I have a boxer class that I would like to be able to dispatch a custom event out of at different times so the main timeline can pick it up and do something. It is at the end of different things. ie. movieclip finished playing. So far when I try to dispatchEvent it says I can't with error 1061.
View 8 RepliesI 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?
I am having trouble using a custom event in flex. I need to dispatch an event from inside two nested components and receive it in the main application file. The basic set up is a main application file importing a custom "gallery" component.

i want to ask what i am missing why my customevents not working
I'm looking off of this site: [URL]
Followed it closely and still nothing! I dispatch the Event alright from the first .as file and it runs the function featEvent() but that's as far as it gets. (found this out using trace statements)
Custom Event:
ActionScript Code:
package asFiles {
import flash.events.Event;
[Code].....
I believe the error is in the actual featEvent, but can't find where.
I have a main document class with an eventListener detecting a custom event.
The custom event exists in multiple swfs. Its task is to call a function which will remove a movieclip in the document class.
This is working in the loaded swf, but not in any loaded swf afterward.
Do I need to write the dispatchEvent differently if its trying to send an event that has been sent already?
I hope this isn't too vague without code examples. It would take me quite a while to extract the relevant code.
I have some problem with custom event dispatch, I have a main class call main.as, which will call in another class call something.as, when something.as is called it will dispatch an event. i have added an eventListener for that particular event, but it's not working.

I got a question about event dispatching and dispatching in flex.
My goal is to pass an email address captured in one component (Comp1) and be passed to another (Comp2). These two components are navigator content of a viewstack. The custom event dispatched the email correctly from Comp1 but somehow could not reach Comp2. The application (Main) looks like :

I am trying to get some code working from an example I came across. most of the functionality works but it is failing when it tries to dispatch a custom event. At the moment the code that is trying to dispatch the event is inside a class that handles amf remoting.the example has this line in it for the dispatch:
Application.application.dispatchEvent(new
RemoteResultEvent(RemoteResultEvent.USER_UPDATE_COMPLETE,"test"));
but that fails as it does not know what application.application is "Multiple markers at this line:
-Access of undefined property application"
I assume that this is because this was not written for a mobile app. I tried changing the dispatcher to EventDispatcher
EventDispatcher(
new RemoteResultEvent(RemoteResultEvent.USER_UPDATE_COMPLETE, "worked"));
but I then get this error:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::RemoteResultEvent@18337731 to flash.events.EventDispatcher.
This is the code in the custom event RemoteResultEvent.as :
package events
{
import flash.events.Event;
public class RemoteResultEvent extends Event {
[code]...
Is there a better way of doing this?
Code:
var b:someButton = new someButton();
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dispatchEvent, false, 0, true);

I'm stumped on getting my coding movie consisting only of tweens to just play 3 times and stop on last frame. I'd also like it to delay and stay on last frame about 10 seconds and/or delay before playing the first frame about 2 seconds. that stuff i do now with timer events- I set both for the interval (100000 and 2000) and repeat is set to one for each, with a timer on the last and first frames. (not sure if that's the best way to do that)
View 3 RepliesI am trying to work with the EventDispatcher class to dispatch a custom event to stop a video from playing. The video plays inside a MovieClip with an attached class file called PlayerProfile. I want the video in the PlayerProfile MovieClip to stop playing when the user clicks on another MovieClip called ScrollBox. I'm getting no compile or runtime erros, but the code is not stopping the video. I have seen use of a public static constant to represent the custom event. Is that what I am missing here.

