I'm trying to tween six Movieclip (using TweenLite) in an Array to where they scale up when pressed. When another is pressed it scales up and the others will scale down. I'm having trouble getting them to do this consistently. This is probably a minor fix for most of you, but I have been tackling this for two days.[code]

i'm new to AS3. Couldn't understand what some of the explanations out there are getting at, so i decided to post it here. In the code example below, what does event.target & event.currentTarget point to?

I have a Flex 4 List component which I have tied a click event to. In my event, my assignment of the source file paths works just fine --> my larger image displays just fine when a thumbnail click happens. My problem comes when trying to attach elements of the dataProvider to text inputs on another panel. Actionscript is throwing an error. Can someone point me in the right direction??

I am loading a series of thumnails through an XML file into a scrolling movieClip. I am able to get all of the images to load and scroll and even control their alpha value using event.currentTarget. What I am having a problem with is getting the corresponding XML attribute(@title) to load into a dynamic text field.Here is a snippet of my XML file:
<thumbs>
<thumb img="http:url_1"
title="Title One" />[code]....
The thumbnail alpha changes and the text field changes to the text that is defined by the first title attribute. What I need to figure out is how to use a variable instead of the "#". I'm assuming that I should be able to make use of event.currentTarget like I did to change the alpha of the thumbail movieClip.
AS3 coding, and despite being able to find posts about most of my problems, this problem has stumped me, and I'm not certain what words to search for.I'm trying to make a list of MCs on my stage to link to external URLs.I figured the following would work, but it just pulls the 'event.currentTarget.name+"URL"'the instance names of the MCs are "idlink" and "findStore"Is there a way I can get the loadLink variable to pull the URL instead of the "idlinkURL" string, or is my logic for this completely backwards?
Code:
var buyLinks:Array = [idlink, findStore];
// add listeners to the menu array

I'm making a tile game in flash and I need to pass event.currentTarget (the current tile) into a new function which sends the tile back to it's start position.[code]I need to call this function from other places in my code..I've tried passing the object itself to another function as a variable but it loses it's start position information !
View 2 RepliesI want to use mutliple images in my flash script and instead of writing tons of code I want to get the 'currentTarget' and assign a variable name to it so I can tweenlite it . Instead of me naming all the instances i thought the following would work but it doesn't.
wedding.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, pan_over) ;
function pan_over(e:MouseEvent):void{
var ct:string = Event.currentTarget.name ;

I've got a problem with an if/else statement within a function which checks to see which 'drop area' one of ten items should to snap to.. the problem is I can only set the start location of each item to work on the first hitTest, otherwise after clicking another item or positioning any item in one of the drop areas, the drop area becomes it's start location due to startDrag() and stopDrag() been called again to move the object..
What I've tried to do here is to create a variable (which does trace the correct (currentTargetHome) movieclip reference, but as a string) but it doesn't work when I try to access it's attributes using [currentTargetHome]. The item exists within the movieclip "gamePage" and the rest of the function works !

I have a movieClip in my library that I am loading into a scrollPane. When I click on the scrollPane I want to know the name of the target I am clicking on. I am trying event.currentTarget but all that I get in the output box is ObjectMovieClip. I want to use one function for all my buttons so when I click on them it loads another movieClip in my library. I realize I could make 3 separate functions, but I'ld like to use just one.

How can I check if the stage contains a movieclip on a specific x and y location on the stage?I'm building a colour-guessing game. The purpose is to walk a path through a generated field of hexagons, each assigned a random colour (yellow, red, blue or green), based on what soundfile you hear. So if you hear "yellow", you have to click a yellow tile etc.But because I want it to be a path, and the colours of the tiles are randomly generated, I have to check which colours border the currently active tile. I literally have no idea how to do this. I thought this might work but it doesnt:
if ((this.tile.y == (event.currentTarget.y - 64)) != null) {
//add the colour of this tile to array
}

I was wondering how I can use something like: var mc:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.currentTarget); as part of another instance name. For example if the currentTarget was a move clip with an instance name of "oneNav" and then I wanted to control a movieclip with the name of "SuboneNav", how could I do it? All the variations of concatenation I'm familiar with weren't working (different variations of ["Sub"+mc]). I tried getting e.currentTarget.name instead but there are issues with using what it returns to reference a movieclip etc...
View 2 RepliesI have flash ui built over the chromeless youtube player right now and I'm wondering if there is anyway to set certain sprites within the stage to not scale on fullscreen without having to do inverted scaling.

