ActionScript 3.0 :: TextEvent.LINK - Determine Mouse Over?
Dec 21, 2011
I'm using the following code in an app, but what I'd like to know is if there's a way to determine if a user mouses over the link. I would like to display a custom tooltip I've made when the user is mousing over a link, I've been looking for code that will accomplish this, i.e.: myText.addEventListener(TextEvent.MOUSE_OVER, doAFunction); - but I'm not able to find anything associated with mousing over a text link, aside from using a stylesheet. On the mousing over of a link, I want to determine if the event == httplink, a custom event I've created. If anyone could shed some light on how to accomplish this, I would be much obidged.

I have a symbol on the stage and under a mask at design time. During the course of events, I add another movieclip to the masked clip already on the stage.This newly-added clip contains yet another clip which contains, among other things, my textfield.So the hierarchy looks like this:
Stage > Masked clip > Clip > Clip with textfield
That textfield's (named 'tf') htmlText property has a standard link, something like <a href="event:http://www.url.com">Click here</a>
After assigning the htmlText, I add the event listener:
Code:
tf.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, onTextEvent);
function onTextEvent (evt:TextEvent):void
{ trace (evt.text);}
However, the link itself doesn't even switch to a hand cursor when the mouse is over it, so forget even hoping the even listener will fire!
If I add the clip directly to the stage, it "works," but adding it there isn't an option. As far as I know, I've ensured that all clips along the way have mouseChildren set to true: I just can't think of why it wouldn't be working as-is. I created a simple test in a new file, and that appeared to work..

I'm trying to dispatch a 'NavigationEvent' from a TextEvent handler and i'm not sure why it's not working. Here's what i got in a nutshell[code]...
as you can see i have a trace tester to make sure that readNews is actually being called.. and it is. Is this event dispatch.. not able to happen because it's inside another event handler? I'm pretty new to as3 structure so please excuse any ridiculousness.

I'm trying to determine with the help of a mouse event if I'm over a specific component. So right now I have two components, let's say buttonA and buttonB. ButtonA has a listener on it already listening for the mouse out event. ButtonB is flush against the edge of ButtonA. I need to find out the code for it. Here is more details:

How would you calculate or determine the mouse speed on the stage? What i am trying to do is this:
You have a custom cursor which shows a plus sign when you very suddenly and fast change the direction of the mouse to the right. When you do the same to the left, the cursor changes to the minus sign.
However, if you steadily move the mouse from left to right while the mouse cursor is showing the minus sign, the mouse cursor stays the same, only on very fast change of direction the cursor changes?

I'm working on a Curling game and have a broom moving back and forth based on the mouseX position. Although I thought it would be as simple as recording the current broom position vs. the previous broom position that's not the case. This is because when you move back and forth the current and last postion may be at the very same point, like the center of the screen, depending on when exactly the mouse position is recorded. So, moving the mouse very slowly may give the same result and moving the mouse super fast where the x coordinate just happens to be recorded at or near the same point.
I tried using both an enterFrame event and a timer. Both yielded essentially the same results. I can't think of a way around this off the top of my head. Is there another way to record how fast the user is moving the mouse back and forth?

I'm trying to make a clip that will have another clip attached (eventually it'll be a mask) when you roll over it. I want the mouse positon to be determined on rollover and a different clip (with different registration point) to be attached depending on which quadrant you rollover first. IE- you rollover the lower left quadrant of the mc first so an mc with an upper right registration point is attached and follows the mouse.
Code:
leftfunction = function(){
if (patch._ymouse <= 100){
llowerfunction;

Actually, on my splash screen, i have tow tiny lines which i intend to follow thw mouse, one in the x-direction and the other y-direction. but only one works. and it's difficult to click on any link. The curcor refuses to just appear. if i disable one, the other works. i used onenterframe, and "lock to Rectangle" in Normal mode)

I am new to Flash. I bought a template online a couple weeks ago, and for the most part have made all the changes to personalize the page. The page is for wedding videography, and came with a Videos section. However, I do not like the template video player, and would like to have the Videos link on the menu bar go straight to my youtube channel rather than to the flash player. Primarily all changes to the template have been made in a text.txt file, rather than the flash file itself. My question is, how could I change the link on the main page to route to my youtube channel? Here's what it looks like in the text file:

I have a datagrid with different types of columns, like I have checkboxes, combo boxes and text Inputs as the column types. Now I want one of the column type to a link, with the label "view". All the rows in that column are link with the same label "View" and on clicking it, I want a Pop up window to be opened?
This is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[code]....
I didn't know how to bring a link in the datagrid. So used the Text control to display the "View" label. Now If I click this item, "View" in the datagrid, I want the Pop up function, i.e.,defectCommentsPopUp() to be called.

I have created a small application which takes it's information from an xml file and displayes it in a news ticker which is a flash Flash AS2 application. tell me the correct way to format the link tag in the xml if there is a standard when wanting to state a target for the link? The xml file currently looks like:
<newsTicker>
<item>
<header>Test Message 1</header>[code]....
So what I want to do is to be able to open the link in a taget=_blank window however adding that to the end of the url does not currently work.I have added a comma and also tried using a space, space and encompassing in quotes but none are working.

i created my subMenu buttons fine, however i only know how to link them to a picture/url address, my goal is to have the user click the subMenu button and open the image or page right below the menu bar in the "stage" area of flash. I read about IFrames but i'd rather create the whole site in flash .Here is the code for my subMenu...
btn_34th.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClickHandler);
function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("images/34th.jpg"));
trace("I'm Clicked!");
Again, this works fine, i just want to have the image take up the "white" space on the stage area, very similar to an IFrame.

I've trawled the web, everyone with different ideas on how to call up a mailto link in AS3. What I'm looking for is this: I have a box, that is coverted to a button symbol given the name 'mailto'I have another layer for the actionscript I have imported 'flash.net.navigateToURL' and 'flash.net.URLRequest'
I know I need to create a function or a variable to link in the already created button. Do I also need to import the MouseEvents?
I created this FLA to get used to CS4 (i was previously using8)Everything works wonderfully, I would just like to know how to use AS3 properly, without having to call defeat and create the FLA again using AS2.

I have designed a menu that When you mouse over it, a custom cursor appears. When you mouse down it disappears and when you mouse up it returns. If you happen to mouse down and then drag the mouse off of the menu (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up outside the menu, the custom cursor disappears. All good. The only issue is: If you happen to mouse down on the menu and then drag the mouse off of the menu AND off of the stage, i.e the SWF (whilst in mouse down) and then mouse up completely off of the stage, the custom cursor appears at the point it left the menu. I have tried to fix this using MOUSE_LEAVE but this dosnt work when the mouse button is pressed down. I have attached an FLA, SWF and the AS below.
Code:
stop();
import com.greensock.*;
import com.greensock.easing.*;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
