ActionScript 3.0 :: Find Out What Child Is Being Clicked On?
Aug 13, 2010
I am creating something that randomly generates 'stars' on the stage, and these stars then randomly explode. When the explosion_mc is created, an eventlistener to click them is made, so when an explosion is clicked on, it will remove the child(explosion) from the stage.
It sort of works but will only remove the latest explosion made whatever explosion you click on. I need to somehow let flash know what child is being clicked on.
Quote:
var star_array:Array = new Array();
var explosion_mc:explosion;
var explosion_array:Array = new Array();

Given this grid (tinyurl.com/63dgoja --> This is a trapezium/trapezoid, not a square), how do you find the point clicked by the user? I.e. When the user clicks a point in the grid, it should return the coordinates like A1 or D5.

I have an image map with hotspots that animate when clicked and bring up info onto the stage. My problem today is how to stop the animation and remove the info on one button when a second button is clicked. The info is intended to appear in a space to the side of the image map.MY code works apart from it throws up an error when user clicks on the hotspot.[coder]I'm pretty sure that there is a more elegant way of doing this, particularly as there will be ten buttons overall.[Code].....

I am working on a website right now, which involves using framescripts to invoke instance methods from the document class. These methods are supposed to trigger the new content of each page, e.g. a galleryCreate() method that creates an instance of a custom Gallery class. The other job that this method must perform is run a check to see if there are any other children that need to be removed prior to trying to bring up the new content (for example, to prevent multiple Gallery instances from being created, or a Gallery instance being created when a Newsfeed instance is still on the display list).
This was the solution I tried:
script on frame labeled "gallery":
ActionScript Code:
galleryCreate();
Script in document Class after the main constructor. Spaceball is an empty MovieClip declared at the beginning of the class as an easy point of reference to the root.
ActionScript Code:
public function galleryCreate () {
if ((spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")) != null) {
trace("An instance of the Gallery object was found and deleted");
removeChild(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery"));
} gallery = new Gallery();
addChild(gallery);
}
When I ran the program, I clicked on the button to the gallery page, and the gallery came up alright. However, when I clicked on it a second time, I could see from the alpha of some of the elements that additional classes were being placed on top of the original ones. The trace in the if statement was never registered. So to troubleshoot this problem, I inserted the first two traces into the beginning of the galleryCreate() method, and the last trace at the end.
ActionScript Code:
trace(spaceball.parent) //returns [Object Body], Body being the document class
trace(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery")); //returns null
//after Gallery has been instantiated in the new gallery object
trace(gallery.parent); //this returned [Object Body]
Running the program again, the trace(spaceball.parent.getChildByName("gallery") would consistently return null, followed right after by a trace that recognizes the parent of the newly instantiated Gallery object to be the Document class. Doesn't that mean that it should be recognized as a child during the second iteration of galleryCreate()?

I've created a map of Montana counties. Each county is a seperate MC withing the larger parent clip (allcnt_mc). When a county is clicked on, I'd like to center that county on the stage and zoom to its extent. The challenging part has been telling the parent (allcnt_mc) where to tween to. Since each individual county is a child of the parent, they have their own coordinate space referencing that of the parent.
Is there a way I can query the location (x,y) of a child in the parent's coordinate space? With this number, I could calculate the distanct between the parent's current reg. point and that of the child, indicating the distance that the parent would have to move to be centered on the stage. I was trying to use localToGlobal but could not figure out how to use it.

I have a picture on the stage that has multiple items that have hotspots/links over them that should open a child swf on top of the background and show details about the items. then have a button in the child swf itself that removes the child from over the background so the user can click on another item etc.I found this code in someone's post and I am trying to modify it so that works for multiple swf files...it currently works for a single swf.I wan to pass the name of the button in front of the .swf in the URLRequest to have the same name as the instance name of the referring button. But I can't figure it out. Here is the code I am using on the stage

I've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

What does the code look like if I want the user to click two specific buttons then go to a new frame. I've been trying different methods, but I am honestly not brilliant with conditional statements. This is what I've got so far...

home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickMain);
if (function clickMain(event) && function clickAbout(event))
