ActionScript 3.0 :: AddEventListener To Child Object?

Feb 9, 2009

I have entered this code into the first frame of an empty movie that has a MovieClip object that was exported for actionscript. The addChild code works fine, but I am wondering how to add an event in the object that calls a function in the object which will be added to the main stage. In the same way as saying m.onEnterFrame = function {} from AS2

ActionScript 3.0 :: AddEventListener Function References Child In Movieclip. How Do I Stop This?

Jun 28, 2010

I built a custom designed checkBox. The movieclip is in the libary and dragged onto the timeline of my .swf. I'm using CS4 & AS3. I'm using procedural AS3 instead of OO AS3.The checkbox movieclip has a child movieclip inside of it so I can apply a drop shadow filter to some of the graphics .When I put an eventlistener on the custom checkbox it works fine but when I try to reference the checkbox movieclip inside the eventlistener function, the event.target.name is referring to the child movieclip (just a graphic with a drop shadow filter).From my reading it looks like the function propogates down to the child movieclip but I don't want it to do that.How do I reference the parent movieclip? or

B. stop the eventlistener from propogating down to the child movieclip?

I tried using stopPropagation(); but it didn't stop the function event.target.name from trickling down to the child movieclip.Here's what AS3 looks like.The trace statement displays "step3_mc.cbEmail_mc.instance25"instead of what I need "step3_mc.cbEmail_mc"

step3_mc.cbEmail_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fnc_cbClick);step3_mc.cbAgree_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fnc_cbClick);

ActionScript 3.0 :: AddEventListener To Class MovieClip Object

Mar 11, 2010

I have Class MovieClip object that is being added to a scene. Within that Class is this code, which adds a different MovieClip to the original class. I can add an eventListener to the initial Class object (this.addEventListener ... etc), and that will work, yet it does not appear to work if I add it to this embedded object. There is no error, yet the object has no mouse over and does not execute the assigned function of the eventListener.

Here is the code:
b_frond = new BFrond();
addChild(b_frond);
b_frond.buttonMode = true;
b_frond.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

I've also tried:
this.b_frond = new BFrond();
addChild(b_frond);
this.b_frond.buttonMode = true;
this.b_frond.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Listening For Custom Event Dispatched From Parent Object In Child Object?

ActionScript Code:[code]....

So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding A Child To An Object?

Jan 22, 2010

I'm exercising scripting and struggling with adding a child to a object when the creation of the child is wrapped in this function
 
function makeBox():void {var box:Shape = new Shape;box.graphics.beginFill(0x66FF00);box.graphics.lineStyle(5, 0x6600CC);box.graphics.drawRect(mouseX, mouseY, 50, 50);addChild(box);}
 
Now I want to add the above shape as a child to this object
 
var Clip:MovieClip = new MovieClip;addChild(Clip);
 
if the first code was not a finction I have no problem to add the child by  Clip.addChild(box); but I cant figure out how to use it if it is as a function.

Professional :: Child Object Clickable?

Dec 31, 2010

I have added an on click event to a child object which is not always displayed Its pearent object also has on click events. There are two problems.
 
1) Whenever I click on the child object the pearents onclick behavior also runs. I do not want this to happen.
 
2)The child object can be clicked on even if i set its alpha to 0, or set its display property to false or send it to the back of the stage. This means its behavior can be invoked by the user even if it is not visiable I dont want the child object to be clickable when it is not dispayedI dont want the pearent object to be clickable through the child object

ActionScript 3.0 :: Display Object Must Be A Child Of The Caller?

Sep 5, 2009

This is the error I am getting....This is the situation I am using addChild and removeChild. I have two main movieclips that this is based around. workss_mc and work_mc. workss_mc is the slideshow, work_mc is the selection grid. When you click on an object in work_mc I am adding adding a child (workss_mc) and removing work_mc at the same time. That works fine; however, in workss_mc I have a back button, this back button is used to remove works_mc once it is removed it sends you back to work_mc. Once you are back on work_mc everything should work completely the same, however, it's like it's ignoring the code.Here is the code for the button:

Code:
urbanthmb_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(event:Event) {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove Old Child Object And Create New

Sep 7, 2008

I have a web site that creates a page by calling another class object. When I return from that page to the Main page I want the old page removed. I have done it like this but I am getting errors.

Two vars in GlobalVarsContainer:
public static var removePages:Boolean;
public static var pageToRemove:Object;

Create new page object:
function onClickBtn1():void {
var servicesHome:ServicesHome=new ServicesHome();
addChild(servicesHome);
}
[Code] .....

This is the error:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable servicesHome is not defined.
So I know it's getting back here with all vars set correctly. I've tried changing the public static var pageToRemove:Object; to a string but that is not right.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Killing Timer Of A Child Object?

I've got several objects on a stage, each is an instance of a different class. Inside each of those classes is a timer, set to loop (basically refresh) every 5 seconds.Even after removing the instance from the stage and setting it to null, the timers continue in the background. Is there some way I can stop and remove all the timers with an object when I null it, or do I have to do that manually before removing the object?
