ActionScript 3.0 :: Get An Enterframe Event Listener To Stop?

Nov 19, 2009

I am trying to figure out how to get an enterframe event listener to stop. I created a simple example below, where a line spins around on stage until the user clicks on it. When they click on it, the user should be jumped to frame 2.

Code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateIt);
line_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,goSomewhere);

[code].....

However, when I run that code, I get the following error:

at test_fla::MainTimeline/rotateIt()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Which tells me that the event listener is not being removed. I also tried putting the removeEventListener code on frame 2, which didn't work either.

Flex :: Enterframe Event - Using Timer Class For Main Loop

Jan 8, 2011

I have been developing a game using Flex, and used the Timer class to keep the main loop going. However, when I tried using the enterFrame event to do the main loop, there were a few problems. First of all, physics simulation seemed way too fast. Is the enterFrame event called more than once per frame? I set the application's global frame rate to 24, so shouldn't the application set off the event every 1/24 of a second? And the second problem is that when the game runs like this, some MXML components that are added are not shown.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Proper Listener On Tween Event Inside Mouse Event

Feb 23, 2011

My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.

This is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.

I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:
