ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Events Only Work On Initial Load, Not After Navigation?
May 19, 2011
I am having an issue with some mouse events I have. If you go here you can see what I mean: [URL] When you mouse over one of the thumbnail images, a title pops up. If you click one of the thumbnails, the group shifts to the right. (This is making room for what I'm working on right now, it's not just random :P) If you then navigate to "About" or "Contact" then back to "Works" neither the mouseovers nor the clicking on the thumbnails works.
That middle section is one object called "images" with three frames, each labeled and then navigated to inside the buttons with gotoAndStop(frame#).
Here is my code for the buttons and mouseovers:
Code:
//Navigation links
var navTween:Tween
nav.about.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseClick);
[Code]...

I have some code that gets fired on these mouse events:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, function(e:MouseEvent) { ...
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, function(e:MouseEvent) { ...
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, function(e:MouseEvent) { ...
They all work in all browsers, except for Chrome, where MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT trigger the events, but MOUSE_UP does not trigger the event. I also tried CLICK, same story.I would suspect that there is some sort of interfering layer or offset in the Chrome rendering, but then wouldn't the other mouse events not register as well?

I have an external .swf that I'm loading into a main one. The external one has actionscripting which reacts to the mouse. When exported on it's own, the scripting works fine but when loaded into the main one, nothing works. There are no references to the _root in the external swf either.

I am trying to capture mouse events in flash while the mouse is being held down. The intention is to keep reciving events as long as the mouse is pressed, even if the cursor leaves the flash element. That's the behavior I get on all browsers other than IE, which only fires events while the cursor is inside the stage.
I'm pretty sure I've seen such "well behaved" flash applets work in IE before.

I have a custom UIComponent that is basically just this:
public class WhiteboardUIComponent extends UIComponent
{
public function WhiteboardUIComponent() {
super();
[Code]....
This is absolutely the simplest that I could make the example. The s:View is gobbling up my mouse events - if I add a handler in the MXML to the View, I get mouse events just fine. When adding a handler programmatically in my subclass' constructor, I get nothing. I thought maybe the layout was wrong, so I explicitly set the dimensions of my UIComponent and stuck it in a border just to be sure it was where it was supposed to be - same deal.

I have two movieclips on the stage mc1 and mc2,the navigation for mc2 and mc1 is in mc1 as as3 and MovieClips suddenly now that I've added some tabs into mc2 (new layer, no instance names yet) the navigation code in mc1 has stopped working,if I change the initial stop command to a later frame in mc1 I can navigate back to the first frame and then to one other place in the menu but after moving away from the first frame I can't seem to get any of the buttons to work, its only if the stop command is on a later page that those buttons will workon the main timeline i'm using;
ActionScript Code:
stop();
mc1.stop();

I'm a complete newbie to AS3 but I've recently been thrown in at the deep end I'm trying to teach myself (I'm a designer mainly, for my sins!).
I'm putting together a UI which includes a demo frame whereby I want to load a speech bubble image if the user hovers the mouse over a particular button.
I've bought various reference books and browsed through the forums, but I can't find any examples of how to do this (seemingly) simple task. I've found some examples of drawing a rectangle and other methods, but nothing for loading/unloading images.[code]...

Are there suggestions for code that will essentially listen for (or test) for mouse clicks on 3 separate buttons. Once all the correct 3 buttons have been released, I want a to trigger a final event(load a 4th movie clip). I can't stop thinking in terms of IF (all event 1 + event 2 + event 3) THEN load movie. But I know that isn't AS3 way to do it, any better understand way to do it with event listeners (but not too complicated!)

I need some help? Anyone experience this problem before with IE8 FLASH bug? Can not get this to work on all subsequent refresh to the flash. I have a flash piece which simply renders only on the first initial load. After that, if i refresh or visit the page, it does not load correctly. It seems I am having this problem with the swf only on subsequent loading of the page or whenever a refresh happens.

Right now all the sounds (78 of them) on my guitar play using the roll_over event but that doesn't give the user much control over what sound is played.
The actionscript im using to play my sounds is this;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++){
buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonRolledOver);
}
[Code]....
What i want to do is only play a sound with the roll_over event when the left click is held down.

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.

I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).

...How do you do this? I'm gunning for <65 kb and need to figure out if my published swf will meet this goal. Is there a window or something (maybe a 3rd party tool) to let me know what the initial download size of my swf is?

I have a small snippet of code which stretches the swf to the size of the window... but it's only working if the window is resize and not on the initial load? I can't work out what's gone wrong?!

