Actionscript 3.0 :: MouseOver Event Cancelling Due To Child MovieClips?
Aug 13, 2010
Which can be seen here...[URL]
What seems to happen is as soon as the cursor goes over any of the MovieClips that are inside of the expandable button the MouseOver event is getting cancelled. and the MouseOut event gets Called (I presume that it no longer thinks it is over the clip due to the call getting blocked by the content clips). This can be seen when the mouse goes over the text (which is a MovieClip inside the expanding button). I'm pretty sure this is to do with event propagation, and is probably quite straight forward to sort, but I'm just not sure where? here's my code...
What I've got is a clip that when moused over expands down, and when moused out contracts back up again...simple right.
The problem I've got is that as soon as I place a child inside the expanding clip (which is another expanding and contracting clip). the listener gets blocked by its child making it contact before it should. This sounds a little confusing, but will make alot more sense when viewing my code here...
Code: import com.greensock.*; import com.greensock.easing.*; var section1:Section1 = new Section1();
[Code]....
By the way I will be putting buttons inside the clips eventually, so disabling the clips contents is a no go.
I have a textArea and would like to prevent the default behavior for certain keys such as the enter key from being run upon user input. However, KeyboardEvent is not cancelleable so preventDefault does not work.
Can I make MouseOver ignore movie clips that obstruct it from view somehow? found mouseEnabled = false, but it somehow doesn't work for children of a movie clip, like: mc1.mc2.mouseEnabled = false; That still acts as a barrier, while my intention is to make some children be clickable while others just be invisible to the mouse to allow things behind to be clicked.
I am set to learn all I can about flash. Here's my first problem: Code: stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,go); function go(e:Event):void { bijtje_mc.x=mouseX; bijtje_mc.rotation=Math.random()*20; bijtje_mc.y=mouseY; [Code] .....
I am not sure if the Mouse events are suited.. but the biggest problem is the MC's, I think. I want the mouse to interact with them.. just like a button you know. Made 3 different MC's, one for when its idle, one when MOUSE_OVER, and one when you click it.. they are on frame 1 , 5 and 10. The problem is.. the mouse cursor isn't interacting with anything.. the custom cursor "bijtje_mc" does work though.
I m trying to make sense of how to load a swf into a parent MovieClip and allow them to communicate.I ve attached two zip files � one which works fine and the other doesn�t. Unfortunately (for me), the one which doesn�t work is closer to my current project.I need to load movieclips into the parent movieclip. The parent movieclip has controls which rely on values parsed from the child movieclip.In the parent movieclips I wait until the loading is complete and so the values should be passed. However, the values aren�t passed unless I use a button (or timer), to pass the values (see the working exampes).The code which doesn�t work is:
Parent movieclip:
ActionScript Code: stop(); var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();[code].............
I'm using AS3 with Flash CS4. I have three movieclips, all using buttonMode, which animates when the mouse is over the MC (MOUSE_OVER) and when the mouse leaves the MC (MOUSE_OUT), using listeners. Or in fact, when the cursor is over one MC the other two animates. My problem is that when i move the mouse cursor from one MC directly to another one, the MC's aren't done animating the MOUSE_OUT-animation before it starts to do the MOUSE_OVER-animation. Probably a recurring issue with an easy solution.
Is there a way to check what frame the MC's are currently at and then use an IF-statement to check what should happen next? Or how am i suppose to approach this problem you think? I'm sort of a Flash newbie, i've just taken some [URL] courses.
I'v created a video. It has 4 layers. An image on each. the page is the same size as the images(all images are the same size). i've added motion to them so the pics move from top to bottom, no gaps in between. thats it. what i want is for the clip to only move when the mouse is placed over the clip, otherwise it shouldn't move.
Ref: spark.components.ButtonBar. In the spark ButtonBar's mouseOver event, how do you determine which of the several buttons the mouse is hovering over? There is, of course, no selected index at this juncture. If it makes a difference, my ButtonBar is not defined in MXML but is instantiated in ActionScript and an ArrayList is assigned to the dataProvider property of my ButtonBar instance.
I have a actionscript "Sprite" class which load a transparent png. When i set a "mouseover" event over the Script, it is throw when the mouse goes over the "square" containing the transparent png. I would like a glow effect to be displayed on mouseover, but only when the mouse is on the displayable part of my transparent .png. How can i do to throw the event only when the mouse is not over the transparent part of the png? Do i have to check by myself in the mouseover handler then do what i have to do?
