I am trying to make a subclass of flash.display.Loader, which should do something when the loader completes loading the content. So I do addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete) on my loader subclass. But this Eventlistener is never called. Is this supposed to happen? Can't I use an Eventlistener on the class that dispatches the event? My code looks like this: public class MyLoader

I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

I'm trying to setup something like Aspect Oriented Programming in Actionscript 3, basically the only thing I need to be able to do is something like this:
SomeClass.getMethod("methodName").addEventListener(afterMethodExecuted, function() {
//run code
});
This way I can run code after (or before) any method in any class has run, allowing numerous new possibilities.
Is is possible to attach an EventListener to a function? Such that if at any point in a function's execution an Event is Dispatched the EventHandler will get fired?

I have three functions and I want to play them one by one when each of them completes the tasks inside. How can I add an eventlistener to a function to check if it is finished?So the following is the example:

TweenLite.to(container.ideas1, 1, {delay:0.5, x:50, ease:Quart.easeOut});}

View 2 RepliesI want to use tweenlite to tween a navui_mc onto stage when I rollover another mc. Once navui_mc has completed the tween, I want to ad an MOUSE_OUT eventlistener to navui_mc, so that when I mouse off this mc is tweens out.The function call at the end of the tween seems to work as it is tracing that it has completed, but i dont think I can have the eventlistener in a function?

I'm making a class called 'player', and really, I don't need a constructor function for it. Do you just outline the function, but don't put anything between the curly braces? Also, I'm a bit new with access levels. If I wanted my functions from my player class to be accessible from the main class, do I make them public?

I have 40 buttons on the stage. Their names are contained in the Array musicGrid. What I'm trying to do with this code is attach an EventListener to each button so that it will call the function mgMouseBehavior with a parameter to identify the button. For example, I want the button at musicGrid[0] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(0). I want the button at musicGrid[32] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(32), and so on.
However, if you try to add parameters to mgMouseBehavior in the addEventListener, for example:
Code:
musicGrid[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mgMouseBehavior(i));
Then you get Error 2007: Parameter listener must be non-null. How would I accomplish what I'm trying to do?
I'm trying to execute a fucntion by calling it through an event listener I can't call it directly seems to be out of scope or un intialized or something. I've had luck calling variables in this manner but have never tried to call a function. Can I do it through the event?

I have class ShowCase that inherite from my class ContentMC (that inherite from MovieClip). In the class ShowCase I have an EventListner that calls a function in the parent class ContentMC. But I get an error that says "Access of undefined property restoreMenuItem".
This is my eventlistner in ShowCase.as.
showcaseItem.addEventListener("CONTENTMCCLOSED", restoreMenuItem);
Here I get the error, it doesn't find the function restoreMenuItem.
The function restoreMenuItem is in ContenMC and looks like this.
public function restoreMenuItem(evt:Event):void
{
}

I´d like to know how could use the Timer class extended.I´m trying to pass a parameter to the constructor function, so I can use it inside the listener.
Here´s example:
[CODE]
package { import flash.utils.Timer import flash.display.DisplayObject public class ChangeColorTimer extends Timer { public static const CHANGE_COLOR:String = "changeColor"; public var obj:DisplayObject public function ChangeColorTimer(delay:Number, repeatCount:int, obj:DisplayObject ) { super(delay, repeatCount) this.obj = obj } } }
[/CODE]
That was the ChangeColorTimer that extends Timer.Now, I´d want to know how would I use ChangeColorTimer.I thought it was the same as using Timer.I´ve tried this:
[CODE]
public function changeColor(mc:MovieClip):void { var colorTransform:ColorTransform = new ColorTransform() colorTransform.color = 0xEE0000 mc.transform.colorTransform = colorTransform var changeColorTimer:ChangeColorTimer = new ChangeColorTimer(400, 1, mc) changeColorTimer.addEventListener(ChangeColorTimer.CHANGE_COLOR, setNormalColorListener) changeColorTimer.start() } private function setNormalColorListener(e:Event):void{ trace("called") }
[/CODE]
I called changeColor, but, I don´t get "called" in the output from the setNormalColorListener listener.
is it possible to get the name of a calling function or the constructor from the called function? is it possible to determine the previous function of the thread?
i would like to call some setter functions from my constructor and have my setter functions determine if it was the constructor that called them.
currently, i'm setting a boolean for this functionality, but perhaps there is another way?

View 1 RepliesI have a series values I'm passing (from an FLA) into the constructor of a class. I just want to make clear in my mind that, the only way to pass the variable params, to the function nowDoThis, you'll need a dispatchEvent or a custom event to send it along ?
As an example:
Code:
// constructor
public function MyFunction(_param1:uint, _param2:uint, _param3:uint) {
param1 = _param1;
param2 = _param2;

I have only a vague understanding of using objects and dispatch events. Isn't this something that people need to do all the time?
