ActionScript 3.0 :: Calling A Function Continually, While MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER Runs
Jul 24, 2009
I want to run it when the user mouses over a hidden button.
Code:
var container:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(container);
root.transform.perspectiveProjection.fieldOfView = 120;
[Code]....
You can see I have a MC called "btn" but the code only runs once when the btn MC is moused over. I'd like to call the addstar function continously while the btn is being moused over...
The main AS timeline creates the enemy instance and calls them via the timer class. Inside the instance enemy movie clip there is some script to do a basic tween and there are functions to remove the enemy and to declare you've hit the enemy. The problem I'm having is when I try to call my KillEnemy function with a MouseEvent.CLICK (or MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP) event, it isn't registering, I realised this after testing the same function to listen for a MOUSE_OVER, MOUSE_OUT, it worked perfectly.
Can anyone explain why this is happening? Not just that the mouse seems to be a little delicate, even with the roll over listener called it isn't registering the event unless it hits a specific part of the movie clip enemy, which leads me to believe the movieclip is somehow built incorrectly? But even when testing the game with extreme settings (i.e. leaving the enemies on screen for a long time) the mouse clicks aren't registering still. Something is broken! Here is some of code inside the enemy movie clip, the problem lies on line 11:
I have a MovieClip (call it base_mc) which is under a bunch of other MovieClips (call them subclips). The MovieClips on top are all mouseEnabled with MOUSE_OVER, CLICK, etc, event handlers. I want to capture the event of MOUSE_OVER (or ROLL_OVER) on the base_mc as well. Any time I am over one of the subclips I am also over the base_mc clip. How can I capture this event?
in actionscript 2.0, one could call a mouseEvent function without actually having that event. For instance:
[Code]...
In this example, of course, rollOutHandler only does one thing, but this function could contain lots and lots of code, and I would not want to repeat all of it again inside the clickHandler function.
I have two sprites A and B, both are irreuglar drawn shapes (both with a transparent fill) that overlap certain points. The current result is B on top (though which is on top is not really relevant, as the same problem will exist if A is on top). They are both children of the same UIComponent.
Both are listening for the MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE event. It is to occur when a corner on either shape is passed over by the mouse. Though, when the mouse moves over the corner of A and this corner is behind B the MouseEvent is never raised.From my investigation I've found when i turn the fill off on the sprites and just draw the outline of the shape the mouse event will raise, but this is not what is wanted. how can I get *both* the objects listening and responding even when the corners of one is overlapping the other?
I'm trying to create a preview of which tower is selected for my game. I've set all of the 'background' of the level up with a class called EmptyBlock, which has buttonmode set to false. I then added event listeners to each one (this.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver ); ) for both MOUSE_OVER, and MOUSE_OUT. Inside my onMouseOver function, I'm manipulating the x/y position of a MovieClip, and setting it's visible status to true. Inside the onMouseOut function, I'm setting the x/y position of the MovieClip to -25, -25 (Offstage, just hiding it from view), and setting it's visible status to false.
However, when I run the code and hover over this class (EmptyBlock), the MovieClip I'm manipulating flickers. It continuously flickers and doesn't stop. I tried creating the MovieClip's class and removing it (Creating in OnMouseOver and removing it in OnMouseOut) but that too flickered. Traces say that it's running the MouseOut constantly while the MovieClip is over it but not when it's not. What am I doing wrong here? I'm probably making a stupid mistake but...
On a second, smaller note: Once this MovieClip's class is created, it obviously intercepts the clicks I want to go to my EmptyBlock class. Is there anyway to forward the click onto my EmptyBlock class? The MC is not a child of my EmptyBlock class (but it is added as a child after the EmptyBlock class).
I am working with AS3 to build a very simple mp3 player on my site. So far the play and pause button work fine, but when I try to move the slider then click the pause button, it doesn't pause, and then clicking the play button again causes it to play a new file.I'm assuming that for some reason when I call the playMp3 function from my MouseEvent, it's within an object or something and not at the root, so it's like loading a new sound file, but I don't know how to fix that.URL...
I am doing some animation using setInterval. It runs ok on all browser(firefox, sarfari, and opera..), but not in IE8. I just check ie7, it works fine also.
