I've spent most of this afternoon trying to learn Custom Events so that I can pass a variable through to a function that's fired when a Fade Out has been completed.

i.e.

So I'm not sure that I'm even close to getting this right.

how I can pass variables to a function called when a Transition has completed?

Actionscript 3.0 :: Passing Variables With A Custom Event With TransitionManager?

Apr 30, 2009

trying to learn Custom Events so that I can pass a variable through to a function that's fired when a Fade Out has been completed.

i.e.

Code: Select allvar tm:TransitionManager = new TransitionManager(movieclipname_mc);
tm.addEventListener ( "allTransitionsOutDone", TriggerThis );
tm.startTransition({type:Fade, direction:Transition.OUT, duration:2, easing:Strong.easeOut});

When the Fade Out is completed, the TriggerThis function is fired...

Code: Select allfunction TriggerThis(e:Event):void {
trace('triggered');
}

I want to pass a variable to TriggerThis though and I know that I need to use a Custom Event to do this. I tried creating a .as file containing the following:

Code: Select allpackage
{
import flash.events.Event;

[code]....

But this results in errors. Can anyone shed any light on how to pass the variables after a Transition has completed?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Resize Event Triggered On TransitionManager Start?

Jun 2, 2010

This example relies on 1 MC on the stage called testMc now when you run this code it works fine. Every time you click the movieclip in does what its suppose to do.

The output shows
trans

trans
trans
etc

The problem lies when you resize the screen and then press the button again for a few times you will see this in the output
transresizeresizeresizeresizeresizeresizetransresizetransresizetransresizetransresize

Somehow after the resize is done it keeps calling out for the resize event.
How is this possible ?! I made it in CS5.
 import flash.events.MouseEvent;import fl.transitions.*;import fl.transitions.easing.*;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, stageResize, false, 0, true);
function stageResize(evt:Event):void{
trace('resize');

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4 Disptaching Custom Event From Custom Component (why Flex Converting Custom Event To Mouseevent)?

Mar 2, 2012

This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));

Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message

Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent

The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.

This is my custome event

package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
import ui.map.MapElement;

Flex :: Event Flows For Built-in Event And Custom Event

Aug 22, 2011

I hava a custom component and it contains a child icon. If I add a mouse-click event listener to both component(click-listener1) and icon(click-listener2), the event dispatched sequence is click-listener2, then click-listener1. I can understand it. But if I add a custom event to component (listener1), and mouse-click event to icon(listener2), when icon is clicked, the component will dispatch the custom event. In my test, the event dispatched sequence is listener1, then listener2. It doesn't match with event-bubbles rule.

In my opinion The custom event is dispatched in listener2, which triggers listener1. Why event flow sequence is not listener2, listener1?

In component.

icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, iconClickHandler);
private function iconClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{

How do variables true/false custom variables work in flash?

For example, what I want to do is create a simple true=false variable that I can call on an if statement later.

For example:

Code:

I noticed that neither the "Var1 = true;" part or the if(!Var1) part worked in flash.

Actionscript 3 :: Flex 4.5 Not Listening To Custom Event Dispatched In Custom Class?

Nov 4, 2011

I have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:

package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..

So to sum it all up:

- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.

- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.

Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.

Error in Bold I've attempted to pass the Mouse Event to the painter function but had no luck. A simple solution (even potentially dangerous and WRONG) would be fine here, as this is part of University Coursework and I haven't been taught Classes etc. Its basically an introduction to scripting but im trying to do things slightly out of my depth

Flex :: Propagating Event From A Built-in Component To A Custom Event?

Jan 27, 2012

I am trying to understand event propagation in Flex framework and have a following doubt on it:

Scenario: I have a built-in component DropDownList on change of which I want to create a custom event refreshPreview and want to propagate it to a custom component PictureComponent.

In the custom component's mxml, I have added the Metadata directive as follows to register a refreshPreview event with the compiler

<fx:Metadata>
[Event(name="refreshPreview", type="flash.events.Event")]
</fx:Metadata>

Layout Details: In my main mxml application I have laid out DropDownList and the custom component such that both are siblings (i.e. have a common indirect parent)
e.g.

<s:Group id="contentGroup">
<s:Group id="formGroup">
<s:Form x="11"

[Code]....

I am seeing that the refreshPreview event is not getting propagated to the custom component.

I doubt this is because the built-in component is a sibling of the target (where the event got generated) and not a parent. how to make refreshPreview event propagate to custom component?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Custom Event Without Extending Event?

Sep 19, 2009

I'm using a Static EventDispatcher for all event handling in my application, and one of the issues with it is that the Static EventDispatcher becomes the target and currentTarget of the custom Event. Usually, I just pass the event to the custom event which it will carry as its own property. I usually call it "scope". So, instead of using "evt.target" or "evt.currentTarget" in the event handler, I use "evt.scope.target" or "evt.scope.currentTarget" instead. This works fine.

The issue is that I want to simplify this with custom events by overriding the target and currentTarget methods so that they return scope.target/scope.currentTarget. At run time, I get an error saying that I cannot convert Event to whatever I named the custom event. So, I tried not extending Event, and that produced an error stating that the class function is expecting exactly 0 parameters. I just want to make it so that people using Static EventDispatcher handling events as they normally would.

So, the question is there a way to override target and currentTarget while extending the Event class, or is there a way to create a custom event without extending Event?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Arguments To A Custom MC Class Constructor?

Oct 30, 2011

I'm having trouble with the constructor for a custom Class tied to a library MovieClip.
 
Say I have a MovieClip in my library named Circle, which is tied to the class com.shapes.Circle . I want the Circle class contstructor to take 2 arguments, xScale and yScale:
 
public function Circle(xScale:Number, yScale:Number) { }
 
However, if I try to call that from in code, for example Circle ball = new Circle(3.14,2.0); , I always get an "Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0" error.
 
Is it possible to have a custom class tied to a MovieClip that can take arguments, or does Flash not allow this? I'd asked about this before and thought I figured it out, but from looking at it now I apparently hadn't figured it out and had resorted to a sloppy workaround; I'm hoping to fix it now.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing Parameter To GotoAndPlay In Custom Function

Dec 13, 2004

I have a custom function with parameter. I'm trying to pass the parameter to the gotoAndPlay as follows. This is where the function is called...

Code:
myButton_btn.onPress = function() {
myFunction("Apply");
}
This is the function...
Code:
myFunction = function (fLabel) {
trace(fLabel);
gotoAndPlay(fLabel);
}

Basically "Apply" is a frame label that I'm trying to send the playhead to. The fLabel paramater traces out properly, but the gotoAndPlay doesn't send the playhead to the appropriate frame label. It sends it to 4 frames before the end. It's really weird. Even if I add frames to the timeline, it still sends it to 4 before the end. I can get it to work perfectly in a "new" flash document, but not in my existing document.

ActionScript 2.0 :: F 8 - Passing Variables From One SWF To Another?

When the button is clicked, I need it to open another swf in a new window on a different domain and pass the variables to a dynamic text box in the new window. I looked at local connect but I wasn't sure it would work because the two windows wouldn't necessarily be loaded at the same time and they are on different domains.

Passing Variables Between .swf Files?

Sep 9, 2009

I am loading images into a movie clip dynamically from an XML file. Based on what image the user clicks, I would like to be able to open a separate window, displaying a different image. Ideally, I'd pass the variable of which image was selected to the new open window.I've done some research online, and am thinking I'm making this harder than it needs to be.

Actionscript from main movie

Code:
chosenImage.onPress = function() {[code]......

I've also seen where I could possibly pass a variable through ASP.NET, but am experiencing the same errors when trying to pass the variable. I suppose I could embed the popup.swf file in a new .aspx page, that would probably be acceptable.
