ActionScript 3.0 :: Listening For Class Completion And ENTER_FRAME?
Aug 15, 2011
I have a complex class that manipulates and creates many calculations and graphics on the fly. Once I create an instance of this class in my main file I am using the enter_frame event to constantly update the class. (it's for re-calculating/scaling graphics)The problem is: flash locks up because of all the rapid processing. Is there a way to listen for the class's processing completion and only call the enter_frame event if it is complete? I tried creating a boolean public variable that is set to TRUE at the end of the processing stack (inside the class) but that doesn't seem to do the trick.'m lost here?
Naturally lowering the frameRate is a "cheap" way to smooth things out...but that is lazy and hacky in my opinion because I would like the class to get updated as fast as the end user's computer can handle.I've simulated my problem with the following code. Just some long loops that really slow down the flash player. How do i get the player to say: "ok, not done processing the updates inside the class... ignore this enter_frame" ?
ActionScript Code:
// SlowClass.as
package {
[code]......

I have the Main class that imports my urlValidator class.My urlValidator class imports com.usual.swfaddress and thanks to the SWFAdressEvent fires the function dealing with the validation of the url.In some other class myMenu (child of the Main but on the other branch) I need to listen for the event of validation being completed.I'm importing myEvent (custom event) class to urlValidator and when the validation is complete I'm triggering the dispatchEvent.At the same time I'm importing the myEvent to myMenu class and trying to listen when the myEvent was dispatched (from urlValidator).

I have a file TestClass.as:

The dispatchEvent is definitely sending - returns true when I do trace( this.dispatchEvent(new Event( "initComplete", true))); When I run test.fla, fails silently. Function startUp fails to run.

I have a class in which a mc is used as a button. I want to use this button to remove from the stage its parent instance. Here is a small part of the class called LightBox
[Code].....
Is it possible to set an event listener of some sort onto this button, but have it listened for out on the maintime line? That way, when its pressed I can react to it from the main timeline and delete it? Or am I going about this the wrong way?

I am dispatching an event from one document class and listening for it via another document class.My code in class A.
Code:
this.dispatchEvent(new MYEvent(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE));
trace("Dispatching APERTURE_DONE");
my code in class B.
Code:
addEventListener(MyEvent.APERTURE_DONE, onDoorsOpen,true);
trace("Lisetning for APERTURE_DONE");
[code]....
My listener is registering before the event is dispatched, based on my output window, however I never get the "Open Doors" trace statement to fire.

I've got a problem listening to the event. I've got 3 classes:
Code:
package com.zeeto.swfaddress {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.asual.swfaddress.*;
public class SwfAddress extends MovieClip {
private var dispatcher:Dispatch = new Dispatch;
[Code] .....
And... it doesn't work... is there any chance to listen to the EventDispatcher triggered by some other class?

So I am able to dispatch the event from one class and trace out that the custom event was dispatched, but where I am having trouble is listening for that event in another class.

When I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.

I have the following situation:I have an event handler, that displays small messages in my application's statusbar.These messages get passes through by dispatching events from custom components.A simple message could be like "HTTP Error" or so.Now, the main event listener, in the main application file, listens to the event dispatched by any custom component,but seems to refuse listening to events dispatched by custom AS classes.Here is my code for the custom event:
package main.events
{
import flash.events.Event;[code]..
So to sum it all up:
- The event listener listens to the custom event dispatched by any custom component.
- The event listener does not listen to the custom event duspatched by an AS class.
Those who wonder, the event really gets dispatched, that's why I added a trace call.

A vendor had built courses for us a few years ago. There are 5 modules. The courses are SCORM and are tracked in the LMS from url...We recently had 60 students sign up for a course, but they are not getting completion tracking for 4 of the 5 modules. The students are using IE7 and Flash Player 9. complete works for the module where the completion code is send from an HTML page. The completion does not work from any of pages where the completion is sent from Flash. The flash files were coded with AS2, here is the code on the "Finish Button":[code]

I have a moveclip inside of another movie clip. "graphicsSpace" is the main clip. "graphicsMenu" is the clip inside it. When graphicsSpace is opened, it stays at frame1 and graphicsMenu runs through some animations and finishes. When it's done, I want graphicsMenu to tell graphicsSpace to go to its second frame. Yet every time I'm getting this error: TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties. at Portfolio_fla::GraphicsMenu_30/frame156() I was just using this basic code on the last frame of graphicsMenu: this.graphicsSpace.gotoAndPlay(2); Nothing else.

At this years Flash on the beach i saw a speaker using small 'code-keywords' that would complete entire sets of AS-code, depending on the keyword.Ex.:He would write @forloop, hit enter/space and a typical for-loop would be written automatically.Unfortunately he never said how to access this functionality in Flash.

I just downloaded the 30 day trial of adobe flash cs4.why the code completion/hints would not be showing up? Either when typing a "(" for a method or a "." I get nothing. "code hints" is checked off in my prefs and the delay is at 0 sec. Also, If I click the show code hint button in the AS window nothing happens.

I want to execute a function upon completion of a MovieClip's animation. That is, I would command it to play() or gotoAndPlay(). I don't know of any listener that I can attach to the MovieClip with the "addEventListener()" command. Have any idea I can do?

I have code that sends variables to an .asp file to be put on a database, and all that works fine the database connects and is updated fine, the thing is flash doesn't recognize that the operation was successful and won't continue with the further functions. I understand this may be due to a problem on my asp file, but the SQL executes successfully which I see when i check my DB, so I was wondering if anyone could look at my AS code and see any problems?

I'm trying to use a playing sound to trigger an event when it finishes:
onSoundComplete = function(){
redbtn._alpha = 100;
redbtn.enabled = true;
}
I have the button fading and disabling nicely (on (release)) but when the sound stops playing, I need them to return to alpha 100 and enabled=true. It doesn't work but there's no error generated either.

I have a program in which I am running a number of for loops which are doing a number of different things.I pull in data from an xml file and then step through that data to dynamically create arrays, populate the arrays, and create and modify movie clips.
The program I'm building is similar in scope to one I developed in Director many years ago, and in that environment we had to actually put breaks in using timers to ensure that the data would be processed and that the system wouldn't choke.
What I'm seeing with this flash version of the application is similar and I suspect the same. Basically, when navigating from the frame where the scripts are processed to the frame where the movie clips are displayed, there are times when it works perfectly and times when things are out of whack. I put in a 5 second delay (arbitrarily) to see if this would resolve the issue and on my system at least it does. But I need some advice on coming up with a real solution.

So here's what I'm trying to do: When the user clicks on the corner of the browser and resizes the stage, I dont want the Resize actions to occur until the user RELEASES the mouse or until the resize is complete. So, as long as they're dragging the mouse around and resizing nothing would happen, but then as soon as the mouse as released it kicks in. I tried:
this.stage.addEventListener( Event.RESIZE, stageResizer,false,0,true);
this.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stageMouseDownhandler);
this.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stageMouseUphandler);
But this didnt work because when you MOUSE_DOWN on the Browser rather than the Stage, it isnt detected by the stage. And I going to have use Javascript or something?
