ActionScript 3.0 :: Targeting MC - Setup With MouseEvent Handler In Array
May 7, 2009
I have some buttons (dynamic mc's) set up with an ROLL_OVER/ROLL_OUT MouseEvent handler and have put them in an array.
Code:
var btnArray:Array = [];
for(var i:int = 0; i < 5; i++) {
var bg:Bg = new Bg();
bg.width = 173;
bg.height = 20;
bg.x = 25;
bg.y = (22 * i) + 40;
bg.name = "bg"+i;
[Code] .....
The problem is I can't seem to target the dtr mc's (Dot) at all even when they're in an array. Anyone have any strategies I can use to make this concept finally work? I've been able to do it as long as the dot mc's are a child of the button mc's, but I don't want the rollOver/rollOut effects to effect the child, therefore the separation.

I have a movieclip in my library called clip1 and inside it are a combobox and a button called combo1 and button1. I attach them like this:
Code:
for (var count = 1; count <= 5; count++) {
mc = new clip1 ();
addChild (mc);
}
I need to write an event handler that will trace out the label selected in the combobox when the button in the same movieclip as the combobox is pressed. Kind of hard to explain but can attach an fla if needed.

Is there a way to set up an event handler for an xml request and it generates an error - SecurityError: Error #2148? I already have a listener like this one, but it is not getting triggered _urlLoader.addEventListener (SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, _security);// function _security (e:SecurityErrorEvent):void {// do something}

i'm trying to setup a 2D array, but not geting very far. here's a simple bit of sample code i've got.
Code:
var temp:Array = new Array();
temp[0] = [1,3];
temp[1] = [2,4];
temp[2] = [3,6];
trace(temp[1][2]);
as far as i understand, that trace should output 4. but instead it gives me undefined

I'm a bit green when it comes to code and I have a specific thing I need to do which has had me going round in circles (no laughing at the back!). It must be pretty simple but I'm stumped! Basically I have 6 movieclips on the timeline with instance names 'btn1', 'btn2' etc to 'btn6'. These movieclips have an "on" and an "off" state (frame labels)

i have a series of buttons in an array, and i want to change the alpha of all of the buttons when a button (outside of this array) is clicked. i can change the alpha of all of the buttons inside the for loop, but not when the button is clicked. (the button is functional and being referenced correctly, as the trace does work.)what do i need to do differently to be able to control these buttons?
Code: Select all
var theBtns:Array = [btn1, btn2, btn3, btn4, btn5, btn6, btn7, btn8];
for(i=0;i<theBtns.length;i++){

I wanted to setup an array of movieclip buttons to navigate across my timeline via labels, this is where it went pear shaped.
Having spent three days reading and attempting most online solutions I couldn't find a method which worked 100% without failing in some way or another.
I've had some joy with the method below having seen a blog entry covering different ways to call frames etc and which highlighted the bugbear below :
clipArray[i].mouseChildren = false; //Hidden bugbear
I've added the full code below so hopefully it may help anyone else who similarly nearly resorted to hari-kari in trying this.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
var clipArray:Array = [btn_1,btn_2]; // Movieclip's called btn_1 etc...
[Code]....
This works fine, now however my understanding of whether it is 'good' code or not is an issue, if this could be improved in any way I'd like to know why and how as the problem with learning AS3 from 2 is that often you use code having seen it online without fully grasping the detail.
Adding MovieClip buttons with fluidity and which cancel out from an array became a three day mission when you're learning...

This seems like it should be fairly simple, but for some reason Im getting caught up when it comes to removing a layer from my drawing app, and when moving the layers up and down in the display list. My first problem is that when I do the (canvas.removeChild(layers[value]); it removes the child of the targeted layer, but it also removes the child of the objects before it? I think anyways.
The second problem is that my layerUp function works, but my layerDown does not, even though they are the same code? Confused I am indeed. I'm sure its fairly messy since Im just learning this stuff, so sorry for that too!

