ActionScript 3.0 :: Get Underlying "target" Of Custom Right-click ContextMenu?
Aug 18, 2011
This is probably something simple I'm missing. There are tons of tuts out there on how to setup a custom right-click menu, however, I've not seen anything on how to get the target of the right-click, not the menu item, but the object actually right-clicked...
Here's the code I'm using. In the customMenuItemHandler I need both the target menu item AND the target object that was originally clicked to open the menu.[code]...

in a flash application i have to build i would like to find out what the target of the context menu is, which gets displayed when i ctrl-click.the reason for that: i created a custom context menu, which only displays over a certain area of the Sprite it belongs to. so there seems to be something "blocking the way".

Been tearing my hair out for ages trying to get my custom ContextMenu to apply to a TextArea, It will just display the default (copy, paste ect...).
import mx.events.FlexEvent;
public var nm:NativeMenu = new NativeMenu();
public var cm:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();[code].......

i attached a custom contextmenu to a sprite. there is another sprite lying "on top" of this first one. so if i try to invoke the custom context menu of the first one, it does not show when the cursor is over the second one.
i already set the properties "mouseEnabled" and "mouseChildren" of the second one to "false"

I have create a custom contextMenu using AS3 and can apply that to the stage. Any movie clip I place onto the stage does not inherit the contextMenu from the stage, i.e. they display the default contextMenu.How do I apply my custom contextMenu to every child in my application?
[edit]This is a simplified version of what I have in my main.as file:
var my_menu:ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
my_menu.hideBuiltInItems();
var my_copyright = new ContextMenuItem("Copyright - 2012");
I was adding a background image using stage.addChildAt(mc, 0);. For some reason this removes the context menu. Placing the child at 1 fixes this and allows everything to inherit the contextMenu.

I'm pretty sure my code is OK as the Context Menu shows nicely when I compile for web, but when I compile for AIR nothing shows up.

I would like to add custom right clicks to a number of spark list controls. I have tried the following as an item renderer. (as per the flex 4 cook book). Full Render code here [URL] When I right click on the Spark List I simply get the Adobe Default Context menu. This is the same default behaviour I had before I added any code to this.

I have a container with several movieclips in. I added an eventlistener to the container and on roll over i trace the e.target.name. The problem is when i roll over the e.target.name is the name of the container, while when i click the e.target.name is the target of the object inside the container. Anyone know how to solve this?

I've googled around and seen this topic at a million places but I just don't get the solution![url]...
Like in the image above. My red movieclip is dragable when mouse_down and dropped when mouse_up. At the same time I want the underlying Blue MC to get it's mouseEvents but if the Red MC is overlapping it, it won't react. What do I do to make both active?

MouseEvent.target will return the target object... but how do I access the specific object type? I know it's probably simple... but it's late and I'm fried. The code below obviously doesn't work. I just need someone to tell me what to put instead of [object MovieClip] and [object SimpleButton]
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fOnClick);
function fOnClick(e:MouseEvent):void {

I have a component based on canvas, and within that component I have two images. I have the component listen for a click and when that event occurs one image goes transparent and the other becomes visible. This part works perfect. Now, on clicking that component, I also want to do something to the parent canvas, I already have this working for more basic types (image, canvas, text, etc) but the problem with my component is that the click event has the internal image as the target, so what I want to happen to the outside canvas is happening to the canvas of the component. How do I make my component as a whole the target of any clicks on it?

does anyone have a clue for wich actionscript 3 code I can use to do this?
my code is:
const TWEEN_IN:String = "tweenIn";
const TWEEN_OUT:String = "tweenOut";
var tweenDirection:String;

I am working on a simple "Drag and Drop" deal and I have encountered an interesting bug that I can't seem to track down. When testing the movie, the FIRST TIME you click and drag any of the objects (black circles in this case) to their target (the big rectangle), all is well. However upon dragging them OUT of the target area, the object appears to "fight back" against being dragged. I am fairly new to Actionscript and can't seem to find the answer for this one elsewhere. I'm going to apologize in advance for the messy script.

I have an image of a target on stage, that moves left and right. In the center of the image is an invisible button, occupying the centre circle of the target. The idea is you click the invisible button on the moving target and this starts another movie playing. Seems to me the action script should reside in the button, and be something like this:
on(release){
targetPath(this.movie2);
play();
}

We have a Flash swf object embedded in an html page. When the user sees the page it's just a small button, but on the rollover state the area of the object expands and covers more of the page. This is how it was designed. The problem seems to be that the maximum size of the swf object, even though it's transparent and "invisible" unless the user rolls over the button, blocks out all the underlying html so you can't access any of the links. It's as if the object is covering that part of the page even when it's not expanded. I've tried every publish setting I can imagine to compensate and make the item truly transparent so the "hidden" underlying links will still be clickable, but just can't get it.

