ActionScript 3.0 :: Link The Button Event To The OnEnterFrame() Event?
Oct 29, 2009
When you click on a button and the animation is supposed to play foward or reverse based on which year the user is currently on and which they are selecting. Going forward is no problem However I don't know how to link the button event to the onEnterFrame() event so that when I use the prevFrame(), it will play in reverse at the same frame frequency as going foward. This is the code I have now.It goes back to the frame that it's supposed to, but the animation is not at the same speed as going forward. I goes back as fast as the code can loop.
function frm94to93 (event:Event):void{ while (currentLabel != "Frame1993"){ trace(currentFrame); prevFrame(); }

I'm programming a simple game for school, and now I get the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at actionscript::EnemyFighter/onEnteringFrame()
I think this is because the object that calls this function does not exist anymore (it is removed from the stage). However, I did add an event listener for this and let it remove the ENTER_FRAME event listener. Therefore, this function should not be called anymore...
I tried to give the class a variable 'exists', then setting this to 'false' in the function that is called when the object is removed from stage. Also, this onEnteringFrame function first checks whether this 'exists' variable is true before executing any code... This also didn't solve my problem...
So in the end, it seems like the ENTER_FRAME is always called before the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event. Is there anyway to turn this around?

I need to use an onEnterFrame event to call a function just once. Here's the code:
my_object.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._y == 100) {
my_function();
}
};
So say i drag "my_object" to a y-coordinate of 100, how do i make it so it only calls the function once. Then if i drag the object away from y=100, and then back to y=100, i want it to call the function again.
I'm using the onEnterFrame event b/c i need it to constantly look for the object to be at y=100, maybe except when its actually at 100.

if it's possible to use more than one onEnterFrame event handler at the same time, something like
Code:
_root.container.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
if (_root.container.holder._width != 0) { [code]........
well I tried that and it didn't really work, it only seems to work for the 1st onEnterFrame but doesn't work for the rest... is there a way I can make it work for all 3?

Im using caurnia transitions, and I am adding an onComplete handler to fire up a onEnterFrame Event.
I just cant seem to pass the object through to the ENTER FRAME function so I can do something with it ..
Code:
Tweener.addTween(myObj, {x:10, time:1,onComplete:function() {this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, timer);} });}
function timer(e:Event):void
{
e.x += 1;

I hava a custom component and it contains a child icon. If I add a mouse-click event listener to both component(click-listener1) and icon(click-listener2), the event dispatched sequence is click-listener2, then click-listener1. I can understand it. But if I add a custom event to component (listener1), and mouse-click event to icon(listener2), when icon is clicked, the component will dispatch the custom event. In my test, the event dispatched sequence is listener1, then listener2. It doesn't match with event-bubbles rule.
In my opinion The custom event is dispatched in listener2, which triggers listener1. Why event flow sequence is not listener2, listener1?
In component.
icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, iconClickHandler);
private function iconClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{

I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.

quick question regarding the TextEvent:LINK.It stopped working recently when I switched my interface and I'm not quite sure why or how to fix it.I have a movie clip which contains a text area and a scroll handler. 3 of these are added to my interface, although only 1 at a time is active in the display, depending on which tab you click.
All of that works fine, but once I change the chat object (textfield and scrollbar) in the display, it seems to stop working, and I'm not quite sure why. I'm not creating new instances all together, just adding and removing from a parent clip upon clicking different tabs.
what would be or could be causing this? As far as I can tell nothing is over or obstructing the clip containing the text field and scroll bar. The scroll bar actions work fine, which is next to the text field, however there seems to be no action going on as far as clicking links in the text field.
Edit - Textfield is selectable, I know they need to be for the event to work.

I have problem with links in dynamic text box. Text is loaded from xml, text field is styled with css attached to it.
Text field is hidden until onRollOver event is triggered, when field scrolls in visible area of the stage.
Everything is working fine excepts click event is never triggered on links, while hover works (links change their color).
Movie clip with onRollOver event is higher in depth hierarchy than text field (they are overlapping). If I swap depth, so text field is with higher depth than movie clip, than on link hover, onRollOver event is lost, and text scrolls back out of the stage...
Is there a way to make link clickable if text is under movie clip with onRollOver event?

