When using the class listed below, I am unable to add a CLICK function that will not break the piece. I want to add another tween on CLICK that clears all mcs off of the stage except the e.target, which will have a zoom applied to it... I get my trace fine, but then I am unable to CLICK again on that particular mc, and the proximity begins to break.
Code:

i know its easy to override a function of a parent class, but I need to be able to override a function for a class on movieclip.. see highlighted code.
[Code]...
So I am trying to access a variable that is defined within my parent code from a class which has been called from my parent code. I am using this:Code:TileCode(parent).game_quests.add_quest(0);to try to access the game_quests variable (which is defined within TileCode). However, for some reason it is not picking that up. It is working for other variables which I have called and ran in a similar fashion

i am using xmllistcollection for displaying data in list. whenever i run my application data is display in list control, but this warning has displayed in console. How can i remove this warning warning: unable to bind to property 'xmlnode' on class 'XML' (class is not an IEventDispatcher)
View 1 RepliesFor some reason I am no longer able to select any of the movie clips I have in my 1-Frame game. I've tried all the different mouse tools, and none have worked. Flash seems to think that they have all become part of the background. The biggest problem is not being able to put more symbols in the game

I'm trying to use the double click event, but its not working. I found one thread on Kirupa where Krilnon said you have to use doubleClickEnabled = true When I use it like this:
[AS]
_play.doubleClickEnabled = true;
_play.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK , function(e:Event):void {
trace('huh?');
vs.play(flv);
[code]....
Double clicking just doesn't do anything and the event doesn't seem to register (trace doesn't happen)....
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?
I created a movieclip animation that only activates when i rollover the movieclip button. I further extended the frames and created another frame animation that i active only when user clicks the button. So i have a roll over/out animation and click animation in the same movieclip in the same layer. Now the problem is that when i click on the button, its supposed to take me to another page, and it does, unfortunately without the click animation. That means after i click on the button its supposed to first finish the click animation and then go to another page. But when i click, it takes me to another page without showing the click animation
SO I tried the If function, but i seem to make a mistake somewhere and i dont know what to do. Now there is no error in script, but onw there is a problem in link, the button finishes the click animation but it does not go to the tarrgeted"about" frame. here's the code

I have an image scrolling setup like in itunes, however I am unable to click on the images to play a frame in my timeline (i.e. I�m going to click on one of the revolving pictures, which change to another frame, enlarging a square on the page which contains information).

I am new to flash and creating a file with a series of 25 images. I have each image on its own keyframe in the stage1 and I have buttons for: play_btn, stop_btn, next_btn, prev_btn My next and prev buttons work ie...

but I am unable to get any AS3 code to work as a Mouse.Click to play the series of keyframes. Every time I try to add a gotoAndPlay to the play_btn my file just starts a continuous loop.
I have a simple TLF text box on stage. i want to be able to click some words in the text and based on the selection clicked got to some other place on a timeline or set a variable (not a link to an external web page).
sounds like it shout be simple but i cannot seem to find any information about it.
i seem to remember having done something similar years ago in as1 or as2.
In my first AS3 project (not used Flash since AS1) I need to use a custom movie clip as a cursor and detect clicking on a button. Using the code below, the custom cursor works as expected, but I am unable to capture clicking on the button.
If I comment out the first line, the trace for clicking works as expected. I have tried changing the order of the event listeners, applying the follow to the button rather than the stage, but cannot get both to work together.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,follow);
start_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, playPhrase);
function playPhrase(event:MouseEvent) {

