ActionScript 3.0 :: Dispatching Event And Adding Listener To MovieClip
May 20, 2009
for one of my project I need to recive some x,y data from a socket connection. I recuired do some movement for moveclips those has the x,y in its bounds. kind of mouseover event.
what I fegured out is, if I can dispatach a event and add a listenr to all my movieclips the moveclips will know that new data recived and it will check that the number and do appropriate action.
but the problem is I can dispatchEvent but if I add a listener to my movieClips it doesn't work.
/// this way works ///
function readResponse():void {
var str:String = readUTFBytes(bytesAvailable);

I have recently moved from AS2.0 to AS3.0 and I am trying to get to grips with event handling. I am managing for things like key presses and mouse clicks
I am successfully tracing a string as either "login successful" or "login unsuccessful" from a PHP file on a local host and it traces as working in my Login class. Now I want to listen for the "login successful" string, currently tracing in my Login class and if it works, call an EventHandler in my Main class which will execute the next step.
Here's my code so far
PHP Code:
private function onLogin(e:Event):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);

Is there a way to add an event listener to a variable?

I have a button which adds an Event.ENTER_FRAME listener. Once this listener has been added it's quite possible that the user might click the button several times more. Is the same Event.ENTER_FRAME listener triggered again when the button is clicked again? or does Actionscript ignore the command to create the listener again since the listener is already running?
I'm worried about memory leaks, and I'm worried that Actionscript might create multiple Event.ENTER_FRAME listeners with the same name, but it would suit me best if I could allow the user to click the button as many times as they want.

I feel like I am not 'getting' something very simple here:I have a bit of AS3 which uses a loop to draw X number of circles which are placed as data points on a 2-dimensional line graph:
Code:
var circleSize:uint = 10;
var line:Shape = new Shape();

I have an interesting problem that I'm attempting to solve and I could use some pointers.Here's a basic run down of the AS3 script:[code]The problem is that the event listener always pulls the url from the last object in the array when you click any sprite (as would be expected).What is the best way to have the event listener only deal with the specific url of the specific iteration that creates it?

On the main timeline, I have placed a movieclip (movieclipone) which contains some content. On frame 85 of movieclipone, there is a new keyframe which contains a movieclip that hasn't previously appeared in the movieclipone timeline, (moviecliptwo) which contains four buttons (btnone, et cetera).Is there a way to have code in the main timeline that attaches listeners to the buttons inside moviecliptwo, which, when pressed, trigger a function that increases a counter and tells movieclipone to go to the next frame? This is the code I am using right now:
stop();
movieclipone.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter);function onEnter(e:Event):void [code]........
When I debug the movie, I get this error at frame 85:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

i've not tried to do anything odd with eventListeners up until now. i have a movieclip with multiple frames that i use AS to attach a textfield to it. problem is i have a eventlistener for when the mouse rollsover the movieclip to go to frame 3 of the movieclip.
[Code]...
what's causing the textfield to suddenly take precedence and how do i stop it. when i trace the evt.target - it is my movieclip.

I've an array of movieclips created via code that have some textfields. Then i have added some listeners to the movieclips.
Here the code:
Code:
arrNot[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, titoloOver);
private function titoloOver(e:MouseEvent){
var nome:String = e.target.name;
TweenMax.to(curs,1 ,{y:contMain.getChildByName(nome).y + 23});
}
This code moves a cursor calculating the y coordinate depending the moviclip that is mouse overed. Now the movieclips have some textfields so when i mouseover the movieclips all works ok but when i mouseover the textfield i receive a #1009 error.

I notice in actionscript 3 that when a handler gets called, its able to access the senders properties. If I dispatch an event from my custom class. can all the listeners inherit all my public properties and methods?

I have a project with 15 dynamically created MovieClips on. The clips are images loaded from XML.As each one is loaded I assign an id to it. screen.id = [i];Now normally I would add an event listener to trigger each of these to "Do Something" but I want it to be an automatic process. So I have set up a function to create a random number between 0 and 14 with the idea that I can use the number to help reference the MovieClip with the id of the randomly generated number...But I don't know how to go about this Something like...
Code:
Select allprivate function randomNumber(low:Number, high:Number):Number
{
var low:Number = low;
var high:Number = high;

I'm trying to fetch some data from php to flash and print it in a dynamic text field. I know this might be a silly question but i cant seem to work out how to get flash to process the code text_field.text = data.return_msg; without it needing an event listener.So i want the code to be processed as soon as flash discovers it basically.this is what i have at the moment:
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables("get_blog_info.php");
// Build the varLoader variable
var varLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;[code]....

I'm thinking of making a movieclip which stops itself at certain points (just with stop(); at certain keyframes in the movieclip timeline), then the user is prompted to continue the clip.
What is the best why to listen for the stopping of the movieclip? I think I want an event listener that detects when the movieclip is stopped, but I don't know if there is one.

I have ActionScript inside a movie clip running a scrollbar.[code]...
I need to remove the Stage Event Listener (stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, thumbUp)) when I switch menu items. How can I call the removeEventListener for the stage from outside the movieclip?
The parent movieclip is called about_mc and when you click away to another page it tweens out. I really just want to about_mc.stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, thumbUp).

I have a slideshow that loads an image via XML, then adds said image to a placeholder inside a movie clip, and then proceeds to play a little sliding animation via the movie clip. What I need to do is figure out how to get an event that the movie clip is finished and sitting back on frame 1 so that I can run a "nextImage" function that loads the next image from the XML. I'm pretty new to actionscript, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to properly handle what should be a simple event. If I put a simple listener at the end of the movieclip, it doesn't talk to the main script at all?

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?

I'd like to simply scale down a movieclip (that I'm treating as a button) when the user presses their mouse button. When users release the mouse button, I want my button to scale back to it's normal (.scaleX = .scaleY = 1) size. My button also has listereners for a ROLL_OUT event to turn off (.alpha = 0) a highlight movieclip that rests atop movieclips showing the different states the button can be in.
When I roll over the button, the higlight comes, but there is an annoying flicker problem. For some odd reason, when I press the mouse button the ROLL_OUT event handler function is called, yet I didn't scale the movie down enough for the cursor to be off of the actual button itself. I do not want that flicker. I'm not sure why ROLL_OUT is being called even though the event is clearly a mouse down, and within the mouse down event handler I am scaling the button movie clip, but not enough to remove out from under the cursor. In other words, if I click the button at its registration point, a flicker appears.
Here's my code.
//this add all the appropriate listeners to the button private function addMouseListeners() { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOver); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOut); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUp); }
[code]....
why my rollOut function is being called when the mouse button is pressed, and called once more when the mouse button is released.
