ActionScript 3.0 :: ROLL_OUT And MOUSE_OUT Triggering Incorrectly?

Mar 7, 2009

I am having a rather annoying problem!! Basically my code is triggering the event when it definitely should not be...Here is my layout:

Node container - holds all my Sprites and has a MOUSE_OVER (<works fine) and a MOUSE_OUT / ROLL_OUT (<neither of which work) Sprites in Node container - contain text + images but have a Shape hitbox on the top layer meaning there should be no confusion!Basically, I check to see if anything rolls over my node container with MOUSE_OVER which triggers correctly and allows me to target which sprite the user has rolled over.

However, when you move the mouse over the sprites (but not outside!) if constantly triggers my MOUSE_OUT and ROLL_OUT events, it makes no difference which one I use...This is is really frustrating and I can not think of even an ugly work around in my code to solve this, it would be nice to fix it and add it to my knowledge later.

EDIT : Actually the MOUSE_OVER triggers as soon as the OUT event has triggered incorrectly.

EDIT 2 :Basically I have a custom cursor and this is the root of the problem, it thinks I am rolling over the cursor and then out constantly.. OK so how can I Ignore my mouse cursor image? So it doesn't think I am rolling out all the time..?

EDIT 3 : FIXED

mouseEnabled = false;
mouseChildren = false;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Culprit Of MOUSE_OUT/ROLL_OUT Event?

Apr 24, 2009

I have a sprite that has a MOUSE_OUT and a MOUSE_OVER event. It is CONSTANTLY saying that those events are firing over and over as a background inside of it scrolls. Here is my setup.priteA.inside of SpriteA i have SpriteB.inside of SpriteB i have a bunch of different sprites.SpriteB has mouseChildren and mouseEnabled both set to false so anything in there should not be getting mouse events.SpriteA then has the MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT events.SpriteB scrolls around inside of SpriteA and it's when it scrolls that the events keep firing.(I have tried ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT also, and the same thing happens).

How can I figure out what the mouse is hitting to cause the MOUSE_OUT even to fire so I can put a stop to it!I even went so far just now as to when the MOUSE_OUT/ROLL_OUT event is fired, at the beginning of that listener i looped through all the children of SpriteA, to see if there was anything else that was in there that I didnt know about. Only one item showed up, and that was SpriteB, and like I said, mouseChildren and mouseEnabled is fals on SpriteB... so this almost seems like a bug

ActionScript 3.0 :: MouseEnabled=false Triggering A MOUSE_OUT?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dynamic MC's + Listener - Can't Move Mouse Up And Down A Popped-up Sub-menu Without The Mouse_out Function Triggering

Aug 9, 2011

Overview: I'm creating a menu where buttons have a sub-menu that pops-up when you hover over the main buttons. The menu will eventually be populated by scanning labels in the timeline, and that seems to be working fine so far. Everything works good enough except you can't move your mouse up and down a popped-up sub-menu without the mouse_out function triggering. The mouse_out listener seems to be applied to all individual sub-buttons when I'd like it to apply only to the parent MC container of each sub-menu.

Is there a problem with the way I'm assigning sub-buttons to container MC's ? I've explored using an array to store the MC's as well, but still had the same listener issue. Could someone look at my FLA? If you do a find for "PROBLEM", that is a good place to start.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Recognizing ROLL_OUT?

Jan 13, 2011

I'm programming a Flash-based site designed by the client. The trouble is the SWF dimensions are small within the HTML page, and the thumbs show the larger images on roll over. The large images are meant to disappear on mouseout, but it's easy to move the cursor too quickly for the mouseout to be recognized -- so the image gets stuck on screen.

Professional :: Fonts Incorrectly Embedded In CS5?

Mar 28, 2011

Create new AS3 fla fileIn publish settings, click 'Generate Size report'Put some text on the stage - Classic text, static (Though it doesn't seem to matter)Make sure the font is '_sans' (There is no 'Use device fonts' option for this font choice)Publish the fileNote that _sans is now embedded in the SWF, occupying bytes in the size report. Try the same in CS3, and there is nothing embedded, as you would expect. Unfortunately I can't get my fla loaded into CS3 because CS5 will only allow me to export as CS4.
 
Similarly, change the font to something specific, like Verdana, and set it to use device fonts and it still embeds font data (We're talking about 3 or 4k) but doesn't list any glyphs. Occasionally though, by screwing around, it doesn't embed anything. Then nudge some text in some magical way and it's back to embedding redundant data.

Flash :: MaxScrollV Reporting Incorrectly?

Dec 9, 2010

I have an html text field that displays content from an xml file, and a class that determines whether or not to show a scrollbar.The code that determines this is as straightforward as

if (field.maxScrollV>1){
showscrollbars()
}

And 9 times out of ten it is working. Sometimes - it seems when the html contains <li> - maxScrollV is reporting '2' and the scrollbars are showing, even though all text is visible onscreen and it will not actually scroll at all.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Php Script Being Called Incorrectly

Jul 2, 2009

I have a project with flash, php and mysql. We have a form for notes, that sends and stores a note, and then we have some other forms, and the other makes a query on a database to know what equipment some employee has. They are different swf movies loaded in another one. The issue is that whenever you make a query for an employee, there is a blank note saved. I already tried to trace something but nothing shows up. The code for notes is NEVER executed on the list change action, but still blank notes are added to the database. Here are the flash codes:

ActionScript 3.0 :: ROLL_OUT Fires While Hovering?

Sep 27, 2009

I'm trying to create a Thumbnail class that extends MovieClip and have run into a "loop". When I hover a cursor over a Thumbnail instance it fires an over and an out event. That is, that happens if I add any kind of filter to the Thumbnail class in the over event, if I leave that out and trace the code it fires only the over event and waits till the cursor leaves the thumbnail. I have tried adding the GlowFilter and the ColorMatrixFilter with the same effect: premature ROLL_OUT.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Images Sorting Incorrectly From XML?

