How can I pass more than one argument with a listener ?
ActionScript Code:
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, myMethodName);
I would like to have
myMethodName(my parameter);
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'm trying to call a function in frame 1 of my SWF and also pass it a parameter.
I need to do this from elsewhere on the embedding HTML page using JavaScript.
For example call the function flashFunction(foo);
Does this require a listener in Flash that listens for the call, excepts "foo" and then calls the flashFunction and passes "foo" to it?
Can this be called directly without a listener?
if have a prototype like this

I'm having a problem in flex 3 where if a static const I have defined is used as the parameter to a function call within binding tags I get a "1120: Access of undefined property NodePropertyMatrix". _propMtx is a ArrayCollection.

View 1 RepliesSo I have an event listener, and I call a function from it.. but I want to pass some variables along with it as well.Is that possible?
View 10 RepliesSay I have the following function
Code:
function myVideoFunction(event:VideoEvent):void {
do some stuff....
}
but i want to call it from the event listener
Code: button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,myVideoFunction);
I cant because it runs off a VideoEvent, not a MouseEvent.The obvious work around is to copy and paste the function and rename this part, or alternativly just make a function such as:
Code:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,callMyVideoFunction);
function callMyVideoFunction (event:MouseEvent) {
myVideoFunction(null);[code].....
The keyBoard event listeners call on the rotate and unrotate functions and based on the key inputs(A and D) will implement either of the functions and rotate the image or return it to the original upright position. However, I haven't been able to get the function to work. When I press the A or D keys on the keyboard nothing happens. I even put trace() in one of the functions to see if the function will even be implemented but I don't get anything. I put in my Scripts below. Why are the functions not working? Do the eventlisteners fire or are there conflicts? I'm not getting any error messages.
ti.border = true
ti.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, onInput);
function onInput(event:TextEvent):void {
if(ti.text.search('a')!=-1) load_image("http://i54.tinypic.com/anom5d.png", "ottefct");

I am loading 5 images using "for loop" and I have created the listener and if the images completes the loading, the function is called. Now, I need is the name of the "image" which is loaded on each five images gets completed.
[Code]...
in the output it is throwing as "[object LoaderInfo]". Now i need is the name of the "Image", inside the thumbnail_load function, that means, which image loading is completed.
I want to call a function from another function's parameter but I don't know how and don't know if it is possible.I've considered this as a solution but it didn't worked.
Code:
function myFunc(target_mc:MovieClip, nX:Number, nY:Number, cFunc:Function) {
target_mc._x += nX;
targen_mc._y += nY;
target_mc.onPress = cFunc;

So as you see in your test-run the first two calls work fine, the one that calls a function that takes no parameters and the one that takes one parameter. The problem is when I need to pass more than one parameter! Solving the issue: Well, I know it'd be solved if I could simply retain the ...args as is, and pass it on to the this.m_function.call call. Another way, maybe is to have some sort of a foreach loop which would feed the designated ...args when the time comes, yet again, how would I refer/pass it?
I need to Automate the Page flip where the user has no control. Make it into an animation per say. I know it can be done. But I can't seem to figure out how. I can make just the first page. But I can't make it keep going. You guys know what I'm talking about right?[URL] Here's the code and notes...

I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?

We are getting ready to start trying to convert our older content to AS3.To this end, I have been trying to develop what I though would be a relatively simple. It just an attempt at an adaptable mc button class that my animators and designers can kind of "plug and play" so I can spread out some of the workload.I keep getting "Error 2007 Parameter listener must be non-null". I understand why its throwing an error. simplified block:

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."
The slideshow its referring to is a something I purchased online and is embedded into my movie.Does it mean I need to put and onComplete function on the page thats loading this? Is it for the xml or the slideshow movie?

I have a question about AS3. I'm new to coding/scripting/AS3/Flash, so I'm sure that I am making some rookie mistakes.

I'm using the manmachine updated RPC classes to make a web service call. Currently it only allows you to call a web service method by a given specific name - ie
var token1:AsyncToken = service.myRemoteMethodName();
I've two questions about this:
a) firstly the function this call is in is written as such:
Code:
public function callService():void { }
I want to be able to pass in a method name string as a param which is then used as a dynamic method to look at on the remote server. ie
Code:
public function callService(method:String):void {
}
how do I assign this param to the service. call?
var token1:AsyncToken = service. (param goes here somehow)
b) second question is I'm assuming if I can pass one param, I can pass another if the web service at the other end is set up to receive one? eg
Code:
public function callService(myMethod:String, data:XML) {
var token1:AsyncToken = service.myMethod(data);
}
In actionscript3 how do i pass an parameter with an event call. when i use dispatch.
like dispatchEvent(new Event("Loaded", myvariable));
I'm having some trouble passing parameters with a function that is itself being passed as a parameter.In my application code I'm instancing that class five times:they are buttons in a menu.In that class, I've got an onRelease handler that does a number of things when a button is released, one of which is to invoke a function that is defined in the application level of the code.My problem is that I don't know how to send the function parameters.In my StandardButton class I have:
class StandardButton extends MovieClip
{
/* define properties */[code]..........
The function is successfully being "sent" to the StandardButton class, but without any parameters.How can I send parameters to the class instance with the way I've got this architected.
i have a function that receives a function as a parameter. example:
function foo(bar:Function):void() {};
how can i set a default value for the function to be an empty function so the user will not have to paste a function as a parameter ?
