ActionScript 3.0 :: Interface Elements - Pass Events Between Classes
Apr 5, 2010
There are many tutes on the web on how to make interface elements, such as drop down menus, or accordion menus. The example Menu Class includes all the event listeners and functions. It invariably ends with the CLICK event function tracing some comment so you know it works. But no information on how to implement the Menu Class. So say you have a Main Document Class that instantiates a Menu Class. How can you pass the CLICK event back to the Main Document Class to do something with it? As far as I can see, the Menu Class can build the menu but all the listeners and functions for it have to reside in the Main Document Class. Or do you have to build a custom Class that extends the Event Class?

I am having trouble figuring out how to implement TweenLite with an xml menu (jumpeye component) Im using actionscript 2 (as I figure Flash player 8 is stilll more widely used) and Im doing it in Flash CS4 with TweenLiteI have a rectangle (glass_mc) on my stage that acts as my main "window" with the menu off to one side, and both sit over a background Movieclip (stage_mc). the buttons load different external swfs into a moviecliploader. so far so good. But what I would like to do next is where I get hung up.when a button is pressed I would like to pass parameters that are stored in the xml file to the different movieclips throughout the interface.
I would like to be able to resize glass_mc to the xml specified values of height, width, alpha and color, and at the same time tween the tint of the stage_mc (again, specified in the xml). The way the component works is I have to call a function from the fla to make this all happen. Im not sure how to get TweenLite to communicate with the xml file though. or rather, Im not sure how to load the xml variables into a function that can then be read by the tween. Im stumped and I cant find any tutorials online about how to do this (Im using actionscript 2.0)

I have to use many custom classes for a project, each class includes lots of elements(methods,properties) and I generally forget their names when coding. Is there any editor which I can enumarate the elements of my classes after pressing "." like Flash's built in classes?

I'm currently trying to make an application and am rather new with AS3. What I'm trying to do is hide a few elements (buttons, movieclips, etc) when the flash file/swf file loads, or at least set their visible = false untill another button is clicked to turn it visible = true.

I have array with 5 boxes. I show this boxes on the stage + showing it random. Now I want add events for this boxes. For example if I click to box1 I must go to 'p4', if I click to any other boxes I must go to 'p3'.
I try to make the same like for buttons, but its not working:
classNames[0].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goCorrect);
function goCorrect(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace("p4");
gotoAndStop('p4');

I am looking for a simple and straightfoward example of how I can pass the value of a variable into flash using javascript.Specifically, I'd like to use javascript to pass the filename of an external video file that I would like to load into my flash movie.I'd also like to call a function in the SWF that plays the movie once the filename as been passed to the flash movie.External Inferface looks like the way to goI've found a few decent AS2.0 examples, but converting them to AS3.0 has proven difficult and many of the examples are much too complex for what I am trying to do.

How can I do that?Imagine I have a movie clip named redBox_mc on the stage.I want to change it`s alpha after I get my xml loaded.(or any other action in subclass)
Main class:
package src{

I found at this Adobe tutorial a nice "RemoteService" class that creates a RemoteObject and contains the functions for handling the result and fault events. If I wanted to use this approach, how could I pass the data from the result handler to interfaces that modules from the main application could use?
I could put the RemoteService/RemoteObject in the modules, but (in my opinion- and I could be wrong) the best design seems to be using the remote calls in the main app and passing the data along to the modules.

Im trying to dispatch and event from an XML class.dispatchEvent(new Event (XMLClass.INDEX_CHANGED));and catch it in the display class [code]I know that im missing something because the application works and the function runs but its not dispatching the event the event or maybe it's not catching the event in the display class, even though everything else is working and im not gettin' any errors.

I have a custom event class public class FFTDrawEvent extends Event {
public static const DRAW_EVENT:String = "drawEvent";
private var _param:Array = new Array();
public function FFTDrawEvent(type:String, __param:Array, bubbles:Boolean=true, cancelable:Boolean=false) {
_param = __param;
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
[Code]...
Both class (Dispatcher & Listener) are Child class of a MXML application. Also listen to the event in the parent MXML application doens't work. Listen to the event in the dispatching class itself somehow works.
I have to feeling that the EventDispatcher class is not the right one to dispatch events to a mxml application or respectivly AS classes, which extend/inherent from a MXML component class.

I want to send the contents of a variable to a class where it can be used in its functions. Since I have no experience with object orientated programming what so ever I tried to break it down into real simple code so I can understand better what's going on and how I can implement it in my main code.I made a test file and a test class, basicly I just want to give a variable contents in my main code, then send the variable to the class so the class can trace it. But no matter how I try it i always get "Testoop.as, Line 6 1120: Access of undefined property test.Here is the code:
so this is the FLA:
import Testoop;
var test:String;

I've traditionally all my as3 code in one included .as file, not as packages / class files, but I'm trying to make that transition. I'm a little confused about how to pass information back and forth among class files though. For example, what I'm trying to make is a sort of node diagram where clicking on a certain node will sprout out its child nodes, and clicking on a child node will sprout out its children, etc. I have a main class, Main.as, which I was going to make parse an XML document and store an array of all the relevant data for each node (things like a title, link, etc). Then I have a class file called Node.as which actually builds the node, adds it to the stage, and sets up its listeners and the motion tweens.
My question is - if all the information for the nodes is stored in Main.as, but the click handling is done in Node.as, how does Node.as know what attributes to assign to each added node (i.e., how does it access the array from Main.as to assign properties to the clips created)?[code]...

ive written a class to control my content panels on my site. They work well! Currently they controll all the positioning perfectly on there own. What I am having trouble with, is how do i pass variables into my classes. For instance, my main content panel, has variables in the class: public var contentState:Number; Now, what I would like to do, is have movieClips on my stage, or 'buttons' that will be able to change 'contentState' within my class.How do i go about passing these variables?[code]

So I'm working on a problem where I would like to stop a drag if the mouse button is released outside of the player window. In theory I should be able to use mouse_leave and mouse_up events, however these seem to be broken on Firefox and IE and dont fire at all outside of the browser. (Seems to work fine on Chrome and Macs...)
Anyway abandoning this approach I am trying to have a layer which sits on top of everything the size of the player and then detect roll_out on this.However I need a way to pass on all other mouse events to objects below it. Is this possible?

I just started to use classes in AS3. I stuck to event handling between classes. That's what I want to do, but don't know how to do it:
1) set up event listener in a child class
2) when this event in the child class is triggered, the child class, the parent class and several other child classes respond to the event.
