Is there a way to ignore children from the mouse over event? So that when i hover my mouse over the parent's children, the event isn't called.
I have a button with a MovieClip over the top of it. Is there an easy way to tell flash to ignore the mouseOver events of the MovieClip in ActionScript so my button doesn't flash?
View 1 RepliesI have a sprite containing a 3x3 grid of boxes. I have a rollover event attached to the container sprite, but I only want it to fire off when I go over some of the boxes, not all. I've tried using mouseEnable = false and mouseChildren = false on the relevant boxes within the sprite, but when the cursor rolls over ANY boxes within the container sprite it fires off the event, not just the ones I want to be activated.How can I get the mouse to ignore certain children within the container sprite, without actually taking them out of the sprite?
View 7 RepliesIn my game there is a podium which at some point can have people on it which are added as children. There is a mouseover event listener on the podium to bring up a rollover box. I only want this rollover to appear when the mouse is over the podium graphicPodium Sprite:Children )-> graphic:Sprite ( visuals for the podium )-> person:Sprite ( a person on the podium)(children) -> graphic:Sprite ( visuals for person)Now the problem is, the person graphic overlaps and extends beyond the podium one causing the rollover area to popup when the mouse is outside of the podium area if its over the perseon sprite.

I have a basic mouseover in my flex application which changes an image onmouseover and changes it back onmouseout using the code mouse Over "functionToChangeImageSource()" and another one to mouseout.It works fine when you slowly mouse over and out, however if I quickly move the mouse over it, it occasionally stays on the mouseover image and the mouseout function doesnt appear to kick in. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does anyone have any ideas why its happening?Also, I've tried the rollOver and rollOut instead but it has the same problem.[code]I'd imagine you're correct about the mouseover event not completing before mouseout is but how to I fix this?
View 3 RepliesI have a simple movie clip for which i bind two events 1-MouseOver and MouseOut
in these events i am just tracing simple text
But the Problem is when i take my mouse over the movie clip both events called tracing the string in the output panel
Infact, things should be done like that on mouse over, its text is printed and when i take my mouse away[out] from the movieClip MouseOut event should be called.

View 4 RepliesI have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:

In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
I want to have a rollover effect of a movieclip (mo1) inside a movieclip (mo) of another movieclip (popup1).Is it possible to do that? I try calling it using this code in the frame 1 of my flash, am i doing wrongly?

popup1.mo.mo1.onRollOver = function() {
popup1.mo.mo1.gotoAndStop(2);

Newbie to XML here and I have what I *hope* is an easy problem, but I just don't know the answer. And as I have to try and show this by Monday, I'm sort of stuck. I am trying to pull in information about houses via an xml file. Each house has 1 address, 1 owner, 1 description, and about 6 photos. I have no problem accessing the address, owner, etc, and I can always access the first photo, but whenever I cycle through the photos, I seem to cycle through the first photo for every house, not every photo for each house.
Basically, I need the children <images> to go up by one, without the the parent going up by 1. I am hoping I am describing this well. My code looks like this:

I have a Canvas which has many components inside it and those again, have many components inside them.
getChildren() returns only the top level children. What is the best way to retrieve all the children (children of children of children and so on).
Well, I sorta know how to do this by iterating through the children, but the code is really messy. I'd prefer to use a nice recursive function. Has anyone written this before? Or is there a Util class to do this?

for some reason STORAGE[0].getChildAt(0) works whereas liner.getChildAt(0).getChildAt(0) does not. STORAGE is a movieclip and a child of liner. the error is something about not being able to use getChildAt on a display object. what's wrong? is there any other approach i could use? PS: liner.getChildAt(0) works and does indeed seem to refer to STORAGE[0]

View 1 RepliesIs there some library for flex, that will let me: define properties to fully exclude from serialization define classes to serialize without the property names (as if they were an array)
View 1 RepliesFor example there are 2 movieclips on the stage, Parent and Child. I want to be able to drag the parent clip around with the MouseDown event.I also want an event to fire on the MouseClick event on the Child clip. But i only want this MouseClick to happen the user clicks on the Child clip, and not when the MouseUp event fires after the user has finished dragging?Is there something that defines where the mouseup has originated in the Childs MouseClick event handler?
View 2 RepliesMy flash client connects to my server (running locally). Some of the files that it requests are requested over SSL.The certificate is signed for "localhost".I originally got around the "un-trusted certificate" error by adding my localhost certificate to my Windows trusted root store. But now I'm stuck.To allow me to test my SWF on different computers on the same network, I've changed the string "localhost" to my computer's IP address.However, now when I try to load the file through https, flash detects that "192.168.1.68" is actually "localhost" and thinks we're being MITM'd.Now, considering I develop on my laptop and the laptop interchanges between atleast 2 different wireless routers a day - usually 5 or 6 - you can imagine my IP changes rather a lot. This means it's not really feesable to re-create certificates over and over again.

with my car, i am trying to make it so it can pass right through a MC, but just slow down. I type speed -= 5; but the car just bounces on the bound box of the other MC. How can i get it to not hit the bound box and only the actual object, AND make it pass through the object.
View 1 RepliesI have a solid movie clip that is overlayed with a grid movie clip. Actually they are sprites. The solid sprite underneath has a MOUSE_OVER event. I have set mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on the grid sprite to false so that it receives no events. The problem is that when I go over a grid line the sprite underneate still receives the MOUSE_OUT and then the MOUSE_OVER event again. Is there anyway to make the grid completely transparent to the mouse so that it won't trigger the MOUSE_OUT and MOUSE_OVEr events for the sprite underneath over and over?
View 2 RepliesI am in the process of making an animation that takes text from an XML document and displays it in a scrollPane. I had this working when I was just using string variables. Now with XML it seems to ignore the new line characters. I have looked all over but nothing is working. Now that I think about it, special cahracters like "%3C" are not working.

I have a java class which has one field with getter and setter, and a second pair of getter and setter that access this field in another way:
public class NullAbleId {
private static final int NULL_ID = -1;
private int internalId;
[Code]....
(the reason for this construction is that I want to build a way to hande Nullable Intergers)
On the Flash/Flex client side, I have a Class with two properties: id and internalId (the id properties are only for testing, at the end they should return the internalId value)
BlazeDS seams to transfer both values: id and internalId, because both have a complete getter setter pair. I want Blaze not to transfer id, only internalId should be transferred.
