Don't care about that squares that is inside the functions, I'm just using it as a example.I'd like that both eventlisteners when removed use the same onclick3 function, in the following code they recognize the onclick3 because it is outside of the eventlisteners. So, how can I remove the eventlisteners and both of them use the same onclick3 function?

I need both of them to use the same onclick function, and not 2.
I have a polymorphic situation that is thus...

i have to make a drag and drop thingy in actionscript 3.0. Now we had another actionscript project before and then i had some extra classes but most things i put in the main class and it was all working fine. Someone told me that i put too much in my main class and that i should make more classes like a class for every object you interact with. Dont know if hes right but he acted like he was.
Now back to the problem. I made a main class connected directly to my fla in its properties. Then i made another class for the game itself, cause maybe it needs an intro and other things so i want to separate them in their own classes and start them with the main class. now in the class for the game itself i want to be able to click an object with the mouse. I was just testing with a trace. When i click the object it only traces like 1/20 clicks i make, tryed alot of things, when i put the same code in the main class with stage.addEvent blabla it will respond every time but as soon as i try to put in the class for my game it only responds like 1/20 times i click. Wth?
Now i can put all my code in the main class again and make another 1000 line code with a couple of other small classes but this time i want to do it right so what am i doing wrong? Heres some code too
This is the main class dressUp is the game class, it doesnt do much just define the game class and change the mouse pointer.
EDIT: We work in a project group so another reason i want to make alot classes is so we can work on different classes separately. But i promised to have this done this weekend and there not so good in actionscript either.

I have created a simple game which is started by a start button in a Movieclip that opens at the beginning using the code :
var splashscreen:MovieClip = new Splash();
splashscreen.x = 0;splashscreen.y = 0;
addChild(splashscreen);
The splashscreen movieClip has its own code :
Play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playgame);
function playgame(e:Event):void{parent.removeChild(this); Play_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playgame)
}
When I run the game the splashscreen does load and then disappears when the Play button is pressed but none of the eventlisteners seem to work. The background moves, the enemy ships fire but I can't move the ship or fire using the keyboard. The game works perfectly well when I don't use the splashscreen at the start.
This is probably something very simple that I just can't seem to get to work. Basically I'm trying to use a variable to be called inside of an array instead of the actual array so a simple example would be
Code:
var people:Array = [john,tom,ann];
var selected = john;
trace(people[selected]);
I get an error everytime I try to use a variable in place of and actual element

The issue I am running across is this: I encoded and embedded a movie clip to act as the background. There are other animations that can and will loop, as the movie resets itself. But there are some elements that I only want to run once and not repeat once the embedded movie loops (link introductions, where objects fly in and transition into the button). How can I set the one time animations to fire just once, while keeping the embedded animation on a loop?

View 5 RepliesI'm a newbie at Flash...and have a main movie that I would like to load external movies into..for ease of modification of the different areas vice having one large swf.I'm using the loadMovieNum command to load the external swf's just fine. When I play the external swf's by themselves...they play once and stop. When they are loaded into the main movie...they loop.I've placed a "stop();" command at both the frame in the main movie...and also on the line directly after the loadMovideNum line.
View 3 RepliesI have many movieclips on stage, let's say 100.Rather than setting onRelease or OnPress function for each one, is there any way of looping through all the movie clips (maybe if they were called MC1 MC2 MC3 MC4 etc etc), using an array, to see which one was pressed and then say what should happen if so and so MC was pressed.
Depending on which MC is pressed a variable will be a different number... e.g. MC1 pressed means variableA = 1, MC1 pressed means variableA = 2, MC1 pressed means variableA = 3 etc
I just thought there would be a more intelligent solution than writing out this 100's of times: MC[numberOfMC].onPress = function() { do something };
I made a basic slideshow it's not interactive it just loops, each time it loops the preloader loops with it so you see it each time. How would I get rid of that preloader looping?

I'm using actionscript 2.0/CS4.
I have a stop action on the last frame of the last text movieclip that plays. And it seems to get hung up here. When I remove the stop action it just loops that movieclip and not the whole animation.
This is the code I'm using in the first frame of the main timeline.

And this is the code I'm using in the last frame of the main timeline:

I'm in the middle of building a website in Flash CS4 in Action Script 3.0 and (according my the tutorial I'm using) I need to access the "parameters" panel. The problem is I don't see it anywhere. I see "properties" and "filters" but to parameters. I've cycled through all the workspace presets but with no luck. How can I bring it up?? Also, even though I used the "stop();" code in the beginning of my actions frame my movie just keeps looping when I test it.