The mouseOver event doesn't work should be pretty basic but... y'know it's flash and that which should be simple is usually a PIA when you're an actionscript beginner
How do you disable only the MOUSE_OVER event for a an instance of the Button class in AS 3? MyButton.Mouse_OVER = null ; Will not work as it is not a writable property. MyButton.enabled = false Will not work as that disables the entire Button and that is not what I want.
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?
This reads a php file (which in turn reads a database) and returns a series of years that have content hidden behind them. then the years are placed into a dynamic textbox within a movieclip (yearmarker = "yearmarker"+i).
This all works fine. My trouble is i can't figure out how to add an OnRollOver event to each dynamically added clip telling it to go to its second frame.
I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
I am creating a thumnail bar having the thumnail of the images, it has the default visible thumbs of 7 images, while the others must be hidden on the right of the bar. I used the code in AS3 to add thumbs in to the bar, the first 7 were fine, but the others still appearred visible and cover the bar border.My thumbBar is simply a rectangle and what i really did was to thumbBar.addChild(thumb). But all the thumbs appeared visible, first 7 thumbs stayed inside the rectange but the others were outside.How can I make the others invisible and turn them visible only when i use with the MouseOver Event.
I am working on a simple flash project. In Scene 1 I have a large image above and a long scrolling image below which is a movieclip called image_slider. The Scrolling is set with actionscript 3.0 mouse over event listener. When the user moves the mouse right image_slider moves left, when mouse is left it moves right. It works very nicely. Now I wanted different parts of image_slider to change the large image above when they are clicked.
So I decided to do these actions as part of the image_slider movieclip. So I have added transparent buttons to the image_slider movie clip and added event listeners for them and functions to gotoandstop at different frames in Scene1. This works well.
My problem is that now the image_slider no longer moves freely. It does move, but as you can see it if your mouse stops moving the scrolling will stop at the next button. You have to move the mouse again to make it keep scrolling. I don't know why it has decided to do this. how to stop it from stopping at each button edge?
I have an swf with a few images on it, the images glow on mouseOver, and trigger an event when clicked.However, when I load that swf into another SWF, the click event works but the mouseOver doesnt glow.
upon loading of my SWF main page, I am automatically loading 5 external audio files,so they will be ready in advance when the user requires them.However, if the user immediately wants to manually select one of those 5 audio files, how do I cancel the 'sound.load' functions of the others (in order to give my user maximum possible download speed for the audio file he wants first) ?
I am having difficulty with the following functions. What I want to do is just have one movie clip (we will call it plane_mc) go up at an angle, and have another movie clip (oh, lets just call it fallingCan_mc for kicks) that will go down at a particular angle. I got the plane to work fine with the following AS:
I have a basic mouseover in my flex application which changes an image onmouseover and changes it back onmouseout using the code mouse Over "functionToChangeImageSource()" and another one to mouseout.It works fine when you slowly mouse over and out, however if I quickly move the mouse over it, it occasionally stays on the mouseover image and the mouseout function doesnt appear to kick in. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or does anyone have any ideas why its happening?Also, I've tried the rollOver and rollOut instead but it has the same problem.[code]I'd imagine you're correct about the mouseover event not completing before mouseout is but how to I fix this?
I'm working on a video player with full screen capabilities. I have the control bar set to tween in and out of the video screen with a mouse event. I'm also trying to position the control bar at the bottom of the screen when it's in full screen mode. My problem is that the control bar doesn't reposition when in full screen because of the tween functions. I'm thinking that whatever solution comes up that I might go in the if statement of the full screen code.
I have a simple movie clip for which i bind two events 1-MouseOver and MouseOut
in these events i am just tracing simple text
But the Problem is when i take my mouse over the movie clip both events called tracing the string in the output panel
Infact, things should be done like that on mouse over, its text is printed and when i take my mouse away[out] from the movieClip MouseOut event should be called.
I have a movieClip within another MovieClip. I gave the child movieClip the instance name "hSprite" and I added it to the parent movieClip stage. Now I get an error like the following.
[Fault] exception, information=ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property hSprite on com.objects.Hero. If I remove the instance name from the child movieclip, then the error goes away. but when I add the instance name back, the error reappears again.
Keep in mind that both classes are set for export. The parent class is embeded by a custom class which work perfectly fine. But the minute I give the child movieClip a instance name, the error starts up again.
