Is there anyway to kill a keypress event in progress(bubbling?). Basically I have a chat app that on pressing enter sends the message, also in the keypress handler it clears the input textfield. however it still adds the return back into the field and since its doing it after the keypress i cant shift the carret to zero. so you always ended up starting on line 2 with a on line 1. I tried to null and void the keypress when it hit my handler but that did not change anything. is there anyway way to kill the event once its called? basicly making sure any other handlers after it dont get called?
I have editable grids which are 2-way binded to my model. What I want is to validate my data when user edits any cell before it get updated in model. I have applied my validation at ItemEditEnd handler, but, I want to apply validation in between itemEditBegin and itemEditEnd events.
I have a situation where I'm using the FLVPlayback component and it starts off blank, meaning that it shows the video player skin but doesn't load a movie until prompted to do so. However, the progress bar in the skin is acting as if a movie is being loaded. I'd like to make it invisible or stop it until I need it, but I can't seem to target it. I've tried the following with no success.[code]
I've built an online magazine, that has several links to videos. One page has four of them. They all work great except under one specific circumstance. If the user quickly opens a video, and closes it, moving on the to next, and doing the same, the 3rd or 4th video may appear unresponsive. I've narrowed this down to being a bandwith issue. If I look at my activiyt in Safari, the FLV files continue to download even if the user closes my player.
Is there anyway to kill this download if the user closes a player?[code]...
have a movie clip that I am moving with tweens. When the user clicks a button it creates a new tween and the movie clip moves. However, I have another button that sets the position of the same movie clip. The problem comes when this button is clicked if the tween is in progress. The tween continues and my content moves out of view. Is there a way to stop or delete the tween when the second button is clicked?Here is a simplified example of the relevant AS:
Finally I was able to get my site running with a little FLASH ACTIONSCRIPT in it. (all courtesy of url....)I got so excited and published it right away 'cause I think for as a photographer, it's a huge accomplishment on my part.In my main movie, there are 3 BUTTONS namely: Portfolio, About me, and Contact.In the main timeline I added this script below
if you notice it, there is a 30 second timer set to purposely move the playhead back to "rewind" and load the RANDOM SCRIPT again. The problem comes whenever you click on either ABOUT ME or CONTACT, because once you are in those frame, the timer will bring you back at "rewind" naturally.I tried to search for some way to stop the timer when pressing ABOUT ME and CONTACT but haven't seen one yet.
I want to stop ProgressEvent.Progress and two seconds to determine whether the Internet connection is dialup. Is there a way to stop ProgressEvent.Progress when bytesLoaded < bytesTotal? Right now, the event continues until the entire *.jpg file is loaded and/or creates a fatal error closing Flash. Here's the code I'm using:
I'm running into some problems using the close() method.I'm trying to build a class that checks a resource size before loading it.it's very simple: I use the Loader class to load the resource, listens to the first progress event and immediately closes the connection with the Loader.close() method.However, the close() doesn't seem to stop the Loader after the first progress event dispatched.here is a quick copy & paste frame code just to demonstrate my point:
I am uploading a file to a server using a multipart URLLoader. I am able to upload the file fine. I have tried to listen to the progress event on the URLLoader but it only fires at the very end of the upload. How do I get the progress event more consistently through the upload?
I create a download progress event but I need tu use it seral time and the text apear only one time.[code]No problem for the first click, but after the progress text dont't appaear.
Has there been any word on when the output progress event is being implemented? At the moment flash sockets are useless at uploading anything other than basic text files or maybe images because we are unable to control the amount of data being sent. The way I see the output working at the moment is when trying to send large files, the input buffer becomes flooded and in the process of trying to transmit so much data at the same time, many packets are lost. I tested this by trying to transfer a 570mb AVI to an ftp server. By the time it got there the file was only 37mb. The event would allow us to calculate the network speed of the system doing the uploading and the speed of the server doing the downloading so that the buffer size and intervals can be optimized.
in Flex if i have a loader class (i.e., XMLLoader) and a document class (document.as) and in document.as I'm instantiating XMLLoadervar ldr:XMLLoader = new XMLLoader(url);... and on the document.as class I have a text box, which I would like updated with the progress from that XMLLoader is making by using URLLoaders progress event, continously. Meaning, the box would show the load in bytes that it is recievingI'm not sure how to constantly push data out of an event and add it to another class. For example:
myLstnr.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, getProgress); private function getProgress():void {
how can I catch event ProgressEvent.PROGRESS when upload is starting?? I try to catch this event for creating progress bar, but it works when I download files from server to swf with a help from method load() URLLoader only. It dosen't work when uploading data (for example ByteArray) from swf to server..
i have a question to ask about asynchronous key controls This was what i did
[Code]...
and i checked with [URL]...?newspage=6249 and it looked more or less the same, so why is it that when i move my character and when i hold down a key, it just keeps on listerning to that keypress event listener, instead of just executing the other event. So say, i tap left and after which i tap right, it will work just fine, but if i hold left and tap right, the event listerner will still be listening to the left key. So, i was wondering could anyone point me in a direction as to how should i make my code stop listening to an event as soon as another event has been dispatched?
