ActionScript 3.0 :: Ignore Certain Mouse Events?

Apr 24, 2009

I have a solid movie clip that is overlayed with a grid movie clip. Actually they are sprites. The solid sprite underneath has a MOUSE_OVER event. I have set mouseChildren and mouseEnabled on the grid sprite to false so that it receives no events. The problem is that when I go over a grid line the sprite underneate still receives the MOUSE_OUT and then the MOUSE_OVER event again. Is there anyway to make the grid completely transparent to the mouse so that it won't trigger the MOUSE_OUT and MOUSE_OVEr events for the sprite underneath over and over?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Make The Mouse Ignore SOME Children?

Mar 25, 2009

I have a sprite containing a 3x3 grid of boxes. I have a rollover event attached to the container sprite, but I only want it to fire off when I go over some of the boxes, not all. I've tried using mouseEnable = false and mouseChildren = false on the relevant boxes within the sprite, but when the cursor rolls over ANY boxes within the container sprite it fires off the event, not just the ones I want to be activated.How can I get the mouse to ignore certain children within the container sprite, without actually taking them out of the sprite?

Flex :: Ignore Mouse Focus On Tool-tip?

Sep 27, 2011

I've created something that works like a ToolTip in my Flex application. When I roll over a certain item renderer, I pop up a new control, position it, and remove it on roll out. The order of operations is like this:

Roll over event handler triggered. Add the tooltip to this.systemManager.topLevelSystemManager.toolTipChildren. On creation complete of my tooltip, set x, set y coordinates of the tooltip (on creation complete so the width and height are calculated since they are dynamic). Roll out event handler triggered. Remove tooltip.

This worked fine when I set the x and y coordinates to be x+10, y+10 from the current mouse position. I wanted to add something that re-positioned the tool-tip if it was going to be drawn partially off screen. I added a step that would calculate if it would be drawn off screen, and re-position the tooltip if it was going to be cut off.

The problem with my solution seems to be that it now runs in an infinite loop of redraws, since adding the tool-tip to the screen underneath the mouse triggers the "rollOut" on the item renderer. This triggers the removal of the tooltip, and starts the process over again from 1.

is there any way to ignore tooltip so it doesn't take the mouse focus away from the item renderer that is now under it?

Ignore Mouse Actions On Transparent Areas Of A PNG Using Flex Image?

Can't seem to find the right mix of things to make it work, nor could I find a succinct example on the web.Clicking on the transparent areas of any of these methods don't result in the click getting handled by the background.Here's the code I have:

Jan 11, 2012

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?

I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?

By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mixing Stage Mouse Events And Children Events?

Sep 30, 2009

I 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 3 :: Alternate Of Masking Technique To Ignore Mouse Event On Parts On Asset

Feb 21, 2012

In my isometric flash game I have some models with long shadows. I want to ignore the mouse events (move, click, down and up) when the user performs any action on the shadow part of the image. (see sample image) I know there is a way we can do it by creating a mask in flash. But what if I want to handle it on the .png images (bitmap)? Do I need to create a mask image for all such images? I think it will be very big deal unless there are easy ways (using tools in Photoshop).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Mouse Events Fail To Trigger If Mouse Move Too Fast?

Nov 18, 2009

It has been awhile since I have worked in flash.Right now I am working on something where I would like a panel to disappear when someone mouses off the stage.stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, leaveHandler); It usually works fine but if I move my mouse really fast it doesn't fire. I have also tried the same thing using a custom invisible button that surounds the perimeter of the stage and I have tried ROLL_OVER and MOUSE_OVERand again, if I do it too fast my event doesn't fire (I am using trace)I can't find anything on the net about this - is this typical of flash that if you move your mouse too fast you break it? Do I need to increase my frame rate (I would really rather not because I have perfectly timed animations - I am at 30 frames per second)

Flex :: Mouse-event - Using 2 Distinct Mouse Events?

Mar 14, 2011

I am looking to provide some UI functionality using the mouse- I have two distinct UI events to be achieved via mouse

a) change value
b) delete object

I don't seem to have sufficient mouseclick events for both. I am avoiding using the right click as it has some default options(whose signing off will affect the whole project- not just this). I have mouse click used for change value- how do I use the doubleclick as the single-click events seems to get invoked prior?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Some MCs Not Detecting Mouse Events?

May 29, 2011

I've just hit a really strange bug with a program I'm creating. The program allows the user to add shapes (currently all squares: SmallThing, MediumThing and LargeThing) to an area of the screen, then drag them about by clicking and draging using the mouse. Pretty simple. Unfortunately, the code seems to be failing for the smaller shapes (they're not THAT small, currently the smallest shape is 32 x 32) which are not generating mouse events at all. I have used trace statements to verify this. I am having a few issues with the larger shapes ocassionally not registering mouse up events, but I can live with this - the main issue is with the small shapes not being moveable.

All the shapes are descended from the same super class, and have the same event listeners added to them when they are created.
 
Here are the relevant functions in my Screen class. It's all pretty basic code so I really can't see what the problem is.
