I am creating an Action Script .as file and I want to be able to respond to events from a URLLoader.

When I try to run the FLA which calls it it get an error against line 18 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:Event.
What extra line(s) of code do I need?
I created a class with a timer, the timer works but I am having 2 problems, I want it to respond to events on I want to start the timer on MOUSE_LEAVE, and stop it on MOUSE_MOVE so that basically whenever the user removes the mouse from the banner it starts the timer cycle again and when the movie detects the user is interacting with the banner it stops the timer

My animation works in AS3 but wont respond to mouse events I suspect I have bitmaps and have to convert the bitmap to a sprite.I cant do this as yet.

I'm making a Flash game (which is basically a version of the same game), and I've used a tileList for the board populated with movieClip pieces. I would like the pieces to respond to mouseOver, mouseOut, and mouseClick events. From looking at other question/answers, I get the idea I'll need a custom imageCell. Is that the way to go. I was hoping I could get the responses I want by putting the actions into the movieClips themselves as below, but that doesn't seem to work. (btw I'm new to the community but have wound up here several times from Google searches

I want my flash movie to respond to rollover type events for links on my website. The idea being that the flash movie will provide descriptions of the links when moused over, but if the user doesn't have flash the functionality isn't lost. What's the best way to do this (if it's possible)?
View 1 RepliesThis code doesn't do anything when I rolled over...
this.createEmptyMovieClip("logo_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
_root.logo_mc.onRollOver = function(){
trace("rollover!!!");
}
logo_mc.loadMovie("http://www.macromedia.com/images/shared/product_boxes/80x92/studio_flashpro.jpg");

if I attach two movie clips MC1 and MC2 on the stage.MC1 has a simple button also. MC2 is transparent.First I attach the MC1 and then I attach MC2. Both on the stage. So obviously, MC2 is added over the MC1. In this situation, I cannot click the button which is place in the MC1.If Im not wrong, in AS2, if the MC2 is transparent, the button in the MC1 can still respond to the mouse events.
View 1 RepliesI have a banner with big invisible button covering the stage and underneath it I have movieclips which must respond to mouse events. But I can't get through invisible button. I only get button events and cant interact with movieclips underneath it. Here's simple code:
invisibleBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onTopClick);
bottomMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onBottomOver);
function onTopClick(e:MouseEvent):void{

I'm trying to place 5 instances of a horizontal line (mcLine) starting at 78% from the top of the Stage. This all works fine, but I want to be able to have these dynamically created MovieClip instances register mouse events and they don't.First the setup of the mcLine instances:
var nFirstLineY:Number = (Math.round(Stage.height*.78));
var nLineSpace:Number = 22;
var nWaitTime:Number = 1000;[code]...
If I place instances of the mcLine MovieClip on the stage and name them line_1, line_2, etc., the function LineVibrate works, but when I try to add the instances at run time as above, the LineVibrate function stops working.
I'm using the jpgencoder to save a few thumbnails out from flash. The first time I save an image it works just fine, but the second time I try, the image saves but I get absolutely no events fired off from the URLLoader that I'm using with it. If I refresh and try it again, then again it will work once, but not twice. Here is some sample code of what I'm doing:
Code:
var jpgURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("JPEGEncoder.php?path="+path);
var loader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();
jpgURLRequest.contentType = 'application/octet-stream';[code]....
I have an instance of URLLoader that works perfectly on my machine and a number of other machines, but in a few rare cases, regardless of the browser or the flash player version, URLLoader never comes back with any of my callbacks and so the load() method is fired off into the stratosphere and nothing happens beyond that.Curious if anyone else has encountered this and if so how they got around it.[EDIT]Ok... never mind on the "no callbacks are fired". In fact it is firing the SecurityError.SECURITY_ERROR. However, I'm at a total loss as to why it would only fire this on some machines and not on others. Does it have something to do with the user's admin privileges or the browser's security settings? The error is 2170, phaseTwo (whatever that means)
View 3 RepliesIn Adobe AIR 1.5, I'm using URLLoader to upload a video in 1 MB chunks. It uploads 1 MB, waits for the Event.COMPLETE event, and then uploads the next chunk. The server-side code knows how to construct the video from these chunks.
Usually, it works fine. However, sometimes it just stops without throwing any errors or dispatching any events. This is an example of what is shown in a log that I create:
Uploading chunk of size: 1000000
HTTP_RESPONSE_STATUS dispatched: 200
HTTP_STATUS dispatched: 200
Completed chunk 1 of 108

View 1 RepliesI'm using external XML to set flash vars. Alpha works, but not Visibility. How do I get my swf to respond to visibility?
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

So I'd like to get my SWF to respond to the user when they just type a word. For example, when they type "hello" , my SWF does some action.
Most of the stuff I've seen is entering text into a text field and then pressing the Enter key or clicking a button.
What I'd like is to type a secret code word and then some easter egg happens. No button clicks, etc. I thought maybe a key listener but that's only one key, how do I get it to work with a whole word?
How do I listen/respond to a specific cue point by name in AS3?
I have this listener which runs a function as soon as a cue point is reached, but I can't figure out how to run different functions for different cue points.
center_flv.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, interactive);
i have in my program few swf files and using mxmlc i compile the application into one swf file. when i open the swf from the output directory(just dbl click) everything works fine. But, when i copy the directory to another location in the hardisk the application stops responding (i can see my swf main picture and its buttons in it. But, when i click a button which just popup a message, it doesn't work!) Note: any location in my workspace, the swf still works fine. But when moving out the workspace it fails
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create an application simulating a "Console Window". To catch the key strokes I am using Key.getAscii() method. The problem i am having is the code does not respond to ENTER, DELETE, BACKSPACE, PageUP, PageDown keys. I have modified the script several times and been to livedocs aswell, no results.however, a code as simple as:
ActionScript Code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {

/* the following syntax is suppose to respond to any click but its not working.
onClipEvent(mouseDown){
_root.drumroll.play
}
I cannot get a button within an MC on my stage to respond. The MC is 'togglemenu" and the button is 'next_btn'. What am I doing wrong? This is the code:

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.
I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).
I have a sliding scroll bar which responses to the mouses movement (as seen on link). [URL]. How do start to embed buttons within the movie clip so it stops and goes to another animation/movie clip?
View 2 RepliesBasically I have a series of animated movie clips that need to play when they are triggered by a button (button 1)....
(This bit I can do...But the next bit is tricky:
Then, the animated movie needs to rewind, when the button (button 1) is clicked on again, or triggered by clicking another button (button 2). - I have also figured out the rewind part using a movie controller [code]...
Can't get Sprite to respond to custom event
View 3 RepliesI've got an app where numerous Sprite objects are being placed on the stage, and then when an event occurs (mouse click most likely) I want all the Sprites to move, independently, based upon an algorithm that each Sprite has. I can't get the Sprite objects to respond to the event; I get no errors.
Here's my Event class:
package {
import flash.events.Event;
public class MyCustomEvent extends flash.events.Event {
public static const CONTROL_TYPE:String = "moveThem";
