I know how to remove an addEventListener from a movie clip, but is there anyway to detect the existing of an addEventListener before I remove it?On the other hand, how to add an addEventListener to a movie clip if it doesn't have one?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to override the addEventListener function to input an extra line of code to put the event listener type in an array so I can remove it all at once.But the override function doesn't seems to run.
Code:
override public function addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = true):void

View 3 RepliesI have an array of MovieClips containing about 200 MovieClips, each have its specific x & y positions on the stage & I have another array of TextFields of about 200 corresponding TextFields to MovieClips. What I'm hardly trying to do is to make a loop of "addEventListener" for the MovieClips that will result in appearance of the corresponding TextField alone when I move the mouse over a certain MovieClip, that is a tooltip for each MovieClip alone, while they are all gathered in an array.
View 12 RepliesI'm trying to load a local SWF then catch a few events that are fired but I can't see why this isn't working.
Here's the code
Parent.swf
_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
_mcl.addListener(this);
_mcl.loadClip("Child.swf", rotator_mc);

Now I was hoping that this would work, and the Parent would have "childLoaded caught 2" in the trace, but it doesn't.

I understand that I should set 2 things inside the ClickedF of addEventListener but I really don't know how to do it T_T
I have the following code from Adobe:
myListener = new Object();
myListener.click = function(evt){
trace(evt.type + " triggered");

myButton.addEventListener("click", myListener);
But this does not work though the btn on stage have the same Instance name as in code.
I have an array and want to add event listener to these. I have cards on stage and define their name using "event.target.name"HP Code:trace(event.target.name)returns the clicked objetc's instance name.

I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
Can someone please help. I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.

Is there any way to add an eventListener to a variable that listenes for if it change value?
View 2 RepliesIf in a situation, the addEventListener is being assigned more than once for same actionwhat will happen then? Suppose on frame 5 there is ample_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK...... ... and when user navigates the application/site it comes on frame 5 again and again. Will the addEventListener be applied more than once on that button? If yes then what will happen on clicking on that button? will the associated function be called more than once now?
View 5 RepliesI have made the flash file into CS3 and simplified the idea a bit. Basically I want to click the box on the right to start playing the song and the spectrum and then if I click it again it will stop playing the song and the spectrum then if I click it again it will start playing again ect ect. I could not upload the song.mp3 cause the file size was too big you will have to replace it with another mp3 in the root of the folder and name the mp3 song.mp3.
View 3 RepliesI want to do something quite simple, but am new to AS3 and the changes since AS2.I want to click a button (play_btn)Then when this happens it opens a SWF (movie.swf) into a placeholder (placeholder_mc) onto the stage. That's it!
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, placeholder_mc);
function placeholder_mc(event:MouseEvent):void{
trace("pressed");
loader.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));
}
I have created a scrolling bar menu. All the buttons in the menu work except for the last two. When I place a trace statement within the function it definitely is listening to all the buttons except for the last two. All instances are named correctly. Can the size of the scroller be contributing to why the addEventListener is not working?

I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information. What I was trying to do was instead of creating new functions and event listeners for every different icon is to use a for loop...but it's not going so well.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI currently have a .swf file that is nested into another .swf file. In the parent SWF file I use a UILoader to load the other .swf file. uiLoader.source = "data/child.swf";- In the child SWF file I have stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyPressedDown); and when I run it on it's own, it works perfectly; but when I run child.swf through parent.swf stage.addEvent... give me a null reference exception. Is the stage part of what is causing the issue?, and if so, is there a way to fix this?
View 2 RepliesI want to add a series of event listeners. they work fine in individual lines of code:
ActionScript Code:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
resume.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
but when i use this loop, i get a 1006 error, "value is not a function":
ActionScript Code:
var buttonNumber:Number;
var buttonName:Array=new Array("home","resume","portfolio","contact");
for (buttonNumber=0;buttonNumber<4;buttonNumber++) {
buttonName[buttonNumber].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,route); }
is there something obvious that's wrong with my last line in that loop? i've narrowed it down to the part where I call the array value. but after that - I'm at a loss!
