I'm trying to rework an example found in the AS3 PDF manual, to work without the initial mouse click, but I'm not sure what to do.
The example is as follows (found on page 304 if you have the PDF) - I have changed it to move instead of fade, but didn't change the name of the function:

HOW can I have a value shared between multiple classes? For example.
Code:
public var test:int = 3;
This works fine for the "main" class, but in the "animal" class, it can't access this variable. So if I wanted to set a rate of movement for an object, say animal, and I want to change it later in a different function, well, how? Any good guides to passing variables between functions and classes that are easy to understand? HOW can I pass values to ENTER_FRAME events, err...any events really. Example.
Code:
public class animal extends MovieClip{
public function animal(){
trace('crazy stuff happening');[code]....
Lets say I wanted to pass the Y value from the main class and not from within the animal function.
I have narrowed this error down to the following code, but i cant see the problem...
Code:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property ENTER_FRAME not found on flash.events.Event and there is no default value.
at sample_fla::MainTimeline/frameEventHandler()
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,frameEventHandler)
function frameEventHandler(Event){
var collisions:Array = collisionList.checkCollisions();

I have a button that I want to drag and drop to another movieClip which will then stop playing. the button is dragging and dropping fine, but the hitTest isn't working I'm guessing because the button is a button, not a movieClip. I am not clear on how to make a button movieClip in as2
This code is on the button frame 1 and works fine
on (press) {
startDrag("stopSign");
}
on (release) {

I tried to use ternary operator, but I got lost. This ofcourse isn't going to work

I've created a Flex app which uses Coltware's airxmail to send SMTP messages. It calls a locally-hosted SMTP server (hmailserver), which relays the email out as appropriate. When run within the Flash Builder environment, everything works as intended. I can also send email both locally and remotely from the SMTP server using telnet, so I know that it's not a problem with the server. When hosted on the email server box itself, outside of the GUI, the app fails to send email. I've created a crossdomain.xml file to allow this access, but I don't believe it's configured properly.

I've got a grid of images which are added to a imagecontainer(Sprite) in a class. When I click a button, the imagecontainer gets tweened(scaled) to 0.2 Now I would like to start dragging around the images. on mouse-down I add an enterFrame Event:
[Code]...
Unfortunately the image is never on the mouseposition but has a increasing/decreasing offset to the mouse pointer.The alternative, startDrag/stopDrag works perfectly, but I stll need the mouseX/mouseY for placing the image on a grid.I tried also parent.mouseX, no luck with that.Why is this happening? I thought mouseX/mouseY is always depending on the stage-dimension.
Lets say we have a movieclip "Enemy" in the Flash library and a class "Enemy.as" is associated with it which listens to ENTER_FRAME event as follows,
public function Enemy():void
{
//constructor of this "Enemy.as" class

The issue is visible sometimes when clicking the black rectangle, flash throws the click message, but ALSO the mouseOut message immediatly afterwards!

My code is correct, the code compiles (as you can see), it works fine in safari, but firefox 3.6 it up - it does NOT happen in 3.5.8!
I now have working code that creates a mask of about 2,700 children on a 650 by 450 image using a container to hold all the children's MCs.
Can anyone provide any help as to how I can access these children at once with a MouseEvent so that I could for instance change the alpha value of a child shape when the user rolls over it with their mouse.
I have a flash AS3 doc and some classes that I created. On one of the classes, it creats a sprite that may have a scroll bar, (which i also made - not the UIScrollBar component). This uses the MOUSE_DOWN event for scrolling.
On some other classes, there are some objects that use the MOUSE_OVER event.
The problem I have, is that if you click and hold the mouse button to begin scrolling, then move the cursor outside of this Movie Clip onto another with the MOUSE_OVER event, then that event will still fire. Also, if you MOUSE_UP and you are outside the Movie Clip (with the scrollbar) then the MOUSE_UP event does NOT fire, and the scrolling is "locked" on until you click inside that moive clip.
How can I prevent mouse events on objects from firing when the MOUSE_DOWN event is firing for scrolling? Also, how can I make it so the MOUSE_UP event will fire no matter where on the stage the mouse cursor is.
I can't seem to figure it out because the MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_OVER for the different objects have the eventListeners created in different classes.
I have some code that draws a line that follows the mouse and fades away over time, until now it was in the main file of my program but i want to make a class out of it for later use in other programs. I edited the code into a singleton MouseHandler class with one function that registers the mouse up and down events; with trace and 'hasEventListener' I found out that the events are registered but nothing happens when I press my mouse buttons.
Here is the class
package {
import adobe.utils.ProductManager;
import flash.display.DisplayObject;
import flash.display.DisplayObjectContainer;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Sprite;
[Code] .....
In my main class I just use
MouseHandler.getInstance().startListening(this);
I have a special canvas class covering my entire stage, and a bunch of Sprite hotspots on the layer below. If I put the hotspots on the same layer as my canvas, the canvas does not register MOUSE_DOWN events if my mouse is inside one of the hotspots, since the hotspots are targeted instead. However, if I keep the hotspots on the lower layer, the canvas handles all the MouseEvents. Is there any way to make MouseEvents target more than one thing, so that both the canvas and hotspots respond to MouseEvents? (The canvas is a bitmap drawing class and the hotspots are supposed to trigger when the cursor touches them or clicks on them.)
View 2 Repliesfrom the actionscript language reference in mx2004:
on()

Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2.
Usage
on(mouseEvent) {
// your statements here
}
Flash 2. Not all events are supported in Flash 2. <---- !!! which ones aren't supported? i couldn't find this in the AS2 docs anywhere.
and would this mean the same thing for this usage?
target.onMouseEvent = function(){

I made a spiral in pv3d using a mc for material and added a listener for the mouse events.Now the problem is that when i rollover my mc the rollover tween start and directly start the roll out tween.The clickhandler is rendered useless.So before adding tweenlite to the class everything works fine?
View 2 RepliesWhen I have a Label on a Sprite for example, it doesn't respond to MouseEvents, or at least not correctly. For example, if I set buttonMode = true on the Sprite, the label won't have the clicking cursor. Is there a work around for this? Other than stacking another Sprite on top of it which seems very inefficient.
View 3 RepliesI was just wondering if there are any problems that could arise from passing MouseEvents of different types (i.e. MouseEvent.CLICK or MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN) at different times to the same function? I've already built my project, and it seems to function fine, I just want to make sure that I'm not setting myself up for some problems in the future. I understand it's probably not the "cleanest" or "best practice" to construct my project in this manner, but if it works...
A simplified example:
PHP Code:
// This is the function that I want to call from varying places with different MouseEvents and triggered by different event listeners
function myFunctionA(evt:MouseEvent):void{
[Code] .....
Actually, in writing that, I may have answered my own question, because it seems that myFunctionA is simply expecting a MouseEvent... regardless if that event is CLICK or MOUSE_DOWN or MOUSE_UP event, right? Now, a MouseEvent.CLICK may have different properties than a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP that I can access within myFunctionA; however, that shouldn't matter to the function, or is my thinking flawed?
been working for while in an AS3 project. realize now that any InteractiveObject on key tab focus doesnt invoke its MouseEvents, MOUSE_OVER AND MOUSE_OUT listeners. I know this is not suppose to happen automatically but in AS2 I would define at beginning of project a prototype action on MovieClip that it should rollover when on setFocus.Is there a way for me to set on the entire project that any InteractiveObject on key tab focus should invoke its MouseEvents if they exist?
View 2 RepliesI would like to know how to compose a click mouseevent of different objects in one listener, if ever that's possible.What I wanted to do is make this listener universal for all the button clicks like:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicker);
function clicker (e:MouseEvent):void{
if (frame2_btn is clicked){
gotoAndPlay(3);

I have some textfield buttons which is basically textfields in sprites.The problem is that the textfields/sprites responding to MouseEvents properly.
eg. the alpha and rotation property doesn't work.
if I say set text button to alpha = 0 on mouse over it does nothing, or if i say set rotation to 180, the text button just disappears.
Has it got something to do with embedding fonts?and why when I embed my fonts do they not show?
I'm using a ScrollPane to contain a listing of sentences that sometimes have links in them. When the user clicks the links it does something.
When I don't put these inside of the ScrollPane the links work. When I put them in there apparently the ScrollPane is blocking the MouseEvents, or maybe it doesnt really register them since I don't know how setting the content works (if it adds the content as a child or draws it as a Bitmap inside or what)
I made a very simple scrollBar using the MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN event, which works fine. The problem is I have a few other obejcts that have MouseEvent.Mouse_OVER events, and so if you are dragging the scroll bar, and then move it over one of the objects, the Mouse_OVER event fires. Is there a way to prevent this?

