ActionScript 3.0 :: Have The Event Listeners For All The Movie Clips Go To The Same "Over" And "Out" Functions?
Jan 14, 2012
I added this code to make a movie clip (gFP) popup when rolled over and shrink back when rolled off:
gFP.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, goToGFPOver);
private function goToGFPOver(e:MouseEvent):void
{
gFP.scaleX = 1.4;
[code].....
It works, but I have 45 movie clips I want to add this to - way too much code. Is there a way to have the event listeners for all the movie clips go to the same "Over" and "Out" functions?

I'm working on a small project in which I need to drag and drop some movie clips on a target. There are 7-8 mvcs, I tried following code so that I can use the event handlers. But it is not working. I tried to search and found generally the event listeners are used with mvcloaders. May I know if, we can use event handlers with mvcs ?[code]...

Anyway, I am just trying to figure out movie clips as buttons, and have been following along on however, I seem to be doing these things right, but when i test my movie, the button just loops regardless of rollovers or stop actions.You can check this addressto see the failed anim, and you should be able to import it as well. Here is my coding:
function rollover (e:EVENT){ myBtn.gotoAndPlay ("in");}
myBtn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rollover);
function rollout (e:EVENT){ myBtn.gotoAndPlay ("out");}

I have made an event listener:text0_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMe);showMe is a function, but I need it to call more than 1 function at once i.e. -ext0_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, showMe1, showMe2, showMe3, showMe4, showMe5, showMe6, showMe7);Each function contains an if statment as below.
function showMe1(event:MouseEvent):void

What I am trying to do is, if a user presses keyboard (key 1), picture 1 should FadeIn and if a user presses keyboard (key 2) picture one should FadeOut and picture 2 FadeIn and vice-versa. With the code mentioned below it works fine sometimes if I am not pressing any other key while it is performing one action but sometimes it behaves weird also. What I want AS3 to do is not to take any action or in other words it should not listen to keyboard until it finishes the opening or closing animation of a picture or any other object assigned to the key.
stage.addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, KeyDownHandler);
/**///keyboard keycode for 1 & 2var key1:uint = 49;
var key2:uint = 50;
var BG1:Image1 = new Image1();
var BG2:Image2 = new Image2();

I've had this glitch for a long time, and I've tried several ways to get rid of it, and now that I just recoded everything to see if it was something I did, it's back again! basically, whenever I press space (regardless of whether or not I am listening for a space press [or any key press]), the last function fired by an event listener will run itself again, with the exact same arguments supplied to it in the first time.
For example, if I make a simple button to trace("text"); and take you to another frame. Once you get to that frame you can press Space and it'll trace "text" again! I really have no idea what's causing this, and it doesn't seem to be happening to me in new files. and there's too much code to show you, but I just want to know if anyone has heard of this before or if they have any theories to what's going on.

I'm currently working on a nav bar but I've run into a questionable situation. There are several links in the menu, and for each i'd like a mouse event on over and on out. Do I have to specify both of these events for each link, or is there an easier way to do it that I don't know about? Can you apply event listeners to multiple objects/functions?

I have 2 functions. Each one is being called by a different event listener. Both event listeners work because I am able to trace strings in both of them.. my problem is that i am trying to create a variable that is local to both functions. The first function "working" adds a number to the variable and when the second event listener triggers function "notworking" which retrieves this same variable called "counting" both functions are called automatically by event listeners.. how do I do this? i am stomped!

I've managed to create a button which on MOUSE_DOWN scales its parent object- it works just like windows in your OS, where you grab the corner and can change the scale of the window.
Here's how I've done it, (minus the MOUSE_DOWN listener)
Code:
function scaleDragHandler(event:Event):void {
var mcWidth:Number = event.target.parent.width;
var mcHeight:Number = event.target.parent.height;
[Code].....
However, it throws the error, "Access to undefined property 'scaleMC'" on the removeEventListener line. My thought was to put another listener for mouse up inside the first, but that sounds wrong

fileReference.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, uploadCompleteHandler);
private function uploadCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {}
Above is one way to add an event listener in Actionscript. By default the callback function needs to have an argument with name event and type Event. Is there a way to declare this function without any arguments :
private function uploadCompleteHandler():void {}
Edit : It's possible to add an event handler without any arguments in mxml. So one student wanted to know, why isn't it possible to do the same in actionscript?

