I want to simplify some event handling of an flash app (if that is possible).. so i thought to extend MouseEvent in some way to do it.What i need is OVER, OUT and CLICK callbacks with an extra parameter (an object)... or something like that..I tried:
Code:
package com.ui{
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code].....
I have several stage event handlers to enable mouseovers over several dynamically generated moviecilps on the stage that then change their alpha to indicate the mouse is over that particular mc... fairly trivial (mcOver handler). Additionally, I also want to know what MC is clicked, so I update a public variable (public var activemc:Number) with the ID of the dynamic movieclip when the mouse is over it (using a hitTest to check, which is why the EventListener is added to stage and not to the MC), which is checked in the mcClicked handler:This is in the constructor:
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);[code]....
However, the mouseover behaviour (alpha 0 when over, alpha 1 when out) stops working as soon as I click on any movieclip on the stage, and the mcClicked ID checking (below) stops working completely. I don't know if this is to do with focus:
private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
}
I then tried adding the event handler for the stage mouse_move again and this gets the mouseover working again but only for 1 more click, after which it stops again:
private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);
I have a MovieClip (call it base_mc) which is under a bunch of other MovieClips (call them subclips). The MovieClips on top are all mouseEnabled with MOUSE_OVER, CLICK, etc, event handlers. I want to capture the event of MOUSE_OVER (or ROLL_OVER) on the base_mc as well. Any time I am over one of the subclips I am also over the base_mc clip. How can I capture this event?
View 2 RepliesI'd like to know what is the difference between MouseEvent.CLICK & MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN. Because when i use MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN for a button to set full-screen view its doesn't work, instead of this MouseEvent.CLICK works. So what was the reason.
View 3 RepliesI'm making a button for the first time, and I wanted to use a full click to drive it. However, when I use addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler); nothing happens when I click on it. When I use (with the rest of the code being identical) addEventListener(MouseEvent. MOUSE_ down, onClickHandler); it works like a charm.
View 6 RepliesWhat is the difference between MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP and MouseEvent.CLICK? Why should I use one of these over the other?
Code:myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fNavigate, false, 0, true);
myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fNavigate, false, 0, true);
I have a MOUSE_DOWN handler that creates a CLICK event listener on a child object. Naturally, as soon as you release the mouse button, if you happen to be over the child object, the CLICK event fires.I was disappointed to discover that event.stopImmediatePropagation doesn't interrupt the CLICK event from registering the MOUSE_DOWN as part of its detection cycle. It makes sense that it doesn't but still... disappointing.A MouseEvent.CLICK consists of detecting a MOUSE_DOWN on the object and then if it's followed by a MOUSE_UP without leaving the object, he event fires. I had hoped that by cancelling the MOUSE_DOWN event, it would clear that out of the CLICK buffer, but no such potatoes, alas.This could all be handled with a flag and a couple more MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN handlers, but dang, smacks of effort
View 2 RepliesI have the following:
rwBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, audioOver);
function audioOver(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var thisClip:MovieClip = e.relatedObject;
thisClip.alpha = 0;
}
I would like to change the alpha of the clip that is being rolled over. I don't know how to target the clip that is being rolled over. How do I do that?

I'd like to copy and paste a set of keyframes and frames at the end of the exisiting timeline... maybe several times to extend the timeline. However I've been a bit flumoxed as to how a simple chore like that is done. It does not appear one can copy the frames, then set the cursor at the end and past the frames ahead of cursor, Or do I have to create multiple layers to get the same effect by placeing them end to end down the timeline.
In the included screen shot, I'd like to copy/paste the frames on layer1 on down the time line but still on layer 1. As you can see I've started using layers to create the same effect... but is that really the way to do it?
I'm developing a Rails project that uses authlogic for authentication. And I have a part in that project that is realized with Flex, and I need to know how a user can be authenticated if he or she is logged in or not. I've set up a webservice called UserSessionService and I was trying to get the user who is logged in, but it doesn't work. If I try to get it with UserSession.find, I just get a # as the result (and therefore that's always true).
Here's the UserSessionService.rb:
require 'weborb/context'
require 'rbconfig'
class UserSessionService
def login
UserSession.find
end
end
I tried to extend the UserSessionService class from Authlogic::Session::Base, but that doesn't work either.
I trying to extends ObjectProxy class, the reason is because I want to have a Singleton of the ObjectProxy class, so I made something like
package utils
{
import mx.utils.ObjectProxy;[code]........
when I create my object uniform which is a simple object, I pass it to my UniformObjectProxy.getInstance() static method to get the instance of my objectProxy, ok so far so good.my problem is when I try to bind a property of my objectProxy instance like
_opc = UniformObjectProxy.getInstance(_uniform);
cw:ChangeWatcher = BindingUtils.bindSetter(dispatchColorChange, _opc, data.id);
the dispatchColorChange handler function is called only once an never again, I had check ChangeWatcher.isWatching() and return false meaning my objectProxy is not binding properly, if I create an objectProxy like
_opc = new ObjectProxy(_uniform);
cw:ChangeWatcher = BindingUtils.bindSetter(dispatchColorChange, _opc, data.id);
the binds works just fine, so my thinking is the problem is when I extends the objectProxy class, how is the proper way to do this

My flex3 application downloads XML in e4x format from my web server, and and is left as a bindable XML object locally in my flex3 application. My visual objects then bind to various aspects of the XML object to display the data that I want.My simple program is getting more complicated, and I'd like to extend the XML object and add some functions to it, so I can keep the code that manipulates the XML object separate from my base application. Lets call this new object LoginXML.Can I please get an example of how to extend the XML object in flex3/as3 to create my own custom object with it's own functions. Part of my XML looks like
<nodes>
<node id="1">A</node>
<node id="2">B</node>

how can i pass the param?
1) When your class is used to produce anything visual (Put mc's on the stage)
2) When any part of your class needs to use a property, event, or method of the MovieClip class
I know you can extend (without stretching) a motion tween's timeline to the Right with Shift-Drag.
Anyway to do the same thing to the Left? Nothing works for me, and I often need to extend the beginning of a tween without moving all the keyframes....
Ok, I have spent a little time searching and I can't seem to find an answer to my question, maybe I'm asking the wrong question. here's my situation:
I have a document class called Main.as, this class has variables that instantiate a CreateShape.as class that acts as a superclass. The CreateShape.as class has a protected function that is overridden by other classes (I have a CreateCircle, CreateSquare etc). Those CreateCircle etc classes, use extends to extend the CreateShape.as class, and thus have the ability to override the main method (called newShape()).
