ActionScript 3.0 :: Stage Click Listener Gets Called When Clicking MC?
Apr 1, 2011
I have a drop-down menu that stays open when I click it, until I click it again. I want it to close when I click away from it. So I created an event listener of type MouseEvent.CLICK and apply it to the stage.
The obvious problem is, though, that when I click the drop-down menu to make it open, I'm also clicking the stage, which prevents it from opening.
I think there's probably a simple solution to this but I'm stuck. I called stopPropagation() on the drop-down menu and that seems like it should help but it doesn't.

I have added a listener to the stage to close a loader object when the stage is clicked. The problem is the click seems to effect the loader object to (basically when you click the loader it calls the click function attached to the stage). Is that to be expected? I suppose it makes sense, but is there a way of adding a listener to the stage that excludes certain objects?

I have two scenes in flash - when you go to scene 2 there is a eventListener attached to the stage to move a movieclip. When I test the movie the only way the keyboard listener seems to work is if I click on the stage first, then the object will move. Is there a solution to this. The code I am using is:

I have a button labeled 'blueButton' and I'd like to use an anonymous function to handle the click, like so:
blueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace( "-----click detected-----" );
// now do other stuff
});
Problem is, the click handler is called multiple times per click. The number of times called seems to be random (sometimes 2, sometimes 4, sometimes 3 etc). could I be missing something in my code, or maybe I set up the button wrong?
also I noticed that it seems to always get called once on the first click. After the first click is when it starts getting called additional times, maybe that has something to do with it?

On my main timeline I have an empty MC that my external swf's get loaded into once a user makes his selection from the menu.I would like to tween the load in and load out of these swfs.What is the best way to go about this?Should I add a Listener to the main timeline that listens for my MC to be called? I guess the real hangup here for me is understanding how to initiate the tween on load in and load out.

I have a basic presentation which will have basic interactivity for the user. i.e. The user clicks on a play button, and the presentation plays, the user clicks on a back button, and the playhead steps back through the animation.I also want to provide keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing, so the user can also hit the spacebar to play the presentation, or press the left arrow key to step back, etc.I've successfully gotten both the click interactivity and keyboard interactivity to work... but only separately, when I try to add them to the same file, it breaks.I also think I've figured out why. The problem seems to be that if I click a button that is only on the timeline for SOME of the frames, the KeyboardEvent listener no longer triggers.
I have a rewind button that will jump the playhead to the start of the presentation. However, from a use design standpoint, I really only want the rewind button visible/clickable if the user has advanced a bit into the presentation (i.e. frame 2 or beyond) because having the rewind button active on the first frame of the presentation can be confusing because it makes it appear to the user as though they can still rewind further, even though they've reached the beginning. I want to take a similar approach to a play button... as long as there are frames to play, the play button should be active; however, once you reach the end, the play button should dim down and not be clickable anymore, which serves as a visual cue to the user that they have reached the end of the presentation.
So, previously (in AS 2.0) this was not a problem. On the frame I wanted the rewind button to be "disabled", I would just turn the Button Symbol into a Graphic Symbol which would make it unclickable and remove any script, and then I would dim the Alpha of the Graphic. So, on frame 1, the rewind button would actually just be a transparent Graphic, and then once the playhead goes to Frame 2, it would be a Button symbol that could be clicked.
This technique apparently will break the new event model in AS3. If you look at the FLA I have attached, you can see that when you first "Test Movie"... any keyboard press outputs a trace statement that shows which key was pressed. However, if you hit the play button to play a little of the timeline, and then click the rewind button (instance name of rewind_btn) which jumps the playhead to frame 1 (where rewind_btn doesn't exist, because it's a Graphic now).

Now my Keyboard listener doesn't trigger!
I've even tried testing to see if the KeyboardEvent listener still exists by using the hasEventListener("keyUp"), and it returns as true, so the listener is there, it just doesn't trigger anymore
How would I go about solving this problem? Because I can see this being a huge issue in a more complicated project, because I could see scenarios where you only want certain buttons to exist on certain frames

I'm trying to call an event I've created in another component. I've added trace() into my methods so I can see what's being called. Everything except for the event listener (myEvent) is being called.

I have been trying to deal with sound attachment. Attached is the source file that i am dealing with(I deleted the sound files because the size is too big): Simply, i have to click on the objects first before clicking on the play button. Each objects i clicked represents a different sound and will be stored in the array. So i will be clicking the objects in sequence and when i click on the play button, the music will play. Now comes the problem with my coding, I was unable to let my music coming out one by one at the time in sequence.

I started working with AS3 a month ago, I know the basics and stuff, but I can't do that much. The user would draw lines by clicking on the stage. The code works exactly as I wanted it to, but it is on AS2 . I tried, but I can't 'convert' it to AS3. I would like to know how this code would work on AS3! Here's the download link of the .fla, so you can see better what I mean: [URL].

I have a frame-by-frame animation. I want to be able to click and drag on the stage back and forth and traverse through the animation. I.e. I want to click and drag from left to right to make the animation go forwards and right to left to make the animation go backwards. How would I achieve this? I am making an assumption that there will be some maths involved in calculating mouse position and traversing to the correct frame, but how would I do this?

am loading an image onto stage dynamically. When I click on the loaded image, i am drawing a circle/rectangle[which is of Sprite type] at exact pixel-position on the image and making these circles/rectangles(Sprite_objects) visible there itself. In this way, I am adding as many number of Sprites_objects, till I continue clicking on the same image present on the stage.
The code in my application(which displays red colored rectangles when you click on the image) is as follows:
If you copy the code into ur actionsPanel directly,then make sure "image1.jpg" file * is present beside the .fla file.Since it gets loaded iff it is present in same directory.
*/ var myContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var temp_x:int,temp_y:int; //Loading an image dynamically and adding listeners... var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("image1.jpg"); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(urlReq);[code]....

I have a button with a MouseEvent.CLICK listener. The CLICK event is being triggered when the button is pushed, mouse is down while rolled out, then released when rolled in on the button again. I do not want this to happen, the click event should not occur when the button is being dragged.
My flash file contains a large amount of buttons and click listeners, I would like to solve this problem with as little code as possible. What is the simplest solution to this problem?

I would like to know how to compose a click mouseevent of different objects in one listener, if ever that's possible.What I wanted to do is make this listener universal for all the button clicks like:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicker);
function clicker (e:MouseEvent):void{
if (frame2_btn is clicked){
gotoAndPlay(3);

I put together this button for statement. Now if I put
ActionScript Code:
for (var m:int = 0; m<btnArray.length; m++){
btnArray[m].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickBtn);
function clickBtn(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code].....
not sure what to do, it compiles correctly no errors given when buttons are clicked, it just doesn't let me do anything w/ the "pressedBtn" variable outtside of the for loop that it's in.

I thought I had a handle on the timer class (even just a beginners understanding), but I'm having trouble with it.I have an event listener for the timer and it starts fine i get a delay, then a tween,but when I place a myTimer.stop();in the fuction the listener called (to stop it) it dosent stop.it will repeat placing the first image, and then call the first function again
......Wait its placing the first image in (a couple of lines before the start), so Its restarting the whole movie, not just the function?
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tweenone)
myTimer.start();
function tweenone (event:Event):void[code]...........

I have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. need to develop a set of x cordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc etc
