ActionScript 3 :: Adding EventListener To MovieClips Created By Class
Feb 29, 2012
I am trying to add evenListeners to movieClips that are created by a method in one of my Classes. Creating an instance of my class from the main timeline and then adding that instance to the stage.:
//MY CLASS
var createSlide:AddItems = new AddItems();
var scrollClip:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(scrollClip);
//ADDIMAGES CREATES 4 MOVIECLIPS
createSlide.addImages(BG,image1,image2,image3,image4);
//ADD TO STAGE
scrollClip.addChild(createSlide);
So how do I add event listeners to the movieClips created by createSlide?

Reading a book i stumbled on this example:
Here is the class:
package com.learningactionscript3.loading {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
[Code]....
What I deduce from this example is that the swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo and _ldrInfo = this.contentLoaderInfo refer to the same object in the same memory location. So you may think: "well the last added event will overwrite the first one (the internally one added). But it doesn't. The two event listeners will respond sequentially. First the internal listener and then the external listener.

I am able to dynamically create an object on the stage with a function, but I am at a loss for how to access and manipulate the properties of that object from my Main Class.
in my Main Class I have:
ActionScript Code:
NLP_addChild.addObject(stage)
// NLP_addChild is the other class addObject() is the function
in NLP_addChild Class appears the following:
ActionScript Code:
public static function addObject(stage:Stage)
{
var myCircle:MovieClip = new circle()
[code]....
myCircle displays correctly on the stage, myCircle is correctly assigned an x of 300. But myCircle x property cannot be assigned from my main class.

for(j=0;j<7;j++){
var t = _root["gameboard"].attachMovie("Tile", "tile_" + i + "_" + j,

I am building an image gallery which has a very simple design. The gallery has a button area, where the buttons are movieclips, and an area where there are images, which are also movieclips.I am using flash CS3, AS3.Each time I use an eventlistener to tween the alpha value of each image (the brightness) when the button movieclip is pressed, I must call a command to reduce the value of every OTHER image that is in my gallery as well as increase the alpha value of the single image I want.This means I have a lot of typing and I was wondering if there was an easier way to manage my movieclips, such as to use the Array class or the Object class. However I can not seem to on the subject on adding a movieclip instance name and its property to a class that could store the data, or the reasonable command to select/omit other movieclips

ok. so here's the thing..i have a class from where i created an array with the time, name, and position of each movieclip data.. and wanted it to go through each one and execute at a certain time.. So i tried something like this:
[Code]...
the first part works well.. but its when i try and add it to the stage that i get confused.. i tried something but i think its wrong.. can anyone help me? Basicly i want flash to get the array.. use index 1 for the name.. index 2 for the x position and index 3 for the y position.. but all this name referencing in as3 really confuses me.

var firstTestImage:Loader = new Loader();
firstTestImage.load(new URLRequest("testImage1.png"));[code]............
Now I want the movie clip to have an eventlistener that will trace when clicked:
one.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, linkto);

I want to use tweenlite to tween a navui_mc onto stage when I rollover another mc. Once navui_mc has completed the tween, I want to ad an MOUSE_OUT eventlistener to navui_mc, so that when I mouse off this mc is tweens out.The function call at the end of the tween seems to work as it is tracing that it has completed, but i dont think I can have the eventlistener in a function?
ActionScript Code:

When the escape key is released, I close the deepest child in a tree-like structure, and then tell it's parent (which is now the new 'deepest child') to close when the escape key is released ... but I do that while such an event is triggered, that causes the whole chain to close.

I know it is possible to make instances/children interact with other objects by adding an eventListener to each child/instance.But how do you make a random instance/child interact with another random instance/child?Example: let a bunch of spaceships get damaged by a bulletrain by using addChild to place both spaceships and bullets on the stage.

I have class ShowCase that inherite from my class ContentMC (that inherite from MovieClip). In the class ShowCase I have an EventListner that calls a function in the parent class ContentMC. But I get an error that says "Access of undefined property restoreMenuItem".
This is my eventlistner in ShowCase.as.
showcaseItem.addEventListener("CONTENTMCCLOSED", restoreMenuItem);
Here I get the error, it doesn't find the function restoreMenuItem.
The function restoreMenuItem is in ContenMC and looks like this.
public function restoreMenuItem(evt:Event):void
{
}
How do I call this function that's in the parent?