I had a dynamically created list of MCs that each had rollover states as well as click actions. Everything was working fine...
...Since the list was longer than the bounding areas that I wanted it constrained to, I added a mask to the container MC that was holding the dynamically created list (using AS3 - not through right-clicking the Layers). Now the list is still being generated, but the CLICK and MOUSE_OVER events are not working.
I'm building an air app which will run on iPads. For the touch interaction I'm using just MouseEvents handlers (MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_MOVE, MOUSE_OUT, MOUSE_UP) because my app don't need multitouch, now I'm wondering if there is any difference in execution speed, should I use the equivalent touch events or the mouse events are faster?
View 2 RepliesI am plain stumped. I am working in F8/as2.0.I have a class that extends the MovieClip class. I have a blank_mc in the library that is linked to the class. Here is the constructor:
ActionScript Code:
public function MyMC (target_mc:MovieClip){
var _mc:MovieClip = this;
_mc = target_mc.attachMovie (.....);
}
That works all fine and dandy. Where I am having issues is basically I have properties x, y that DON't overwrite the _mc's _x & _y props. Instead, the use getter & setters that take values and then calculate the needed number to set the actuall _mc._x, _y props. This doesn't seem to work at all and i don't know why. Here is the code:
[Code]
So I got this to work by NOT extending the MC. Instead I have a variable ref to a _mc prop in the class.However I am unable to set event functions to it even if I make some ref to the _mc prop. Is there a good way of approaching this by say a decorator pattern?
I have a panel as a sprite containing a gallery of images (only 8 images at the moment!). Each image has mouse rollOver and mouse click event listeners, which work fine initially. Problem is, when I hide the panel using visible = false, then show it again, the mouseEvents aren't firing on the gallery iimages.
Strangely, the same thing happens if instead of using visible true/false, I move the panel off stage and then back on again.
I've got 3 coloured balls and 3 zones which any of the balls can be dropped in. The idea is that once a ball is placed in a zone, it stays in that zone and no other ball can be added to that zone until the current ball is removed.
I've got to a point so that any ball can be placed in any zone. However, the problem is there seems to be some hierarchy with regards to the balls. ball0_mc seems to be the chief ball, and will replace any of the other two balls if there placed in a zone, instead of snapping back to it's original position because the zone is full. ball0_mc also can't be replaced by any of the other balls if its placed in a zone. ball1_mc is the next one down the line and when in a zone, can be replaced by ball0_mc if its dragged over it, but it cannot be replaced by the third and final ball2_mc. ball2_mc seems to be the runt of the pack and can be replaced by either of the two other balls when its in a zone and cannot replace any of the other balls when they're in a zone.
Hope you're still with me?! So, what I'd like to do is make it so each ball is equal, so when any ball is placed in a zone, it can't be replaced with another ball until the current ball has been removed...and they live happily ever after in the land of ballshire.
Here's my code. I've created two classes, one linked to the movie clip balls called 'Ball', and another called 'EgoGame' which is being used as the document class for the main .fla file.

The problem I'm facing is not with loading the content of the Movie Clip, (though I might experience issues with that later when I try to load dynamic swfs) because as for now I just have placeholders on frames.
What I want to know is why my red squares on the left navigation keep getting smaller as I repeat the MouseOver and MouseOut events. It doesn't seem that these squares follow the logic of the code the way I have written it. Some of the code was generated from a previous post with the help of contributors.
Now I have again hit a slight snag with coding the math properly. Initially when I tested the code it worked fine without any "shrinking" going on. However, now with more code added the red navigation squares don't bounce back to their original states, they just keep getting smaller.
I have a flash object on my page and I want to disable clicks on it using Javascript. I tried to use the following code:
document.getElementById('flash-obj').onclick = function(){return false;};
document.getElementById('flash-obj').onmouseup = function(){return false;};
document.getElementById('flash-obj').onmousedown = function(){return false;};
It doesn't work. Is there any other alternative?
