Is it possible to act of the changed value of a dynamic textbox using AS3? I'm using the code which I believe is right (it's not producing errors), but it just won't work. Here's the code:
Code:
Code:
function moveHolderO(evt:Event):void{

i was using AS2 i have main flash movie in this main movie have a little animation after doubleclick i was created a dynamic textbox opens Tween 1 - and in this Tween 1 i have the dynamic texbox if this textbox copy to main timeline shows it perfectly text from xml only in this movie clip [and Tween]- cant show text
View 3 RepliesThe textfield is being updated as a user clicks the buttons of a sprite array menu, so that the label names of timeline frames appear in the field. However, I want to be able to click these labelnames also, as they appear in this textfield. The textfield is placed just to the right of the menu, to offer shortcuts to visited menu items. I am not trying to populate a textfield with ton of text in authortime, and then clicking some of it - That is not what I am trying to do.

View 3 RepliesI've got a movieclip on frame 1. Frame 1 has a stop action on it as well. The movieclip plays and I would like the main timeline to go on to frame 2. This movie clip is an instance that is going to be reused many times. As this is the case, I don't want to hard-code a gotoandplay within the movieclip. Is there some sort of AS that I can place on the main timeline to act as a listener to detect when the movieclip has finished and then to start playing the main timeline?
View 9 RepliesCan flash player listen to php requests (without specifying from which php file the requests are arriving ?)
In other words, I need a listener for php events. Maybe with the help of javascript?
trying to use some code I have used in the past to pass args through an event listener. This is what I am doing, using an inline function. I dont completely understand how it all works, but know that in one open FLA it works and in the other it does not. The error thrown is #1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property spotlightBox through a reference with static type..." SpotlightBox is the name of the function I'm trying to pass data to.
The main difference in the two FLA's is that, in the broken one, it's constructed inside a for loop. My work deadline is in tomorrow and I am stuck. This is being used inside a with block for each sprite:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function onRoll_Over(e:Event) { spotlightBox(e, new Array("5"))});
And here is the function:
function spotlightBox(e:Event, arg:Array):void{ trace(arg[0]);
}
I want to have a main logic class that listens for dispatched events from an assortment of other classes.
for instance: i have a parent Map class that contains X instances of a State class. When the user clicks on a State class, i want to dispatch an event CLICKED along with the name of the state.
now this Logic class will see this new event and process the name of the state and perform some other logic stuff. no matter what i try i can only get it to work where the State class listens for its own Dispatched event. Which to me seems a waste, i could have just manually called the function.
I have read so many tutorials online about custom events/ dispatching and they are being used in a basic one class example.
what the most efficient method is for listening for events up and down a string of parents and children? Example:
(these are parents from left to right) Main Sprite -> Child A -> Child B -> Child C
Child C fires and Event - what's the best way to have Main Sprite listen for it?
1) Make Child B and C "public" so Main Sprite can attach a listener all the way down on C (_childA._childB._childC.addEventListener)
2) Child C's event triggers a Child B event that triggers a Child A event that Main Sprite listens for
I have a movieclip that is dynamically loaded into another movieclip. I would like to listen for the innermost movieclip's ending so that I can then have an animation occur. Is there an event listener that listens for the end of a movieclip?

I have two classes a Player class and a Bullet class.
In my Player class I'm dispatching an event(to fire a bullet) when the SPACE bar is pressed.
Assuming I already have an Event Class named FireEvent.
How would I write my code to listen for that event dispatch in my Bullet class in order to create a function to fire the bullet?

I have a parent swf and eight child swfs. The child swfs are loaded into an array at runtime on the parent swf using a Loader. I have buttons and functions on and in the parent swf to change out the child swfs. This all works just fine but here is my issue. On each of the child swfs I have buttons that need to call the functions in the main swf to change out the child swfs. The program is an interactive virtual tour and I want to be able to click on a door and have the next room's swf displayed in the parent swf. I'm trying to do this by dispatching an event from the child swf
ActionScript Code:
mainPanorama.bedDoor.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dispatchBedroom);
function dispatchBedroom(e:Event):void {
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadBedrooms"))
}
that needs to be heard by the parent swf and the appropriate function called.
ActionScript Code:
objectsArray.addEventListener("loadBedrooms", loadBedroom);
function loadBedroom(e:Event):void {
tourNum = 5;
unloadData(tourNum);
}
So far this specific code keeps telling me that addEventListener is not a function. I've tried quite a few variants of stage, this, and parent combinations in place of objectsArray but unfortunately something in the parent swf is not hearing the event dispatch.
I have the Main class that imports my urlValidator class.My urlValidator class imports com.usual.swfaddress and thanks to the SWFAdressEvent fires the function dealing with the validation of the url.In some other class myMenu (child of the Main but on the other branch) I need to listen for the event of validation being completed.I'm importing myEvent (custom event) class to urlValidator and when the validation is complete I'm triggering the dispatchEvent.At the same time I'm importing the myEvent to myMenu class and trying to listen when the myEvent was dispatched (from urlValidator).

View 4 RepliesI am an AS3 coder, but I've been given project that needs to be done in AS2, and am having trouble understanding the events model. Inside my controller movie clip, I have a draggable movie clip that dispatches an event when it reaches a point. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my controller to properly listen to the event.
The dragger dispatches the event as follows:
Code:
var eventObject:Object = {target:this, type:'Snapped'};
dispatchEvent(eventObject);
Controller script--the complete handler never executes

Basically I've build a small class that can be imported anywhere in the program and one of it's public methods dispatch a listener, which as I understand can be received anywhere. Is that correct? In my project I've got a menu which slides in and out. It's movement can be triggered mainly bu the buttons on the menu, but I also want to be able to controll it's movement from various places in the program. So i.e. it can slide in or out when something completely unrelated has been clicked. So I've got a class "SlidingPanel" and one of its children is class "SlidingPanelNavigation". SlidingPanelNavigation uses the class that only dispatches the Event, which should be listened in class "SlidingPanel" and the problem is - it doesn't.
My main class that holds the whole menu together:
Code:
package com.zeeto.menu {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
public class SlidingPanel extends MovieClip {
private var navigation :SlidingPanelNavigation;
[Code] .....
Why the SlidingPanel.slideMenu() isn't fired?
I'm creating a history timeline and I would like to make sure that when the dragger on the scrollbar is on a certain time period, the movieclip is on that time period as well.

The issue is this, in action script based project, when I instantiate the eventmap class(this is in mxml file only) and keep it in top and fireup an event, instantiated eventmap is not listening to event fired up from action script class.
