ActionScript 3.0 :: Movieclip RemoveEventListener 'remembers' Clicking
Feb 5, 2010
I'm not very sure how to explain my situation... In short codewise: I have a movieclip that listens for a click-event, set trought addEventListener. At a certain point I 'addchild' a button to that movieclip AND disable the eventlistener of the buttoncarrying movieclip. (the button is over the movieclip on the screen, and clicking the button must NOT trigger the mouseclickevent of the parent movieclip.)
when clicking the button, i need to do some actions (works ok) AND get the movieclip listening to NEW clicks. But from the moment I add the evenlistener to the movieclip again, it seems to 'remember' the OLD moueclick meant for the button. That's what I can't have, I start to think that I need to flush a clickingbuffer belonging to the movieclip or something... Now in words: It's about a minimized login-window (=movieclip), that needs to maximize when clicking on it (anywhere on the window). When maximizing I add a form and some buttons. When clicking my "cancel"-button I want to minimize my login-window again and let it listen for mouseclicks again so we can maximize it again..

I have a movieclip with moviclips in them. Lets class it...
mainMC = main movieclip
childMC = mcs inside the mainMC
The problem is that the mainMC is to be used as a button. If I click the part of the mainMC with a childMC, it doesn't work. I have to click a blank spot on the mainMC where no childMC exist in order for it to properly register.

code for a button that "remembers" if it has already been clicked or not. For instance, the button is blue, once its clicked it turns red and does go blue ever.

I have 5 movieclips on the stage. I also have a color picker. I would like for the user to click on the movieclip they want to change the color of. The color picker will change the color of the movie clip that the user has selected. Another feature that would be nice would be if the selected movieclip was highlighted or something so the user knows which one is selected. Anyone know if this can be done.

I am using Adobe Flash CS5, Action Script 3.0, and I want to disable my "home" movieclip after it has been clicked, so it stays a certain color or design that can't be clicked anymore. I already created the _up, _over, _down, and _disabled in the "home" timeline, and I don't know what to do after that.... i tried home.enabled = false, but it's already disabled when I hover to it. These are my codes so far:
stop();
home.stop();
home.buttonMode = true;

If I have a MovieClip, simply a blue square with class AS file called blueBox, in the constructor of the blueBox.as file I have:
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, sayHello);
Why does this not call the sayHello method when I click the movieclip on the stage? I know on the stage that I could grab the instance of my bluesquare movieclip and add an event listener to it that way, but I just wanted to 'encapsulate' in a bit more.

I want to do this: When the mouse is between two y-coordinates, let's say 40 and 50, a movieclip is supposed to be moved. How should I do this? I can move the movieclip by clicking on a button but how do I do this one? And where should the code be put? I thought that this code would work if I put it in the first frame, but it's not..

I have drawn intersecting lines. The user can click on a region inside the angle formed by the two lines.When the user clicks inside the area, the small region formed by the arc between the two lines showing the angle should change. How can I do that.the region between the intersecting lines is sprite object to dispatch event listener, but the arc is shape object.

What happens is I've used the the bus and car mcs to drive on both sides of the road in the animation (they will go across the screen then flip over and drive back within their respective mc).When they first cross over they are layered right but because of the timing of each animation, there is a point where both are going the same way on the same side of the road. At this point the bus pulls up higher (to the side of the road to pick people up) and the car passes it. The problem is when the car passes it is registered as being behind the bus (which would be hitting people).So i'm trying to get the car to swapDepths and come to the front Only when driving on one side of the road, so only at a certain frame reference essentially - not the entire mc.

I have a movie clip viz. A. Inside that I have another movie clip viz. B. Now A has an event listener which returns its X, Y on mouse down, which in turn is used to magnify A taking those X,Y as the center point. B has its own event listener, one for changing color on mouse over and other to show a pop-up on mouse down.
Problem: When i click anywhere inside A, not covered by B, there is no problem fetching X,Y. But if i click on B, which is covering some area of A, it doesn't work. Simply because the event on B is probably not letting the event of parent to fire. Even if i write to fetch X,Y on mouse down of B, it returns its own X,Y and not of the parent, i.e. A. Because of this, the magnification doesn't work accurately in cases where child movie clip is obstructing an area of parent movie clip.

On the code i'm writing you can select an object to interact with it, but to deselect you have to click on it again, is there a way to make the deselection by simply clicking out of the MovieClip?

I am trying to play a nested movieclip by clicking on a button. I have an instance name for the nested moviclip, and this is the code I atatched to the button:
on (release) {
_root.conference.gotoAndStop(35);
}
Nothing happens when I click the button with that code. However, if I take out the instance name, the button will play the frame specified:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop(220);
}

I have made the flash file into CS3 and simplified the idea a bit. Basically I want to click the box on the right to start playing the song and the spectrum and then if I click it again it will stop playing the song and the spectrum then if I click it again it will start playing again ect ect. I could not upload the song.mp3 cause the file size was too big you will have to replace it with another mp3 in the root of the folder and name the mp3 song.mp3.

on the main timeline, i have two layers.. layer 1 and layer 2.. on layer 1, i have a movieclip that has an eventlistener (mousedown).. on layer 2, i have a semi-transparent (50% alpha) movieclip that overlaps / covers the movieclip on layer 1..
how do i let the movieclip in layer 1 still receive the "mousedown" event when i click on it? ..even if the movieclip on layer 2 is already "covering" / "blocking" it? is it even possible?
i think it has somthing to do with setting the "enabled" value to "false".. but im not sure...

I'm having issues removing event listeners once they're added in cs4 jsfl. I tested the same code on cs3 and it removes the listener just fine without errors. In CS4 if I try:fl.removeEventListener("mouseMove", movieclipListener);I get the error:removeEventListener: Argument number 2 is invalid. If I try:fl.removeEventListener("mouseMove");I get the error:Wrong number of arguments passed to function "removeEventListener".
So I'm summarizing that: - the removeEventListener has changed between versions cs3 and cs4- Neither method works in removing my event listener Tried running this in the same script that added the event listener (same script that contains the function called), tried running in a separate script. Same errors.

I'm confused about the usage and properties of these two functions.
[code]...
2. After removing the event listener, I still get output from hasEventListener
So, how does this really work?
3. Event listeners like Event.COMPLETE are events that happen once, then not again. One would think these kind of events also would delete its event listeners. Is this so?
