It's relatively easy to find a solution to the problem of the eluding "onReleaseOutside" event in Actionscript 3.0. What is more difficult, is catching the original target object in the last event handler of a classic drag/drop event. A common implementation, provided by our beloved senoculor, is this:
[Code]....
we have following class
[Code]...
If you run these, you'll notice that the MXML-component can't hear the event. The question is simple, is there some way of getting the Event-metadata tag to work WITHOUT extending EventDispatcher? I would like to keep this class independent and use object composition as much as possible. And no, I don't want to use ActionScript addEventListener in the MXML-file. It doesn't tell the developer anything like good old Event metadata tag, and besides, that is not the point of this example. :)
We (AS3 coders) all know that one of the great things about the AS3 event model is that handlers are scoped to their containing objects. I'm writing an EventDispatcher for JavaScript, and trying to achieve the same effect.My question could be answered in a couple different ways:A: How does ActionScript 3 set scope within an event handler to the handler's container object, rather than to the event handler's caller (the IEventDispatcher on whom dispatchEvent() was invoked)?
View 1 RepliesI have 3 files.
main.fla
PHP Code:
import classes.LevelObj;
var newLevel:LevelObj = new LevelObj();
var levelListener:Object = new Object();
levelListener.onLoaded = function(oEvent:Object) {
[Code] .....
Now this runs great but in the loadLevel function of LevelObj.as, when I receive the event from the GBXML class that it has finished loading I want to call another function within the same class (LevelObj) to continue with further processing the XML data. What I make of it, is that I am still within the scope of the myListener object. Should I use a Delegate function here to get to the function within the LevelObj scope?And how about properties from the LevelObj scope? When doing a simple trace of some testVar I get undefined. Logical ofcourse because it is not within the same scope. But I am stuck here.
This is the part that should contain the call to the function..
PHP Code:
myListener.onLoaded = function(oEvent:Object):Void {
trace("LevelObj.XObj > "+oEvent.success);
if (oEvent.success) {
trace(testVar); //CALL FUNCTION HERE IN SCOPE OF LevelObj
} else {
I add this actionscript code on the first frame. Variables are loaded but. The question is below the code.
[Code]...
I have a Debug class I've written, and I'd like to include a static trace() method in there, unfortunately I have no idea how to then access global / top level trace as effectively I've blocked it with the local static scope.[code]

how to use a CSS file in a flash project.Unfortunately every time I get to the end of the instructions.I'm making a simple flash slideshow for a web site.It has three buttons at the bottom, numbered 1 - 3. the web site I'm building this for is already up and running, and has a CSS file implemented.I want to apply that CSS to the three buttons at the bottom.The numbers are never going to change, but I want the font face to be congruent with the rest of the site.I'm assuming the best way to handle future compatibility is to link it up with that CSS file.So far I have the numbers, and the text is set to dynamic, each number has an instance name.Or a link if it has been covered in an introductory level and my searches failed me.
View 1 RepliesI like to organisate a lobby. There you should be able to creat a room and join one. Inside this room you should be nearly independent from the lobby and have your own SharedObject etc. I am searching for a good Idea to deal with that. Google wasn't very helpful for me in that point. I would be glad if you got some ideas or links of some way to solve that

View 2 RepliesFirstly I feel this question is not a duplicate for : Easiest implementation of onReleaseOutside in AS3?
Now, the problem , I want to do some action when the mouse_down happened inside the stage, but the mouseup happened outside it. e.g check google finance charts, try dragging the change range divider and then make the drag such that your mouse exists the browser screen, and then do a mouse_up outside the browser, this will trigger some action inside the stage , i.e make the range stick to the position it was, when the mouse exited the window.)
I have "sq_mc" and "status_txt" on Stage.
I am using equivalent of onReleaseOutside which is: this.stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
It works fine. but when I open this SWF in another SWF it doesn't work.. !!
when I press mouse on sq_mc and release outside, counter stops.
but I want to stop the counter when I press mouse on sq_mc and release outside where my SWF which contains sq_mc is in another SWF in browser.
in simple ways... if path of SWF is "browser >> SWF" it works.
but if path is "browser >> SWF1 >> SWF2 >> SWF3" it wont works. in this SWF1 is preloader, SWF2 is SWF loaded in preloader, SWF3 is SWF which contains sq_mc)
Code below:
Code:
var excelClickTimer:Timer;
var i:int;
this.stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler); //counter