I have a movie clip I am using as a button (instance name btn1) and I added an event listener to it (using the following line): btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, animate1); the function "animate1" triggers some small animation when the mouse is over the movieclip. my problem is that the animation is triggered both on mouse over and mouse out events.

It has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)

I have a menu drawer at the edge of the screen that shows when the user rolls the mouse over it, but if the user overshoots it an moves the cursor slightly outside the browser window this is unfortunenatly registered as a mouse out.
I want to stop this by using event.MOUSE_LEAVE, but i need to use it as a condition not to triger a "leaveHandler".

I am looking to provide some UI functionality using the mouse- I have two distinct UI events to be achieved via mouse
a) change value
b) delete object
I don't seem to have sufficient mouseclick events for both. I am avoiding using the right click as it has some default options(whose signing off will affect the whole project- not just this). I have mouse click used for change value- how do I use the doubleclick as the single-click events seems to get invoked prior?

I am new to Flash CS4 so I may be doing something stupid. I created my assests on Photoshop CS4 and imported them into flash as flash layers. I followed a training video by Paul Trani about creating a first website. I have several pages in my site, home, about, contact, photos etc. I created navigation buttons for the homepage and they work great. However on my other pages I created different buttons as they are in a different place and have some additional buttons that the homepage does not have (except the contact page has common buttons to the homepage). I put the homepage and second page (contact) actions on frame 1. I then created a new keyframe at frame 20 where the rest of the pages uses common buttons. I then changed the language in the action script so as not to conflict with the frame 1 action script. I had trouble making the second group of buttons work so I created a new actions layer (actions2) and they work, except.
Well my homepage buttons work, all of them. I can even go to my contact page (which share the same buttons with the homepage) and then go back to the home page. I can also go from the homepage to the other pages and those buttons work... UNTIL I go back to the home page or to the contacts page (the pages that share buttons) then those buttons NO LONGER WORK??? It seems like once I committ myself to one group of pages (I consider myself having two groups of pages based on the sharing of buttons by each group) it disables the other group.

I had an idea for a navigation menu where I could press down a button and it would stay in its 'down' state. In addition it could be navigated by using the keypad and those buttons are used to call up xml images. Getting this to work has been more of a headache/challenge than I imagined. I'm fairly close, the code I have was suggested to me and it is getting more and more untidy the more I try to craft it to my needs. The problem I have right now is that when the mouse clicks outside of a button, it reloads the image (in this case firstImage.)
Code:
_root.onEnterFrame function() {
jms_btn.onPress = function() {

Is it possible to make a navigation bar appear at the bottom screen of a flash movie only when the user moves the mouse. And also make it disappear after 5 seconds if the mouse doesn't move.I suppose each button on the bar need to be visible on mouse event and then invisible after 5 seconds if mouse doesn't move.

I'm trying to create a flash photography website. I have four navigation buttons on the main page. Home, portfolio, features and contact. The feature section has more navigation buttons that should take me to individual galleries. So now i can navigate to the features section, but cant go to any specific gallery. I wrote an addEventListener code for the sub gallery buttons, but i'm getting the error "1120:access of undefined property stilllife". Still life is one of the buttons in the sub gallery. I'm getting the same error for all the buttons in the sub gallery. I've given an instance name for all the buttons so i dont know what the error means. I even tried calling a different funtion. when i test the movie, the whole thing keeps playing in a loop. ? I can paste the code here if anybody wants to look into it.

I've been doing flash for a while, but I've never been good at coding. I'm trying to make a navigation bar for a website that follows the path of a mouse. Some examples are below: [URL] I'm looking to create something similar, however instead of having a bar slide through, I think I want an animated mask.
I want to set a default background image behind the text of the buttons, and a mask that fades out ontop of the background layer but behind the text. For those who don't understand... imagine a flashlight being pointed at a wall in a pitch black room. The circular source of light gives light to the background.Different from the examples above, I need to figure out how to make it follow the mouse exactly, instead of jumping to the next button automatically? I also suck at masks, but I'll be able to look that up. Are they animatable, or should I use a layer that is semi transparent in a circular area?

I am constructing a navigation that uses mouse-tracking. I'd like for the object (the gray rectangle) to disappear when the mouse moves off of it.
I have the following actionscript on the movie clip:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.xChange = Math.round(_root._xmouse-this._x);
_root.xMove = Math.round(_root.xChange/5);
this._x += _root.xMove;
}
If you look at my reference, I'd like the gray arrowed-rectangle to only appear when the mouse is inside the lighter gray rectangle (the navigation bar). When a user mouses outside of that area, the gray arrowed-rectangle will disappear.Perhaps we have to set an area where the mouse will load the movie clip and an area that will unload the movie clip?
