ActionScript 3.0 :: Enter Key Triggering My Buttons?
Oct 16, 2009
what i've done is made an application where when you click on a "Proceed" button i've placed on stage said button is removed using removeChild() and more input fields are made available.a new button named "nextbutton" is also created at the same time to run a function which, when clicked, will check the input for validity and then advance the movie to the next frame if it all checks out.assuming the data does check out then the last command of the function (of the newly created "nextbutton" button) is to gotoAndStop(2); to advance the movie to the next frame.
i'm using the mouse_down mouseevent listener on both buttons to run my functions ie:
proceedbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Mouse_Do wn, proceedbuttonCLICK);
nextbutton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Mouse_Down, nextbuttonCLICK);
the problem i'm having is that if i tab thru my input textfields to enter data (and who doesn't) i end up tabbing to my "Proceed" button and then hitting the enter key. but if i hit enter on the button istead of clicking it then none of my if/else statements written into the nextbuttonCLICK function execute. even worse somehow the gotoAndStop(2); command somehow DOES execute (at least i think it does) because the movie advances to the next frame in my timeline. so now i'm at the next frame but my variables have not even been calculated ....what i don't get is the gotoAndStop(2); statement is written into the function for the "nextbuttonCLICK" so how the heck can hitting enter on a highlighted "Proceed" button have the effect it does? is it something built into the button class itself? i did choose to make my buttons "buttons" and not movie clips so the user would see the little hand cursor when mousing over them.

the code below is placed on one frame of the main timeline...it works, but apparently continually triggers the "gotoAndPlay" action over and over again. How can an ENTER_FRAME event be made to play a moive clip such as "staged_kiss_mc" only once?
The playhead on the main timeline rests in this single frame for a while; it would be great if "staged_kiss_mc" were to only play once, when the playhead first enters this frame, rather than apparently repeating continually...is there code to stop this repetition?

I'm taking an intro Flash and Action Script class and for my final I need to create a portfolio project that contains 5 unique buttons that trigger 5 unique movie clips. I'm having a hard time with this. I've been able to trigger the 1st movie clip with the first button (although I can't stop it) but I can't trigger any ohter movies with any other buttons.
Here's my code:
stop();chuck1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent):void

I'm currently working on a project which has a swf (zoom) which zoom/pan a loaded swf of a map (carte_web.swf). Everything went well until I got more requests. There is now two maps, same background, one with images and one with only a road. I'm trying to add code to two buttons on a toolbar generated by the zoom.swf, to switch between the two maps, without loosing it's zoom/pan My maps are both object-oriented Flash programming. I have spent 27 hours, trying to find a way and I'm definately at my wits' end!
I got a suggestion " in loading both your swfs into one sprite separately. Then switching between the swfs by removing and adding them to their parent sprite. The parent sprite is what you'll be zooming. " I tried everything!!!

I am an educator and I am designing an interactive activity for my students. I created two buttons named button_B and button_G, and an input textfield named in_Text. How can I write actionscript so that when a student presses button_B, the letter "B" is entered into the input text field; if a student presses button_G, the letter "G" is entered into the input text field. More than one letter entry is acceptable as a student's answer: for exmple the entry BBB, BGB within the input field is okay.

using buttons to enter digits into a dynamic text field. An example would be an atm machine, where you select digits 0 - 9, you can hit OK or Cancel to clear the field. I can use...
on (release) {
AddDigit("1");
}
...to enter the individual digits.Things that I am unclear about:
(1) How do I link the various buttons to the specific text field.
(2) How do I create the OK button to initiate another action, such as playing a movieclip etc.
(3) How do I cancel the items currently in the field.
I have looked over various tutorials on making calculators, but it is very complex for my skill level.

I am in the middle of creating a website using Flash CS5. I opened up my .Fla file one day to continue my work but I am no unable to access buttons and movie clips. When creating movie clips or buttons I am unable to get inside them, when I hover my mouse over them there is a white hand icon which never used to be there it was always just a normal mouse icon. I double click to enter inside the buttons/movie clips but nothing happens. This happens to existing movie clips and buttons on the page and even when I create new ones. I really don't wanna have to start this website again.

