Textfield.htmlText text link doesn't receive mouse events underneath sprite

How can textField receive mouse events if the sprite on top has to be mouseEnabled also?
I have a Sprite which is a child of a Flex object, and acts as the main "game window". So during game-play it should get keyboard input but at other times not. When I add a keyboard listener to it, it never fires.
Do I need to stop parent objects 'eating' the events somehow, or something similar? I get the same thing with mouse-wheel events, but mouse-click events are fine. Sprite doesn't seem to have the concept of focus unless I missed it.
More generally in this kind of approach, are there any suggestions on the best way? For instance some keys might still be needed to be intercepted before getting to the game-window, like ESC or F1 or something... the aim is the game-window isn't aware of other UI.
I am trying to get the textfiled of the datagrid to be big enough to fit long names, i have tried lots of different things, from applying a cellrenderer and making the textfiled wider which worked in away because you can see all the text. and the column itself has a minwidth. But the box behind does not change. How do i get access to it to make it wider?
View 8 Replieshow can you pass a value from timer to textfiled so that they add to each other i.e: on timer we have 12 we click we have in textfield value 12, next we have on our timer 24 after we click in textfield we have 36 and so on
View 1 RepliesI have several textfileds in a movie clip and I want to change text in a textfiled depending on which textfield you have clicked on. So if I have clicked on at textfiled named "text1" i want:
[Code]...
And then will text1 have the same text as "inputfield", but this dosen't seems to work only if you had a textfield called "textvariable" but that is not what I want. So any ideas how you can make this function?
i have one input text Field in Login screen in which i want to set default focus. for this purpose i use stage.focus = textFiled, its working fine when i run swf into Flash IDE but when swf integrate with java (in Jar file format) on other word when i run java environment, default focus is not set on input textFiled. when i click on textField its working fine.

View 4 RepliesI would like to know is that possible to change Input textfiled cursor in Flash.
For e.g I have DOS screen in Flash and hence I want to show input textfiled cursor as like Dos screen cursor to user for his entry.
am using AS3 and i have one dynamic text filed. The properties
-Fontname "verdana"
-size "14"
-style "Bold"
it is shown the correct font in BOLD if there is no value.It will not show the correct font properties am not getting the bold style :(
how can i restrict the number of characters in dynamic textfiled?and do empty spaces count?

My code is correct, the code compiles (as you can see), it works fine in safari, but firefox 3.6 it up - it does NOT happen in 3.5.8!
I now have working code that creates a mask of about 2,700 children on a 650 by 450 image using a container to hold all the children's MCs.
Can anyone provide any help as to how I can access these children at once with a MouseEvent so that I could for instance change the alpha value of a child shape when the user rolls over it with their mouse.
I have a flash AS3 doc and some classes that I created. On one of the classes, it creats a sprite that may have a scroll bar, (which i also made - not the UIScrollBar component). This uses the MOUSE_DOWN event for scrolling.
On some other classes, there are some objects that use the MOUSE_OVER event.
The problem I have, is that if you click and hold the mouse button to begin scrolling, then move the cursor outside of this Movie Clip onto another with the MOUSE_OVER event, then that event will still fire. Also, if you MOUSE_UP and you are outside the Movie Clip (with the scrollbar) then the MOUSE_UP event does NOT fire, and the scrolling is "locked" on until you click inside that moive clip.
How can I prevent mouse events on objects from firing when the MOUSE_DOWN event is firing for scrolling? Also, how can I make it so the MOUSE_UP event will fire no matter where on the stage the mouse cursor is.
I can't seem to figure it out because the MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_OVER for the different objects have the eventListeners created in different classes.
I have some code that draws a line that follows the mouse and fades away over time, until now it was in the main file of my program but i want to make a class out of it for later use in other programs. I edited the code into a singleton MouseHandler class with one function that registers the mouse up and down events; with trace and 'hasEventListener' I found out that the events are registered but nothing happens when I press my mouse buttons.
Here is the class
package {
import adobe.utils.ProductManager;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code] .....
In my main class I just use
MouseHandler.getInstance().startListening(this);
I have a special canvas class covering my entire stage, and a bunch of Sprite hotspots on the layer below. If I put the hotspots on the same layer as my canvas, the canvas does not register MOUSE_DOWN events if my mouse is inside one of the hotspots, since the hotspots are targeted instead. However, if I keep the hotspots on the lower layer, the canvas handles all the MouseEvents. Is there any way to make MouseEvents target more than one thing, so that both the canvas and hotspots respond to MouseEvents? (The canvas is a bitmap drawing class and the hotspots are supposed to trigger when the cursor touches them or clicks on them.)
View 2 Repliesfrom the actionscript language reference in mx2004:
on()

Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2.
Usage
on(mouseEvent) {
// your statements here
}
Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2. <---- !!! which ones aren't supported? i couldn't find this in the AS2 docs anywhere.
and would this mean the same thing for this usage?
target.onMouseEvent = function(){
}
I made a spiral in pv3d using a mc for material and added a listener for the mouse events.Now the problem is that when i rollover my mc the rollover tween start and directly start the roll out tween.The clickhandler is rendered useless.So before adding tweenlite to the class everything works fine?
View 2 RepliesWhen I have a Label on a Sprite for example, it doesn't respond to MouseEvents, or at least not correctly. For example, if I set buttonMode = true on the Sprite, the label won't have the clicking cursor. Is there a work around for this? Other than stacking another Sprite on top of it which seems very inefficient.
View 3 RepliesI was just wondering if there are any problems that could arise from passing MouseEvents of different types (i.e. MouseEvent.CLICK or MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN) at different times to the same function? I've already built my project, and it seems to function fine, I just want to make sure that I'm not setting myself up for some problems in the future. I understand it's probably not the "cleanest" or "best practice" to construct my project in this manner, but if it works...
A simplified example:
PHP Code:
// This is the function that I want to call from varying places with different MouseEvents and triggered by different event listeners
function myFunctionA(evt:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
Actually, in writing that, I may have answered my own question, because it seems that myFunctionA is simply expecting a MouseEvent... regardless if that event is CLICK or MOUSE_DOWN or MOUSE_UP event, right? Now, a MouseEvent.CLICK may have different properties than a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP that I can access within myFunctionA; however, that shouldn't matter to the function, or is my thinking flawed?
been working for while in an AS3 project. realize now that any InteractiveObject on key tab focus doesnt invoke its MouseEvents, MOUSE_OVER AND MOUSE_OUT listeners. I know this is not suppose to happen automatically but in AS2 I would define at beginning of project a prototype action on MovieClip that it should rollover when on setFocus.Is there a way for me to set on the entire project that any InteractiveObject on key tab focus should invoke its MouseEvents if they exist?
View 2 RepliesI would like to know how to compose a click mouseevent of different objects in one listener, if ever that's possible.What I wanted to do is make this listener universal for all the button clicks like:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicker);
function clicker (e:MouseEvent):void{
if (frame2_btn is clicked){
gotoAndPlay(3);
[code]....
I have some textfield buttons which is basically textfields in sprites.The problem is that the textfields/sprites responding to MouseEvents properly.
eg. the alpha and rotation property doesn't work.
if I say set text button to alpha = 0 on mouse over it does nothing, or if i say set rotation to 180, the text button just disappears.
Has it got something to do with embedding fonts?and why when I embed my fonts do they not show?
I'm using a ScrollPane to contain a listing of sentences that sometimes have links in them. When the user clicks the links it does something.
When I don't put these inside of the ScrollPane the links work. When I put them in there apparently the ScrollPane is blocking the MouseEvents, or maybe it doesnt really register them since I don't know how setting the content works (if it adds the content as a child or draws it as a Bitmap inside or what)
I'm trying to rework an example found in the AS3 PDF manual, to work without the initial mouse click, but I'm not sure what to do.
The example is as follows (found on page 304 if you have the PDF) - I have changed it to move instead of fade, but didn't change the name of the function:

I made a very simple scrollBar using the MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN event, which works fine. The problem is I have a few other obejcts that have MouseEvent.Mouse_OVER events, and so if you are dragging the scroll bar, and then move it over one of the objects, the Mouse_OVER event fires. Is there a way to prevent this?
View 2 RepliesI had a dynamically created list of MCs that each had rollover states as well as click actions. Everything was working fine...
...Since the list was longer than the bounding areas that I wanted it constrained to, I added a mask to the container MC that was holding the dynamically created list (using AS3 - not through right-clicking the Layers). Now the list is still being generated, but the CLICK and MOUSE_OVER events are not working.
I'm building an air app which will run on iPads. For the touch interaction I'm using just MouseEvents handlers (MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_MOVE, MOUSE_OUT, MOUSE_UP) because my app don't need multitouch, now I'm wondering if there is any difference in execution speed, should I use the equivalent touch events or the mouse events are faster?
View 2 RepliesI am plain stumped. I am working in F8/as2.0.I have a class that extends the MovieClip class. I have a blank_mc in the library that is linked to the class. Here is the constructor:
ActionScript Code:
public function MyMC (target_mc:MovieClip){
var _mc:MovieClip = this;
_mc = target_mc.attachMovie (.....);
}
That works all fine and dandy. Where I am having issues is basically I have properties x, y that DON't overwrite the _mc's _x & _y props. Instead, the use getter & setters that take values and then calculate the needed number to set the actuall _mc._x, _y props. This doesn't seem to work at all and i don't know why. Here is the code:
[Code]
So I got this to work by NOT extending the MC. Instead I have a variable ref to a _mc prop in the class.However I am unable to set event functions to it even if I make some ref to the _mc prop. Is there a good way of approaching this by say a decorator pattern?
I have a panel as a sprite containing a gallery of images (only 8 images at the moment!). Each image has mouse rollOver and mouse click event listeners, which work fine initially. Problem is, when I hide the panel using visible = false, then show it again, the mouseEvents aren't firing on the gallery iimages.
Strangely, the same thing happens if instead of using visible true/false, I move the panel off stage and then back on again.
I created a class, extended the sprite class, and now in the constructor I am trying to set the Sprite's width and height properties which are inherited from the DisplayObject. However, after I set this.width and this.height, and print the values, I get 0 for both.
What the heck is going on? When I view the livedocs I see that DisplayObject has width and height listed as public properties. I have been able to instantiate a Sprite directly, and set the width and height after it's been instantiated, so I don't get it.

import flash.display.*;