I'm doing a basic site with frame labels on the main timeline whose name corresponds to the btn names. A simple otoAndPlay(evt.target.name); I have a basic navigation setup of 7 mcs with mouse eventlisteners for CLICK, ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT.
Example:
prepare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);plans.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);retire.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
[Code]....
Does anyone know a better way to do this so when my mcs are clicked they display the rollover content/art? In essence I'm trying to achieve that when the user clicks a btn it goes to that "page" and the corresponding btn stays highlighted. Pretty standard web navigation technique but I just don't know what the best way to do this in flash is and with how my site is setup.
I'm using a library that has a function that returns an instance of some class Engine.
I'd like to tack on some interfaces to Engine, so I subclass it class InterfacedEngine extends Engine implements AwesomeInterface. but when I change the code that uses the classes from this:
var engine:Engine = generateEngine();
to this: var interfacedEngine:InterfacedEngine = generateEngine();
It gives me a runtime error (elision mine):
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert ...::Engine@1bc2bf11 to ....InterfacedEngine.
What about AS3 classes am I misunderstanding?
I have beginner's skills in AS3 and have been trying out a sample script in Flash CS5 to create an animation. The script works fine, but I am not sure how to give the user the ability to pause the animation by clicking on the screen and then resuming the animation by clicking again (if this toggling is even possible for a click event handler to do). Is there a way to pause/continue a function by clicking the player screen?

If you solved it right, a message pops up telling you "Well done" (or something in Dutch).You can close the message with a left-click.Now i want it to close with "esc" too (for the troubled users not realising you can just click).[code]...

I'm trying to replace instances created by dragging and dropping into a MovieClip through Flash's IDE with actual classes so I can add them to a game loop and have them as actual entities. In other words, I'm trying to create a streamlined way to allow developers to visually add their entities to a platforming engine I'm working on.
This is my third attempt at it and I'm completely stuck.The code below loops through a movieclip that contains an exported symbol with a class linked to it named MyEntity. However, it loses its extension to BaseClass and thus doesn't move when compiled.
It inherits: MovieClip > BaseClass > MyEntity. However when compiled with the IDE it ignores BaseClass and just does MovieClip > MyEntity.
My code is designed to find and store the position of MyEntity, remove it from the container movieclip, add a brand new instance of it (with the base being proper) then set that new instance to the same position of the original.
for ( var i:int = 0; i < LayerInIDE.numChildren; i++ )
{
// first we want to get all the display objects in the layer
// these are objects that were placed from within the Flash IDE (ie. dragged and dropped into the MovieClip
var original:DisplayObject = LayerInIDE.getChildAt( i );
[code]....
This does not work.
It outputs Game.entities::MyEntity [class MyEntity] false. MyEntity is a proper class and DOES extend from BaseClass. However, the issue is the IDE weirdly removes the reference to the base class - as if MyEntity never had a base class. I cannot seem to recreate it as getting the reference to the class also returns that MyEntity never had a BaseClass. However, if I type in var newEnt = MyEntity(); instead of getting the class name through getDefinitionByName it works normally and extends from BaseClass.I need it to extend from BaseClass as that is the main class all entities in my game engine require to use.
I ran into some trouble trying to load a new image from the class other than the "document" class. Attach is a sample of what I'm dealing with. Loader.as is the document class. I can create an image fine from there but not from GamePanel.as.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to use "maxPauseBufferTime" property in NetStream class.I am using Adobe Flash Pro CS3. I have defined an object by the name nsStream of NetStream class. When I write nsStream and put a dot next to nsStream it shows me a drop down list of the properties of NetStream. However it doesn't show me maxPauseBufferTime property. I also tried the same with Adobe Flash Pro CS5. Even there the drop down list for nsStream doesnt show me the maxPauseBufferTime property.The adobe help page (first link that shows up when I google for as3 NetStream. Forum rules doesn't allow me to post the link here) indicates that this property is part of NetStream class.
View 3 RepliesI'm looking at the XML class. I would like to be able to access elements by name and the order they came in.
For example, if an xml document is structured like this:
<a>
<b>info</b>
<d>something</d>
<b>more info</b>
</a>
[Code]...
xml_object.childNodes.length will return the number of childnodes there are. But I don't see a way to get at the number of childnodes of a particular type. This will not tell me, for example, how many childnodes of type "b" that "a" has. I can't see Flash XML support being this sparse. Is there a built-in way of accessing the nth child of a node of a particular element name or am I stuck with accessing it only by number.