I have an on enter frame listener defined in a function:
Code:
function sideClicked(e:MouseEvent):void {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop);
var targetName=e.target.name;
var a:Array=[];[Code] .....
The looptoposition() function simple calls a function from a custom class repetitively to move an object until it reaches its position. This is the function it calls from the included custom class:
Code:
public function rotateToPos(a:Number,b:Number,c:Number):void {
if(!cubeReady){return;}
if(cube.rotationY<b){
cube.rotationY+=3;
[Code] .....
This gets the desired result visually - the cube rotates until the chosen point and then stops - however the listener continues. I have two problems:
1) I would like to remove the listener but can't seem to do so from the imported class - I'm having trouble referencing my functions in the root flash file.
2) I also need to declare that the function has completed - but the equalities mean that b is either greater or less than but never equal to? Whats a better way of getting the cube to rotate to a set position on each frame? The reason for the equalities are the cube can turn two different directions. So rotation could be negative.

why my variable does not get updated when I try to modify it from an event listener function? for example in the code below _resultXmlList will be null if I try to get it from getXml I think there is no access to member variables from an event listener.

I'm creating receives xml from the asp server its on.Because of this, there isn't an xml file that I can open and add to in the places I need carriage returns.To compensate for this, I've been using the split and join method.[code]Essentially I'm looking for certain nodes in the xml and adding a carriage return to the beginning of it.I had to add the extra quotes around the otherwise it doesn't work.The problem with this is, the carriage return works but it leaves the single quotes in the text.I tried adding another split join method that looks for the single quotes left and replaces them with nothing.The problem with this is, it deletes all the single quotes from the contractions.

I am having trouble accomplishing the following:

some_xml.onLoad = function(success) {

This works fine if I use a number, but as soon as I try to use "n" within the function it throws an error. Would eval do this for me? I haven't used eval before.

I've read that the best way to "comunicate" with dynamicly created movieclips is by pushing them into an array.
For example:
Code: Select allvar itemArray:Array = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
var newItem:MyItem = new MyItem();

Here is my code in creating the clips: box_type1 is a library movieclip. I already imported it to my document class. That is working.
ActionScript Code:
for(var i:uint=0; i<3; i++) {
var Boxes:MovieClip=new box_type1();
Boxes.x=i * 80;
Boxes.y=i * 50;
Boxes.width=27;
Boxes.height=27;
Boxes.name="Boxes"+i;
addChild(Boxes);
}
Now how could I removeChild a specific Boxes? Like the Boxes with a name of Boxes0? Or my creation of multiple moviclips is wrong? BTW That works. It creates 3movieclips.

[URL]I've managed to get it all working though am having trouble extending it more. Basically I've got it set up so that when the used click on another button it loads another xml, basically going to another gallery.It works fine apart from the fact that when i change the gallery, if the previous one has more photos then they are left over in the thumbnails of the new one. So basically what i need to do is remove the created movie clips, when i click on a button then load the new xml file. I can get them using the following code, added onto the end of the tutorial:
Code:
image_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(tlistener);
image_mcl.loadClip(thumbnails[k],"thumbnail_mc.t"+k);
[code]....
Obviously this isn't what I want as it removes them just after they are created, i was just trying to figure out how to remove them! I've made this function global etc and had buttons use the function but it still wont remove them!The Full path to the created clips is contentHold.content2.gallery.thumbnail_mc.t[i], where i is the numer of photos in the gallery.I created another movie clip within the thumbnail_mc clip and could manipulte that so i'm guessing it has something to do with them being created dynamically?

Movieclips created on the stage and instanced behave differently from dynamic movieclips in that they are destroyed when you go to the next frame (I have a stop on every frame). If I create that same movieclip dynamically then it will stay on the stage forever regardless if I go to the next frame or not. I understand that it needs to be removed from the display list but I can't find any event that is fired on a next frame basis. I could use onEnterFrame but at 30 fps, that's alot of overhead. The idea is to have all the code contained in my .as file.

I'm trying to remove movieclips created at run time using "createEmptyMovieClip" but I'm having a problem calling the "removeMovieClip" function. The difficulty seems to be that the string that I assign as the instance name of the new movie clip doesn't actually refer to the created clip when I try to call"removeMovieClip".
So the "removeMovieClip" function doesn't work if the target name is pulled from the array. My guess is that this has something to do with the values of the array being strings...and it does when I manually type Apple.removeMovieClip(); in because Apple is the movieclip object name. How do call the "removeMovieClip"function using a var as the target?
