I have been playing with OOP concept... is it possible to add stage event listener from a custom class... I tried to access, stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.Mouse_Move, mouseHL); in the constructor.. It shows error!
View 1 RepliesI need to add an event listener to the stage of this code.. this is for a scrolling slider.. and if your mouse is not over the scroll bar area when you release.. the slider gets "stuck" to the cursor and it won't release. I believe I need to add a listener to the stage for the mouse up state so that if your cursor is elsewhere on the stage and you release the mouse, it will release the slider.[code]...
View 2 Repliesin my class I am trying to add a MOUSE_UP event listener to the stage.How can I do this?

I am using a component in my application, but it turns out, it's slowing my app down big time b/c it doesnt remove an eventListener on stage for mouse move. Is there a way I can remove this listener? I can't get into the class b/c it's a component and it doesnt have any sort of kill function to call.

View 5 RepliesI am creating animation using as3 in which i duplicate the circle ten time,then pushing into an array and giving random motion. When all the duplicate object goes outside the stage then i should remove the event listener. But right now when one duplicate object goes off the stage the event listener is removed.
View 5 Repliesim trying to create a separate class so i can create a custom mouse. But i need to make it so that every time the mouse moves then something happens. as in it dissapers and after 5 seconds the timer resets. I have the code and it works in my .fla file, but im not sure its possible to put it in a class file and have it be the class of the .fla.
View 16 RepliesI am having problems with a flash project I am working on (flash cs5.5, as3).I have a movie clip with some animation in it, and when it reaches a certain point, I want it to call out a function that is on the first key frame on the stage (as in on the main timeline and not in a movie clip...).This is what I have so far in side that movie clip:
Actionscript Code:
stop();addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onTween);
but I allways get this error message:
"Symbol 'ContMask', Layer 'Layer 6', Frame 124, Line 21120: Access of undefined property onTween."
All I am trying to make it do is to trigger the function (onTween) in the main timeline from the movie clip (ContMask).
I have made index swf which is loading other child swf's into index these swf's are images.swf,portfolio.swf, about.swf etc.., I have made 2 public function in each swf which is construct or diconstruct. when i unload any swf then i play disconstruct public function of every child swf.. I stuck in when I remove stage event listener of every child swf then it shows error.

I wanted to remove an event listener from main class stage, but i get the error 1120: Access of undefined property stage. How do I actually access the stage?
custom class:

trace("disable");
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, movevC);
}
What is the correct event listener to detect a child added to the stage? I tried:
[Code]...
which doesn't work. I also tried ADDED_TO_STAGE but that doesn't fire it either. Do you know the correct way to detect when the child is added? Perhaps I should be attaching the listener to the parent instead?
this is the error I am having:
TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter listener must be non-null.at flash.events::EventDispatcher/removeEventListener()

here is my code:

if i have a movie clip with an even listener attached to it, is the event listener being removed automatically when the movie clip is removed from the stage or should i always remove the event listeners manually?

I am trying to trace the results of my listener when the browser is resized...no avail. Are you able to see what I am doing wrong?
I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.
View 3 Repliesif I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.
View 3 RepliesI'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.
View 1 RepliesThis is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.
I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:

how can i access event.target outside event listener method.say for example
my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onC);
function onC(e:MouseEvent):void
{
var m:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip;
}
trace(m.totalframes);/// not working
now what if i want to get totalframe property of m instance, in short for every movieClip clicked.
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);
}[code]..........
This might be more of a subjective question, but is it generally best practice to have one dedicated method per event-types that you add an event-listener?
Such as:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
//Somewhere else in the code...
[Code].....
And if you had a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and other relevant MouseEvents event-listeners to watch for, you could even set a switch statement to handle all the various MouseEvent types.
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:
test01.abtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.bbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);
test01.cbtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, mouseHandler);[code]....
It is only targeting the movie clip, not the buttons inside the movie clip.
