I want to do something quite simple, but am new to AS3 and the changes since AS2.I want to click a button (play_btn)Then when this happens it opens a SWF (movie.swf) into a placeholder (placeholder_mc) onto the stage. That's it!
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, placeholder_mc);
function placeholder_mc(event:MouseEvent):void{
trace("pressed");
loader.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));
}
camera.addEventListener( ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY, onTriggerRecordStart );
Or do I make sure that the above script is only called once?
UPDATE
Can I register two different functions to the same event?
What's the difference between calling a method on a stage object and my own object ?
For example:
myCarRectangleShape.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doit);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, doitagain);
Let's suppose I compile the class X that extends Sprite
and myCarRectangleShape is also a sprite object
For some reason I can't add event listeners.. I've searched the error but people say it's due to having the addEventListener outside of a function. However mine is inside the constructor!

I'm creating an interactive map for a final project, and I'm terrible at coding. My code is returning a lot of "Access of undefined property" of buttons, and "Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class".I have movie clips that are boxes that are supposed to animate over the map when a button is clicked on, and they have buttons inside of them that have boxes that are supposed to replace the one that is on screen when clicked.

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to add an event listener to the end of a motion tween in AS.
I've created a tween, highlighted the frames, right clicked and copied the tween as AS and pasted it into the movie clip (I think there's a better way to do this, but I'm not sure what it is...)
When I try to add the listener to the end of that code, I get the error. Here's my code.
import fl.motion.AnimatorFactory;
import fl.motion.MotionBase;
import fl.motion.Motion;
import flash.filters.*;
[Code].....
I've tried a few places for it, both with the animFactory_Enemy_3 variable and the motion_Enemy_3 variable - getting the same error both times.
I created a simple button that I imported into the stage that I named and saved it as Microwave_btn and I wrote a simple script for it that says:
stop();
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[code]...
The properties for the Microwave_btn has the class labeled as: Microwave_btn and the Base class as: flash.display.SimpleButton. When I test the movie I get this error:1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class.
I try to make working an XML loader from a custom class on a new var, but when I add an Event listener it tells me this:
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type XMLLoadData.
This is the code I have on the stage:
Code:
var xmlLoad: XMLLoadData = new XMLLoadData("navigation.xml"); //load the xml file
xmlLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete); // execute onComplete once the xmlLoad is fully loaded
function onComplete(e:Event):void{
//
}
and this is the code of my custom class XMLLoadData
Code:
package{
import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;
[code]....
If I remove the listener on line 2 from stage, it working, but all my code execute the wrong way because the XML is not fully loaded.

i have some actionscript that makes a
ExternalInterface.call('someFunction');
call.is it possible to reference the html object that made the call to someFunction directly using the ExternalInterface.call call?
Assume that the object that makes the call also has some Callbacks (via ExternalInterface.addCallback) that are accessible via javascript.
Currently:
Actionscript source
ExternalInterface.call("someFunction");
ExternalInterface.addCallback("someCallback",someASfunction);

I'm trying to use ExternalInterface.Call to call a JavaScript function to launch a lightbox window. So far I have this:
AS3:
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("launchLB", "" + aUrl + "");
JavaScript:
function launchLB(url) {
alert(url);
[Code]....
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
I'm trying to get the AS3 Flash remoting example found here: [URL]. and I keep getting this error: Code: Select allError #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetConnection.Call.BadVersion at amfphp1_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() Here's the code I'm trying:

I'm having trouble simulating a click call to a button(displayObject) thats generated via an API call( youtube as3 API). I have not seen any mention of security reasons as to why I can not simulate a click as long as something is registered with a click handler. Basically I checked to make sure the button made is listening to a mouse click event with:
trace(generatedButton.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK)) which returns true
I proceed to than call this:
generatedButton.dispatchEvent( new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK, true) );
And nothing happens yet if I physically click the button it works. Is there some security measure that prevents something from being fake clicked unless its origin is strictly from the system mouse?
I even set a timeout call on the click function and moved my cursor over the button and let it fire in case it was an issue of the mouse having to over the object but still nothing. I am kind of stumped at this point.
I have an enterFrame action that I use on a graphic:
[Code]....
Because I want to use the above code more than a few times, I tried to make it a function.
[Code]....
But for some reason the function call does not work when I call it via an action on a graphic where initially the code worked when it was explicitly written and not called as a function.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
fadeOut();
}
I am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
Can someone please help. I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.

Is there any way to add an eventListener to a variable that listenes for if it change value?
View 2 RepliesIf in a situation, the addEventListener is being assigned more than once for same actionwhat will happen then? Suppose on frame 5 there is ample_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK...... ... and when user navigates the application/site it comes on frame 5 again and again. Will the addEventListener be applied more than once on that button? If yes then what will happen on clicking on that button? will the associated function be called more than once now?
View 5 RepliesI have made the flash file into CS3 and simplified the idea a bit. Basically I want to click the box on the right to start playing the song and the spectrum and then if I click it again it will stop playing the song and the spectrum then if I click it again it will start playing again ect ect. I could not upload the song.mp3 cause the file size was too big you will have to replace it with another mp3 in the root of the folder and name the mp3 song.mp3.
View 3 Replieswhy this is not working.I have an application with a new class I just created. The class loads, but will not call it's own internal function.
package com.parkerandkent.components.classic.photogallery {
import caurina.transitions.Tweener;

"Test 2" will not fire here.And I get this error message:
CallTag.as , Line 10 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method init.
I need to get a javascript var in my Flash application. I like to be able to just set a variable in the javascript (client constraints) rather than define a function.
Can this be done? I am trying to use the ExternalInterface.call()
AS:
ExternalInterface.call("function(){return window.someVar}", null);
JS:
var someVar = "Test";
This does not work and I suspect it is because the ExternalInterface.call() does not like the anonymous function.
I have a function defined in JavaScript like so:
function fadeBack() {
alert("fadeBack called");
};
I call that function from my Flash file like so:
import flash.external.*;
flash.external.ExternalInterface.call("fadeBack");
This works in both Safari and Chrome, but for some reason Firefox won't ever call the function. Still, I can't figure this out. How can I fix it?
Does anyone know if there is a way to call a dispatchEvent call from inside of a static function?

View 1 RepliesI have created a scrolling bar menu. All the buttons in the menu work except for the last two. When I place a trace statement within the function it definitely is listening to all the buttons except for the last two. All instances are named correctly. Can the size of the scroller be contributing to why the addEventListener is not working?

I have this map I'm creating in Flash. You click on a state, then you can click on an icon to view a tooltip/popup of some information.

View 1 RepliesI currently have a .swf file that is nested into another .swf file. In the parent SWF file I use a UILoader to load the other .swf file. uiLoader.source = "data/child.swf";- In the child SWF file I have stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyPressedDown); and when I run it on it's own, it works perfectly; but when I run child.swf through parent.swf stage.addEvent... give me a null reference exception. Is the stage part of what is causing the issue?, and if so, is there a way to fix this?
