Recently noticed this, if i add an event listener somePerent.target.addEvent() and then move that target to someOtherParent.addChild(somePerent.target) the listener is lost, is there a way to avoid it?

I am new to flash & working on my first swf file for a website.Problem is I loose image quality after publishing & uploading to the website.Ive located the publish setting for jpegs & changed this to 100% but problem still exists.When I do publish preview with the flash program it looks fine.
View 10 RepliesI remember i realised this ages ago, but never really needed anything with it till now. I think it was after flash mx that imported images, when rotated or scaled loose quality horribly.

Code: Select allmyScrollPane.setStyle("borderColor","0xFFFFFF");

I have this menu_mc appearing on stage on RollOver.Inside this menu_mc are 5 other mcs that are also supposed to react on rollOver.But : the rollOver works only on the menu_mc, the rollOver on the nested mcs no. I put all the script on the main stage, accessing my nested mcs with the "insert target path".I tried also to put the script of the nested mcs inside the menu_mc movie clip, but it does not respond.What do I do wrong ?

View 5 RepliesI am playing with papervision and is creating a carousel. For that I have used a tutorial on [url].., and hey - It works just fine.
But, i want to add the carousel within a holder(movieclip), so i have created a movieclip, placed it on the stage, and given it an instance name. Also, i have exported it for actionscript.
So, now instead of doing scene.addChild(plane); i tried to do planeHolder.addChild(plane); and that did not work out too well.
I'm working on a game that lets objects of the same name spawn everytime the timer triggers (Which is every 5 seconds). The objects that spawn on the stage get pushed into an array, so I can let them each fall down by using the ENTER_FRAME function. Here's a piece of the code:
Code:
timer = new Timer(5000, 6);
timer.start();
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTime);

I have been busy working on a small mini game, in which has several other mini games such as Memory. The script itself is working fine and the game works as it should but the problem with it is, whenever I decide to go to a new frame (and end the game before someone has really found all the answers) the cards stay, so they are visible on the other frames aswell.
Now I have been trying to remove all the childs whenever its on a new frame but I just can't get it to work, I hope someone on the Flashkit forums is able to help me out with this.
Below is the script I am using:

View 1 RepliesI have a portfolio gallery that I can browse. I click on a thumb and it opens an image. Then, if I want, I can "zoom it", by loading a larger image, that is not necessary equal.At the first time I "zoom" an image it all looks fine. I create a black rectangle, a loader and add them to stage covering everything.When I'm done seeing the image, I click on any off them and supposelly they are removed. They even desappear from stage.
But when I try again with a diferent image the same code, it actually loads the previous image and square, plus the nem desired items.This errors increments everytime I click and zoom. All of the previous appear and I have to close them again.

Image's paths are in the xml file. I make a loop to load images to the Display List.
So if i have a loop:
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:int=0;i<xmlList.length();i++)[code]....
after it is done i would have access only to the last imageLoader instance. How to get access to the rest of images, which were added to the Display List with the same name "imageLoader".I tried to call it with the imageLoader.name property,but surely i do something wrong, as only errors appear in the output panel.
I've got a MovieClip which has bitmaps pasted onto it via AS3. These bitmaps are transformed and are sometimes over each others with transparency.So I would like to the grab the whole MovieClip as it is and make it a completely new bitmap. Problem is:
ActionScript Code:
bitmapData.draw(mc) //does NOT work in this case (nothing shows)
bitmapData.draw(mc.getChildAt(0)) // works, but it doesn't save the childs properties such as x,y coordinates and transparency
What I need is basicly a function such as "Image -> Apply Image" in photoshop.Except that it only copies a movieclip and not whole stage.
how can i make all mcs (a bunch of them) inside another mc, to gotoAndPlay in a random frame without having to adress each one of them by theyr instance names?
wild guess: a for loop?
I have problem with clearing memory in my game because of eventListeners, garbage collector not clear my objects with events, because events points them when objects are removed from scene. Is there any way to clear events connected to object and his childs? (game create a lot of objects and put diferent listeners if necessary, but because there are also libraries which are created by other programmers I cant just make list of events to clear) Even clar whole scene will be sutable for me if it will destroy all events, because its big problem and game close to beta -.- the only thing I cant do is close flash window
