009

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.

Flash :: Creating An Instance Of A Movieclip With Event.target Information?

Jul 6, 2010

Is it possible to access the type of object being interacted with so I can create a new instance of the same object? So for example in the code below I have the movieclip myItem. After it's clicked it is removed from stage and then moved to the inventory. When I click on it there, is it possible to create a new instance of mcItemToDuplicate using the event information parameters? (while allowing myItem to be where it is).

My code looks something like this:

public function moveclip() {
var myItem:mcItemToDuplicate = new mcItemToDuplicate();
stage.addChild(myItem);

is there a way to somehow call disabledAction from rollOverHandler ? (so that the code doesnt repeat)

Flash :: Grab An Event In An Intermediary Handler, Hold It In A Property, Then Dispatch It Later And Still Get The .target?

Jul 22, 2010

Is it possible to grab an event, hold it in a class property, do some action, then, when that action is complete, dispatch an event and then retrieve the original event.target in the listener?I am trying to avoid using a custom event for now, as it is giving me massive amounts of heartburn when dispatching it from a loaded SWF.Here is some code (that doesn't work)what I am attempting to do:

package
{
import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;
import fl.transitions.Tween;[code]....

I am able to stash the event in a class variable, and then access it later, but the cherry on the icing would be to get it from the event fired withing tweenHandler() in my example above.

Edit: Well,it doesn't look possible.I am currently storing the retrieved event in a property _event and then getting it at a later time when I need it.This seems to work, but isn't wonderful.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Nested Movieclips - Event Listeners And Depth

I have two movie clips. The child movieclip is a button with rollover events which is nested inside the parent.

Actionscript 3 :: Get Name Value Of Event Target?

Apr 16, 2011

I'm implementing a text display area inside an app that displays selected text when the user mouses over one of four elements. Rather than creating a handler function for each element, I would like to get the name of the instance that is calling the handler in order to implement a switch statement. I've tried two ways, but both aren't working:

//install event handlers
initialText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);
timeText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);
withdrawalText.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOverHandler);

[Code]....

Both of those return undefined for the variable name. However, in the debugger, I can trace the event values through currentTarget.name, and that shows the instance firing the handler function, whether it be withdrawalText, initialText or timeText. So how can I apply the name value to a variable in order to determine which text block to display?

ActionScript 3.0 :: What's Going On With Event.target ?

I have a URLLoader and a Loader triggering the same function. If event.target is traced by this function it outputs [object URLLoader] or [object LoaderInfo].However, the if statements don't seem to know what the event is and won't output anything even though it traces fine in the first trace statment. What is going on here?

1) tween1 -> on tween finish launch onTweenFinish();
2) tween2 -> on tween finish launch onTweenFinish();

results in: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value.
 
What I want is to process all three tweens in a single function, but I need to know which tween it was. It is of course possible to make three separate functions, one for each tween, but that is just not proper.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Cant AddChild The Event.target?

Jan 29, 2009

i add eventlistener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER) to some movieclip. but when i write: addChild(event.target) it doesnt work.

More info: i have several rectangles on the stage. when movie starts, they all get alpha 0.3, when you mouse over any of them they get alpha 1 with tween. But i made it so that, rectangles are located over the each other. and i want to make it so, that when you mouse over any rectangle it comes to front, but it doesnt work with addChild(event.target).To try it at your own, just create 3 different sized boxes and give then instance names: square_mc, square2_mc, square3_mc and copy+paste this code.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Change An Event Target's Name?

Mar 22, 2009

Can I change an event target's name? or it's an only-read property? I've been googling it but to no avail... For example, say this is my button code:

[Code]...

if trace the event target's name, you get buttonOne. But what I need to do is have the event's target's name to become buttonOne1. because I already have a button with the instance name. That's my setup, not the way I would do it OF COURSE, but this is the way the unique file is setup for my aunt, to have two set of buttons that calls the same image...(not the thumbnail issue I had before)... so the Question: is there a way to add a letter or remove a letter from the event target's name? You know how you can add a letter to the beginning of an array like buttonsArray.unshift(newButton)....can you do the same thing with an event.target.name?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make The Target Of The Event?

Jul 10, 2009

I made this file, test1.fla where a movieclip named mc1 contains two other mcs. Then I wrote some simple code to make the target of the event (in this case a mouse event) shrink a little.

Here's the code I've used:

Code:
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onDown);
mc1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onUp);
function onDown(evt:MouseEvent):void {

[Code]....

When I test this movie, only the selected mc that I hover is the one that shrinks, the other does not shrink (I am talking about those guys inside mc1). However I have done a similar file called test2.fla in which I replaced the nested mc's with shapes, the code is exactly the same, but in this case it's mc1 that shrinks, I mean no matter what shape I hover with mouse, both shrink.

I know (think so) that this is because of event propagation, but why do these two files react in a different manner? Is it becase the mc's inside mc1 can also be a display object container, but shapes cannot?
