ActionScript 3.0 :: Sending Looped Event.CurrentTarget To Start Position?
Nov 23, 2010
I've got a problem with an if/else statement within a function which checks to see which 'drop area' one of ten items should to snap to.. the problem is I can only set the start location of each item to work on the first hitTest, otherwise after clicking another item or positioning any item in one of the drop areas, the drop area becomes it's start location due to startDrag() and stopDrag() been called again to move the object..
What I've tried to do here is to create a variable (which does trace the correct (currentTargetHome) movieclip reference, but as a string) but it doesn't work when I try to access it's attributes using [currentTargetHome]. The item exists within the movieclip "gamePage" and the rest of the function works !

Is it possible to alpha tween (or any tween) the end of an animation with the start?For example, here we have a simple animation that alpha tweens three images with looped playback (keyframes capitalized):
IMAGE X: xxxxxxxxxxxxX--->X
IMAGE Y: Y--->YyyyyyyyyY--->Y
IMAGE Z: Z--->Zzzzzzzzzzzzz
(loop)
Image X alpha tweens with Y, and Y alpha tweens with Z.Is it possible to alpha tween image Z with image X when the playback loops?

I have a Flex 4 List component which I have tied a click event to. In my event, my assignment of the source file paths works just fine --> my larger image displays just fine when a thumbnail click happens. My problem comes when trying to attach elements of the dataProvider to text inputs on another panel. Actionscript is throwing an error. Can someone point me in the right direction??

I am loading a series of thumnails through an XML file into a scrolling movieClip. I am able to get all of the images to load and scroll and even control their alpha value using event.currentTarget. What I am having a problem with is getting the corresponding XML attribute(@title) to load into a dynamic text field.Here is a snippet of my XML file:
<thumbs>
<thumb img="http:url_1"
title="Title One" />[code]....
The thumbnail alpha changes and the text field changes to the text that is defined by the first title attribute. What I need to figure out is how to use a variable instead of the "#". I'm assuming that I should be able to make use of event.currentTarget like I did to change the alpha of the thumbail movieClip.

AS3 coding, and despite being able to find posts about most of my problems, this problem has stumped me, and I'm not certain what words to search for.I'm trying to make a list of MCs on my stage to link to external URLs.I figured the following would work, but it just pulls the 'event.currentTarget.name+"URL"'the instance names of the MCs are "idlink" and "findStore"Is there a way I can get the loadLink variable to pull the URL instead of the "idlinkURL" string, or is my logic for this completely backwards?
Code:
var buyLinks:Array = [idlink, findStore];
// add listeners to the menu array

I'm making a tile game in flash and I need to pass event.currentTarget (the current tile) into a new function which sends the tile back to it's start position.[code]I need to call this function from other places in my code..I've tried passing the object itself to another function as a variable but it loses it's start position information !

I want to use mutliple images in my flash script and instead of writing tons of code I want to get the 'currentTarget' and assign a variable name to it so I can tweenlite it . Instead of me naming all the instances i thought the following would work but it doesn't.
wedding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, pan_over) ;
function pan_over(e:MouseEvent):void{
var ct:string = Event.currentTarget.name ;

I'm trying to tween six Movieclip (using TweenLite) in an Array to where they scale up when pressed. When another is pressed it scales up and the others will scale down. I'm having trouble getting them to do this consistently. This is probably a minor fix for most of you, but I have been tackling this for two days.[code]

I have a movieClip in my library that I am loading into a scrollPane. When I click on the scrollPane I want to know the name of the target I am clicking on. I am trying event.currentTarget but all that I get in the output box is ObjectMovieClip. I want to use one function for all my buttons so when I click on them it loads another movieClip in my library. I realize I could make 3 separate functions, but I'ld like to use just one.

How can I check if the stage contains a movieclip on a specific x and y location on the stage?I'm building a colour-guessing game. The purpose is to walk a path through a generated field of hexagons, each assigned a random colour (yellow, red, blue or green), based on what soundfile you hear. So if you hear "yellow", you have to click a yellow tile etc.But because I want it to be a path, and the colours of the tiles are randomly generated, I have to check which colours border the currently active tile. I literally have no idea how to do this. I thought this might work but it doesnt:
if ((this.tile.y == (event.currentTarget.y - 64)) != null) {
//add the colour of this tile to array
}

I have a flash script which creates instances of movie clips and stores them in an array. What I want the script to perform next, is when clicking a "save" button the position and the movieclip class name of each created instance will be sent to an external script to store.

- how can I start the player from the position "pause" (so without playing a song when I open the flash) (and so with the button in position "play")
- I would like to add the button "previous track".. what code I need to create into the "mp3player.as"? (I think the button is the same of next but with "negative image" and with different names..)
- for a button like "stop" what I have to do? (a button with a simple action like: stop(); or stopAllSounds(); ?) (I've tried but without success...)

I'm using the indexOf method to search for a substring in a String variable in Actionscript 3. The indexOf method allows you to specify a second, optional parameter - the starting position for the search. However, I'm not sure whether the position returned by indexOf is relative to the very beginning of the string, or to this optional parameter.

I'm trying to make a movieclip rotate around it's center (this is no problem since the center will never change). The problem that I am having is when I press the movieclip, in let's say the bottomright corner, and move the mouse the movieclip flips to a certain angle depending on my mouseposition. After the weird flip it works fine but it's the initial mouse click that makes the movieclip flip to an angle.I've tried playing around with different values to substract or add the starting angle but eveytime the result is not what i am looking for.Current code:
Code: Select all

I have this script, that zooms and fades the movieclip but I also need to shift the position slightly from the start state to the end state. For example var startX = 60 var endX = 70 so when the zoom start it starts at x = 60 and slowly moves as it zooms out to x = 70.

Im a 100% beginner in actionscript so heres my question, as dumb as it may sound.
I want a shape to travel from px 0 on the x-axis to px 740.
The startposition on the y-axis needs to be random, and between 140 and 180.
I have tried the following code:
startY = Math.round(Math.random()*(180-140)+140);
startX = 0;
targetX = 740;

I'm trying to have a movie clip with 4 buttons that moves to the four corners of the stage.Depending on which button is clicked, the movie clip goes to that corner.he trouble I'm running into is determining the variable start points. If the end goal is the lower right corner, it needs to be able to move there from the upper left, the lower left and the upper right. So I need to set the starting position as a variable I assume, but can't get it working.

I've a Services class...which handles the HTTPService requests and responses and faults. Now I want to dispatch a new event whenever I send request to the server...so that I can take custom actions like showing some popup window or disabling certain components.
Here is my services class:
PHP Code:
package business{
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.managers.CursorManager;
import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
[Code] .....
The method doRequest calls the HTTPServices send method...so in this method, I want to dispatch a new event and handle it in the main application...

I've found myself in a tricky place, I've built an app that loads in swfs as external libraries so they can easily be changed at run time, all works well. I now need to separate the code from the art in these libraries so that external developers can change the art without getting their mitts on the code. Trouble is to do this my new code only library elements will need access to my overall manager class, which is the main document class, so that they can access the library manager class to add the appropriate art assets to themselves.
Now there's a couple of clumsy solutions I've thought of:
1, Store a manager class reference in a static var but that seems like a cop out.
2, Go through a few hundred thousand lines of code and alter every instantiation of a library element to include a manager reference - erm, let's not go there.
3, Have the library element send a custom event to the stage from its constructor which passes a return handler to the event listener so that can pass back a manager reference. Sounded like genius initially up until I realised that at constructor stage the library element won't be on the display list so can't bubble up to the stage
