View 3 RepliesI've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

I have 6 buttons I'm trying to make roll over actions for. The above code works perfectly but I want to make it a function so I don't have to repeat the same code 6 times. However the below code does not work. The first time I roll over the about_btn nothing happens. and the second time everything works fine. In the debugger it tells me the argument is undefined. But the trace action returns _level0.about_btn.
function rollOvers (whichButton) {
trace("whichButton "+whichButton);
whichButton.onRollOver = function() {[code]...
just need to execute a function - myFunction() when roll over a button i can do it coding the button like so:
[AS]on (rollOver) {
_root.myFunction(this);
}[/AS]
or code it in the root where i defined the function, like so:
[AS]myButton.onRollOver = function() {
myFunction(this);
}[/AS]
the thing is, i'm using this for a tween class animation, and when i code it directly in the button it works fine
can i write this AS diferent way?!
myButton.onRollOver = function() {
myFunction(this);
}

I have a function set up to stop a timer internal function pauseTiming():void { timer.stop(); } how would I call that function when a button is pressed, say with an instance name PauseTimer? I would also need to call the function startTiming when the button is pressed a second time. (or create two buttons, start and stop).
View 4 Repliesok so i wouldlike to add a function that will control a variable when the mouse is clicked.
View 4 RepliesI'm writing an app where I want to know which, of an unspecified set of buttons, the user is clicking.The actual location of buttons determined by previous user actions, so I cant use information like mouseX.You can see from the code the way I'm attacking this - trying to access the button based on its position in the display list of a container. Unfortunately this has always led to type coercion errors 0 - AS can't see that e.target is a DisplayObject.se has solved this problem.

I have box mc and a textbox called "test" and I have a sentence in there saying trace("word")
how would I make the sentence become the function when box clicked? Like when box clicked it traces since the sentence has the code... like for example ...
box.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, try)
function try(event:Event)
{
var newString:String=test.text
}
is it the function that has to be changed (text:String)?? Id like the textbox to contain/execute the code not "hardcoded".
My document class is Controller It's constructor addChilds an instance of MenuScreen
MenuScreen has 1 button called 'gallery'. Clicking on it removes the MenuScreen from the document class and adds galleryScreen to the Document class.
After the galleryScreen becomes a child of the document class I add a keyevent listener like so:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
Here's a snippet of keyDownHandler:
ActionScript Code:
public function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void{
[Code]....
The Problem is: 1) I'm pressing LEFT arrow key like mad and nothing happens UNTIL I left click anywhere on the screen, THEN keyDownHandler works.
I have a function that is called by a CLICK eventListener. I want to call the function as if the button was clicked, but it wasn't really clicked.
Code:
var tempEvent:Object;
tempEvent.target = printMC.getChildByName("print0");
buttonFunction(tempEvent as Event);
[Code]....
I have these function which are called when the file is started. However how can I call it when I click a button:
function processXML(e:Event):void {
myXML = XML(e.target.data);
// after this executes you can call getXmlValues();
getXmlValues(nodeId,n,stopAtNumber);
} function getXmlValues(nodeId,n,stopAtNumber):void {

I've set up a function to pause the sound in an mp3 player whenever certain things are clicked on the page, using ExternalInterface, but I'm having a problem in IE.The setup is this: I have a video page that calls up a list of YouTube videos using RSS.he most recent video is displayed on the page in a div called "display". Then all the rest of the videos in the feed are displayed as thumbnails and links...If you click one of them, then the main 'display' video is replaced and it starts playing. All of that works fine.hat I want is for the mp3 player on the page to pause the music whenever a video is started.The ExternalInterface function works properly. Whenever one of the LINKS is clicked, the mp3 player stops and the video starts, etc.
The problem is that I also want it to stop when the MAIN video is clicked. Obviously, since this is an external video loaded from YouTube, I can't access the FLA to add its own ExternalAccess code.I've tried adding an ID to the video object and then using it as the selector in jQuery to call the stopMovie function...no go. I've tried adding a class to it, and then calling the stopMovie function when the class is clicked. I've tried putting the click function on the div that the video loads into...nothing works. If I remove the main video and just have an empty div, then click the div, the mp3 player stops...but if I load the video into the div and click it, nothing happens (in IE...it DOES work in FF).The Actionscript:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
ExternalInterface.addCallback("stopMovie", pauseSound);
function pauseSound(str:String):void {

How can I make it that the 2 frames are disabled, and only enabled once you click on the input text?

Is there a way to add an EventListener to a button and make it execute some action when it is clicked without calling a function?
In other words if I have three different buttons and I want to make an action depending on what button was clicked, something like.
If button 1 is clicked do this, if button 2 is clicked do this, if button 3 do this.
I know a different action can be taken using an eventListener and a function assigned to each button but I'm trying to understand more about AS3.
I'm currently working on a project were I would like to enlargen some of my menus ( there are wround 30 menus ), and this should be done when the user clicks a on one of the three buttons in the "main-menu".Now, I've been trying to create a function that, when one of the "main-menu" buttons is clicked, are called. This function then defines the menus and makes them scale, however the following code returns: "undefined".[code]Maybe a "for" loop isn't the solution, or maybe I'm just trying to define the items in a wrong way, with the array thing ( "...item[q].sca...").Btw. all the menus are loaded in dynamically through an XML document.

I have this code written for a game im making, but the problem is that the function 'jump' is only run when the mouse is clicked over the movie clip "grape1"

I'm trying to get this one function to be able to call many functions (not at once, but call many possible ones)In other words, I'm trying to get this variable to be named as a function. That way, this one variable can create multiple functions.example:
actionscript Code:
class Thing extends MovieClip{ var funcvar; var othervar; function onLoad() funcvar = "YYY"; othervar = "ZZZ"; function onEnterFrame()
[code].....
is it possible to write a function to move an object and then call that function on a clip event for instance
function (bounce){
script;
script;
}
and then call it by saying
on(mouseOver){
this.bounce;
}

I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

I need to return to my original function after capturing an event (downloading something) with another function. The original function needs to return a value, which depends on the downloaded data. So, I'd like to pause original function for the time needed for the download and the eventhandler function to complete it's work, and resume it afterwards.
The obvious way is to set a flag value (both the original function and the eventhandler are within the same class) and make the original function check it until the eventhandler function changes the flag. But that would be wasteful, and my AS is slow enough already:) [other parts of the application utilise some heavy graphics]. Is there another way? Like an event that gets captured "in the middle" of the function? Or some other form of flow control?
Let's say I have a Custom Event Class, and it has several Event types stored in static Constant:
