ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Dispatcher - Catch The Event And Trace Some Phrase?

Jun 20, 2010

I'm programming a little tank game (Check the attachment). The main class for tank is game.serovkonstantin.tanks.Tank.as and there are also 2 subclasses for now: Abrams and T90 which extend Tank. In my game.serovkonstantin folder I have a custom event (TankEvent), and the only event type inside of it which is TANK_INACTIVE.

I've added an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK to each of the tank instances (inside Tank.as) which works just fine. When I add any of the tank instance onto the stage and click it, it traces the tank's name just like I wanted whether it's Abrams or T-90 depending on what tank I clicked. But the problem is that when I click a tank I also want it to dispatch my TankEvent.TANK_INACTIVE. The main stage has a listener for this event, so I expected it to catch the event and trace some phrase, but nothing happens I don't know whether it doesn't dispatch my event or doesn't catch it.

========
if you're interested why I need to dispatch this event, well,I suppose it will help my game know what tank to move when I click somewhere on the stage, and what tank(s) should be inactive,event it they all of the same type. I mean if I click one of the tanks it accepts all the controls while the other should be inactive

ActionScript 2.0 :: Event Dispatcher: Only Receives Event Once

Mar 26, 2006

So I have two classes talking to each other with EventDispatcher. One is a thumbnail of an image, and when it's clicked, it sends an event to the other class to display the full size version. I'm using a MovieClipLoader instance to load the full version (and the thumbnail).

Here's how it's sending the event from the thumbnail class:

Code:

private function initButton () {
this.loadMe.onPress = function () {
this._parent.sendEvent();
}

[Code]....

The problem I'm having is it loads the full size version ONCE. After that, it no longer receives the event. The ("event received") trace no longer comes through. But the ("send event") trace continues to work.

The other weird part is if I comment out the loadClip, then the events come through just fine on both sides. But it's like after it loads an image once, it quits responding to that event ('onPhotoSelected'). Is there some kind of mis-communication between the events of the MovieClipLoader and my custom event or something?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Dispatcher Getting Cut Off

Jan 13, 2010

I have two movieclips: MovieClip X and MovieClip Y.

MovieClip Y is nested inside of MovieClip X. MovieClip Y contains buttons with listeners attached to them. These listeners call a method

Code:
buttonClickedHandler();

inside of buttonClickedHandler();... dispatchEvent() is called to dispatch a custom event that bubbles up to MovieClip X. This chain of events works as intended, I can set up a listener in MovieClip X for the custom event and everything is fine...

The problem comes when I try to invoke a dispatch on a button in MovieClip Y without actually physically clicking it. If i call

Code:
ButtonA.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.click));

the listener for the button click event will fire properly, and if i trace the dispatchEvent of the custom event, it returns true meaning the event was dispatched successfully. But in MovieClip X... the listener for that custom event is never fired, its as if the custom even is not bubbling.

Actionscript 3 :: Get Function Of Event Dispatcher

Jan 3, 2011

there are 2 functions in my code that dispatch a TweenEvent. each function dispatches the same tween and adds the same TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH event listener. however, the event listening function must act according to which function dispatched the event. is it possible to get the function of the event dispatcher from the event listener? i could use a flag to make this work if there are no other elegant solutions.

Flex3 :: Why Event Is Only Listened By Dispatcher Component

May 14, 2010

I've a parent (Canvas) with many children (LinkButtons)The linkButtons trigger an event to communicate between them:[code]Now, the issue is that the event is only listened by the dispatcher child. In other words, only the child triggering the event, is receiving it. I was wondering what's wrong with it, and if I should add a listener to the parent (Canvas)I basically need the children (LinkButton) communicate between them

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loaded SWF Event Dispatcher Not Passing Anything Back

I have a loaded swf (CustomClass) and I want to listen a dispatch event from the swf, but it doesn't seems to work. The relation of the dynamic class are:
Code:
tablet(DocClass of the swf) ---> mainmenuC
I'm trying to pass a event to a function in tablet, and have the codes listen to the dispatchEvent from the function in tablet.

ActionScript Code:
CustomClass.addEventListener("profile_home", currentPage)
private function currentPage(event:CustomEvent):void {
trace("profile home clicked")
} tablet.as
[Code] .....
It doesn't return any error, but why does it not pass the data?

Actionscript 3 :: Central Event Dispatcher Shared Between Instances (not Static)?

Aug 22, 2011

I'm building a flash app (just AS3 with FlashDevelop) and I'm having some trouble keeping things loosely coupled around the event system. I've done a lot of reading about central event systems and static eventdispatchers but they don't quite fit the bill for me. What I'm building is similar to a video player.I have a Player class which is the parent of all the other little parts of the app.The Player class extends Sprite and I've currently designed it so that you could instantiate multiple Player's and put them on the stage.I also have a Controller class which extends EventDispatcher and I dispatch all my events through this class. It's a central event class.

The problem is that I need to pass around a reference to this class so that all the other classes can dispatch and listen through it. Passing around the reference works but it's the exact opposite of loose coupling. I know I could make a static EventDispatcher that all the classes could see but then if I had two or three Player's on the stage they would all hear each others events.How can I create a type of sandbox that will allow all the child classes of a Player instance to be aware of the central dispatcher without passing a reference or making it static?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Listener And Dispatcher - Send And Load Class

Jul 29, 2009

I'm having an issue with an event dispatcher and an event listener. Here is the application code...
Code:
Select allpackage {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import SendAndLoad;
public class Test extends MovieClip {
[Code] .....

It will trace the loader.data variables but doesn't dispatch the event to the main application (Test). I'm listening for the event on the stage of the main but it doesn't trigger the event to display that the login has been successful even though it traces from the sendAndLoad class...

AS3 :: Flash - Dispatch Event From Class?

Nov 6, 2009

I have a class which makes a url request and stores data from that request. When the data is retrieved, parsed, and stored into an array, I'm sending a dispatch event which I listen for in my document class. In the event handler function in the document class, I'm accessing the array that was compiled from the class. The array inside the class has 15 values, however in my event handler function, I'm only retrieving one value from it, which is the last value in the array. I posted my code below. Is there a different way I'm supposed to use the dispatchEvent in order to retrieve all of the array values instead of one?

Class
package com.src
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dispatch Event In A Preloader?

Oct 9, 2009

dispatch an event on every 'onProgressEvent' of an external display object loading.

Does dispatching an event frequently cause performance issues?

All I want to do is have a parent class listen for whenever a progressEvent has fired in my loader class, rather than setting up an onEnterFrame loop in the parent class to call 'get' methods within the loader - this seems inefficient to me seeing as onProgressEvents don't occur on every frame.