I'm trying to target a dynamic text box for a slideshow that is located in an attached movieclip.This is the array:var slideShow = ["slide1", "slide2", "slide3", "slide4"]; Each slide is a movie clip that is loaded with attachMovie(). These movies each have a dynamic textbox named "slideDescription". How would I be able to target that text box and get it to change the desciption each time I move to the next slide in the array?

I have dynamic links that I'm pulling from an already published RSS feed [URL] using the xml in said document.Now, the 'client' wants the video links from this document to link to an iframe above the flash interface. No problems targeting the iframe when the links are hardcoded into the flash piece, but they want complete control (yes, I know they're asking for a miracle). Here's my piece so far:[URL]
Here's the function and variable that pulls the links and titles: Code:
Code:
function getPageTitle(ind):String{
var this_text = "<a href='" + _level0.link_array[ind] + "'>" + _level0.title_array[ind] + "</a>";
return this_text;
This is what I tried (along with just single quotes and double quotes), but to no avail: Code:
Code:
function getPageTitle(ind):String{
var this_text = "<a href='" + _level0.link_array[ind] + "'" + ", "video_swap">" + _level0.title_array[ind] + "</a>";
return this_text;

I have several stage event handlers to enable mouseovers over several dynamically generated moviecilps on the stage that then change their alpha to indicate the mouse is over that particular mc... fairly trivial (mcOver handler). Additionally, I also want to know what MC is clicked, so I update a public variable (public var activemc:Number) with the ID of the dynamic movieclip when the mouse is over it (using a hitTest to check, which is why the EventListener is added to stage and not to the MC), which is checked in the mcClicked handler:This is in the constructor:
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);[code]....
However, the mouseover behaviour (alpha 0 when over, alpha 1 when out) stops working as soon as I click on any movieclip on the stage, and the mcClicked ID checking (below) stops working completely. I don't know if this is to do with focus:
private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
}
I then tried adding the event handler for the stage mouse_move again and this gets the mouseover working again but only for 1 more click, after which it stops again:
private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);

I have a MovieClip (call it base_mc) which is under a bunch of other MovieClips (call them subclips). The MovieClips on top are all mouseEnabled with MOUSE_OVER, CLICK, etc, event handlers. I want to capture the event of MOUSE_OVER (or ROLL_OVER) on the base_mc as well. Any time I am over one of the subclips I am also over the base_mc clip. How can I capture this event?

I'd like to know what is the difference between MouseEvent.CLICK & MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN. Because when i use MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN for a button to set full-screen view its doesn't work, instead of this MouseEvent.CLICK works. So what was the reason.

I'm making a button for the first time, and I wanted to use a full click to drive it. However, when I use addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler); nothing happens when I click on it. When I use (with the rest of the code being identical) addEventListener(MouseEvent. MOUSE_ down, onClickHandler); it works like a charm.

I have a MOUSE_DOWN handler that creates a CLICK event listener on a child object. Naturally, as soon as you release the mouse button, if you happen to be over the child object, the CLICK event fires.I was disappointed to discover that event.stopImmediatePropagation doesn't interrupt the CLICK event from registering the MOUSE_DOWN as part of its detection cycle. It makes sense that it doesn't but still... disappointing.A MouseEvent.CLICK consists of detecting a MOUSE_DOWN on the object and then if it's followed by a MOUSE_UP without leaving the object, he event fires. I had hoped that by cancelling the MOUSE_DOWN event, it would clear that out of the CLICK buffer, but no such potatoes, alas.This could all be handled with a flag and a couple more MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN handlers, but dang, smacks of effort

I would like to change the alpha of the clip that is being rolled over. I don't know how to target the clip that is being rolled over. How do I do that?

I have a loop that goes through an array and duplicates (and positions) movieclips on the scene and loads JPGs into them with "loadMovie". I then try to attach an "onRollOver"-handler to the movieclip but it doesn't respond. Here's the thing: It works fine when I don't load the images into the MC instances... but as soon as I do, the onRollOver is not responsive anymore.
I read the telltale line "loading a JPG or SWF into a movieclip replaces it"... is that the cause of the problem? I mean- can I not refer to the duplicated MCs anymore as soon as I load something into them? How could I work around it?
