I've got a movieclip on my stage that contains a scrollbar and a few buttons.I have a function that rotates the uses _mc.rotationX=10;After an interval the function uses _mc.rotationX=0;After the movieclip has be rotated back to its original position the scrollbar and buttons no longer receive mouse events.[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a base ShapeContainer(UIComponent). I add a uicomponent which has mouse down listener to ShapeContainer. the listener works great. When I add a simple sprite(draw square) on the ShapeContainer, The listener does not work any more. In the code, if I comment below line, The event listener works fine.

TextFiled is not receiving mouseEvents, coz of the sprite on top:

Banner ads have buttons that ad serving systems use the following syntax to dynamically assign a URL.[code]The clicktag button covers the stage (ad size) and prevents other mouse events like panning. Are there any hacks to get around this? I have a FLA that uses the following AS but the mandatory click tage button disables it the panning functionality.[code]
View 1 RepliesWhat I make usually is have an array and set different levels of mouse blocking.
Example:
I have the menu, the contents, and lets say something else that appears on top of everything called animation.
mouse_block = new array(false,false,false)
The first false corresponds to the menu, the second to the contents, etc.
So, I check on every clickable mc if their level is false or true.
on(press){
if(mouse_block[1]){
//do what ever it is suposed to do
[Code].....
My problem is that I need to write that on every movieclip...
Can you point me a way of optimizing this?
I thought of using the prototype, but from what I know you can only create new methods an properties.
Is there a way of modifying the mouse events like onPress or onRollOver?.... or create your own mouse events using those as a starting point?
I'm developing a web site which needs animation for buttons in the Mouse_over and Mouse_out state.[code]...
What i want to do is change the red text which is the button to be animated for a variable which gets the name of the button in which the mouse event is taking place. This way i dont have to do a function for each button. [code]...
I am trying to work out how to do something really hard and i think the only way that I can do it is to pass a timer an argument. I want to create a class that moves buttons to the right on mouse over, and moves them back on roll out. But I am trying to make a sort of easing effect in action script. The last movement should be 1 pixel, the second to last move 2 pixels, the third to last be 3 pixels etc.
The class will have a variable that stores the original x coordinate and the desired resting coordinate for the button on roll over. on roll over, the script calculates the number of pixels between where it is and the destination, or on roll out, it would calculate the number of pixels from its current position to the original position. Then it would use that number to do the following calculation:
while(numPix>countPix){
count++
countPix+=count
} this.x=destinationX-countPix /*or + count pix depending on weather its moving to the right or left*/
while(count>0) {
this.x+=count /*or -= if moving back*/
count--
/*timer would elapse here*/
}
So u see, it counts the number of pixels it needs to move, then it counts the number of increments (count) it needs to move between timers for this sort of easing motion. I just don't know how to implement this in actionscript
I have 30 buttons called thumb01 to thumb30. I have created this functions so when hover over and hover out of the one of the buttons it changes colour. I would like to use this for all my 30 buttons, but I dont want ot write the same code 30 times. Is there a way to for example to use wildcards so I can write thumbxx and address all the buttons.
var col:Color = new Color();
col.setTint(0xFFFFFF, 0.5);
set1_mc.thumb01_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hoverOver);
function hooverOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
set1_mc.thumb01_btn.transform.colorTransform = col;
} set1_mc.thumb01_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,hoverOut);
function hooverOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
set1_mc.thumb01_btn.transform.colorTransform= new ColorTransform()
}
I want to build a simple web 2.0 collaborative website using asp.net MVC2 or Flash and I want to receive events from a web based interface to a desktop AIR application. For e.g, someone makes a comment on a blog post, I want that information to be passed on to a desktop air application showing that a new comment has been made. What would be a good technique to receive asynchronous events?

