ActionScript 3.0 :: Reach All The Children When Using Event Propagation?
Feb 24, 2010
I'm using Event Propagation in order to change the alpha of each Child on MOUSE_OVER, MOUSE_OUT, and MOUSE_DOWN using... evt.target.alpha On OVER the Child's alpha increases from 0 - 0.5. On OUT it goes from 0.5 - 0. On DOWN it goes to 0.5 and stays there even with a MOUSE_OUT. What I'd like to do is then add a button to the main stage which takes the visibility of all Children back to 0, a basic type of Clear button.
I have one way to do it where I list each Child in a function (all 9!). But can I re-write this so that all Children are effected writing so much code? Ideally I'd like to send a request to find the number of Children (9) and then use this variable to write a function which says (where 'n' is the Instance name of each Child) that n(0-numChildren).alpha = 0
[Code]...

I have a movieclip containg several containers with other objects attached to them. Those containers have different levels of nesting. Now I want to add an EventListener to the top-level MovieClip and the called function uses attributes of this MovieClip. Because
of that I cannot just retrieve the MovieClip by saying e.target.parent but have to stop the propagation. I know there is a stopPropagation() method but I don't really get how (and when) to use it.
If I have sth like this:
function myResponse(e:Event):void {
//Things happening
} myMC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myResponse);
Where do I have to stop the propagation?

I have a container named circleHolder_mc. Inside I have four circles named circ0_mc circ4_mc. My goal is to have each circle blink on mouseover. The closest I've got is the following code which causes all of the circles to blink at the same time.
circleHolder_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onBlink)circleHolder_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, unBlink)
var timer:Timer = new Timer(1);timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
function onTimer(evt:TimerEvent):void{ alpha +=7;}
function onBlink(evt:MouseEvent):void{ timer.start();} function unBlink(evt:MouseEvent):void{ timer.stop(); alpha = 100;}

I have just learnt about event propagation and have made a few successful tests. However, I have encountered a problem when trying to use event propagation with several MovieClips that are masked and nested in a movieclip. The display list like so:
hd_cont > cndMask > cndThumbs > 9 movieclips with instance names box0, box1, etc etc.
I am attempting to scale the 9 movieclips at the bottom.
So I have tried:
Code:
hd_cont.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, boxGrow);
hd_cont.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, boxShrink);
function boxGrow(e:MouseEvent):void {
TweenLite.to(e.target, 1.5, {scaleX:1.5, scaleY:1.5, ease:Strong.easeOut});
e.target.alpha = .5;
[Code] .....
But when I reference the cndMask I get a
Code:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.

message in the output panel.

I have a custom TitleWindow component that is registered to listen for keyboard events from the user (so that esc closes the window, enter saves, etc.). However, in my testing I've found a couple cases where my keyboard event handlers don't fire. My best guess as to why this is happening is that there is some child component somewhere that has stolen focus and is stopping the keyboard events from propagating.
Unfortunately, due to the large number of components in my TitleWindow, I have no good way of knowing who has stolen the focus. My question then is, are there any good tips / techniques / tools for debugging focus issues and event propagation in Flex? Basically, I need something that will tell me who has the focus at any given time and who's handling an event at any given time... is that possible?

I have a Canvas (lets call it the Drop Box) which users can drag and drop external files onto. Next to this I have a ViewStack, of which one of the layers is a Canvas with a TileList. I have successfully managed to code it so that the items dropped onto the Drop Box appear in the TileList. I simply capture the darg drop event (lets call this event A) and dispatch a new one that the TileList is listening for (lets call this event B).
However, this only works if the ViewStack selectedIndex is set to that of the Canvas with the TileList. If the Canvas with the TileList isn't selected then the event listener which is added to the TileList at CreationComplete level (event B), won't be called until after the drag drop event has dispatched (event B). This means that something is firing before something even has a chance to listen for it!
I've tried looping until the Canvas with the TileList is completely drawn, but this causes the app to hang.
I've also tried passing the event to the Canvas and storing it locally, but when I attempt to access the clipboad of the event I get an error (dead clipboard).
Effectively I want to only dispatch the event to the Canvas after it's had a chance to load, and add the event listener to the TileList.

I have a custom component made up of a selectable control (radio button)and a text input. I want to perform some logic in response to the change events from both of those controls, but after that I want anything that is registered on the composite component's change handler to have a change to handle the events as well. The problem is, when I re-dispatch the events the event target has changed to my custom component, losing the originating event's target.
Here's my custom component:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" label="{listItem.@text}" data="{listItem.@level.toString()}">
<mx:Script>
[code].....
In the event handler that receives change events from this component, I see that event.target is an instance of SpecifyRadioButton, not the TextInput or RadioButton, as I'd expect. How should I propagate the event to get what I want here?
Getting event [Event type="change" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]

I have a couple of Sprites on my screen and I want to write a single event handler to handle the double click on any of those Sprites. The following approach works for every event type except DOUBLE_CLICK:
[Code]...
To make it work, because in my application I will have lots of Sprites. In my opinion, a single event and the target property are more efficient than hundreds of event listeners. Am I right or should add event listeners to every Sprite?