I am building a timeline with a scrubber. The handle on the scrubber is a movie clip, and it was all working fine. But I didn't like that when you clicked on it, the hand icon would be glued to the left hand side of the handle. So I changed to registration of the handle file so that it would be in the middle. Now my 'onReleaseOutside' command quit working. If I set the registration back, the release command works again.
Basically, if I drag the handle all the way to a side and have the mouse continue past the flash file and release it, it wont register it has been released until I move the mouse back over the flash, which also moves the scrubber handle to _x location of the mouse for where ever it entered the swf. Is there something obvious I am missing? Or do I have to deal with an un-centered handle?
Trying to do circle circle collisions via math which I'm really having trouble with. One circle (player) just moves from keyboard. The ball reacts to the player. All the code shown is in my players class and I passed in a reference to the ball.
On my enterframe I have:
Code:
var xmov1 = xSpeed;
var ymov1 = ySpeed;
var xmov2 = ballRef.xSpeed;
var ymov2 = ballRef.ySpeed;

Perhaps I'll go with a box2d equivalent instead of trying out my own physics shenanigans.
I'd like to say this in the timeframe.
on (Press, ReleaseOutside) {}
Can I put it like this? The check syntax doesn't object, but does it work?
"my_button.onPress, onReleaseOutside = function()"
I'm trying to work out how to use states in my Flex app.I've created two states, State1 and Stage 2. Both are based off the base state. I've created a few visual elements for State1, and given each of them includeIn="State1".But when I'm in design mode and click on State2, these elements are still visible?If I try to delete them while State2 is selected, all that happens is RemoveChild is added to the State2 tag.
View 1 RepliesI haven't used the implements keyword before, and I've been trying to use it to implement the IEventDispatcher class to see if this would allow me to use addEventListener() in a class that extends Object (this is my understanding of what it's for - correct me if I'm wrong).My class is like this:
package
{
import flash.events.Event;

Within C# there're these things called indexers that do something similar to this:
public Something
{
public Object this[String s]

implementing and editing XML within Actionscript worked out swell - no problems so far..but the some_xml.send() seems to become a true nightmare!
Soit, here's an example:
I made a little "keep-in-touch" maillinglist, where visitors can leave their adress, click the "send" button - and let the administrator view the list on a secure page. XML suits fine for this job, i think.
Code:
on (press, keyPress "<Enter>") {
mailInput_xml = new XML();
mailInput_xml.ignoreWhite = true;[code]....

View 7 RepliesI'm pretty new to Flash, and having a few problems with a website I've had to design for my college ICT course.I built the site entirely in Flash, which went perfectly, then went on to build a scrolling image gallery banner for use on a gallery page of the site (assuming that it would be an easy task to chop the banner into the website).When I've tried importing the file to the stage/library it leaves all the images behind (as they are in the library of the first file) as well as the actionscript required to call the images; leaving me with just a new, blank layer.I've also tried copying the actionscript code into the website document and transferring the images from the gallery library to the website library, however, the gallery is written so that the stage is used in its entirety to show only a certain amount of images, meaning that the proportions of the banner are all wrong on the website file.Is there any way to integrate the flash file for the gallery into a confined area of the stage in the website document, or am I going to have to alter my designs so that the gallery goes entirely across the page (put up and shut up style).

View 1 RepliesHas anyone implemented a Set class in ActionScript? Specifically, a Set which is similar to Python's set implementation (unordered, unique, O(1) membership, etc). I'd like to be able to iterate over it using for each, perform operations like union and intersection and get a list of all the contained items... Which would all be possible to implement using Dictionary and Proxy, but I'd rather not reimplement it if someone's already done the heavy lifting.
