View 2 RepliesActionscript 3.0 :: What's The Difference Between E.target And E.currentTarget
Feb 11, 2009Here is what the help defines both:
targetproperty
The event target. This property contains the target node. For example, if a user clicks an OK button, the target node is the display list node containing that button.
currentTargetproperty
The object that is actively processing the Event object with an event listener. For example, if a user clicks an OK button, the current target could be the node containing that button or one of its ancestors that has registered an event listener for that event.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Event.currentTarget With XML?
Jan 16, 2009I 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.
ActionScript 3.0 :: Run A Function With CurrentTarget.name?
Oct 25, 2011i'm wondering how i can run a function that has the same name as the current target. so when i click a button with the instance name "notes" this will run the "notes" function e.g
ActionScript Code:
evt.currentTarget.name();//run the function with the same name as the target
this doesn't work and returns a Error #1006: value is not a function.
ActionScript 3.0 :: CurrentTarget With Nests ?
Nov 10, 2011If you have a series of sprites in a movie clip, can you get the currentTarget.currentTarget as it were? So if a sprite throws a mouse event, I can capture that?
Sorry if that's gobbledegook.
I have a movie clip called myMC. In that are a series of sprites sitting in a vertical row. On mouse up I want to know which sprite I was over. currentTarget gives me the parent movie clip, can I get the sprite underneath?
IDE :: Event.currentTarget.name To External URL?
Mar 14, 2009AS3 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];

Jun 20, 2010I'm new to AS3 and was wondering how I can use something like:
var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
As part of another instance name.
For example if the currentTarget was a move clip with an instance name of "oneNav" and then I wanted to control a movieclip with the name of "SuboneNav", how could I do it? All the variations of concatenation I'm familiar with weren't working. I even tied getting e.currentTarget.name instead but there always seems to be an issue.

Feb 11, 2011I know I'm missing something rather basic here, but can't figure it out. I want to take a "currentlySelected" target of a hit test and attach it to a movieClip container. It traces as an object, but I can't figure out how to translate this to a movieClip. I'm sure I've done this before--- but I'm drawing a blank.
Code:

View 1 RepliesIDE :: Complex Loop CurrentTarget Variables
Feb 1, 2010i'm trying to create a menu system where each item expands in height when clicked but is then collapsed back to the original state when other items are clicked.m is the height of the expanded state. n is the height of the collapsed state. i is the number tacked on the instance name.Also, I'm using Tweener for smoother transitions. I've done this already by copying out the code but it's 24 items so 24x24 lines of code when I'd like to be able to do it a little more elegantly. Here's roughly what I want to do, but don't know if it's possible:[code]So every box below the one that's been clicked on most recently gets the value of m added to the y value and every box above doesn't.Is it possible to retrieve the value of the variable i that corresponds to the currentTarget?

View 2 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Linking CurrentTarget To Math.random?
Apr 1, 2012I am designing a game in which the player can travel through doors when they are the same color.There are three doors on stage: "door1","door2" and "door3". Each door is an instance of the same symbol. The symbol contains six frames, 3 copies of the door in a different color and 3 copies of the door in different colors with an icon of the player.. The frames are labeled "color1", "color2" "color3" and also "player1","player2" and "player3".
I am attempting to write code that tells Flash to a)select a door at random and then select a random frame for the randomly selected door to set the game for play. For instance, at startup, Flash randomly selects "door2"and then randomly selects "player2". So, the player's starting position will be on "door2" and the door will be red. After this, Flash will select the other door colors randomly from the frames labelled "color1","color2" or "color3".I am attempting to do this with this code:
var min:Number =1;
var max:Number =3;
("door"+String(Math.floor(Math.random()* (max - min) + min) ));
This randomly selects the door.I would like this to randomly select the color of the randomly selected door.
(e.currentTarget).gotoAndStop("color"+String(Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) + min); ));

ActionScript 3.0 :: CurrentTarget Child Movieclip Instance Name?
Jul 15, 2009The code I am having trouble with is al the way at the bottom (Actions layer on the stage). Below the multi-line comment.Basically, I have a rotating image bar. One the first level of my file, on the stage, is a container movie clip called "imageScroll". The code that allows the images to rotate is applied to the container clip. Inside of "imageScroll", are a series of 36 images, each with their own unique instance name.On the main level, I have a block of code which first detects when the user mouses over imageScroll. Next my code attempts to dig down one level into imageScroll and find the instance name of the image the users mouse is hovering over.
I want to then store that instance name in a string "_destination", then take that string and store it in a MovieClip variable "currentClip". By doing this, I can then use the variable currentClip to effect the code at the bottom, which causes the images to scale up when the user mouses over, and scale back when the user mouses out.The way I currently have my file set up, the code always returns the instance name imageScroll. I am using event.currentTarget.name to try and pull the instance name of the image. I have tried using event.target.name, but that pulls the instance name of a movie clip two levels lower then I want to go.I basically need a way to modify my code so it finds out which movie clip inside of the container imageScroll the user is mousing over.For those who would prefer to have all the code here, see below:
