ActionScript 3.0 :: Getting The Parent Clip From An Event?
Sep 14, 2011
getting hold of a reference to the object that loader might be created in So in the below example I am creating a new loader in a movieclip called "item" When the "complete" event fires, is there away for me to reference "item" through the event.I thought this might be e.currenTarget.parent or somthing...But that doesnt work.
Code:
item.imageLoader.load(new URLRequest("C:/KATY.jpg"));
item.imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, IMGaddeditemLoadDone);
item.imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, IMGaddedimgerror);
[code]....

if I add a clip to the stage as a child and remove the parent and set the parent equal to null, does the child get collected and removed from memory? What if the child has an image loaded into it as its child?
In my application I'm loading a series of png images as overlays that can be tinted for customizing in this app. When I trace my memory, the basic app idles at 64,000 k. The exact second I load those overlay images it goes up to 205,000k. If I remove those clips and "clear" the stage I should go back down to 64,000 k if everything is removed and collected correctly, right? It's not, it's hanging at 215,000 k. Are my images being cached and that is the reason for the memory staying up? If so, how do I prevent that. Or upon removing the parent of the image how can I un-cache the image.
If a user switches between models and loads several different items then the application actually crashes the Flash environment because of too much memory usage. It also does the same to browsers.

I've struggled with this for a long time and have thrown in the towel. How the heck do you climb the ladder, then go back down again into another clip?

I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
test01.abtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.bbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.cbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);[code]....
It is only targeting the movie clip, not the buttons inside the movie clip.

Can we make something, ie a close button, that onRelease will close the parent Movieclip, regardless of the name of that parent? I'm going to need a lot of close buttons, and I don't like the idea of coding each to close the relevant MC. I've done a bit of experimenting, but not had any luck yet.

I'm having problems with something somewhat simple. We're going to a trade show and needed a video that would randomly load a SWF clip on one scene, then I have the timeline move to another after a delay and then go to the next part to load an image, then I have it restart and do it again, for a never-ending looping video at our booth.
I'm running into an issue though, when it loops and plays the SWF for the 2nd time, the old content still remains and the new content plays over the previous one. I figured the issue was I needed to remove the previous clip before loading a new one. I found some code that I thought SHOULD work but can't seem to get it right.

I have a class called "download" and an URLStream object inside it called "urlStream".
From outside the class, I am adding a progress listener like this[code]...
Everything works fine inside the onFileProgress function and bytesLoaded, bytesTotal are read correctly.
What I need is a way to point to the download class from inside the onFileProgress function so that I can retrieve some other public variables defined in the "download" class.[code]...

I'm trying to place an event on a child and not the parent but it doesn't seem to trigger the event. Example.
Code:
parent.child.buttonMode = true;
parent.child.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, onMouseOver );
private function onMouseOver(evt : MouseEvent) : void{
trace("child = "+evt.target.name);
}
The above event is not getting fired.

I have a child swf that dispatches as custom event:
dispatchEvent(new ModuleUpdateEvent(ModuleUpdateEvent.UPDATE_STRING, topicName));
My parent swf is listening for that event.
override protected function moduleLoaded(event:Event):void
{
_laoderInfo = event.target as LoaderInfo;
_laoderInfo.content.addEventListener(ModuleUpdateEvent.UPDATE_STRING, onUpdateFromModule);
}
When I trace/debug out the _laoderInfo.content it clearly says it is the child swf that was loaded in. however my listner function never fires.
private function onUpdateFromModule(event:ModuleUpdateEvent):void

I have setup a "LayoutPage" custom class (based on MovieClip) and I am attemptimg to create a "selected" behaviour.When I assign my "addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleSelection)" from within my custom class, everything works as expected, clicking any object of that class does display the correct behaviour.
Now, I would like to extend the functionality by adding keyboard modifyer to either extend the selection or replace it.For this, I thought of moving the "addEventListener" out of the class and put it inside the parent instead (my "PageLayout" class where all the "LayoutPage" live). But by doing so, the click event no longer register on the "LayoutPage" class but rather on its individual children (Page icon, Page number text field, Page Highlight shape, etc.)

I have a simple 2 class game Im working on. It has a document class (BubbleBuster.AS) and a Bubble class (Bubble.AS). In the doc class I made a container sprite called bubbleContainer. I add bubbles (instances of Bubble.AS) to the bubbleContainer. When the game is over I fire a custom event in the bubbleContainer from the doc class like so:Code:bubbleContainer.dispatchEvent(new Event("gameOver"));Now I want to listen for this event in the Bubble children so I can kill tweens and remove things. So in the Bubble.AS I have:Code:parent.addEventListener("gameOver", gameOver);this compiles fine. But as soon the 1st Bubble is added to bubbleContainer I get this error (and no bubble appears):TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

at Bubble()
at BubbleBuster/addBubble()

I have an element which listens for the MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_OVER, and MOUSE_OUT; in that there is a child which listens for MOUSE_UP, MOUSE_OVER, and MOUSE_OUT. The issue is that although OVER and OUT seem to work together (And I like how that is) I need it that if the child is clicked, that the parenet doesn't recieve it. (Right now they both recieve them all, and I only want OVER and OUT to be recieved by both)

[code]All clips are squared.Ok, on the PlayerPlane, there are little soldiers, which have hotkeys. The effect I'm trying to create is I want to position the GameStage so that the currently selected soldier appears in the center of the GameClicker clip.The GameStage is movable by the player (to scan other areas of the map)by holding the CTRL key, so it's easy to kinda lose track of where your players are.I have tried using localTo Global and globalToLocal techniques, but I think I'm lost on the actual math of getting the GameStage to move the correct distance so that the selected soldier is centered to the GameClicker.[code]

I have a sprite A which has a child, sprite B.Sprite B has a variable, instance of class C which only extends EventDispatcherIn class C, I dispatch a custom Event. The eventlistener in sprite B reacts on the event.The same eventlistener in class A doesn't respond.If I dispatch the same custom event in the eventhandler in class / sprite B, this event is seen in class / sprite A.Is there a difference in events going through the displaylist and those who are from an EventDispatcher?

I have an AS3 movieclip with a button. Both the movieclip and button needs a click event but when I click the button it also fires the parent movieclip's event handler.

This isn't an exact duplicate of AS3: add event listener to loaded swf, actually it seems to be a mirror situation with non-mirror solution..
I have a test flash file that registers its own listener at first frame's actions.
trace("it's going to be OK");
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, aKey);
Unfortunately neither line works when .swf is loaded into another movie. Assuming that stage object is wrong for such situations, which object should be used to get listener?
Is it necessary to rewrite loader in parent swf, as said in the linked question?

I have a MovieClip that is composed in a parent (non-display object) class. We register an event listener against that movieclip - a CLICK handler for example.
With event.target I can get a reference to the MovieClip from within the event handler. But how can I pull a reference to its composing class?
I could simply add a "parentClass" property on the dynamic MovieClip class, but I'm wondering if there's a more elegant/idiomatic way of doing it that I should consider?

I'm building an all flash site, where one .swf acts as the parent, and other external child .swf's are loaded in using .xml. The "Child.swf's" are a mixture of timeline animations, and coded swf's, and the problem I'm having is that they immediately start playing as soon as they are loaded. I've not been able to find any straightforward "child.start() or child.stop()" solutions, so I assume it's more involved than that.
I thought it might be a good idea if I could dispatch events from the parent swf that will set them going. I'm using the sharedEvents method to communicate in the reverse direction (child to parent), but I don't believe it can be used from parent to child (Please correct me if I'm wrong!) I know I could go to each child and put "stop();" in the first frame, but how do I start it again? I would also prefer it if not all the child .swf's started immediately, but to wait until others have completed their routines. Again the way I see it is to dispatch an event from the parent .swf as soon as I'm ready to set them going.