Nov 5, 2009

I have a series of images coming in from XML, they are labeled sequentially something_01 - 21. No problems there at all.

When I add the image links to an XMLList, they trace in order... something_01 - 21. No problems there either...

Hell, even when I trace "loadedImages" below they trace in order.

But on stage... though all the images appear & line up the way I want, they're random in order. Image 15 | Image 12 | Image 17 | Image 6, etc...

I'm sure it can be in the code but it's really very frustrating. I first add each image to a box and then load it to a content container.

Code:
XML...
function formatXMLContent():void {
for (var i:uint = 0; i < tourImage.length(); i++) {
var loader:Loader = new Loader();

ActionScript 3.0 :: ROLL_OUT Listener Not Firing?

Jan 16, 2010

I am loading an external image into a movieclip and the rollout works fine if I move the mouse slowly. If I scroll quickly across the stage, the rollover state stays and the rollout doesn't happen. Slowly rolling back over the movie clip doesn't fire the rollover, but does fire the rollout according to the traces.

container.getChildByName("dot").getChildByName("id ").addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, dotRollout);

Unfortunately, I don't have a small example of this. It is a piece of a rather large conversion from AS2 to AS3 and this is just about the last bug.

I could use a trick to track the listeners that are added and removed.

Am I creating the problem by adding and removing the listeners everytime a hover or src image gets loaded?

I should mention that it is failing in Flash player 10 since one post called it a player bug. No great info there.

ActionScript 3.0 :: TextField Width Reported Incorrectly?

Mar 5, 2009

I've been working with a marginally subclassed form of a TextField, which I need to display with embedded fonts. I'm noticing some surprising behaviour with the width property when embedded fonts are enabled, which is causing me trouble further on in my code.Due to the way I am animating text, I am displaying each word in a separate TextField (or Word object, as I've subclassed it). I then reassemble a line of text with even spacing, and to that I need to know the width of each word, so that following words will begin at the correct x-position. Before I began to use embedded fonts, the width was reported accurately, as expected, but once I enable embedding, the width property is reported as a much lower valueI've included the constructor for my Word object, which shows some traces for debugging

PHP Code:
public function Word(wText:String, partOfSpeech:String, chunkTag:String) {
text = wText;

ActionScript 2.0 :: Loading Images Displaying Incorrectly?

Jun 6, 2009

I'm trying to load some jpeg's into my movieclips. They are loading, but my height is displaying wrong. The image is 64x100px. I'm changing my movieclip to show the same size, but the display of the image is stretched.Doing a Debug of the movie, the movieclips show the correct dimensions, but the images are still stretched vertically somehow. My _xscale and _yscale are both at 100.

This is in actionscript 2.0. I've ran this file on both MX2004 and CS3, with the same result. The images aren't progressive,

spacing = 10;

Flash Displaying Incorrectly Once Uploaded To Apache?

I recently purchased a flash template and after a lot of configuration and tailoring to my own requirements, I have the website look and feel exactly how I want it. I then proceeded to upload the site into cPanel and more specifically Apache, and unfortunately the display within the flash has now gone completely wrong. There are extra spaces in sentences where there were previously none and numerous images and text titles do not display any longer.his occurs in all browsers when viewed live but when viewed from my local computer via my hard drive all browsers display the content as normal??I am more of a Cisco/Network consultant therefore my knowledge in this area stretches a very small amount. I have added the Apache Handlers for .swf, .xml and the image formats but that's about as much as I know

Actionscript 3 :: MouseEvent ROLL_OVER/ROLL_OUT Alternatives?

I have a custom cursor and I want it to change when you highlight a MovieClip, and return to its default value when the MovieClip is not highlighted anymore.I've used MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, and MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT. The result isn't very smooth and there is a small delay to when the cursor changes. Also sometimes if you move the mouse fast enough the cursor won't change at all.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Play And Stop FLV On ROLL_OVER ROLL_OUT

Feb 7, 2009

i want a flv to start when i mouseover a special location. i have placed a button there with alpha = 0, and with eventListeners for ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT.

the roll-out video is the same as the roll-on video, only it goes backwards.
so i want it to start seamlessly where the other one stopped as the mouse rolled out.

this is what i've done so far:

ActionScript Code:
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playVid);
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, playVid);
function playVid(e:MouseEvent):void

[Code]....

it is very staccato, and on ROLL_OUT it removes the video totaly before it plays the out-video. so it's not seamlessly.

So is there a way to "pre-load" these two videos, so it appears as fast as a normal mouseover/mouseout on a button? And a way to keep the on-video on screen untill the off-video starts at its seek-point?

ActionScript 2.0 :: AttachMovie Incorrectly Positioning Clips?

Jul 25, 2005

I'm using a Movie Clip (mc1) as a button and for it to be able to function with a mouse click, I placed a Button symbol (b1) inside of the Movie Clip and put some ActionScript onto the nested Button symbol:

Code:
on (release) {
_parent.attachMovie("mc2_id", "dot", 100);
dot._x=150;
dot._y=100;
}

As you can see, I'm trying to get another Movie Clip (mc2) onto the stage and that part works fine, but for some reason it keeps ending up at the top-left corner of the stage even though my code says otherwise. What am I missing? I'm including the .fla if anyone would be kind enough to look at it.

Also, when I was setting the linkage properties for the clip to be attached, I had to enable the "Export in first frame" function just so it would work (I normally don't since I was told it would kill a preloader if I had one); how would you export things without having this box checked if you normally don't do that sort of thing because of a preloader?
