ActionScript 3.0 :: Blur When Not In Focus?
May 14, 2010I'm not that great with Actionscript 3.0, so naturally I have an hurdle to leap.
I using the 3D Carousel from flashcomponents.net and I need to figure out how to get the images blur when they are not the front focal on the Carousel. I tried an onRelease (which works to un-blur it), but I didn't know what else to pair it with so when I click on another object it blurs and goes to the back. I don't want it to blur when I roll off, only when another object is clicked.
Flex :: Programmatically Set Focus To HorizontalList So That It Could Receive Key Events?
Oct 26, 2009look at the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:creationComplete>
[Code]....
As you see, I try to make my HorizontalList focused when application is loaded. And I actually receive Received focus message in console. But I expected that I would be able to navigate over list elements with arrow keys after setting focus. But that's not the case. They work only after clicking component with mouse. How to make list have focus and respond to arrow keys?

Here's the basic code:
major.text = "ActionScript 3.0";
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, inFocus);
major.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, outFocus);
function inFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="";// want to clear the text one character at a time
} function outFocus(event:FocusEvent):void {
major.text="ActionScript 3.0"; // want to put the text back in one character at a time
}
I attached a fla. that does this in ActionScript 2.0, but I'm trying to do this in ActionScript 3.0.

User Cannot Hear Sound Effects When Window Is Not In Focus?

Jun 25, 2009Is there any reliable way to give the stage focus when you first open it in a browser window WITHOUT first clicking on the stage? By reliable, I mean something that works across different browsers and on both PCs and Macs.I've seen numerous threads on this subject, and I've read the Adobe tech note, and it seems there is no reliable way.How in the world can Adobe ask people to use Flash and not provide a reliable way to give the stage focus on startup.

Mar 21, 2011I am unable to replicate this issue in Flash - only in a browser window. It appears that if I lose focus of that window for a period of time or scroll down the page where the embedded flash isn't visible, when I scroll back up or return to the window, the event timers appear to play catch-up.The timed "removeChild" commands do not run and leave remnants on the stage. I do not get any errors however, and everything else seems to continue running as normal.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pausing A Swf With Audio When The Html Window Is Out Of Focus?
May 16, 2011I have created a container in Flash Professional CS5 for my projects CBT. I have been able to script many of the features we require using AS3, but there are a couple of things I am still trying to work out.I would like the swf presently playing in one tab to pause and go silent when another swf is opened in a new tab (the sound is inside this externally loaded swf which is loaded inside a movie clip from buttons nested a movie clip down). I have tried :
var originalFrameRate:uint = stage.frameRate;
var standbyFrameRate:uint = 0;
addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate)[code]....
This function is present when I publish the CBT with Captivate, so obviously there must be code available. You can set the Captivate button to open url in new window and pause movie.Is there something I can add to the html file that is similar to the �has Priority� for mobile devices or is there javascript that can be added to the flash itself?
Flash - Flex MXMLC Ant Task Steals The Window Focus?
Aug 5, 2010Has anyone noticed the following behavior building Flex programs using the mxmlc ANT task (running in the background): as the MXMLC task starts, it steals the window focus from whatever application is currently running, and then gives it back again! This is extremely disruptive.Is there a way to run the MXMLC task "headless" so it doesn't interact at all with the window system?I'm running on Mac OS X (10.5.8, if that matters), and Flash 4.0.1 (although the behavior existed on 3.x as well).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Timer Lagging When Browser Window Loses Focus?
Sep 12, 2009I have this SWF that is pulling videos from YouTube through their API. Everything is working nicely until I go to another browser tab or cause the window the SWF is in to lose focus otherwise (largely by using any program aside from the browser). When I return to the tab/window that the browser is playing in, if I have been away for anything over like 20 seconds, the time text that indicates where the play head is plays catchup jumping over 3-5 seconds at a time. While the video is not making these jumps, what is happening is that any buttons for controlling the video become unresponsive until the time text actually has caught up with the current position in the video play head. Thereafter all functioning for my other buttons (play/pause, full screen toggle, and sharing) returns to normal. I am using a Timer that calls every millisecond.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] Make A Website Fall Asleep When The Focus Is Shifted Away From The Entire Window
May 5, 2004I was wondering if its possible to make a website fall asleep when the focus is shifted away from the entire window.... so something like onBlur. I've seen this on a few websites and I got thinking how they did it. I'm guessing they have some kind of JavaScript code in their HTML page that can detect an onBlur or killFocus or whatever you call it - then the flash movie picks up on this and takes the appropriate action - like pauses a movie or displays a message "please come back" or things to that effect.
EXAMPLE: Go to [URL] and go to the WANDER AWAY section and click his links. Provided you have enough "money" (you can earn "money" by navigating around) you'll be taken to pixel ranger etc. Now click on the [URL] window and you'll see its been greyed out and is "asleep". You have to click the movie to awaken the site.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mixing Stage Mouse Events And Children Events?
Sep 30, 2009I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).
ActionScript 1/2 :: Stacked Events - Events Get Added On Top Of One Another?
Feb 24, 2011I have noticed that using the "addEventListener" and coming back into a frame, I get multiple events tied to the same component.The design I am using jumps to an "I" frame (intermediate) and then back to the "M" frame (main) when the user performs an action.I add event listeners to several components when I enter that M frame. What I notice is that the events seem to stack up for a particular component.
For instance, if I enter M frame, N number of times and addEventListener("click", handleEvent) to a radio button, I get N calls to handleEvent when the user clicks on the radio button. I guess this kinda makes sense but is not what I want. I just want one event of a particular type (in this case "click") to be associated with the a particular component. I get around this issue by removing the event(s) in the I frame. Then they get reinstalled in the M frame. Only one at a time.
So, just wondering about this behaviour. Is there a way to check for the number of events that are currently active on a particular component? Better way to handle adding events?
