View 1 RepliesI 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 Repliesif 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?
I 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]

I am currently trying my 5. workaround to get my menu done. . I want to move a series of 4 buttons up, after a click and when all buttons finished their movement I want the bottom 3 to move down again.
My big problem ist, that I dont get a check working to see if the function move() hast finished in order to fire the function open(). Is there any listener or so?
Here is my code:
Code:
//Setup and register with Zego Engine
import com.mosesSupposes.fuse.*;
ZigoEngine.simpleSetup( Shortcuts, PennerEasing, Fuse );

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.

Is 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.

Working on an mp3 player that i have cobbled together myself, bit rusty on the as3 so im sure it could be improved in many ways but the it works apart from that i cannot get the SOUND_COMPLETE event to fire at the end of a track, thus playing the next track.

I have an swf loaded into my main swf. So far I can get a button in the loaded swf, to link to a frame in my main swf. However, how can I let my main swf know when the loaded swf has finished playing?Here is my code so far:
Code:
stop();
var imageRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("dylanTalking1.swf");
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();

But it does not seem to work.

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:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

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. We have to capture the screenshot after the chart is rendered, current implementation adds a huge delay in update_complete event callback, this is slowing down the whole job of generating images. I tried to use EXIT_FRAME event, but this doesn't seem to serve the purpose.

What's happening is that the user fills out a form in the HTML Viewer, then when they click the submit button I want to be notified of the page change.
If they land on URL A, then they'll be shown one message. If they land on URL B, they'll be shown another.
However, the event isn't firing.
I've also tried COMPLETE and HTML_DOM_INITIALIZE.
This is very basic and there are samples out there, but I am still struggling.
I need to fire an alert with a yes/no option.
I need to do this in actionscript.

I am trying to create an if statement where when the timer reaches 0 seconds it loads level 2. It isn't working.

I have run into an issue where when you use the onPress function, it won't register the second onPress event if the mouse doesn't move and the user clicks the same pixel. I have to use onPress, and am wondering if there is a way around this. It is just a little annoying that I have to move my mouse to have it catch that second onPress..
View 2 RepliesIn my app I fade a movieclip, and when that movieclip reaches _alpha=0, I want it to send out a signal to let another movie clip begin to fade in.
How do I do this? Is it something even remotely like:
Code:
firstMC.on(_alpha==0) = secondMC.beginFade;
???
EDIT: I don't want to put any code on movie clips -- my code all runs from the root/main timeline.

View 14 RepliesI'm just wondering if there is an event for MovieClips that tells when the MovieClip's animation has finished playing. Basically, I have an explosion movie clip that I put on the stage. I want to have it animate once through it's loop, then remove itself.
View 1 RepliesI've got all of my ActionScript 3 in a document class file. I want to stop a child movieclip when the animation has finished.
How do I add a listener for that and trigger some code on the last frame of the child MC?
How do I scale and move a finished animation (with more than one simbols - do I have to group them or something since I don't wan't to touch the background?) without having to do it on every keyframe?
View 5 Repliesthis one has got me stumped. I want an object to move 10 pixels every time a key is pressed, and I don't want it to keep moving when the key is held down.And I want to know why it moves once, and then waits a bit before moving more. I do not see why anyone would want it to do that!!!
