Actionscript 3.0 :: Listening To External SWF For "COMPLETE" Event?
May 26, 2009
i have an SWF file, which loads an external SWF... and the external SWF file is an image gallery that dynamically loads images..this is the code and it works to some degree...
Code: Select allfunction load3dPage():void
{
if(pagesHolder.numChildren > 0)
{
[code]...
my problem is that the external SWF file is added even though the images in it have not yet been all loaded.. this is because flash (probably) calculates the file size of the "raw" external SWF without realizing that it (the external SWF) will run another script on its own to load the images.. so technically, flash doesnt account for the images that will load...therefore the "COMPLETE" eventlistener only listens for the "raw" file size of the external SWF...
basically, i guess what im trying to say is, is there a way i can tell flash to "addChild" the external SWF only after it has run the script and loaded the external images as well...in case you're wondering, this is the code inside the external SWF that adds the images:
Code: Select allvar thumbnail:thumbnailSelector;
var thumbXPosition:Number = 528.7;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[code]...

this only happens when I'm running from my local web server. The external swf get loaded just fine and I get the progress event, but just not the complete event.
Here are the three events I listen for currently
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event. COMPLETE, OnGameLoaded);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Progre ssEvent.PROGRESS, OnGameLoadProgress);

I have a video complete event that was working wonderfully, when it was part of my main SWF, but now I have pulled it out and have it as an external SWF and is being loaded into the main timeline. Now it does not work.
I now get this error on compiling:
Code:
Symbol 'reconnect_video', Layer 'Actions', Frame 141, Line 61119: Access of possibly undefined property COMPLETE through a reference with static type Class.
The code that is causing the error is as follows:
Code:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
reconn.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, completeHandlerReconn);
function completeHandlerReconn(event:VideoEvent):void{
[Code].....
This is code is inside off a movieClip called "reconnect_video" which is nested inside of a movieClip called "journal_open". So the parent of this movieClip should still be the same. The "journal_open" movie clip is the one that was removed from the original SWF. (due to size) I am now loading "journal_open" externally, and since then this error has appeared.
Do I have to do something different since this is no longer the main SWF?

I am loading in binary files with the url class which can be quite large 10mb + and it works fine on my server but another server I am testing on it can sometimes not work. Sometimes it will not load the file and other times it will only load about 20% and it throw a complete event??? Then of course other times it works fine. This server is https maybe that has something to do this it?

i have a question to ask about asynchronous key controls This was what i did
[Code]...
and i checked with [URL]...?newspage=6249 and it looked more or less the same, so why is it that when i move my character and when i hold down a key, it just keeps on listerning to that keypress event listener, instead of just executing the other event. So say, i tap left and after which i tap right, it will work just fine, but if i hold left and tap right, the event listerner will still be listening to the left key. So, i was wondering could anyone point me in a direction as to how should i make my code stop listening to an event as soon as another event has been dispatched?

I am doing this inside a module containing viewstacks and their childs.Calling onInit() on creationComplete of module.When I am inside one of the childs of a viewstack of this module and press Enter, it doesnt not invoke the listener function at all (bp inside this does not get hit).
private function onInit():void{
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);

trying to use some code I have used in the past to pass args through an event listener. This is what I am doing, using an inline function. I dont completely understand how it all works, but know that in one open FLA it works and in the other it does not. The error thrown is #1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property spotlightBox through a reference with static type..." SpotlightBox is the name of the function I'm trying to pass data to.
The main difference in the two FLA's is that, in the broken one, it's constructed inside a for loop. My work deadline is in tomorrow and I am stuck. This is being used inside a with block for each sprite:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function onRoll_Over(e:Event) { spotlightBox(e, new Array("5"))});
And here is the function:
function spotlightBox(e:Event, arg:Array):void{ trace(arg[0]);
}

I have two classes a Player class and a Bullet class.
In my Player class I'm dispatching an event(to fire a bullet) when the SPACE bar is pressed.
Assuming I already have an Event Class named FireEvent.
How would I write my code to listen for that event dispatch in my Bullet class in order to create a function to fire the bullet?
Player class

