ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Detect Custom Event In Classes

Oct 17, 2010

I am learning how to do a custom event in AS3. I can do an event in a class but I dont know how to detect events in other classes. I want to detect in main.as an event reached in class player. E.g., a variable reached a value 4 in class payer and dispatches an event so main.as can detect it. This doesn't give an error but my code doesnt output I can deect an event in main from classplayer.

//main
myplayer=new ClassPlayer();
myplayer.addEventListener("image_loaded",imageLoad edHandler,false,0,true);
myplayer.addEventListener ("watcher_loaded",watcher_loadedHandler,false,0,tr ue);
addChild( myplayer);
[Code] .....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Listen To A Custom Event In Various Classes At Same?

Jul 17, 2011

I'm using a electronic device to dispatch events within AS3.
 
short explanation: -->

Think of these events as a KeyboardEvent.My point is to dispatch an Event (like a Key that is being pressed) so I can listen to this event on EVERY Class I need to.I'm not sure how to instantiate or listen to these events correctly =/
 
I mean: I want to be able to listen to the key that is been pressed as if that was a global event every Class can receive...
 
long explanation: --> I'm doing something like this:

1) created a (main) Class that extends a Sprite.

2) created a class (KeyboardInput) that extends the main class.

3) created a class (KeyMap) that extends EventDispatcher.

4) created a class (HomeScreen) that extends a Sprite.
 
 My FLA file is associated to the KeyboardInput Class.This Class creates a listener for the KEY_DOWN KeyboardEvent and instantiate the KeyMap Class that dispatches a CustomEvent:
 
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,function(evt:KeyboardEve nt):void { keymap = new KeyMap(); keymap.setKey(String.fromCharCode(e.charCode)) });[code].....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variable Referencing Between Classes And Custom Event?

Nov 5, 2009

I finally got the variable referencing between classes and custom event problems sorted out. Now I got a question regarding the Error #2044 and Error #2035. The error reads like this:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

I've put all the swf in the same directory, so I don't think that is the problem. Could it be that my XML file is in another directory that's causing the problem? I also heard having quotes in the URL in the XML file could also be problematic. Is that true? Here are my AS and my XML file.

Flex :: Event-based Interaction Between Two Custom Classes?

May 25, 2010

I have 2 custom components, which have their own nesting hierarchy ... One is container for another. I have to "familiarize them" with each other. The way I'm trying to achieve that is using global events (one side is firing and the other one is catching):

Application.application.addEventListener("Hello", function (data:Event):void{
// .. some actions
});

[Code]...

Then should be created the connection between container and it's child.

BUT, the only thing I could acheive is passing a reference to the Container in the DynamicEvent. Is there any chance that I could access the child at the event-handler function.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Base Classes And Custom Classes

Jun 25, 2009

I've created a base class to house some basic functions I'd like to have across several movie clips in a game I'm making, however, when I link a custom class to the same movie clip I get the message; "The base class will not be used because the class specified is already defined and extends its own subclass. If you wish to use the base class, specify a class name in the Class field that will be auto-generated or enter the default base class 'flash.display.MovieClip' in the Base Class field." I removed the 'extends MovieClip' inside the Class but it still shows the message. Does this mean that I cannot use a custom class and a custom base class on a movie clip?

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4 Disptaching Custom Event From Custom Component (why Flex Converting Custom Event To Mouseevent)?

Mar 2, 2012

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));

Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message

Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent

The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.

This is my custome event

package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import ui.map.MapElement;

Flex :: Event Flows For Built-in Event And Custom Event

Aug 22, 2011

I hava a custom component and it contains a child icon. If I add a mouse-click event listener to both component(click-listener1) and icon(click-listener2), the event dispatched sequence is click-listener2, then click-listener1. I can understand it. But if I add a custom event to component (listener1), and mouse-click event to icon(listener2), when icon is clicked, the component will dispatch the custom event. In my test, the event dispatched sequence is listener1, then listener2. It doesn't match with event-bubbles rule.

In my opinion The custom event is dispatched in listener2, which triggers listener1. Why event flow sequence is not listener2, listener1?

In component.

icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, iconClickHandler);
private function iconClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4.5 Not Listening To Custom Event Dispatched In Custom Class?

Nov 4, 2011

I have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:

package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..

So to sum it all up:

- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.

- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.

Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.

Flex :: Dispatching Custom Event From A Custom Component?

But I never see the "game clicked: " trace. Does anybody please know why? I'm probably missing something minor, because I can see the "Clicked: 8946" trace.

IDE :: How To Add Custom Classes

Apr 8, 2010

I use multiple custom classes like tweenlite, csvparse, papervision and many more. The way I do is put them in one central location and edit Flash CS4 Actionscript 3.0 settings to include that location.The problem I face is even though I don't use all the classes in a project, flash CS4 compiles every single class that is in that central location eventually increasing my compile time by minutes.

Flex :: Propagating Event From A Built-in Component To A Custom Event?

Jan 27, 2012

I am trying to understand event propagation in Flex framework and have a following doubt on it:

Scenario: I have a built-in component DropDownList on change of which I want to create a custom event refreshPreview and want to propagate it to a custom component PictureComponent.

In the custom component's mxml, I have added the Metadata directive as follows to register a refreshPreview event with the compiler

<fx:Metadata>
[Event(name="refreshPreview", type="flash.events.Event")]
</fx:Metadata>

Layout Details: In my main mxml application I have laid out DropDownList and the custom component such that both are siblings (i.e. have a common indirect parent)
e.g.

<s:Group id="contentGroup">
<s:Group id="formGroup">
<s:Form x="11"

[Code]....

I am seeing that the refreshPreview event is not getting propagated to the custom component.

I doubt this is because the built-in component is a sibling of the target (where the event got generated) and not a parent. how to make refreshPreview event propagate to custom component?
