I have to develop an application in flex. In that application an user can draw line while dragging the mouse. Then if he clicks on that line it should be selected. How to add mouse click event listener to a line object?
View 3 RepliesOk I have this 100% width/height Flash embedded and when the user moves the mouse I want to display a panel, which disappears after x seconds if there is no more mouse movement.
I think I need an addEventListener, but I am not sure MOUSE_MOVE is the correct one. When the mouse stops moving I need to start x seconds to hide the panel, so I think with a timer?

My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.
View 3 RepliesThis is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.
I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:

I have a map of items and I need to know when a mouse moves over the item. Should I add a event listener for mouse over and mouse out to each item (there may be a lot) or I should add mouse over and mouse out listeners to whole container and do some checking to detect whether the target has item on it or not? In the second way it would mean that the event would occur on entering each map tile in the container i would be listening. This seems a bit pointless, but I heard somewhere that I should add as little as possible.. So what should I do?
View 2 RepliesAlright, I've looked online at a bunch of different collision tutorials but they don't explain what I'm looking for. I want object A to hit object B and then execute a function via to a Event listener.
View 1 RepliesI was wondering if there is such a thing as a mouse over listener.So that it would execute code when the mouse rolls over(and maybe also execute code when the mouse moves away again)

I would like to have a movie to play when the mouse is over a button instead of when it is clicked. My script is now:

I am trying to essentially pass a string as a function name into an event listener, but I am not sure how to approach this. Is there a way to convert a string into a function?

Taking my first steps coding in AS3. So I have my main class which extends sprite and I put new mc's on top of that. Using addEventListener on any child MC's with MouseEvent.CLICK works fine, but I can't add it to the main sprite. How can I register all clicks on the screen?
View 0 RepliesCan I create a single event listener for all mouse events ?
my understanding is no because: what's happening is that each listener is checking for a string in an event and comparing it for a match against a list which is the listener.
stage.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clicSouris);
function clicSouris( pEvt:MouseEvent ):void { var positionX:Number=pEvt.stageX; var positionY:Number=pEvt.stageY;

what appens when I add an Event Listener to Object Event?
Following the logic with the display list in AS3, I thought only Classes who inherit flash.display.InteractiveObject could react from events coming from mouses (or keyboard).
I have a form that is being created at the point the user clicks on. The algorithm is checking to see if a form exists in the same spot- if it doesnt, new object is created, if it does- result is traced. If no objects are on the stage- a new object is added. For some reason in this code- I get no results for the Mouse_Down event on the form itself. Method being called in main timeline:

I have a movie clip being dynamically added to the stage via an AS3 linkage call:
gameOver_mc = new GameOver();
stage.addChild(gameOver_mc);
The movie loads as required.But when the movie has been added I want the user to be able to press spacebar and a function to run.So in the GameOver.as class I wrote the following:
Code:
package
{
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
[code]...
But as soon as the movie clip tries to load I get the error message: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I would have thought this would work fine. When I trace the statement in the Constructor function is works. Its only when I try to add an event listener that I get the problems. So am I not allowed to add event listeners from a dynamically loaded class?
I'm trying to add an event listener inside an object but it doesn't seem to work. other OO languages it makes sense for an object to be able to attach events etc itself rather than have some external action do it.Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Player extends MovieClip {

This gives an error "1120: Access of undefined property MouseEvent." suggesting that I don't have access to MouseEvent from within the instansiated object.What I can do is create an instance of the class from the Document Class for example and then do the following:
ActionScript Code:
newInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newInstance.mouseClick);
run event listener through dynamic object call

I am an experienced programmer, but an as3 OOP newbie. I am trying to FINALLY make the switch to authoring in OOP, but there is one hitch that I can't wrap my head aroFor my first use of OOP, I wanted to make a "Dialogue box" object that I could share among multiple applications. This consists of a rectangle graphic with two dynamic text fields and a "close" button.It seems that objects exist as ".as" files - but if I want to use graphics and textfields that I have created in the Flash UI, where do those go, and how do I refer to them? Do I have to make all my graphics programatically? Or do I have to include a copy of them in the library of every fla file that will be using my object?

I want to remove the appropriate child (e.currentTarget) and create a new child in its place with the next line, but it doesn't work. What do?
I'm curious, can I have more than one line (different styles) laying over each other, controlled by one mouse event? I hope that's clear....what i'm looking to do is add some depth to the line that is drawn by the user....this seems like it sould be the easiest if it is possible. I've tried duplicating the "line" object but whatever one is last in the script ends up on top by itself.

I'd like to animate a button when I put the mouse over it. I use mouse_over or roll_over events, ok. But what if I hide the button when I click it and then I show it again later without moving the mouse? The mouse stays over the button, but the button does not animate, as there is no out/over event: I have to move the mouse out and over again to see the animation.
How can I detect the mouse standing on a button without the out/over event?
When you click on the button something happens. However it seems redundant to me that in the declaration of myListenerFunction, the event object e of class MouseEvent, actually has to have its data type MouseEvent mentioned.

I'm drawing an arrow as a <s:Path> and I need to get notified when the mouse is over it. How can I do that?

I'm having issue where the titleBar event listener is override the buttons (i.e. close button) event listener. In my codes, i have a button called close button added to the titleBar. when i try to do the mouse over/out event listener for titleBar and close button, only the titleBar would react. It seems that the event listeners for titleBar are overriding the button event listeners. (Basically i want to change the mouse cursor icon when targeting the title bar and then different mouse cursor icon when targeting the close button)