This is my first real programming endeavor and this is the last thing holding my little project back from being a success.
My goal with this code is to add event listeners to an array of Movie Clips that will drag and drop them on the stage.
Here is the code:
var itemBank:Array = new Array(d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_1, d1_anim.drawer1.test01.movieClip_2);
for(var i:int = 0; i < itemBank.length; i++) {

I am setting up a flash game with seven toggle on/off buttons that all do the same thing.I know how to assign them all to be able to do the same function in the main timeline. What I can't figure out is how to get them all to also do the same function within each of their respective movie clips.
Here's the code:
Code: Select allstop();
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, RO_DontDrive);
DontDrive.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, ROut_DontDrive);

I'm working on a gunslinger game. I have numerous frames which correspond to different stages of the game. The frame that corresponds to the actual gameplay has a really involved ENTER_FRAME function attached to particular item on the stage. When the game is over (or an error occurs, or the network connection fails) I want to leave the gameplay frame and move to some other frame. When this happens, I would like the ENTER_FRAME function on the gunslinger to be removed because the player may finish a game and then re-enter the gameplay frame later after selecting a new opponent.
QUESTION: Can anyone recommend a good way to manage the keyboard event listeners, all the button event listeners, etc? As you might imagine, I have no reliable way to determine which frame might be entered after the gameplay frame because the frame change could be triggered by a variety of different reasons.

I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS4 with all the latest updates. The FLA is an Actionscript 3.0 file. I am creating a basic flash site with several pages that change when the user clicks links on a left side navigation bar. on the pages are sub tabs that change out different content(text) based on what the user clicks on the current page. when they click a button it triggers an event listener, the event listener runs its function which changes the definition of an already defined (String) variable, and the page goes on to a frame checks what that variable is and then leads the movie to the correct frame that the corresponding content is on.
here's the issue: it works perfectly the first few times, and then the event listeners stop working, first one of them, then all three once i click one of the two available. i started this site before i even knew what a class was(regretably), and all the code is on the timeline in different frames.

I have a btn on the main stage and when moused over, it will play an mc (window_mc) which opens up a toggle window. The window_mc includes 3 layers; 1 the animation of the toggle window, 2 the AS of the window and 3 the content inside the toggle window.
The content (layer 3) is another mc (countdown_mc). Within that mc I have an animation and the next frame holds an flv, which plays after the animation.
My question is in relation to the main btn on the main stage that pulls the toggle window open (window_mc) when moused over. I have it set to where it only opens and closes when the mouse is rolled onto the button or off it. The window will open and close accordingly.
When the content in the window gets to the flv within the countdown_mc, I do not want the rollover action to work anymore. (I have an exit btn on the window that will close everything out if clicked).
I know I probably need a removeEventListener action, but I am not sure how to write it if the addEventListener is linked to my btn on the mainstage and I want it removed within the countdown_mc which is inside the window_mc.[code]...

I've built a carousel that moves a set amount with button presses, and when the movement stops the item at the front of the carousel enlarges and becomes a button. However, when the carousel is moved to the next item, the previous still stays behaves like a button. Is there any way to remove the event handler from the movieclip?

Is it possible to create an event listener that will listen for an objects (movieclip in my case) x position ? I know i could create an Enter_Frame listener with an if statement but the problem is the mc in question has multiple instances being called and I want to destroy each one as they leave the stage.

Can event listeners only be added to the class which dispatched the event? I ask because I want to have the logic for the listener on the main class, and the action is dispatched on click from a thumb which is instantiated in a scroller class. Kinda like this:
ActionScript Code:
pseudo code:
class main {
main() {
[code]....
This doesn't work. Why can't the main class listen for an event on the thumb class?

I am wondering how to correctly reference child/parent movie clips when creating event handlers? I have a button within a movie clip, which is within a movie clip.This is what my handler looks like right now:
this.DropMenus.DMSeats.ButtonSeats.addEventListener("click",SeatsOver) ;
The button instance name is ButtonSeats Problem is, I get this:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Also, if I were to move the vent listener directly into the movie clip where the button is located, how could I reference the parent/ parent timeline(the main timeline)? Am I correct to understand that .this refers only to the current clip?

I am adding a different listener to each button in the menu and there are several menus as well, then each one of those functions adds a different child depending on the button and also pushes several values to the Array list, in this example called objectsOnStage. I will be running this structure function 40 times with each of the highlighted elements changing accordingly.
//Listener and function for Button01
menu01.button01( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, button01Function);
function button01Function(event:MouseEvent):void
{
[code]....
My original thought was to keep all those changing values in an Array list and run a loop for the function/listener, but I just cant make it go.