As you see, I try to make my HorizontalList focused when application is loaded. And I actually receive Received focus message in console. But I expected that I would be able to navigate over list elements with arrow keys after setting focus. But that's not the case. They work only after clicking component with mouse. How to make list have focus and respond to arrow keys?
I'm considering using Adobe Air to write an application for the android marketplace.I was wondering if anyone could tell me what (if any) the limitations are with regard to getting / handling system events.For instance can you pause the app if the user receives a text message?Or detect if they have their music playing and mute your app's sounds?It would seem a real pity if Air cannot do this.
View 1 RepliesRight now all the sounds (78 of them) on my guitar play using the roll_over event but that doesn't give the user much control over what sound is played.
The actionscript im using to play my sounds is this;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++){
buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonRolledOver);
}
[Code]....
What i want to do is only play a sound with the roll_over event when the left click is held down.
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).
The site I'm building has seperate swf's for each page...and I have the external swfs loading into the site. But my problem is that when I am on one of the external swf pages that has been loaded, and it has buttons on it, none of these buttons work. They work when I test the swf by itself, but once my main movie loads the swf into the site, the buttons within the swf no longer work.
View 1 RepliesVery strange thing has happened. I've had this site running fine for over a year, and recently I have discovered that the buttons that go to external URLs do not work.All of the buttons should be going to another .php file, and they have been until discovered yesterday that they do not.If you go to the .swf file directly, you will see that the navigation buttons take you to the correct .php files, but it becomes unclickable when it's in index.php.VERY strange... but then when you go back to index.php, and click the php active hyperlink "Gum Drops" at the bottom of the page, you'll get taken to the php page... and then all of a sudden the navigation, and all flash links to URLs work!
View 2 RepliesI need to create a workaround for a button issue. I don't know how to have one button created by one class send a click event to another item created in a different class
Therefore, I'd like to place both of my buttons on top of one another, alpha one of them out and have both buttons receive the same click.
I've decided to add keyboard capabilities to my program. All my functions I have written require a mouse event to be passed to them. I'm just wondering if there is a better way to run these mouse event functions rather than to take out the contents of these functions and create a new function that is called within a mouse event function OR a keyboard event function. What I mean is I am starting to change the mouse event functions I have to only have one line inside of them which will run a separate function. This same separate function I will run using a keyboard input as well.
View 3 RepliesI have an instance of a movie clip on the stage that jumps to different labels (within the movieclip) when the large buttons at the top of the scene are in rollover state. The problem is that it stays there when the mouse leaves the button.
How do I make that symbol go back to frame one (not there) within the movie clip so that it disappears when there is no activity on the buttons?
Is there a button parameter like MOUSE_OFF (I know that's not one)?
I'm trying to develop a simple mxml Flex application to start Skype from the AIR/Flashplayer runtime. Is it possible to get back events from a native Windows application? In the simple example of Skype, the OS returns control to the Flex app when Skype exits. But what about native applications which have their own event model and wants to communicate with the Flex event model. For example, a Face detection system which shows "Hello" on a Flex app when the camera detects a face. Can this be done in the current Flex framework?
View 1 RepliesIn a project i'm doing I have a custom cursor, using the start drag command and mouse.hide. the issue being that the movieclip being dragged is blocking the mouse from initiation mouse events properly.
View 3 RepliesI have a movie clip I am using as a button (instance name btn1) and I added an event listener to it (using the following line): btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, animate1); the function "animate1" triggers some small animation when the mouse is over the movieclip. my problem is that the animation is triggered both on mouse over and mouse out events.
View 5 RepliesIt has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)
View 1 RepliesI have a menu drawer at the edge of the screen that shows when the user rolls the mouse over it, but if the user overshoots it an moves the cursor slightly outside the browser window this is unfortunenatly registered as a mouse out.
I want to stop this by using event.MOUSE_LEAVE, but i need to use it as a condition not to triger a "leaveHandler".
why i am getting spurious mouse_out events when moving the mouse down or right but not up or left over a Sprite?
View 3 RepliesI am looking to provide some UI functionality using the mouse- I have two distinct UI events to be achieved via mouse
a) change value
b) delete object
I don't seem to have sufficient mouseclick events for both. I am avoiding using the right click as it has some default options(whose signing off will affect the whole project- not just this). I have mouse click used for change value- how do I use the doubleclick as the single-click events seems to get invoked prior?
I have a movie. In it are some buttons and a dynamic text field. When I press the buttons is should load text from a database into the dynamic text field. If I run the movie by itself (ie. not by LoadMovie()-ing it into a different movie) the dynamic text field gets filled with text and all is well and good. However, when I use LoadMovie() to load this very same movie into my main movie, the buttons no longer work; the text field stays empty.

The title pretty much sums up what I am trying to do: I haven't started digging into using script in Flash yet, still being very much a beginner.
I created a simple file using movie clips nested in buttons so that when I mouseover a letter, it bobs up and down, but I can't work out how to make it return to its original "up" state *smoothly* when the mouse is moved away. If it must involve script please be aware I am a total noob!
I am using Flash CS4 with ActionScript 3 and I am fairly new at it. I am struggling with two things.
1. How can I start a movie clip while scrolling over a button? I know how to start a movie clip when a button is clicked.
2. How can I use multiple movie clips for seperate buttons?

I used to play around with flash during the early days of action script 1.but now i can't seem to find my way around it. Used to be able to add the script to the button itself.[code]what I want to do is to have a toggle button show and hidethe objects on the movie.
