ActionScript 3.0 :: MouseDown Registered As MouseClick?

Nov 8, 2011

I have this movieClip container/holder with several movieClips inside.The container is draggable over the Y axis with TOUCH_BEGIN(same as MOUSE_DOWN) and stops dragging with TOUCH_END(same as MOUSE_UP).But the movieClips WITHIN this holder are clickable with TOUCH_TAP(or CLICK).

Here's the problem:When I start dragging with my finger(mouse) on one of the movieClips within the holder, and release with my finger(mouse) still on the movieClip (I have an ease added to the dragging so it's possible my finger(mouse) won't be on the movieClip when done dragging) it will fire the function of this movieClip.This is really annoying because what if you started dragging, and wanted to click the movieClip beneath the one your finger(mouse) is on right now.I already tried something with removing/adding eventListeners but that doesn't work.

ActionScript 3.0 :: MouseDown And MouseClick Event Conflicts - Get Ignored

Nov 5, 2008

I'm working on a custom AS visual component, based on UIComponent class. Inside this component, I have a button I programatically added. I set the mouseClick event of it, and it works fine. When the mouseClick for the button starts, it adds a listener for MouseDown on the stage. This is my problem. Once that MouseDown event listener is initiated it won't ever pay attention to the MouseClick listener of the button (which will
turn off the MouseDown listener!). I've tried setting the priority number when creating the listeners, but this is not working. My mouseClick listeners gets ignored.

ActionScript 3.0 :: MouseDown Versus MouseClick - Separating Two Events

Feb 16, 2009

I have a series of buttons on a page that I want the user to be able to re-arrange. To do this, I have a MOUSE_DOWN event listener that triggers a startDrag. However, these buttons are also essentially menu items so when user clicks on them, they should load the appropriate URL. I don't want them to act as menu buttons when a user is trying to move them about. I have three event listeners on each button, one for the MOUSE_DOWN and one for the CLICK event and one for MOUSE_UP but the function associated to the CLICK event also fires on the MOUSE_UP.

ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent Not Registered Properly?

Jul 18, 2011

I have a problem with a game I am working on which where keyboard events do not get registered properly. Here is my setup.I have four frames in the main FLA.1) main menu
2) instructions movie clilp3) game movie clip4) game over movie clipThe game is basically a racing game. Once the game class initiates (3rd frame) I create an instance of the car class and place it on the track. I listen to the keyboard KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN events in the car class. The problem is once I click the START button everything works fine except the keyboard event listeners. They do not get registered unless I click on the stage once. Here is the constructor and init() from my car class.

Javascript :: Flash - Functions Registered With ExternalInterface.addCallback Not Available?

Apr 14, 2010

I'm working on a Flash game that needs to call some Javascript on the page and get data back from it. Calling Javascript from Flash works. Calling the Flash functions from Javascript (often) doesn't. I'm using the Gaia framework.The swf is loaded in with SWFObjectThere's a button in the Flash file. On click, it uses ExternalInterface.call() to call a Javascript function. This works.The Javascript function calls a Flash function that was exposed with ExternalInterface.addCallback().Sometimes, the Javascript produces the following error: TypeError: myFlash.testCallback is not a function.

When the error happens, it affects all functions registered with addCallback(). Gaia and some of its included libraries use addCallback(), and calling those functions from Javascript also produces the TypeError.Waiting a long time before pressing the button in Flash doesn't solve the error.Having Flash re-try addCallback() periodically doesn't solve the errorWhen the error occurs, ExternalInterface.available = true and ExternalInterface.objectID contains the correct name for the Flash embed object.When the error occurs, document.getElementById('myflashcontent') correctly returns the Flash embed object.Edited to add:This issue shows up in Firefox 3.6, but not Chrome or IE8. I haven't tried older browsers.

I'm running the Debug version of the Flash player.My calls toExternalInterface.addCallback() are wrapped in a try...catch block. When the JS error occurs, the catch block is not triggered. It's a silent failure.The error occurs when testing on a webhost, with the swf loaded from the same server as the page it's on.
I set allowScriptAccess = always.Setting flash.system.Security.allowDomain("mydomain") doesn't fix the error.From my Page class:

public class MyPage extends AbstractPage
{

Flex :: What Keeps Locally Scoped Objects Alive When Listeners Are Registered

Jul 5, 2011

I see this type of apparent magic in all sorts of AS3 code, but here is a reduced example:

[Code]...

