ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Variable From Event Listener?

Feb 13, 2010

I headed some problem which can't solve. It's simple. I'm making slideshow, and wanna pictures to be dynamically loaded. List of images is stored in list.xml - a valid xml file. Now, here is piece of the code:

var imgno :Number ; //the var which tells the number of images listed in list.xml
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

[Code]....

So, the triggered function processXML cannot change value of any variable which stands out of her. Is there a way to export (in this case) information about amount of images listed in list.xml to some of the variables that I can use later (for example imgno).

How do i pass a variable to a function from an event listener which is inside a function Below is a function that is called when after loading some variables

This won't work, but can you see what I'm trying to do? It's kind of like a function pointer, or when you pass a function name into an event listener.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Pass Arguments From An Event Listener?

Feb 22, 2010

In AS2, I often found it useful to pass arguments to a function on a button press like so:

btn.onRelease = function(){
doSomething("arg1", "arg2", "arg3");
}

I searched the interweb for DAYS trying to find how to accomplish this via an event listener in AS3, but everything I found suggested creating a custom Event. The problem with this, is you have to decide the arguments you wish to pass in advance, and I wanted to create them dynamically on the fly ( for example: passing a string that a user entered into a textfield to some function for processing ).

So last night I spent hours scouring forums - and UREKA! I finally found something that I was able to tweak to send a variable number of arguments of any data type. I've never posted on a forum, but it was such a breakthru that I had to share it with the world.

Here is the code:

btn1.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, function onClick(e:Event ) { displayArgs(e, new Array("Larry", "Curly", "Moe") ) } );
btn2.addEventListener( MouseEvent.CLICK, function onClick(e:Event ) {

if someone clicks on the mc named 'button' I would like this to trace the text 'yay'.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Proper Listener On Tween Event Inside Mouse Event

Feb 23, 2011

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 understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Basic Event Listener Mouse Event ROLL OVER

This is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.

I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:

Actionscript 3 :: Use The Same Event-listener Callback For Multiple Event Types?

Nov 18, 2011

This might be more of a subjective question, but is it generally best practice to have one dedicated method per event-types that you add an event-listener?

Such as:

myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
//Somewhere else in the code...

[Code].....

And if you had a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and other relevant MouseEvents event-listeners to watch for, you could even set a switch statement to handle all the various MouseEvent types.

test01.bbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
