ActionScript 3.0 :: Possible To Get The ROLL_OVER Event To Pass Through An Object?
Nov 13, 2010
I have one movie clip that sits partially over top of another movie clip. The underlying movie clip has a ROLL_OVER effect on it. Is it possible for the mouse to somehow activate the ROLL_OVER only when the mouse cursor moves over a portion of the overlying movieclip when it's over top the underlying movie clip? In other words, the ROLL_OVER event should be triggered by the mouse cursor as through the overlying movie clip wasn't even there, when the mouse rolls over that area.

I'm new to AS3 and I was making a game of chess. Basically whenever you click a square with a chess piece, I assumed it would be like java, and you'd be able to create an "ActionListener" that would pass a reference to a square that was clicked.
My question is this: How can I access this square object that was clicked in my array?[code]...

I have a little complicated set of ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT event handlers which are getting clashed.
I have following movieclip symbols on the stage:
Background
Bounds (child of Background)
Design (child of Background)
Circle1 (child of Background)
Circle2 (child of Background)
Design and Circle1 should get displayed when the mouse rolls over Bounds. Similarly, Circle2 should get displayed when the mouse rolls over Circle1. Circle1 and Circle2 are concentric and Circle2 is bigger.
Now, the problem is that, when the mouse cursor is rolled over on the common area of the two circles, the event handlers (ROLL_OVER as well as ROLL_OUT) of Bounds and Circle2 get called continuously.
I tried to get rid of the event handlers for Bounds under the ROLL_OVER event handler of Circle2 by using removeEventListener() but to no avail.

I have a Tree, which has an itemRenderer. On the itemRenderer, driven by the XML conditions, objects are created dynamically and added as a children to nodes. These new objects shall trigger an event handler ( some click events mostly ). How do I pass the event handler to the tree and later to the dynamically created new objects inside itemRendere?
Something like:
<mx:Tree x="534" y="49" newObjectsOnClick="newObjectsOnClickHandler">

I have a MovieClip (call it base_mc) which is under a bunch of other MovieClips (call them subclips). The MovieClips on top are all mouseEnabled with MOUSE_OVER, CLICK, etc, event handlers. I want to capture the event of MOUSE_OVER (or ROLL_OVER) on the base_mc as well. Any time I am over one of the subclips I am also over the base_mc clip. How can I capture this event?

I'm having to pass data (originally read via an XML file loaded by the parent class) to a child class upon instantiation, and I can't decide which is the better method.I could parse the XML in the parent and throw the data into an Object and pass that object to the child class....or just pass the part it needs as an XMLList and let the child class do the parsing.Seems like a trivial decision, yes, but I'm not sure of longer-term implications.

Forgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.
The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.
The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.
I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.
I have tried things like
Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);
but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."

I have code in a flex component that I want to listen for an event, the source of the event is a custom class that's being run by another class that's being run by another class etc etc. I was under the impression that an event would pass throughout the whole application, so I was hoping if I dispatched the custom event in the class like so..
private function finishEvent():void {
var evt:EventDispatcher = new EventDispatcher;
var finished:Event = new Event("finishedInterpret");[code]...
the event gets fired basically when the executeBatch is finished, and the finishEvent is being called, but I'm the listener isn't getting anything. I tried setting it to db.addEventListener, but that had now effect.

I have a mostly transparent clip floating over my movie and it it getting the mouse clicks instead of the buttons below it. How do I either disable this top clip from getting the click event, or pass the event on to the buttons underneath?I figure I could have a event listener on the stage that does a hit test to trigger a button, but I know there must be a more direct way to do this. Yes?

My project has a target object (center of stage) and a moveable object, which is created each time a user presses "Enter". Each movable object is identified as part of an array (i.e., object[i]), and a new line (i.e., line[i]) is dynamically drawn from the center of the newly created object to the center target object.
Basically, as the object is dragged around the screen the line is to stay connected to the target object. Therefore, that specific line for that object being moved must be redrawn using a drawLine function inside the event handler. My issue is how to get line[i] to be identified within the even handler? (Using AS3 coding)

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.

I want to pass parameters when an event is triggered. My function:
private function keyChange(e:KeyboardEvent, setValue:Boolean):void
so that I can use the same function to set if a key is up or down. How would I write the event listener? I tried:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyChange(,true)); however that didn't work.

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).

I have 3 buttons which will do basically the same thing(2 fade when one is moused over). I have it working but was wondering if there was a cleaner method instead of using a switch function within the handler.

Suppose I want to create a bunch of buttons using a loop. But I want each button to do something different. Suppose the buttons are numbered and I simply want each button to print out its unique number when clicked. Heres what I have so far:
Code:
var t:CTextField;
for (var i:int = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
t = new TextField();
[code]...
Ive tried many different things to get this to work, but none of them worked so I wont bother posting them all. At best, I got it so every single button traced "button 100 was clicked". I sort of understand why that happened, but I dont know how to make it work properly. Once again, all I could find was people saying "use custom events", but I think I need a lot more details than that. For example, I dont see how changing
Code:
t.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, buttonClicked);
to
Code:
t.addEventListener(MySpecialMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, buttonClicked);

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 ) {

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
function dataOK(mydataevent:Event):void{
var j:int = 0;
do {
trace(j);
[Code]....
This is a simplified version of the original code. The above function generates an error because j is undefined in the function. I am wanting to get the variable j when the button is pressed.
How do I pass the variable j to the Button_Click function?

I have a TextArea that I don't ever want to be scrolled. When scrolling within the application that holds this TextArea, however, the scrolling stops as soon as the mouse ends up over the TextArea.
Is there any way to pass the scroll event to the application, or tell the TextArea to not claim the event?