As indicated in the code comment, the loader variable should fall out of scope after the URLLoaderExample constructor. However... it still seems to be kept alive (not garbage collected) somewhere since the onComplete listener/handler is able to receive it cleanly. Where is the magic/hidden/global reference to loader that keeps it alive so that it can complete it's load operation, and then be handed to the onComplete listener/callback? Can this reference be seen somewhere?

To help with context... as a similar example, I know that the loader instance will have the onComplete listener registered. I also know I need to be careful to use removeEventListener at all times (?) to avoid potential memory leaks resulting from stranded listeners. What concerns me is that I don't understand where the magic loader reference is and whether (or when) I need to clean that up.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Draw A Box On MouseDown?

Jan 8, 2004

In a nutshell I'd like to be able to use the mouse to draw a box. But not draw the four sides. Instead, you could click and start dragging the mouse and a box would be drawn and grow as you drag. When you let go the box is there. But if you click and drag again somewhere else the first box disappears and the process starts over in the new mouse click position.

On the other hand, would it be better/easier/less processer intensive to just have a teeny box in a movie clip already on the screen and then have that change scale as the user clicks and drags?

Eventually this functionality would be built into a map. The map would be made up of tiles of a certain resolution. The box drawing comes in as a zoom tool. The user could click on the map, drag the mouse and draw a box. That would be the area they wanted to zoom in to. So I'm guessing I would use hitTest to find out which tiles the user drew the box on and then load higher resolution tiles.

But for now I just need to know how to get the box functionality!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Scaling Down A Movieclip On MOUSE_DOWN Calls A Registered ROLL_OUT Event Listener?

Apr 12, 2010

I'd like to simply scale down a movieclip (that I'm treating as a button) when the user presses their mouse button.  When users release the mouse button, I want my button to scale back to it's normal (.scaleX = .scaleY = 1) size.  My button also has listereners for a ROLL_OUT event to turn off (.alpha = 0) a highlight movieclip that rests atop movieclips showing the different states the button can be in.
 
When I roll over the button, the higlight comes, but there is an annoying flicker problem.  For some odd reason, when I press the mouse button the ROLL_OUT event handler function is called, yet I didn't scale the movie down enough for the cursor to be off of the actual button itself.  I do not want that flicker.  I'm not sure why ROLL_OUT is being called even though the event is clearly a mouse down, and within the mouse down event handler I am scaling the button movie clip, but not enough to remove out from under the cursor.  In other words, if I click the button at its registration point, a flicker appears.
 
Here's my code. 

//this add all the appropriate listeners to the button        private function addMouseListeners()        {            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOver);            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown);            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOut);            this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUp);        }    

[code]....
 
why my rollOut function is being called when the mouse button is pressed, and called once more when the mouse button is released.

Javascript :: Can't TouchDown And MouseDown Be Combined?

Feb 26, 2012

So in Actionscript 3 and Javascript, to get touch events working for mobile devices I have to listen for ontouch events... However, touch events not fired on desktop. However, mouse events are triggered on both mobile AND desktop. My quesion is this: why does w3 have this spec

Wouldn't it make sense to have just to use the onmouseevent? In order to have things work on mobile and desktop I always have to listen for both events-bviously this causes issue on mobile devices because two events are fired when i press the screen (meaning that I have to do a bunch of conditional checking to add/remove event)

My initial thoughts were that multi-touch would be the main reason... But couldn't the design just have some parameter of the event like .touches? That could go along with the .pressure, .finger width, etc... maybe a .type = "touch" or .type="mouse"

ActionScript 3.0 :: Button Flicker On MouseDown?

Jan 26, 2010

I have two button instances on the stage. I've created two functions, one for each button to handle their MOUSE_DOWN event. In both of those functions I have a trace statement to ensure the MOUSE_DOWN events trigger their respective function calls, which each do.

The Problem: When you hover over either button, the button state changes to the "OVER" state as it should. However, when you click the button, the button flickers for a split second and then goes to the "DOWN" state. The flicker appears to be the button going to the "UP" state momentarily and then to the "DOWN" state. The only thing I can think of causing this problem is the fact that there is a MovieClip on the "UP" and "OVER" states that may be inheriting button events.

I've had this happen in the past when using button instances that contain MovieClips inside of them, but never knew how to remedy the problem. As a last resort I guess I could just change all the button instances to movieclips, but I'd like to learn how to accomplish this without needing to do that first.

Here is the only code that exists in the entire file:

Code:
var _volumeUpButton:SimpleButton = btn_volume_up;
var _volumeDownButton:SimpleButton = btn_volume_down;