I'm running into an instance where I am trying to load a file 'main.swf' using the Loader class and the content of the 'evt.currentTarget.content' points to '[ object Main__Preloader__ ]'. When attemting to trace the content of the loader, I would expect the trace would show similar to '[object Main ]' since the document class for the main.swf is 'Main'. In Safari I can get the file to load and play properly (admitting through a work around) however, on Firefox for mac all that displays is some sort of 'preloader' (which I can assure you I did not create) which looks like so:
Here's the animated sequence:
oooooooooo
I will mention I am using CS5 on a mac and this file works fine when published from CS4 to FP9. I will also mention that the main.swf does contain imported assets from a RSL.

I know ADG related questions generally get ignored because "it's a crappy component". Indeed, it is not one of my favorite pieces of code ever, but I'm stuck with it and have been working (pretty hard) at optimizing its performance. Turns out there's a fair amount of stuff one can do to make things go fast. One thing I've been stuck on, though, is not to optimize adding an element to the underlying dataprovider. Say you want to add a row to the ADG using a addChildAt call on the DP. All seems well but the operation is so slow - it's unbearable. Now, I realize that the ADG may need to redraw all the stuff below the line added, but seriously, in 2011 that should not take a load of time and 100$ of my CPU. Does anyone know what may be the main culprit?
Note: I'm able to catch the CollectionEvent of kind "add" and not deliver them to the ADG, which I thought would do the trick, but the ADG still updates and takes forever to do so, so I'm guessing there's something else somewhere else.

When you have movies in a layer, how can you stop the buttons of the underlying levels from showing through. I don't want the user to think that there is a button on the level showing because the cursor turns into a hand....plus also when clicked it does activate the lower movies actions.

So I'm Bitmaping some heavy stuff to try bring down the [pre-render] and [render] which is quite high according to FlashBuilder's profiling. I thought this was going well until I realised that as soon as you change a MovieClip to a Bitmap, you lose the pixel based accuracy of the mouse move events (Over, Out, Move...), all your left with is the entire bounding box of the Bitmap, something which is less than desirable. I've got a game where many Bitmapped assets would be on top of each other in a scene, on the stage, arranged in various ways and need to have that pixel accuracy moving between each one and have exhausted my efforts as to how to achieve the same mouse move results with the Bitmapped guys as normal.
This, [URL], is a FLA which shows this operation, and you can see how it works here, [URL]. When it loads up, both items on stage are drawn Shapes, encapsulated in MovieClips, both that get a glow, if you hover over them. If you click the stage at all, the purple guy gets turned into a Bitmap and now, his 'hit area', when it comes to MouseEvents is his whole bounding box and you can only get through to the back green item at the edge slivers.
I'm also tracing the pixel which the mouse is over, so I can clearly tell when the mouse is over a transparent area, it's 0, but how can I tell the event to forward itself on down the chain to the green MovieClip?
Below is how it's now pretty much working for me,
var bitmap:Bitmap = this['bitmap'];
var shouldMouseOver:Boolean = bitmap.bitmapData.getPixel(event.localX - bitmap.x, event.localY - bitmap.y);
if(shouldMouseOver)
[Code].....
I shut off mouseEnabled for my item, when I know it's wrong, then I search for another item that properly fits the bill and if there is one, send an Event to that and break. If that one's also wrong, it'll do the same again, but each time taking themselves out of the loop.
This does work exactly how I want it to, but I'd always prefer to keep things like globalToLocal and looping, and reading from arrays for not frequently updated methods like listeners to MOUSE_MOVE. Is there a more efficient way to do this?

I'm using jQuery Autocomplete just as in this example: [URL] The problem is, the area where you see the Result box in that example - that's where my flash object is. So, when the autocomplete dropdown appears, most of the text is concealed by the flash object (which I can't move). How can I make the autocomplete text appear over the flash object (concealing its view rather than vice versa)?

I have an (empty) ArrayCollection that I wrap with a ListCollectionView. Then I add a series of items to the ArrayCollection, but these are not showing up in the view.
public var transactions : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
public var filteredTransactions : ListCollectionView = new ListCollectionView(transactions);
transactions contains 150 items, filteredTransactions contains none. I originally thought it was the filter I was applying, but even when I remove the filter, I still get no items in the filtered list.
Do I need to add the items to the view as well as the underlying collection (this would seem to defeat the purpose of using a view though...)?

I am trying to learn about Custom Components at the moment. As a task I'm hoping to create a component that I can drop on my stage beside a couple of movieclips. Then using the component inspector I would like to set one clip as a button and the other as the response. So basically, when i click on the button, it reveals the other clip. Click and reveal!
