I am dispatching an event and I would like to add a parameter to the event. Is that possible? The event I have is dispatched like this: dispatchEvent(new Event(CuePoints.TIME_IN, true));and gets listened to like this:
cues.addEventListener(CuePoints.TIME_IN, addDefLink); How can I add a parameter to this? Or would this be done differently? All I want is a uint that gets sent with it each time the event gets dispatched.
Forgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.
The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.
The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.
I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.
I have tried things like
Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);
but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."
I have a form with a search field. When user press enter key, I use httpservice to send a query to mySQL database. In some case (a lot) there are several record, so a new window is opening to show those record with a datagrid to let user chose the good result.
My problem is how to send selected information to the first window (with text field). I gess that dispatch event is the way but I don't found how to use
In actionscript3 how do i pass an parameter with an event call. when i use dispatch.

The following code is how you call a function with an event listener. There is a disadvantage to this however: you can -only- call loginCheck with a MouseEvent. If I want to call the function through code, I can't just write loginCheck(); and have it work.
[Code]...
But I have always wondered if there was a way to run a function with a MouseEvent parameter through code. Is there any way to fake a MouseEvent and send it as a parameter to the function?
I'm new to ActionScript and have a fairly basic question. I want an eventlistener to call a function and pass it a parameter that will send the movie to a specific frame. My code generates and invalid parameter type error. It's as follows:
TL_AboutUs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, DropSubMenu(10)); // calls a function to drop a sub menu
function DropSubMenu(sm:number)
{ gotoAndPlay(sm);}
Error is "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: number."
I'm using an HTTP request to download a image in binary format. When the downloading is complete, I want to process it, but I also want to pass the image's ID to the complete handler function.
[Code]...
What is the difference between :
giving a function reference in the result attribute of the HTTPService class like this :
protected function httpserviceCheckUpdate_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
var version:Number = event.result.text.version as Number;[code]....
If both of them are same then how can I provide the event parameter using the second approach (as written in the result attribute of the httpservice class)? Which one of them is the better way of doing things in FLEX.
For example:
for(var i:int=0; i<someArray.length; i++)
{
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://testurl.com/test.jpg"));
[Code]....
The second paramter (i) for imageLoaded is always 1, I guess because i no longer exists and is defaulting to 1. Is it possible to get that second paramter to be evaluated when the load is started rather than on complete?
Is this possible? I have looked around but I can't really find anything.
View 3 RepliesCan we skip an optional parameter and assign value to the parameter after the skipped one?
For example I have a function:
public function Dialog(message:String,title:String="Note",dialogsize:int=99):void
{
}
I can easily call the function with a message and a title:
Dialog("HELLO","Intro");
Is there a way to skip the title and just pass in the dialogsize? I've tried it but can't make it work:
Dialog("HELLO",,dialogsize);
Is it possible to skip some optional parameters without using (rest) parameter?
this is the error I am having:

View 2 RepliesI have a custom class being constructed from my main class. In the custom class it has another custom class that is passed in as a parameter. I would like to strictly type the parameter variable but when I do, 'the type is not a compile type constant etc'.This, I understand, is because the custom class used as a parameter has not yet been constructed.It all works when I use the variable type ( * ) to type the parameter.I suspect this is a design flaw, in that I am using an incorrect design pattern.It is actually hand-me-down code, having received a large project from someone else who is not entirely familiar with oop concepts and design patterns.
I have considered using a dummy constructor for the parametered class in my main class but the passed in class also takes a custom class (itself with a parametered constructor). I am considering using ... (rest) so that the custom classes' parameters are optional.Is there any other way to control the order of construction of classes? Would the rest variables work?edit)in main.as within the constructor or another function

I have editable grids which are 2-way binded to my model. What I want is to validate my data when user edits any cell before it get updated in model. I have applied my validation at ItemEditEnd handler, but, I want to apply validation in between itemEditBegin and itemEditEnd events.
View 1 RepliesI hava a custom component and it contains a child icon. If I add a mouse-click event listener to both component(click-listener1) and icon(click-listener2), the event dispatched sequence is click-listener2, then click-listener1. I can understand it. But if I add a custom event to component (listener1), and mouse-click event to icon(listener2), when icon is clicked, the component will dispatch the custom event. In my test, the event dispatched sequence is listener1, then listener2. It doesn't match with event-bubbles rule.
In my opinion The custom event is dispatched in listener2, which triggers listener1. Why event flow sequence is not listener2, listener1?
In component.

I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.

View 1 RepliesCS4 was working fine for a few weeks, then yesterday I opened an FLA and got an error pop-up that said "Parameter is Incorrect". The error happened for all FLA files. I could save changes but could not preveiw or publish (same Parameter is Incorrect error as on starting CS4). I even made a blank FLA and it wouldn't work either.
Relized today during more testing that this error only happens any time I open a file that is on my desktop (running XP). Same file moved into another folder (Even desktop ewfolder) works fine.

If I were to access the attributes or methods of the shared object, can I use the 'name' instead of the variable, since the name is the 'name of the shared object'?