I have a parent swf and eight child swfs. The child swfs are loaded into an array at runtime on the parent swf using a Loader. I have buttons and functions on and in the parent swf to change out the child swfs. This all works just fine but here is my issue. On each of the child swfs I have buttons that need to call the functions in the main swf to change out the child swfs. The program is an interactive virtual tour and I want to be able to click on a door and have the next room's swf displayed in the parent swf. I'm trying to do this by dispatching an event from the child swf
ActionScript Code:
mainPanorama.bedDoor.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dispatchBedroom);
function dispatchBedroom(e:Event):void {
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadBedrooms"))
}
that needs to be heard by the parent swf and the appropriate function called.
ActionScript Code:
objectsArray.addEventListener("loadBedrooms", loadBedroom);
function loadBedroom(e:Event):void {
tourNum = 5;
unloadData(tourNum);
}
So far this specific code keeps telling me that addEventListener is not a function. I've tried quite a few variants of stage, this, and parent combinations in place of objectsArray but unfortunately something in the parent swf is not hearing the event dispatch.

I am an AS3 coder, but I've been given project that needs to be done in AS2, and am having trouble understanding the events model. Inside my controller movie clip, I have a draggable movie clip that dispatches an event when it reaches a point. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my controller to properly listen to the event.
The dragger dispatches the event as follows:
Code:
var eventObject:Object = {target:this, type:'Snapped'};
dispatchEvent(eventObject);
Controller script--the complete handler never executes

I have built a flash movie that is located here: http:[url]......For some reason after the timeline plays through completly (after the "headshots and potfolios" slide) the listener on the "child and family portraits" button stops listening or responding. Why is that? All the other event listeners are behaving themselves except this one? Here is the actionscript:

I have a piece of software I'm working on that is using a viewstack with 3 canvases. With the change event I need to look for index 2 which is the last canvas when it changes to this canvas I need it to grab data from inputs from the previous two canvases.Within the viewstack events I've assigned the function change() to the event childIndexChange.
Here is the method:

I am sending an event when an sql query returns no matches so that I can continue with the addition to the database.. It seems like actionscript is requiring that I attach the listener to something, but I don't really have any variables that seem like logical candidates at the point where I am in my code. I just want to listen for the isNewRecord event to be called so that I can then run the insert query; right now it's saying call to possibly undefined method for addEventListerner and for dispatchEvent.
public function addBG(BG:Number, datetime:String, batch:Boolean = false):void{
checkRecord('Gb', datetime, matchRecord);
addEventListener("isNewRecord", recordExists);
function recordExists(){

I have a class in which a mc is used as a button. I want to use this button to remove from the stage its parent instance. Here is a small part of the class called LightBox
[Code].....
Is it possible to set an event listener of some sort onto this button, but have it listened for out on the maintime line? That way, when its pressed I can react to it from the main timeline and delete it? Or am I going about this the wrong way?

I'm creating a flashwebsite and I've got a problem with submenu appearing/disappering. What is extremely easy in html/jquery is taking me overburned in actiuonscript: make appear a submenu only when the mouse cursor is over its button and not over itself. Indeed I've my button/MC, that contains its submenu (which is a vertical list of MC), and when I go over it, submenu appears, when I leave, sub menu becomes invisible.
BUT, when I go over the space under the button (where my invisible submenu is), submenu become visible another time. I know that cause is the listener associated to the main button is linked to all its nested MC.

I have an event, which I have dispatched in my main.mxml:
var evt:UserEvent = new UserEvent(UserEvent.USERINFORMATION);
evt.userVO = storeObject;
this.dispatchEvent(evt);
I can listen for it while in my navigation.mxml file, by using
this.parentApplication.addEventListener(UserEvent.USERINFORMATION, onInfo);
But in other component, I can not listen for it, even trying the same as I did in navigation.mxml.
tracing it back gives me an undefined.
the second component is in a viewstack in navigation.

I am trying to listen to an event created in a spark popup tileWindow. The aim is to get an array sent and updated in the popUp, to be received by the calling application, when the popUp is closed. As commented inline below, I have tested that it reaches the point of dispatching event in the popUp- and never gets listened in main application. What am i missing?My customEvent is as follows:

My goal is to pass an email address captured in one component (Comp1) and be passed to another (Comp2). These two components are navigator content of a viewstack. The custom event dispatched the email correctly from Comp1 but somehow could not reach Comp2. The application (Main) looks like :

public class SwfAddress extends MovieClip {

And... it doesn't work... is there any chance to listen to the EventDispatcher triggered by some other class?