I have one function that runs when a certain button is pressed. However, I want this function to also run when enter is pressed. I know that I can make a function to do this alone, but is there any way that I can make the function that I already have made (that is set to run when the button is pressed) to run also when enter is pressed?
I have 4 buttons with instance names: 'alfa', 'bravo', 'charlie' and 'delta'. I want to make a function that runs on mouse click on either of the buttons. I tried this, but could remember exactly how it should look:
I currently have an AS3 fla with a couple of mouseEvent functions but now the client wants to add a KeyboardEvent as well to the same exact functions. Can I add another eventListener to that without having to create a second function? It would be a huge waste of code if I did. Here's what I currently have in truncated form:
rightArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide_right); leftArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide_left); function slide_right(e:MouseEvent):void {
I have some functions that have mouseEvents for their param and I am wondering how those can be use without the param. Meaning those functions where set up to work with buttons, but how can call those when I don't have a button to call them? Here is an example of one of the functions:
function forward(e:MouseEvent):void { ns.togglePause();
Is there any way to call MouseEvent function in as3 from JavaScript?I have HTML button and swf object, I need to sent a POST request from swf by clicking on HTML button.
I'm sure this must have been covered 100's of times but I have searched and searched with no joy so... I'm trying to simply pass a value into a function using a MouseEvent, CLICK (the example below is just that an example not what I'm actually trying to do)[code]...
I am trying to make a simple mp3 player using flash. The songs are loaded using an XML file which contains the song list. I have "play" button with the instance name "PlayBtn". I have an actionscript file named "playctrl", the content of which are listed below:
package classes { import flash.media.Sound;
[Code].....
However on clicking the play button, I notice that the function playSong() is called 7-8 times(check by printing an error msg. inside the function) resulting in overlapped audio output and the player crashing as a result. The function should be called only once when the MouseEvent.CLICK is triggered.
I've dynamically created a grid of buttons which are going to modify a 2D array, but I can't work out how to create a unique function for each iteration of the loop with a dynamic function name. Probably just a stupid syntax error by me...
After parsing some XML to create a vertical project list I'd like to be able to click on the image/icon representing each project and be taken to the URL that's been parsed in as well. Here's the error I get when clicking the dynamically generated Movieclips:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at NMD_work_fla::MainTimeline/itemClick()Below is the extracted code pieces related to the onClick function:
I am using flash. I have a layer containing my movie clip animation. Another layer contains my 2 buttons and a 3rd layer contains my action script. Here is what I have managed to do- I got the stop and play buttons to work so when the movie plays I can click play and then click stop and the animation will stop and play as I ask. I added a stop(); command at the beginning of my script so that when the movie loads nothing plays until I click play. The problem is I would like to click play and allow the movie to continually play over and over even when it finishes. However I would like to keep the movie with my stop(); command so when it loads nothing plays until I ask it to.
what I can do so that when I click play my animated movie clip continues to loop again and again.
HTML Code: stop(); start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startCircle); function startCircle(e:MouseEvent):void{
Code: addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar); function addCar(evt:MouseEvent) {
[code]...
... but I want to pass the a value when calling the function:
Code:
addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar(classVolvo)); function addCar(evt:MouseEvent, newClass:Class) { var car1:Car = new Car( 1, 1, classVolvo)
[code]...
This won't work. Because it then just passes the Class and not the MouseEvent. What should I write in the addCar(...) call function? Ie how to I manually pass an MouseEvent?
I've done some coding in AS2 and have been trying to make the transition into AS3, but I'm having trouble with a simple piece of code. I've appropriated and slightly altered the majority of this code from an Actionscript 3.0 tutorial that I'm following, but it doesn't work correctly. The main timeline has the following code. The idea is to create a series of movieclips that can be individually clicked to change their current frame.
I have Windows 7, 64bit and Flash V 10,1,102,64My problem is with watching a Ustream live webcam on an Eagle nest in Maine, USA,Whilst I can watch it, the streaming keeps on and on buffering, or just stopping and starting. I don't lose the picture but it plays and freezes and then plays and freezes every few seconds. It's off more than it's on.Is there something wrong with my version of Flash, my video card, my computer? I've tried it with Internet Explorer 8, Firefox and Google Chrome and still have the same issue