I would like to underline a link in a TextField when the user rolls over it and return it to its normal state on roll out.
Does anyone know of any way to access the rollover event for links displayed as htmlText? Flash player is able to recognize the event, as the cursor is changed to the hand cursor when hovering over a link. However, I have been unable to access this event. I do not want to add a listener for a rollover of the entire TextField, just the link.

I'm attempting to create a gallery viewer similar to the Apple on here: [URL]. Where the slide indicators are linked with the forward and back arrow controls. What I have is my forward and back arrows controlling the content, newsHolder MC. I also have the dot indicators controlling the newsHolder MC correctly. How to link the forward and back arrows to sync with the dot indicators?
PHP Code:
function dotPressHandler (e:Event):void {
changeIt(e.currentTarget.id);
//current selection history code
if (currentButton) {
TweenMax.to(currentButton.dotCenter, 0.25, {removeTint:true, ease:Expo.easeOut});

I've got a canvas within which I have a list. The renderer for this list calls upon a "Text" field, with the "link" element of this field set to a function. The "htmlText" of the field is set dynamically to a mixture of words and links. Basically the function checks to see which tag within the htmlText has been clicked and performs an event accordingly.However, you have to click the link twice for anything to happen. Whilst debugging the code I noticed that the function referenced by the "link" element isn't actually even called until the 2nd click.
<mx:Text
id="textCanvas"
width="100%"
color="0x323232"
selectable="true"
link="{lbl_link(event)}" />
I've changed the code a little bit to make it easier to follow, but the ActionScript is roughly as follows:
private function creationComplete():void {
textCanvas.htmlText = "Hello <a href='event:username'>" + username + "</a>";
}

The app I want to build is an interactive map for a site I'm designing. In a nut shell, students looking to enter an exchange program should be able to use the map-image (as in, an actual 'map of the world') to preview possible destinations (I've attached an image of the two basic states to clarify).
After an introductory animation, I want a mouse-over to trigger a function that populates the map-image with a series of buttons. I need the buttons to be distributed according to information in an XML file (ie. x/y coords, some information text, and an animation to load upon being clicked). I want each button to call a mouse-over function that loads info data from an XML field and place it in a dynamic text field at the top. Then, I want each button, when clicked, to call a function that animates replacing the map-image with an image of the corresponding travel destination. Finally, I want a button on each image that will clear that image from the stage and call the function that populates the map so the process can start again.
I'm working out of a couple of books on AS3, but I'm a little hazy on how I ought to be constructing this thing. So here's the first place I've run aground: After the intro animation, I want the user to mouse-over the stage and have a second animation play (clearing away the introductory text), and I want the conclusion of the clearing animation to immediately call the map-populate function; but I don't want a mouse-over to have any effect until the introductory animation is finished. Is there an event dispatched automatically at the end of an animation? What is the event listener class?
I'm not sure if I should be storing each of these animations in an independent .fla file or if I should create them on all one timeline and have the program redirect to specific frames.

I know the difference between the two, but I never felt the need to use the bubbling feature. If I want to listen to an event from a deeply nested children, I always use the capture phase. Could someone explain to me why I should rather use bubbling, its advantages, and maybe show me a situation in which bubbling would be the only solution?

i have a question to ask about asynchronous key controls This was what i did
[Code]...
and i checked with [URL]...?newspage=6249 and it looked more or less the same, so why is it that when i move my character and when i hold down a key, it just keeps on listerning to that keypress event listener, instead of just executing the other event. So say, i tap left and after which i tap right, it will work just fine, but if i hold left and tap right, the event listerner will still be listening to the left key. So, i was wondering could anyone point me in a direction as to how should i make my code stop listening to an event as soon as another event has been dispatched?

if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?

In all the ActionScript examples I come across, people write custom events with the types defined inside the custom event's class definition. But, in my experience, it makes more sense for the object dispatching an event to own its own definition of that event (which, in ActionScript 3, is a String).
[EDIT: After writing this question, I've found there to be cases for both positions -- in some situations, event types should be stored on the event object, and, in others, they should be stored on the object dispatching the event.]

I would like to extends the Event class to add some events I am using in game. But I don't want the new Event Class to have the old public static types. For instance I don't want to have:
NewEventClass.ENTER_FRAME
How do you go about extending the Event class without getting the old types mixed in?
Is there any way to outsmart AS3 to leave out the uneeded types?
Or should I avoid creating a new Event type altogether and just add the new strings?

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.

I'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.
