I'm tweening a couple of lines and then loading a loader. I want to wait for the tween to complete before I load in a swf file. The problem is that when I test my code, the tween is still in motion when my external swf file is loading.
ActionScript Code:
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

I programming a game and when i destroy an enemie, i wan't the game to create a textfield with the enemie's points value that moves and disapears after a while.So when the enemie is destroyed, i create the textfield and ad a tween. Then i ad an eventListener to the tween so the textfield is destroyed when the tween is completed.
Code:
var points:TextField = new TextField;
var tween:Tween = new Tween(points,"y",Strong.easeOut,points.y,points.y-30,0.5,true);tween.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,delete_txt);
addChild(points);
Then the function that deletes the textfield :
Code:
protected function delete_txt(e:Event)
{
removeChild(e.target.obj);e.target.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,delete_txt);
}
It does work most of the time but like once in 20-30 times the textfield doesn't disapear and just stays in the air. I placed a trace in the delete_txt function and the program doesn't seem to get to it when the bug occurs.I'm not getting any error.
How to use motion_finish. the animation i want to make is simple, there is a box on the stage and there are few balls at the top part. when i click on a ball i want the box to come under it and when this motion finishes i want the ball to drop into it. i can make them move at the same time but i can not figure out how to fire the ball animation only after the box is in its right position.[code]...

I'm using TweenMax to play a movieclip in reverse with a CLICK:
Code:
import gs.TweenMax;
mAboutGlow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mClickAbout);
function mClickAbout(e:MouseEvent):void {
TweenMax.to(mBoxContact, 1, {frame:1});
}
How would I use MOTION_FINISH (or equivalent) to trigger a gotoAndStop after the movieclip has reverted back to frame 1?
I have this in my constructor:

The problem is I get Error: Error #2094: Event dispatch recursion overflow. Why does removechild keep getting called if this.parent does not exist? Why doesn't removing event listeners work?

I am a high school teacher who is teaching Actionscript 3.0 for the first time. I am teaching my students how to create multiple scenes to understand actionscipt interactivity. The first scene has a button. The second scene has something happen when a key is pressed. The problem is that the second scene doesn't work. Flash doesn't even show the trace command that a key has been pressed. Keypresses work fine when done in the first scene, but when put in the second scene after a button has been pressed, it doesn't recognize the keypress event.

I have created a Custom Event, that is fired from a custom component. It should be catched in the main application to change the selectedindex of the viewstack.[code]
View 1 RepliesI'm using a progress bar component in a movie clip and this progress bar works loading an external movie clip. However, once the external clip is loaded, it seems the "complete" event is not registering with the object listener. This is what I have:
ActionScript Code:
this.createEmptyMovieClip("FOB", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
var progressBarListener:Object = new Object();[code].......
The code a little more complicated than this in that there is an array that stores some information and a setInterval command that calls the loadContent function loading each external movie clip. I can past the entire code if necessary.Also the progress bar component is set up as thus: in the main movie (root) there is a movie clip called progressBar. Within progressBar the component resides with a variant name of PB.For some reason, when the external clip is finished loaded, the progressBarListener doesn't seem to be called.

I have made a very simple custom event class and have it imported to the main timeline and another class. The problem is I'm not getting an error but it's also not working. Below explains my setup main timeline:

function eventHandler(evt:Operator1):void {

in another class I import the Operator1 class and dispatch the event using the following (from a button's press):

dispatchEvent(new Operator1('hello'));

I am trying to create what I believe to be a very simplerollover button that produces three buttons that pop up then clickon a button and gotoAndPlay a label. The rollover and pop up I havebeen able to do successfully - however the mouse CLICK event forthe buttons that pop up won't work. I know this should be simple -but I have been struggling with this for days. I am determined todo this using AS3 as I do not see the point in going backwards toAS2.
View 6 RepliesFor some reasons, my soundchannel event.sound_complete is not working. Basically, my class is to import sound into it and to allow use to change their volumes and the speedness of the sound.

I'm creating a project with a number of different sections. I've created a index menu with invisible buttons on that takes you to the different sections. This works fine. In each section I wonted a means to get back to this index, so created a index button that is present throughout each section. I've put the event handler in the actions layer on the same frame that the button instance is on (frame 15).

Yes, I do have a button handler that when I click on an icon on the screen, it brings the browser into fullscreen (not browser header). So, full screen mode works correctly. It's only the above FullSceenEvent that does not.
I am which requires few things like;
1. swf should play if client open it at his end (this will be detected by checking a text file which has variable on the local drive say "C") swf should preload if finds flashvars from HTML file on server by user 3. if both of the above conditions dosent work then swf should not play
I have succeeded some what in this. if i run the file without preloader it work fine. but when i add preloader to it something goes wrong.

I'm trying to do now is to make the application auto click on the first thumbnail,[code]I've been trying to google it and found that maybe I'll have to add an event listener to know when the thumbnail is actually being added to the stage, and just then click on it.I just found out that the code that Ascension Systems provided worked, but it didn't work at first because of a different error I had,the thing is, I'm working with the youtube API, FLVPlayback and such,And Each one of them is in a different movieclip,In the youtube movieclip I added this function:[code]I am setting the player as an object in the beginning of the script like so:var player:Object;

quick question regarding the TextEvent:LINK.It stopped working recently when I switched my interface and I'm not quite sure why or how to fix it.I have a movie clip which contains a text area and a scroll handler. 3 of these are added to my interface, although only 1 at a time is active in the display, depending on which tab you click.
All of that works fine, but once I change the chat object (textfield and scrollbar) in the display, it seems to stop working, and I'm not quite sure why. I'm not creating new instances all together, just adding and removing from a parent clip upon clicking different tabs.
what would be or could be causing this? As far as I can tell nothing is over or obstructing the clip containing the text field and scroll bar. The scroll bar actions work fine, which is next to the text field, however there seems to be no action going on as far as clicking links in the text field.
Edit - Textfield is selectable, I know they need to be for the event to work.
I have 7 images, 6 of which are hidden, and they're all stacked on top of one another. The Goal is to click the top one, make it disappear, and make the one below it appear. the subordinate layers need to be invisible so that the glow doesn't interrupt the glow above. Im not certain, but the imported images were converted to symbols as a Movie Clip, not a button, but i don't know if a button would still be able to maintain a layer filter...
Code:
//Create only one visible layer to avoid overlay problems (Indigo - Red)
Purple.visible = true;
Indigo.visible = false;
