I have created a scrolling bar menu. All the buttons in the menu work except for the last two. When I place a trace statement within the function it definitely is listening to all the buttons except for the last two. All instances are named correctly. Can the size of the scroller be contributing to why the addEventListener is not working?
View 5 RepliesI created an FLA file that has a control bar (with play, pause, etc.) that I want to appear only when the mouse is moved onto the stage. When the mouse is moved off the stage, I want it to fade.I used the code below but it seems that the MOUSE_OVER event is only captured when the mouse is moved over some object on the stage. When the mouse is over an unused part of the stage, the event is not fired and the control bar remains invisible.barBg_mc is the name of the control bar in the code below.
Code:
import caurina.transitions.*;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, event_ControlBar_Show);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, event_ControlBar_Hide);

View 1 RepliesI am trying to make an interactive flash application that works by detecting mouse overs and clicks on various buttons/movie clips and then moves to the appropriate part of the time line. But I am having an issue when I use more than one addEventListener in any one frame. I have attached the code for one such frame below. When I comment out the addEventListner and the other code relating to the followBall function this works fine and directs the user to frame Inlet_Valve_Open_Frame but now only the followBall function is working and when i try to click on the Inlet_Valve_Button movie clip nothing happens.
Can someone please help. I have never read all the help files on the adobe flash CS3 as i don't have time and i have built this code up based on examples i have found online. I wanted to include my fla file but it's to big 6Mb. But i have attached the swf so you have an idea what i am doing.

View 5 RepliesI have made the flash file into CS3 and simplified the idea a bit. Basically I want to click the box on the right to start playing the song and the spectrum and then if I click it again it will stop playing the song and the spectrum then if I click it again it will start playing again ect ect. I could not upload the song.mp3 cause the file size was too big you will have to replace it with another mp3 in the root of the folder and name the mp3 song.mp3.

View 1 RepliesI currently have a .swf file that is nested into another .swf file. In the parent SWF file I use a UILoader to load the other .swf file. uiLoader.source = "data/child.swf";- In the child SWF file I have stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyPressedDown); and when I run it on it's own, it works perfectly; but when I run child.swf through parent.swf stage.addEvent... give me a null reference exception. Is the stage part of what is causing the issue?, and if so, is there a way to fix this?
View 2 RepliesI want to add a series of event listeners. they work fine in individual lines of code:
ActionScript Code:
home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
resume.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
portfolio.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, route);
but when i use this loop, i get a 1006 error, "value is not a function":
ActionScript Code:
var buttonNumber:Number;
var buttonName:Array=new Array("home","resume","portfolio","contact");
for (buttonNumber=0;buttonNumber<4;buttonNumber++) {
buttonName[buttonNumber].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,route); }
is there something obvious that's wrong with my last line in that loop? i've narrowed it down to the part where I call the array value. but after that - I'm at a loss!

I have a for loop that loads a variety of movie clips that I want to have function as buttons. From what I've read adding an event listener is the way to go but I'm not sure how in this case. I've searched online and found a few articles that come close to what I need but not quite. Can't I just tack on an event listener for a mouse click on these objects and have it run a function I have defined elsewhere?Also in said function what code would I need to use to reference the button that was just clicked, would this. work?

add an event listener to a button so you can see when it's been clicked but can you add one to a variable to perform an action when the variable changes or do i just have to use an onEnterFrame function to check the value and act on it if it's changed?

View 5 RepliesSo I have an MC that has 6 labels and 6 buttons all with different names. When you click on a button, it needs to direct you to it's appropriate frame label in the MC. Now, since AS 3.0 has done away with inline functions, how the heck do I code it so I don't have a function with a bunch of if statements inside of it in addition to all of my eventListeners that I have to add to each of my buttons? In AS 2.0, I would have done it like so:
Code:
function movePlayhead(whichOne:String):Void{
this.gotoAndStop(whichOne);
} button1_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
movePlayhead("label1");
};
button2_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
movePlayhead("label2");
};
Etc...
With AS 3.0, you have to add eventListeners to each of your buttons where each eventListener calls a function, but how can I write it so I don't have to write a bunch of if statements inside the function the eventListeners are calling in order to test for which button is being clicked? Like so:
Code:
button1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
button3_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
function movePlayHead(event:MouseEvent):void {
