ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Manipulate UI Elements Via DispatchEvent?

May 13, 2010

I'm trying to manually dispatch events on a textfield so I can manipulate it indirectly via code (e.g. place cursor at a given set of x/y coordinates). However, my events seem to have no effect.I've written a test to experiment with this phenomenon:[code]Essentially, all this test does is to use setTimeout to effectively 'record' events on TextField tf and replay them five seconds later on TextField tf2. When an event is dispatched on tf2, it is traced to the console output.The console output upon running this program and clicking on tf is:[code]As we can see, the events are being captured and replayed successfully.However, no change occurs in tf2 - the mouse cursor does not appear in tf2 as we would expect. In fact, the cursor remains in tf even after the tf2 events are dispatched.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Connect Dispatchevent Between Two Swf's?

Jul 24, 2010

One single swf, imgdesc.swf is being loaded into the emptymcholder, by the moviecliploader instance.My order isfolioholdermc ---holds--> emptymcholder --holds--> imgdesc.swfWithin folioholdermc, I disabled buttons and lowered opacity, once imgdesc.swf was loaded, using onloadInit()Now  in the button inside imgdesc.swf. I called, this.unloadMovie(), which  successfully unloads the file, but I am still inside emptymcholder, though I actually want to go back into folioholdermc.tener to check for unloadMovie. But my problem is can I place this within folioholdermc, within the onloadInit() or maybe within the on(press) function which actually calls  the loader in the first place?? I need to enable the buttons within  folioholdermc, and increase opacity, once the imgdesc.swf is unloaded.

Within the onLoadInit() in folioholdermc I added
_mc.addEventListener("end",endClip);
function endClip() {  trace("end");  //plan to insert code to

ActionScript 3.0 :: EventListener Is Not Being Hit By DispatchEvent?

Feb 14, 2012

I am making a class that is used to load levels, and while making the skeleton I thought I'd make some events for things like if there is an error while loading, or for when the loading finishes. So I did that and decided to test the event, via a test function that dispatches the event...but it just wont get picked up.

Here is the main class (a part of it anyway) where I'm adding the event listener.

ActionScript Code:
public function Game() {
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, Start);
this.addEventListener(LoadEvent.LOAD_COMPLETE, Bam);

[Code]....

why the dispatchEvent in the Load class and it's internal dispatcher class, is not getting to the eventListener in the Game class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Manipulate Instances

Feb 3, 2009

I am having trouble manipulating instances of xml loaded pictures. I want to change their x and y position and tween them etc. I have loaded them onto the stage from an xml file, and given them all individual names but the most I can do now is either move them all together, spread them evenly on an x or y axis, or remove one of them using getChildByName. What I can't do is what I want to do, which is place 20 or so images in an exact place, ie. a square.My main difficulty seems to be that I don't know how to reference an individual xml node and move it.
