ActionScript 3.0 :: Knowing When To Trigger Scrolling?
Oct 23, 2009
I have a dynamic input textfield and I have a scrollbar successfully scrolling the text. As soon as the textfield receives focus the scrollbar tweens into position. I would like to have the scrollbar tween in only when it is needed, which of course would be when the texfield has one more character than it can display in the viewable area. Is there some sort of event I should be listening for that would tell me that the textfield has grown past the viewable area?

I'm using AS3, loading external text into a text box. Let's say the text box shows 20 lines of text. Is there a way to trigger some kind of action, for example, changing an image on the stage if the user scrolls the text and line 30 appears in the textbox? Kind of like a cue point for scrolling text.

I have an application done in flash- on the main Scene Level, everything has only one frame but I have MCs and the like that are triggered by actionscript.There are quite a few nested functions on the main actions layer as well as an "onEnterFrame" function that reloads XML data in the background, etc... but that is not the problem.
The problem is, that at one point, I am calling a few MCs that kind of close up a section of the page like blinds- and then I want a text to appear ontop of that now closed area... but if I just write...
Code:
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT1.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TimelineFader.BlendeT2.gotoAndPlay(2);
_root.TextAboveTimeline.theMessage_txt._visible = true;
...it all happens simultaneously, of course.I guess I could check for "BlendeT1"'s (or T2's) current frame (since it's an MC)... but how do I wait while that MC runs / until it reached a certain frame? How can I keep the rest of the actionscript in the main function from continuing?

One can easily remove a listener like so: circle.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, maskSquare); BUT, is it possible to remove a listener (or preferable ALL listeners) from an object WITHOUT knowing the function that the event is tied to?[code]

First shortly about how my site works: When a link is clicked it checks if something is already displayed in either the Left or Right side of the screen (the website looks like a book, so I have a left page I want to display information on and a right page). If there is already something showing it hides it and displays the new object, together with this it enables all the buttons within that object (I have separate functions to set up each object).
An example of such an EventListener would be:
pathTo.Button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function():void {showText(side, object)});
What I'm trying to do is to remove all the previous set EventListeners without having to create separate functions for removing the links inside every object as well.
How do I remove all EventListeners on all objects inside another object? The only variable I want to store is the object containing everything. There are however not always EventListeners within the objects.

I was just wondering if it was possible to get a reference to a function without knowing its name until runtime, in a similar way as getattr() can be used in python?
In python you can use it like this:

I'm trying to use the BitmapData.draw() method on a sprite which I create through my own external class, but all I was getting was white. Finally figured out that it was taking a half a second or so for the sprite to pop up on the stage, and the draw method was apparently "pixelizing" it before it was drawn.
So my question is, how does one know when a non-loaded object is "ready"? Do I need to add my own event sent from the end of the external constructor code? I don't want to modify the class just to snap a picture of it. Waiting an arbitrary amount of time with a timer seems wasteful too.
Code: Select allvar bc:BarChart = new BarChart(500, 300);
addChild(bc);}
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(500, 300);

Lets say I have a customMovieClip. I sometimes draw an ellipse with customMovieClip.graphics and sometimes a rectangle. Now I want to know what was the shape ( ellipse/rect) that was created using a particular graphics object. Doing this would enable me to pinpoint what exactly to do with that customMovieClip() instance.

I have a list of images, and without scanning through each pixel in each image, I want to find out if the image contains transparency (at least one non-opaque pixel).Is there a shortcut to do this (like a property of bitmapData object) rather than looping through the pixels?

I saw this question a few times here and there but it never had a satisfying answer... It may be that there really is no elegant way to solve this (Polling for change in ENTER_FRAME is really bad!) but I've got to ask one last time.
I'm a Flex developer but it doesn't really matter in this case.
I would like to know when an object's global x/y was modified (or its transform's concatenated matrix's tx/ty, same thing), maybe because an indirect parent somewhere moved, etc.In particular, I have the object's gran gran gran parent which gets its scrollrect changed.

Say you have a class Parent, which has a property childArray:Array. In this array, we will register several instances of the class Child. Is there an easy way for a child to know which position in the array it currently has? I know I could just pass the index number into the child as I register them, but if a child were to be deleted from the array, all children past the deleted childs index would need to have their indexes updatedl. While this is of course not a huge task, I just have this feeling it should be a better and more dynamic solution.

I am trying to find an object in the display list. All that is known, is the name of the class. I recursively iterate through every child in the display list to find my object's instance, and unfortunately everything was instantiated at runtime and was given a generic instance name. This videoplayer has around 300 children(ugh), and through trial and error I found my instance I need to get a hold of, instance60. Now it would be fine by using just the instance name, but the thought of it being called a different instance name would send this program into insanity.

i have a tree component that dispatches an itemOpen event. When the black triangle next to the yellow folder is clicked, that folder opens to expose its children.
Is there anyway to know the index of the open folder? there is a rowIndex property in the target property of the openItem event that stores the index but it is not accessible.

The code runs fine, but the problem I'm having is that the text box that is suppose to go onto of my answer buttons is behind the button itself... however, if I change two lines of code around, the answer validation code doesn't pick up the which answer was clicked (it returns undefined). This is infuriating!Look for the line "//INSERT HERE." If I take the line, "var answerField:TextField = createText(answer,answerFormat,answerSprite,0,0,450);" and put it there instead, it returns the right answers (doesn't return undefined), but I can no longer see the text. I've included the createText function as well.