I want to remove the appropriate child (e.currentTarget) and create a new child in its place with the next line, but it doesn't work. What do?
1) if I create items in a for loop, is correct to add a new eventListener for each item ? Or should I add only 1 eventListener to the parent ? and call the event through ID ? 2) if I want to scale my item, (a LinkButton with icon image), I noticed that the icon is sometimes resized with delay, so I have a bit of flickering when I trigger the event. Should I not use icons, and set the image in another way ? How can I fix this?
View 1 RepliesI'd like to simply scale down a movieclip (that I'm treating as a button) when the user presses their mouse button. When users release the mouse button, I want my button to scale back to it's normal (.scaleX = .scaleY = 1) size. My button also has listereners for a ROLL_OUT event to turn off (.alpha = 0) a highlight movieclip that rests atop movieclips showing the different states the button can be in.
When I roll over the button, the higlight comes, but there is an annoying flicker problem. For some odd reason, when I press the mouse button the ROLL_OUT event handler function is called, yet I didn't scale the movie down enough for the cursor to be off of the actual button itself. I do not want that flicker. I'm not sure why ROLL_OUT is being called even though the event is clearly a mouse down, and within the mouse down event handler I am scaling the button movie clip, but not enough to remove out from under the cursor. In other words, if I click the button at its registration point, a flicker appears.
Here's my code.
//this add all the appropriate listeners to the button private function addMouseListeners() { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOver); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOut); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUp); }
[code]....
why my rollOut function is being called when the mouse button is pressed, and called once more when the mouse button is released.
I've search through all the threads with "scaling" and "resizing" and can't find the solution.
Basically I have a GUI element on a gallery that I don't want to scale, while the rest of the page is free to resize/scale.
I think I need to add a listener of some sort to the stage, but I'm not sure how to do this.
I'm building some navigation that extends all the way from left to right across my SWF. When the window resizes, I'd like the nav buttons to get wider but not have the text on the buttons get wider.
The buttons themselves are rectangles with a vertical gradient and a stroke around the outside. I'm using 9-slice scaling so the stroke doesn't scale, but the middle (gradient) gets wider or narrower.What'd be great is to be able to select an object or layer and say "don't scale, even if the rest of this movie clip scales". Is there a way to do that, or will I have to do it via actionscript?
i have a diagonal movieclip that I am trying to scale along with the background video. The background video scales perfect, I am attaching the diagonal movieclip (br in the code as bottomright) with addChild
Instead of scaling with the window, it seems to repeat such as the image is displaying. this is the main section of the code that is doing the scaling
var br:mc_bottomright = new mc_bottomright();
addChild(br);
//proportional scale
if ((stage.stageWidth / stage.stageHeight)> (owidth/oheight))

I am trying to achieve an effect of scaling a movie clip on click...very similar to [URL] When the user clicks on See, Hear, Play and Shop boxes, the boxes expand. I have created a box movieclip that has a bar on top. This bar is a movie clip inside the box movieclip. When i try to scale the main box movieclip, the internal bar movie clip scales as well. How to stop this?

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.

//Where myDataArray is an ArrayCollection consisting of my Custom ValueObjects. When i execute the code it displays my list with custom item renderer, which is fine. But when bring my mouse over it, it doesn't give any colour highlight which means it is not selecting. Secondly, when i click on any of the list item, it doesn't dispatch any change event. I tried a lot but couldn't understand it.
If you have a DateChooser control next to a text control and you left click your mouse to select the text then continue holding down the mouse button and letting the mouse button up while over the datechooser control, the selectedDate value changes to the date you are hovering over. I have users that are having issues with this and it happens unintentionally because of the proximity of the two controls. I cannot find a way to stop this effect. Basically I would want the selectedDate to only change if the user actually clicks the calendar control ie. mouseDown or click. Calling functions in those events do not change this behavior. I need a way to disable the control from changing the date on the mouseUpEvent (I think).

What I am trying to do is get the animation of the audio levels (red bars next to the power switch) to only happen while a video is actually playing (videos are in the video gallery section). I have the animation done and I can easily get it to start and stop based on pressing the play and stop buttons, but since they start and pause the video you would get instances where the video isn't playing but the audio levels would be animated, which I don't want.
Here is an example of the code in the play button (using NetConnection and NetStream to play the videos):
Code:
play_btn.onPress = function() {
playSound.start();
infoText_txt.text = "PLAY";
my_ns.pause(spotToPlay);
};
The only way I can think to make it work exactly as I want it is to have Flash look to see if the video is actually playing or not and I can't figure out how to do this or if its even possible using the NetStream command I am using to start and stop the videos.