I have an SWF movie (1375 frames) and created a progress bar (248px wide) with a slider that moves according to the movie progress. I'm doing that next way:Calculating the distance for the slider to be moved each frame (248 / 1375) On each ENTER_FRAME moving the slider for the calculated distance The problem is - the movie ends far before the slider reaches the end of the progress bar.
I'm thinking that the distance (Step 1) is is somehow ends floored by Flash and the actual distance it moves the slider is smaller than required. That's why the movie ends, but the timeline control just passed the 2/3 of its way. My question is - is there any solution for the problem? Or any other way to go, if it's a wrong one?
I'm programming a simple game for school, and now I get the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at actionscript::EnemyFighter/onEnteringFrame()
I think this is because the object that calls this function does not exist anymore (it is removed from the stage). However, I did add an event listener for this and let it remove the ENTER_FRAME event listener. Therefore, this function should not be called anymore...
I tried to give the class a variable 'exists', then setting this to 'false' in the function that is called when the object is removed from stage. Also, this onEnteringFrame function first checks whether this 'exists' variable is true before executing any code... This also didn't solve my problem...
So in the end, it seems like the ENTER_FRAME is always called before the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event. Is there anyway to turn this around?
Let's say you have a guestbook in where you constantly update the data pulled from a .txt file, but when someone posts a comment and press the SUBMIT button, you'd like that the data is updated at that moment to make it display faster, but since an already dispatched event is coming to update the data of your guestbook WITHOUT the newly posted comment, a flicker might occur, so you would then like to stop that data from being transferred to your Flash file and rather dispatch a new event to load new data with your recently posted comment. Or maybe you just want to know how to stop an event from any class, either way, you've come to the right place.
Let's use that guestbook as our example. Instead of using an onEnterFrame to constantly update the data, I'd use LoadVars' onData event to retrieve the data, but when that data has been transferred, dispatch another onData event, and make this keep going in a loop:
ActionScript Code: function updateGuestbook(){ loadData = new LoadVars(); loadData.onData = function(data){
[code]...
and then I have this button to submit my comment to the guestbook (keeping it simple):
so I call the updateGuestbook function, which will fire another event to load new data, but another event has probably already been fired off already with the old data, and this will cause the guestbook to nudge a bit, flicker, if you know what I mean, because first the old data will load, then right after that, a few milliseconds later, the new data will load, and this will be visible to the eye, and will probably not look good.What you can do, is to stop the previous event, delete it, to stop its data from being received by Flash. To do this, simply use this:
if you had a parent movieclip, say mc1, and two movieclips inside that, say mc2 and mc3, and you had a color button that changed the color of mc3, how would you stop the button from affecting mc2? to make it clearer, mc3 is a fence section and mc2 is the shadow affect (for realistic looking fence section). when the button is pressed on the stage, the color take both movieclips and turns them into its functions color.
I have built a flash movie that is located here: http:[url]......For some reason after the timeline plays through completly (after the "headshots and potfolios" slide) the listener on the "child and family portraits" button stops listening or responding. Why is that? All the other event listeners are behaving themselves except this one? Here is the actionscript:
I have a MovieClip which contains 4 Buttons:When the user mouses out of the container, it shoulddisappear:this.resolutions.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,this.resolutionsClose);When the user mouses out of any of the 4 Buttons, the event bubbles up to the container. This is not the expected behavior. How do I stop this propagation when none of the 4 Buttons have mouse out handlers?
What is the difference between event.bubbles to false for any event, And Setting event.stopPropagaion() or stopImmidiatePropagation() while handling event? I am using flex4 with as3.
This was working just fine, then flash crashed last night, and now the first event listener keeps firing over and over, endlessly... Even if I remove the listener right there in the function being called...
Edit: Argh, somehow, I must have added a second frame to the timeline (which I have hidden because I'm not using it) so flash was looping the 2 frames over and over...
Code: var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader() xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML_complete) xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("filename.xml"))
I am currently using a mouse move event listener to check the x and y coordinates of the mouse on the stage, but I am wondering how in god's name I can stop this once the function has exited. I am using the even listener inside of a drag and drop function, specifically inside of the drag function, but when I call dragging.stop(), I would also like to remove the event listener.
I have music player when the swf starts and loops continuously or until "music off" button is activated. I would like the music to stop when a certain page is called or if that can't be done then when any button of the main menu is selected.
