Can you not dispatch an eventdirectly from a movieclip instance on the stage? Do you have to doit from a .AS file class?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Connect Dispatchevent Between Two Swf's?

Jul 24, 2010

One single swf, imgdesc.swf is being loaded into the emptymcholder, by the moviecliploader instance.My order isfolioholdermc ---holds--> emptymcholder --holds--> imgdesc.swfWithin folioholdermc, I disabled buttons and lowered opacity, once imgdesc.swf was loaded, using onloadInit()Now  in the button inside imgdesc.swf. I called, this.unloadMovie(), which  successfully unloads the file, but I am still inside emptymcholder, though I actually want to go back into folioholdermc.tener to check for unloadMovie. But my problem is can I place this within folioholdermc, within the onloadInit() or maybe within the on(press) function which actually calls  the loader in the first place?? I need to enable the buttons within  folioholdermc, and increase opacity, once the imgdesc.swf is unloaded.

Within the onLoadInit() in folioholdermc I added
_mc.addEventListener("end",endClip);
function endClip() {  trace("end");  //plan to insert code to

ActionScript 3.0 :: EventListener Is Not Being Hit By DispatchEvent?

Feb 14, 2012

I am making a class that is used to load levels, and while making the skeleton I thought I'd make some events for things like if there is an error while loading, or for when the loading finishes. So I did that and decided to test the event, via a test function that dispatches the event...but it just wont get picked up.

Here is the main class (a part of it anyway) where I'm adding the event listener.

ActionScript Code:
public function Game() {
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, Start);
this.addEventListener(LoadEvent.LOAD_COMPLETE, Bam);

[Code]....

why the dispatchEvent in the Load class and it's internal dispatcher class, is not getting to the eventListener in the Game class.

Flash :: Manipulate UI Elements Via DispatchEvent()?

May 13, 2010

I'm trying to manually dispatch events on a textfield so I can manipulate it indirectly via code (e.g. place cursor at a given set of x/y coordinates). However, my events seem to have no effect.

I've written a test to experiment with this phenomenon:

package sandbox {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextField;

[Code].....

As we can see, the events are being captured and replayed successfully. However, no change occurs in tf2 - the mouse cursor does not appear in tf2 as we would expect. In fact, the cursor remains in tf even after the tf2 events are dispatched.

Actionscript 3 :: Send DispatchEvent To Child?

Oct 15, 2011

i'd like to send a dispatchEvent to a loaded swf, put into a movieclip. I found a good topic about it : as3 - dispatchEvent from a parent swf to a child swfi have a main.as
another class : submenu.as, that i import in main.aswhen i click on the "main" menu in "main.as", i would like to send a dispatchEvent to submenu.as (because i'd like the submenu to change one of its item, when i click on the "main menu" in "main.as", so i need to send a dispatchEvent to submenu.as) so i put a dispatchEvent in the method "clickButton" in my main.as : "Event.CHANGE"and in the submenu.as, i'd like to listen to this event.CHANGE, and that's what i wrote below ;-)

Actionscript 3.0 :: DispatchEvent + Error 1119

Being a geek and spending my weekends squatting up on design patterns and have hit a problem.I'm using the MVC from AS3 design paterns book and trying to adapt it to my needs. I'm following the examples set by the book and VirtualPet and I'm just getting the error: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property STAGE_CHANGE through a reference with static type IModel.Site/srcView.asline 38 I think I have a feeling where the problem is super simple - but it is still beyond my IQ!

ActionScript 3.0 :: DispatchEvent To Parent Not Working?

Sep 9, 2009

As I'm working on a simple XML photo gallery, I am having a bit of trouble making my Slide class successfully dispatch an MOUSE_OVER and MOUSE_OUT event to the Main class.

Main.as

Code:
// add a new slide
var slide:Slide = new Slide(_slideHolder, "slide_" + no, _xml.img[no], x, no);
slide.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

[Code]....

When I hover over my sprites, the functions inside Slide.as gets triggered - but they don't pass the event to Main.as as I would have expected.

Strange thing is that the Event.COMPLETE gets triggered inside Main.as.

ActionScript 3.0 :: DispatchEvent To Send Keyboard Events?

Mar 19, 2010

I am trying to create an on-screen keyboard for a touch-screen kiosk. Does anyone know how to send a keyboard event to a text input component from a button click event? For example, the user will push the on-screen buttons to enter their name, press tab to go to the next field, and so on.
 
I believe that I somehow need to use dispatchEvent but have not been able to get it to work. For example, pressing the on-screen A keyboard button will fire a CLICK event and call a handler to place an A in the currently focused text input component. The handler needs to be able to dispatch a keyboard event (with the correct keycode) to that text input field and that is where I am stuck.

ActionScript 3 :: DispatchEvent Does Not Work In Secondary Class

Jan 14, 2011

I have a SWF called Application.swf that loads another SWF called jeu.swf. My main class (don't know how to call it haha), is called Main.as. Another class is called actionObjets.as. When I call:
dispatchEvent(new MicroJeuEvent(MicroJeuEvent.JEU_TERMINE, 8, ""));
It works perfectly from Main.as, it works perfectly.

But when I call it from actionObjets, it doesn't work. No error either. I tried putting this line in a static function, doesn't work either. Why can I dispatch an Event from my main class and not from another one? I'm not a programmer and I just don't get a few of the basic principles of as3. Is there a way of doing differently?
