ActionScript 3.0 :: Event.currentTarget - Use One Function For All Buttons - Load Another MovieClip In Library
Dec 7, 2009
I have a movieClip in my library that I am loading into a scrollPane. When I click on the scrollPane I want to know the name of the target I am clicking on. I am trying event.currentTarget but all that I get in the output box is ObjectMovieClip. I want to use one function for all my buttons so when I click on them it loads another movieClip in my library. I realize I could make 3 separate functions, but I'ld like to use just one.

I'm making a tile game in flash and I need to pass event.currentTarget (the current tile) into a new function which sends the tile back to it's start position.[code]I need to call this function from other places in my code..I've tried passing the object itself to another function as a variable but it loses it's start position information !

How can I check if the stage contains a movieclip on a specific x and y location on the stage?I'm building a colour-guessing game. The purpose is to walk a path through a generated field of hexagons, each assigned a random colour (yellow, red, blue or green), based on what soundfile you hear. So if you hear "yellow", you have to click a yellow tile etc.But because I want it to be a path, and the colours of the tiles are randomly generated, I have to check which colours border the currently active tile. I literally have no idea how to do this. I thought this might work but it doesnt:
if ((this.tile.y == (event.currentTarget.y - 64)) != null) {
//add the colour of this tile to array
}

I have a Flex 4 List component which I have tied a click event to. In my event, my assignment of the source file paths works just fine --> my larger image displays just fine when a thumbnail click happens. My problem comes when trying to attach elements of the dataProvider to text inputs on another panel. Actionscript is throwing an error. Can someone point me in the right direction??

I am loading a series of thumnails through an XML file into a scrolling movieClip. I am able to get all of the images to load and scroll and even control their alpha value using event.currentTarget. What I am having a problem with is getting the corresponding XML attribute(@title) to load into a dynamic text field.Here is a snippet of my XML file:
<thumbs>
<thumb img="http:url_1"
title="Title One" />[code]....
The thumbnail alpha changes and the text field changes to the text that is defined by the first title attribute. What I need to figure out is how to use a variable instead of the "#". I'm assuming that I should be able to make use of event.currentTarget like I did to change the alpha of the thumbail movieClip.

AS3 coding, and despite being able to find posts about most of my problems, this problem has stumped me, and I'm not certain what words to search for.I'm trying to make a list of MCs on my stage to link to external URLs.I figured the following would work, but it just pulls the 'event.currentTarget.name+"URL"'the instance names of the MCs are "idlink" and "findStore"Is there a way I can get the loadLink variable to pull the URL instead of the "idlinkURL" string, or is my logic for this completely backwards?
Code:
var buyLinks:Array = [idlink, findStore];
// add listeners to the menu array

I want to use mutliple images in my flash script and instead of writing tons of code I want to get the 'currentTarget' and assign a variable name to it so I can tweenlite it . Instead of me naming all the instances i thought the following would work but it doesn't.
wedding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, pan_over) ;
function pan_over(e:MouseEvent):void{
var ct:string = Event.currentTarget.name ;

I'm trying to tween six Movieclip (using TweenLite) in an Array to where they scale up when pressed. When another is pressed it scales up and the others will scale down. I'm having trouble getting them to do this consistently. This is probably a minor fix for most of you, but I have been tackling this for two days.[code]

i'm wondering how i can run a function that has the same name as the current target. so when i click a button with the instance name "notes" this will run the "notes" function e.g
ActionScript Code:
evt.currentTarget.name();//run the function with the same name as the target
this doesn't work and returns a Error #1006: value is not a function.

I've got a problem with an if/else statement within a function which checks to see which 'drop area' one of ten items should to snap to.. the problem is I can only set the start location of each item to work on the first hitTest, otherwise after clicking another item or positioning any item in one of the drop areas, the drop area becomes it's start location due to startDrag() and stopDrag() been called again to move the object..
What I've tried to do here is to create a variable (which does trace the correct (currentTargetHome) movieclip reference, but as a string) but it doesn't work when I try to access it's attributes using [currentTargetHome]. The item exists within the movieclip "gamePage" and the rest of the function works !

Not supposed to send the linkage class as a string in the function call.
I can load an image in from the library with code by
1) creating a new object of the linkage class,
2) creating a new bitmap object using the new object, then
3) sticking it into a Sprite, but when I try to make it into a function it doesn't work.
ActionScript Code:
//linkage name, width, height, string for .name property
container.addChild( crtLibImg("PNGlinkageName",100,50,"myPNGname") );
function crtLibImg(thisPng,w,h,mName)

I'm trying to load a movieclip into a "movieclipholder" in the Flash project. I don't want any external SWF's, everything is put together in the same project. And that's where my problem starts. I have got no idea how to load one movieclip from the library into another movieclip. Is it possible? I feel it should be.

Actually what I want is that I need to load a movieClip from the library and symultaneously it should have 45 degree rotation before loading to screen.But when I tried to do the same, it was rotating after the load event.I used the following code:
_root.attachMovie("boxMC", "p1",_root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:23,_y:107 });
_root.p1.rotateTo(-10,0, "easeinoutsine");
My intension is that before load to screen the MovieClip should have rotation instead rotating after load event. But according my code we get to feel like it is rotation after load event.Anyone one can you make it rotate before loading to screen.
What I need: A movieClip should have roate to 45 degree before loading it to screen.

I paid someone to write a Flash application, he did what I asked him, but there is one problematic aspect that he doesn't know how to approach:The application consists of many small mp3 files that have to be preloaded in the beginning. The problem is that is takes FOREVER for these files to load. I changed the server to a VPS and nothing changed.The programmer uses the load() function from the sound library to load the mp3 filesI installed an HTTP packet sniffer and found out that every file is being split to many small packets, 1.3Kb in size each. So for example a 76Kb mp3 file is loaded in over 60 requests!

I know I'm missing something rather basic here, but can't figure it out. I want to take a "currentlySelected" target of a hit test and attach it to a movieClip container. It traces as an object, but I can't figure out how to translate this to a movieClip. I'm sure I've done this before--- but I'm drawing a blank.
Code:
trace(currentlySelected + " hit test box 1")
currentlySelected.x=box1.x;

I'm developing a flash lite app in as 2.0. loading a movieclip on to the stage from the library. The name of the mc is Objects and I have exported it for actionscript in the linkage. I learnt as 3.0 initially. That is why finding difficult in going to as 2.0
This is how i did it in as 3.0
Code:
var obj:MovieClip=new Objects();
addChild(obj);

I have a class in which I create multiple thumbnails in a for cycle. In the library I have a movieclip for the thumbnails (ThumbnailContainer). This movieclip contains another movieclip (imageContainer) with a mask and a container where the image should load (image). So in AS2 it would be ThumbnailContainerInstance.imageContainer.image. How can I load an image into "image" movieclip? The thumbnail class looks like this:
ActionScript Code:
package com.site.thumbnail
{
import flash.display.Loader;
