I have a game with two joysticks and I use the dispatchEvent command to send the fire button event. What would be a good way to send the number of the joystick to check who pressed the fire button. A bit dirty way would be to save just the number in root or in my main class.

View 1 RepliesI am adding the same image (play button) to a movie clip those images later when pressed toggle states and play a video.What I am trying to accomplish is automatically toggle the default image since that video is playing automatically.[code]So this does the same thing as click the first image but it happens automatically.[code]
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to lose events, or somehow corrupt the event cue, by button mashing? Our buttonPress function calls dispatchEvent, which starts an animation. The last frame of the animation also calls dispatchEvent. After about 20 fast clicks on a button, the animation runs as it should, but the last frame seems to not call dispatchEvent,because the addEventListener function is not called.My hunch is that the last frame did call dispatchEvent, but somehow the event was lost due to the constant button spamming sending other events.
View 0 Repliesi'm trying to embed a swf to my as3 flex project like this:
[Embed(source = "../assets/next_button.swf")]
[Bindable]
protected var nextButtonClass:Class;
protected var next_btn:MovieClip = next_btn = new nextButtonClass() as MovieClip;
// ...
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAdChange);
next_button.swf is as2 and created with adobe flash cs4. there is a single button inside it.
if i change type of button symbol to movieclip at next_button.fla, there is no problem at passing CLICK event.
i tried to cast next_btn to mx.controls.Button and fl.controls.Button classes, next_btn is becoming null in that case.
by the way button is reacting mouseover and click events properly just doesn't pass it to upper swf.
is there any trick i can do to pass Button events to my container swf?
I've written an imageLoader class. I want to dispatch an event after the completion of image loading to the document class from which imageLoader has been initialized.

onLoaderComplete is the image loading complete event and onLoaderProgress is the image loading progress event. Here i have dispatched an event in inLoaderComplete event. I want to send parameters along with the dispatchEvent. How it can be done?
How do I detect the enter key being pressed on my button and fire the click event handler? (For example on a TextInput field there is an 'enter' event).
View 2 Repliesi'd like to send a dispatchEvent to a loaded swf, put into a movieclip. I found a good topic about it : as3 - dispatchEvent from a parent swf to a child swfi have a main.as
another class : submenu.as, that i import in main.aswhen i click on the "main" menu in "main.as", i would like to send a dispatchEvent to submenu.as (because i'd like the submenu to change one of its item, when i click on the "main menu" in "main.as", so i need to send a dispatchEvent to submenu.as) so i put a dispatchEvent in the method "clickButton" in my main.as : "Event.CHANGE"and in the submenu.as, i'd like to listen to this event.CHANGE, and that's what i wrote below ;-)

View 4 RepliesI am trying to create an on-screen keyboard for a touch-screen kiosk. Does anyone know how to send a keyboard event to a text input component from a button click event? For example, the user will push the on-screen buttons to enter their name, press tab to go to the next field, and so on.
I believe that I somehow need to use dispatchEvent but have not been able to get it to work. For example, pressing the on-screen A keyboard button will fire a CLICK event and call a handler to place an A in the currently focused text input component. The handler needs to be able to dispatch a keyboard event (with the correct keycode) to that text input field and that is where I am stuck.

I would like to pass Parameters to a functions from a button click. Currently I need to call a function that in turn passes the Parameters.
example
gardengate_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_gardengate);
function onClick_gardengate(e:MouseEvent):void{
/*Sends the xml and the paintingCount_Numb to the parseXML function.
This will display the text and images for each painting
*/
ParseXML(xmlData,0);
}
I would think that i could just do this but it gives me an error. gardengate_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ParseXML(xmlData,0)); 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function.
if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
An odd thing is happening for me, my eventlisteners only fire off once then they seem to stop working.
This thing is a movieclip that slides up the parent movieclip and another movieclip within mc slides it down. They only work once.
ActionScript Code:
slider.up.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, activateSlider);
slider.down.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, activateSlider2);
var frameBoolean:Boolean = false;

On my stage I have an externally loaded SWF with a button. When clicked the button dispatches an event to the main stage.
On the main stage a listener then loads an SWF into a loader called gallery. The gallery loader is also being shared by buttons on the main stage which use the event.target.name String to call in SWFs with corresponding names. I am using Tweens to fade-out and -in content to the gallery when a button is pressed.
Loading the SWFs was working until I tried to create a universal button function for the dispatchEvent buttons. The problem I have is that I don't know how to define the String to tell the newSWFRequest where to find the SWF when triggered by the external buttons.

I am sending flashvars to fill in the variables. And this is actionscript 2 because i havent ventured to AS3.
I've ran into a weird problem while trying to send a JSON command to my company's flash player. Basically, i am unable to pass a playlist to this player - nothing happens - using the following command:
player.sendEvent("LOAD_PLAYLIST", json_str);
but the weirdest part is that if I print the entire command using Firebug's console.log, copy it and paste it into the code (thus hardcoding the playlist), everything works like a charm.
For instance, the following code:
player.sendEvent("LOAD_PLAYLIST", "{"streams": [{"src": "rtmp://xxx.xxx.xx:80/redirectvodxxx/nas2.share/h264/512x384/progname1/prog_1_20110804.mp4"},{"src": "rtmp://xxx.xxx.xx:80/redirectvodxxx/nas2.share/h264/512x384/progname2/prog_2_20110804.mp4"},{"src": "rtmp://xxx.xxx.xx:80/redirectvodxxx/nas2.share/h264/512x384/progname3/prog_3_20110804.mp4"}]}");
was obtained using
console.log('[loadNewListofContents] playing the following content list: player.sendEvent("LOAD_PLAYLIST", ' + json_str.toString() + ');');
and if i hardcode it, it works!I've tried all the toString() tricks I can think of (ex: json_str.toString(), '"' + json_str.toString() + '"', etc...) but so far no such luck.

I'm an experienced AS developer, but this is something very basic about flex that I can't figure out. In the class below, I'm not sure why the function imageLoaded would not be executed when the image loads a url. Is there a race condition happening here? The application is completely loaded by the time this object is created and setPicture is called. How can I get the Event.COMPLETE event to fire properly in this case?The line and Log.info functions are conveniences for me, and they definitely work. Here's my MXML definition:

How would I go about as to addEventListener for a array object. I'm trying to avoid running a timer every x milliseconds to check for new elements in array object, rather trying to make a event fire when new elements are detected to process them and remove them. Is it possible with Arrays? maybe ArrayCollections? either is fine.
View 4 RepliesI am looking for an event which is fired (if any) after a chart is rendered (visible in UI) in Flash, we are using Flex SDK 3.0.
