ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Event.INIT Fires But Loader.content Is Null?

May 9, 2009

The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Listen To The Loader Event - Loop Proceeds Only After The Load Of Image Is Complete?

Oct 5, 2010

[Code]....

As you see from the code above I have a loop that loads images on each pass using the same loader. This works, however, it is looping too quick (I believe) and as such the "addBook" function that handles pushing these into an array is pushing them into the array in the wrong order. Two questions: (1) Am I approaching this incorrectly? (2) If not, is there a way to listen to the loader event so the loop proceeds only after the load of that image is complete?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Loader Content Null After Event.COMPLETE Fires?

May 7, 2008

I have an array of loaders loading .jpgs. After the Event.COMPLETE fires, I trace the content at the current page and it tells me the content is null, BUT on testing the images appear just fine. Here's my code:

Code:
for (var i:uint = 0; i<pages.length; i++){
pages[i].contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, loadImg, false, 0, true );

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Bubbling Vs Capture - Listen To An Event From A Deeply Nested Children

Mar 10, 2012

I know the difference between the two, but I never felt the need to use the bubbling feature. If I want to listen to an event from a deeply nested children, I always use the capture phase. Could someone explain to me why I should rather use bubbling, its advantages, and maybe show me a situation in which bubbling would be the only solution?

I'm have made some buttons (movie clip) and when I click on it, I want a file (home.swf) to load in a loader (mx.contents.loader) and I want the other buttons to do the same, all load into the same loader.

ActionScript 3.0 :: ADDED Event In Loader.load And Loader.loadBytes

Sep 13, 2010

I got this very strange behavior from FlashPlayer debugger 10.1 r82. When I call loader.load method, no ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. But if I open the file and call loader.loadBytes instead, an ADDED event is dispatched to the loader object. I suspect the ADDED event is dispatched because the content is being set as the child of Loader object, but why in the other case it is not dispatched?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Load External SWFs, AddChild(Loader) Versus AddChild(Loader.content), Etc?

Jul 29, 2009

I have a main "shell" swf which, by clicking several buttons, will load/unload various external swfs into a Placeholder_mc which resides on the main timeline in Shell.swf In the documentation and tutorials I've seen a couple different methods, and I'm not sure I quite understand the difference, or at least the reason you would use one over the other...In the 1st method, you can just add the Loader object using the addChild() method:

Code:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);
Placeholder_mc.addChild(myLoader);

This will apparently add myLoader to the display list once it has completely loaded.The 2nd method, you supposedly can add the Loader.content; however, it appears you can only do this once the content has completed loading, so you need to incorporate an event handler with the contentLoaderInfo object:

Code:

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("ExternalFileA.swf");
myLoader.load(myURLRequest);

[code]....

What are the pros/cons of adding the entire Loader object, as opposed to the Loader.content and vice versa?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Can Identical Buttons Listen For Same Event

Mar 19, 2009

I have two buttons that listeners for the same event that have identical instance names?For example, I have two buttons which have the same instance name: imageOne.Can those identical buttons listen for the same event? I tried, but only one button responds to the event listener .why do I need two buttons with the same instance name that listens for the same event?because I have a looping scrolling panel of thumbnails, and when you have scrolling panels, we all have duplicate panels inside for looping purposes...so since I have to have two identical panels grouped together to do the loop, I have multiple buttons with the same instance name.and these buttons listen for events...now of course I can rename the other half of the identical buttons with different instance nams, but a problem arises when i want to use an if statement to check to see if that image is already loaded.for example, say I image1 is already loaded, and someone clicks identical thumbnail that has a different instance name, ti would be too complex to write an if statemen to determine whats loaded.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Dispatch And Listen For A Global Event?

Feb 24, 2011

I know there's been quite a few posts about events, but I've run into a problem that I haven't really encountered before, and I've kind of confused myself with all the talk of "bubbles" and "capture" and various complexities of creating custom events, etc...Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to dispatch a global broadcast style of event.1) If I have a custom class that resides in the Display List (the DispatcherClass), how do I set up this class to broadcast a "global" event?Actionscript Code:1b) If I have another custom class that also resides in the Display List (but in a completely unrelated heirarchy), how do I get this ListenerClass to "hear" the event WITHOUT explicitly referencing the instance of the DispatcherClass like so:

Actionscript Code:DispatcherClassInstance.addEventListener("DispatcherClassEvent", handler, false, 0, true);Is this even possible?2) What if the DispatcherClass DOES NOT reside in the DisplayList?Is it possible to dispatch a "global" style event since there is nothing to "bubble" up through?2b) How would I get a ListenerClass, maybe on the DisplayList, maybe not, to "hear" this event?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Listen For The TextField.text Event?

Apr 15, 2009

I am trying to create a text effect using a custom class. The class receives refferences to the TextFields that I want to apply the effect to, an the effect should take place whenever the text is changed in these TextFields. The problem is that Flash doesn`t seem to provide a way of listening for the TextField.text event of a Dynamic TextField... Or does it? Just to clarify: On the stage I have a dynamic TextField named tText. I create a new instance of my class and call MyClass.addTarget = tText, which is supposed to tell my text effect class that it should apply the effect to tText, whenever the .text property changes.

PS: What I have tryied was TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, but apparently that`s for Input TextFields, whenever the user inputs some text. I change my text through code. I have also tryied Event.CHANGE, but that doesn`t seem to work either...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Listen To A Custom Event In Various Classes At Same?

Jul 17, 2011

I'm using a electronic device to dispatch events within AS3.
 
short explanation: -->

Think of these events as a KeyboardEvent.My point is to dispatch an Event (like a Key that is being pressed) so I can listen to this event on EVERY Class I need to.I'm not sure how to instantiate or listen to these events correctly =/
 
I mean: I want to be able to listen to the key that is been pressed as if that was a global event every Class can receive...
 
long explanation: --> I'm doing something like this:

1) created a (main) Class that extends a Sprite.

2) created a class (KeyboardInput) that extends the main class.

3) created a class (KeyMap) that extends EventDispatcher.

4) created a class (HomeScreen) that extends a Sprite.
 
 My FLA file is associated to the KeyboardInput Class.This Class creates a listener for the KEY_DOWN KeyboardEvent and instantiate the KeyMap Class that dispatches a CustomEvent:
 
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,function(evt:KeyboardEve nt):void { keymap = new KeyMap(); keymap.setKey(String.fromCharCode(e.charCode)) });[code].....

In Flex, is it possible to listen to all event types of an object that's an IEventDispatcher? addEventListener's first parameter is the type, which is a string. In many cases the documentation is not clear what event type it fires. I'd like to attach a generic listener to inspect the events.

Flash :: Using A Custom Event To Listen For Collisions?

Feb 13, 2012

I'm new to flash and programming in general but am learning it to make games. I'm currently messing around with hit detection and its not to hard to test in the game tick ( fired from onEnterFrame). What I'm wondering is if it would be possible / useful to create a custom event that i can listen for. And make the eventListener hear when a collision happens. Also would this be better or worse for the cpu than testing the collisions of lots of enemies on a screen?