When my focus is inside the input text field, pressing CTRL+ENTER works but ENTER does not.Pressing Enter when my focus is anywhere BUT the input text field works just fine..My intention is to detect if ENTER key was pressed after the user fills out the field, but it seems to only work for CTRL+ENTER
ActionScript 3:
// works:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, enterHandler);
// ignored:
email.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, enterHandler);
[code]....
ENTER results in charCode == 0, whereas CTRL+ENTER is charCode == 13 email was created using the Text tool and set to "Editable"
Note: I am testing in Chrome and Firefox running Flash v10

I'm creating a Flash instant messaging application (through XMPP protocol) and run into a problem. It isn't that important but I was quite upset that I wasn't able to solve it and I want to know if their is a solution =D
I have a TextArea chat input and a button to send the text, the TextArea is multiline and so captures the Enter key to jump one line... What I need is to send the message with the Enter key and jump with a Ctrl+Enter combination... My ideas were to disable the bubbling of the Enter key, trap it, and then manually assign the Ctrl+Enter combination to jumping the line in TextArea but couldn't find how to do all this...

A made a class to make thumbs from loaded images. I add a listener to every thumb to trigger a event in the main swf. Already found 'dispatchEvent' But I can't seen to find a way to see what thumb called the event.
I need this info to apply some tween's to the thumb triggering the event
Here you have the code from the class
Code:
package classlibrary{

how to do this, but I was wondering if there is a way to do the following without setting up an event listener for each textfield...
I have a bunch of input textfields on the stage (50+).
I want flash to gotoAndStop at frame 5 whenever ANY of the text fields have something typed in them.
Possible to do without setting up 50 event listeners? Is it possible to just set up one event listener that is trigerred when any input field on the stage is changed?

I am trying to build a simple application. The first phase is selecting to upload a file from the user desktop or from the site's gallery.
The question is if the user chose to upload from the gallery, say, go to an PHP page gallery, choose a photo and then redirected to the Flash app. How would you trigger the Flash up to know there was an image chosen and it should load it?
Does PHP send a variable or create an XML based on a choice and pass it via Flash variable, or does it need JavaScript to tell Flash that if the Flash var is not empty run this function?

Given an .swf that has some clickable objects/regions. One of these controls is labeled with the word 'pants'. When I click on 'pants' I want an HTML FORM named 'pantsForm' to be submitted. By doing it this way I can send all my hidden variables and HTML objects on to the next page in the POST array.My thought is that I should be able to write a piece of javascript like this:
function pageAction (inVar) {
switch(inVar) {
case 'pants':
[code]....
And then from within the actionscript the following call:
ExternalInterface.call("pageAction", "pants"));
could _somehow_ be linked to the onClick action for the 'pants' object in the FLASH movie.

I have a 3 scene movie in Flash MX. Each scene basically loads then stops so user can view the scene and its contents, there is buttons to navigate to the other scenes, but what I want to know is if there is a way I can get it to play the end transition of the scene before it goes to the scene he has clicked to go to?
Something like play rest of the scene you are on then go to scene user clicked.

This code works fine in my IDE but when I test it in a browser, the Event.COMPLETE function appears to trigger twice. I put a throw error command in to make it show up in Flash debug Player and the error gets thrown twice. I've even done a string search through the code to see if I've added more than one listener but no luck.
ActionScript Code:
private function downloadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
_s.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, downloadCompleteHandler); // Clean up
_s.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, preloaderBar); // Clean up

My code is contained in a movie clip that plays an animation on roll over and reverses the animation on roll off. The reverse uses a timer that backs up a frame on the each time event. It works for the most part.
Problem: I tried to use watchTimer.stop(); to end the timer. But the eventListener that tracks timer events keeps triggering which I don't want.
Code:
var watchTimer:Timer = new Timer(30);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, foldUp);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, foldDown);[code]....

I am trying to make a class that plays an animation from code when the user clicks on a MovieClip.I copied the animation from the time line using "Copy motion as actionscript3", and made a class that plays it. However, when I try to add the mouse click functionality I run into problems:
1. If there are several instances of the class on the stage, clicking on one instance plays the animation on that instance, as expected. But if I then click on the other instance the animation plays on both clips.2. Repeatedly clicking on the same instance results in the animation eventually only playing partially, as if the animation got terminated early. This is the case even when I wait until the animation finishes before clicking again.I suspect that this behaviour is caused by AnimationFactory.addTarget getting called repeatedly.
Code:
package { import flash.display.MovieClip; import fl.motion.AnimatorFactory; import fl.motion.MotionBase; import flash.filters.*; import flash.geom.Point; import flash.events.MouseEvent; public class Square extends MovieClip { public function Square():void { addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAnimation); } public function playAnimation(e:MouseEvent):void {