I have a very simple banner that I would like to play 3 times and stop. How can I do that in Actionscrip 3.0?
View 4 RepliesI am trying to dispatch a custom event from one flex module to another.The code which dispatch the event is as below Application.application.Destination.child.dispatchEvent(

public function sendParametersToChild(e:AlgoEvent):void

but when the statement Application.application.Destination.child.dispatchEvent(new AlgoEvent(AlgoEvent.GETFROMPARENT_LOCAL_EVENT)); is executed the debugger give the following run time exception:

View 1 Repliessorting out the lowest times (tid) and put them at the top of my scoreboard. All my scores are saved in a XML document and this is the code in the AS that puts the text into a textfield called "content_text".
[Code]...
OK, I'm back, and I have another issue that's bogging me down. The project I am working on has individual frames, each of which holds separate movie clips. Within those movieclips are buttons which allow the user to navigate to the next frame in the main timeline. The button objects are different in each frame, so these aren't objects that I can just put on the main timeline (some are nested within several objects)
I want to be able to use a line like:myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, rootnextframe);
and not have to always then follow that up with the function declaration. I've tried just declaring the function on the main timeline, but when the script within the objects call the function, it doesn't see it.
I have created an actionscript file that reads:package public function rootnextframe():void { MovieClip(root).nextFrame();}}
but I get the errors:Call to a possible undefined method MovieClip.Access of undefined property root.
So, clearly, I'm going about this all wrong. I feel like it's a waste to have a function that has only one line, but I can't think of any other ways to do what I'm trying to get it to do.
I had watched a CartoonSmart Tutorial on AS3, and the amount of code that goes into a button seems to much (especially coming from AS2). I tried to create a custom class to make my life easier for this, but... I ran into a snag.
Errors:
Code:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent.
I receive that error 4 times in these locations.
Code:
function ButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
function ButtonRollOver(event:MouseEvent):void {
function ButtonRollOut(event:MouseEvent):void {
function ButtonDown(event:MouseEvent):void {
Here is my button_class.as file.
package {
public class button_class {
function button() {
}buttonVar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP , ButtonClick );
function ButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
I am using Flash CS3 Professional. And when I have the class put directly into the main time line ( Copy and paste) It works perfectly, but not here.
I dispatch a custom event from an event dispatcher (following solution Inherited a class from EventDispatcher in Flash but custom event not received) and I add a listener in both dispatcher itself and in main. trace shows that only dispatcher receives this event not main. How to make main also receive the event?[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a UILoader on the main timeline, then I have to load an external mc with a ENTER_FRAME event in it. When I load something else, I found the ENTER_FRAME event is still working. Why doesn't it unload with the mc?
View 2 RepliesI created an empty MC on the main timeline:
var ribbonMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
addChild(ribbonMC);
On the main timeline I have another MC which loads a DataGrid mcomponent.I have a ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK attached the DataGrid.When a row is clicked, I want to replace the ribbonMC clip I created with a different MC.However, no matter what I do I cannot seem to
properly remove the clip and add it to the main timeline in its place.I have tried getChildByName() in order to grab the clip:
var rmc:DisplayObject = getChildByName("ribbonMC"); (I've
tried type MovieClip here too)
But all I seem to get is a null object, so it cannot be unloaded. Even if I did grab it, I cannot seem to figure out how to add my new MC to the main timeline from inside the current movie clip in any event. Since _root is no longer used in AS3.
I have this in my constructor:

The problem is I get Error: Error #2094: Event dispatch recursion overflow. Why does removechild keep getting called if this.parent does not exist? Why doesn't removing event listeners work?
This is NOT duplicate of my earlier post (its is slightly different)But this is similar issue with similar error but its not the same error The error I am getting now is below while dispatching the custom event from my custom component
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert events::MapEvent@a74ab51 to flash.events.MouseEvent.
dispatchEvent(new MapEvent(MapEvent.CLICKED_ON_MAP));
Note: The error in my earlier post is giving below error message
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@81ecb79 to com.events.ShopEvent
The difference here are two things, the earlier error is while converting flash event to custom event and now this one is while converting custom event to flash event and secondly, I have no clue why it is trying to convert to the mouseevent where I am just dispatching my custom event with proper listeners.
This is my custome event

i have been trying to figure our the dispatchEvent system in as3. But am just not able to wrap my head around it. So can someone please explain and give me an example on how to dispatch custom events?
for eg: Here i just want to disptach event every 100ms and the event should give me the value of "a" .