I made a custom event that's supposed to be fired when a specific function within a class is executed. I listen for this event from within my main script, frame one of my timeline. My CustomEvents.as
package {
import flash.events.Event;
public class CustomEvents extends Event {
public static const PAGE_EMPTY:String = "Page Empty";
[code]...
I know I am reaching the CustomEvents constructor, as the trace within it gets printed.The problem is it seems like the event does not reach the function caller?I was unable to find good examples of how to use simple custom events, so this is how I think it's supposed to be.

I'd like to have a double click event on a datagrid in Flex3. The following example only works if the Accordion (id = "mustBeSecond") container comes after the DataGrid. Why is the order of the components important and what can I do to prevent this behavior? (The example does not work. If you change the order of "mustBeSecond" and gridReportConversions" the example works fine)

I have a "large" movie clip and "small" movie inside a "large" movie clip but on it's let's say upper right corner:
Code:
largeMc.addChild(smallMc);[
If i try to catch Mouse.DOWN events on them the following way:
Code:
largeMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, largeClicked);
smallMc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, smallClicked);
Then of course both event are captured no matter where i click.Is it possible to capture independent mouse clicks on both of these two movie clips and if so, how can i do that?

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?

Suppose I have a Movieclip and in that Movieclip I have several MovieClips I'm using as buttons.I want all the buttons to do the same thing when I MouseOver. Is there a way I can reference all children of a display container so that I can have a statement like MouseChildren.addEventListener(MouseEvent.RollOver, rollOverHandler) ?

I have setup a "LayoutPage" custom class (based on MovieClip) and I am attemptimg to create a "selected" behaviour.When I assign my "addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,toggleSelection)" from within my custom class, everything works as expected, clicking any object of that class does display the correct behaviour.
Now, I would like to extend the functionality by adding keyboard modifyer to either extend the selection or replace it.For this, I thought of moving the "addEventListener" out of the class and put it inside the parent instead (my "PageLayout" class where all the "LayoutPage" live). But by doing so, the click event no longer register on the "LayoutPage" class but rather on its individual children (Page icon, Page number text field, Page Highlight shape, etc.)

I would like to pre-process *any* item added to the display list of my main movie clip, so I attached the Event.ADDED event to the stage.
Seems to be working fine for timeline objects and objects loaded from the library (such as addChild(newClass())).
But I don't know how to manage stuff loaded from an external SWF. I'm getting Event.ADDED when I addChild() the loaded swf, but not for its children...
How can I know who are they children? (avoiding ENTER_FRAME if possible).

how a ScaleX/ScaleY event propagates down to the children of display object? I want to step in at some point and "re-scale" one of the children of a display object that has just been scaled with it's parent. I can't find any event that is fired, and ScaleX and width setters don't seem to be getting called on the child objects. I'm working on an ActionScript Project (not Flex) in FlashBuilder.

So I've got a project that loads some bitmaps and plonks each one on the display list with some events to allow me to drag them and click-to-front. It works fine by and large but if the bitmap is a PNG with transparency then normally clicking on a transparent bit will still trigger the events. I can get round that with a quick check of the pixel's alpha using hitTest no problem.
The issue I have is if there is a bitmap behind the front one showing through then I can't click on that. From Flash's POV I'm still clicking on the front-most clip as there is still something there, even if it is technically invisible, so the event is triggered 'properly'. From my point of view I want to click through that clip on the one behind it, like they were paper cutouts on a table.
I can't disable the top layer's mouseEnabled property because it still needs to listen for events. Either I need something like event propogation only with siblings on the display list or I'm going to have to maintain a list of all the relevant clips and keep checking they're under the mouse pointer. Obviously I'd rather the former at the latter is a kludge.

I have a Sprite called pageContent. Inside pageContent are 12 more Sprites with unique names, a couple of Buttons, and some TextFields. Inside each of the 12 Sprites I have either one or two TextFields and one TextInput. My question is, since they are children inside a child of pageContent, how can I access them? Here is how I am trying to do it:
[Code]...
In my mind, this should totally work. But surprise, surprise, it doesn't. I have debugged it and it works fine for the first two lines, but when it tries to get numChildren of a Child of pageContent (line 3), I get this error: PHP Code: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property numChildren through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

The thing is, I am coloring though code the parts of a body, which is a movieclip composed by other movieclips. I am coding in AS2, using the setRGB function from the Color class. Everything is working ok, but there is one arm that is not being colored.
This arm actually is in one layer with several keyframes, half of them have one symbol, and the other half have another symbol. Both symbols represent the arm in different positions. Now, even though they are different symbols, I have named both instances with the same name, but with this solution the arm is not being colored. So I tried to remove the keyframes with the second symbol, and then it got colored.
To sum up, I don�t know how to reach all the symbols in different keyframes of the same layer through code.
