Actionscript 3 :: Keep The Value From An Event After Removing That Event?
Dec 4, 2011
I set a value to my xml object (xml = new XML(e.currentTarget.data);) during my event handler function (the function is executed after the event.COMPLETE) and if I trace the object inside my event function handler it shows my xml data.but if I try to trace it outside the event handler function it doesn't show my xml content. Isn't there a way to get my xml object content value to show in an other function but not in the event handler function?
private var xml:XML;
public function XMLLoader(xmlURL:String)
{
var xmlURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(xmlURL);[code].....

I have this in my constructor:
[Code]..
The problem is I get Error: Error #2094: Event dispatch recursion overflow. Why does removechild keep getting called if this.parent does not exist? Why doesn't removing event listeners work?

I hava a custom component and it contains a child icon. If I add a mouse-click event listener to both component(click-listener1) and icon(click-listener2), the event dispatched sequence is click-listener2, then click-listener1. I can understand it. But if I add a custom event to component (listener1), and mouse-click event to icon(listener2), when icon is clicked, the component will dispatch the custom event. In my test, the event dispatched sequence is listener1, then listener2. It doesn't match with event-bubbles rule.
In my opinion The custom event is dispatched in listener2, which triggers listener1. Why event flow sequence is not listener2, listener1?
In component.
icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, iconClickHandler);
private function iconClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{

i have a timer running infinitely time, and there are 2 things that can trigger the timer to stop and be removed, and both scenarios can occur, so I need to check if the timer is on before trying to stop and remove it. How can I check whether a timer exists and/or is running?

If you have multiple event listeners running, is there any way to remove all of them at once rather than one at a time?

I have a basic question about manually removing event listeners in actionscript 3.If I have a function like:
private function doStuff(event : Event):void
{
//let them save
var f:FileReference = new FileReference();
[code]...
How do I remove the event listeners when the saveDone function is called? Normally I just change the "add" to "remove" like:
f.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,saveDone);
However, f is a local variable, and I can't get to it after the doStuff function ends.
private function saveDone(ev:Event){
f.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,saveDone);
}

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.

I am working on a game for my university project and I have run into a bit of trouble. I have the following code here:
function launchBall() {
this.stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN ,launchBallHandler);
function launchBallHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (e.keyCode==32) {
[Code].....
Its set up so that when a ball goes off screen, it resets to a coordinate and launchBall is called.
LaunchBall then adds the event listener to see when the Space key is pressed and that starts the ball moving again. The problem I have now is I cant seem to get rid of that eventListener. I have tried removeEventListener and that doesn't seem to work. I have tried:
if (ball.xVel>0 && ball.yVel>0) {
removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,launchB allHandler);
just below that code and that doesn't work either. It's not spitting any errors out at me but I am completely stumped.

I'm trying to do something that I'm not sure if it's possible. I have to add or remove multiple listeners that will trigger the same three methods (onComplete, onError and showProgress). I was trying to do something like this:
[Code]...
Is there anyway to solve this? It seems that after passing through the addListeners method, the loader instance gets lost.

I was just wondering--and it's probably an obvious question really--if I make an object null and that object had one or more event listeners registered, are the listeners removed?
for example:
Actionscript Code:
object.addEventListener(Event.SOME_EVENT,callBack);
function callBack(evt:Event):void
{
object = null;
[Code].....
In this case have I removed 'object''s listener when I made the object null?

I have 3 movie clips. Each one is a button, on mouse over on each I want the button rolled over to make the other 2 invisable to the viewer, and then on mouse out i want them to be restored.I have been trying to figure it out with no luck. Tried setting something up with 1=visable 2=non, and use these commands on mouse events.

I know using the UI loader when I needed to remove from the stage I used
MovieClip(loaderVideoGallery.content).flvPlayer.stop()
this time I need to remove a loader class event loader from the stage[URL]... The scenerio is I have 5 externally loaded .swfs that load on different frames on the timeline. When one is playing and another button event listener is clicked the previous video remains on stage. This happens when I go anywhere else in the timeline so I would think I need (removeChild)
Wouldn't this have to go in every button listener? If I went from a frame that loads an swf to the the frame that displays the homepage where text is in the place of where the swf was I would need to always have the remove Child event in all other button event listeners am I correct?

I'm creating a class for a game, and I'm having a problem removing event listeners from movieclips in that class.In the class file I have an enterFrame event which puts the movieclips into motion - I want to remove that event listener when the movieclip is removed from the stage.I made the function 'public' in the class file and tried to target it as follows (animal is the movieclip)animal.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animal.onEnterFrameHandler)

I have l modded some code that I am really happy with, it makes buttons bounce around for the user to try to click on when entering a certain frame.. I notice tha the code adds eventlisteners ENTER_FRAME to make this work, when you leave that frame there are now problems with null objects becuase the listeners are still on but the objects are not there anymore..
Ok so attempted solution - I can use a currentLabel on the main timeline to check if the correct frame is reached then use a function if (label is x) put listeners on else take them off... works but then I have to have these objects hidden on the timeline and then add visible=true/false to my framelabel listener.. This works but part of my functionality here is that these movieclips that move are buttons that the user clicks on and they explode and dissapear- but now they dont because I have a code that says on that frame they should be visible..
The only thing I can think of is to have a blank frame at the end of the explode and put a stop on it. Then add a gotoAndPlay(1) into my frame label code. Seems very ugly, you guys got a better way? Can I remove eventlisteners on leaving a frame? Is there a code like LEAVE_FRAME??

i have a movie clip named "contact" inside this movie clip made the same object into a 2nd imbedded movie clip named "em_contact" inside this I did a frame by frame animation and added a new movie clip symbol of a piece of paper named contactbtn_mc on this frame, I added an event listener for a click that acesses on the root level a symbol named contact_mc i told it to go to and play frame 2 that plays out an animation of this object moving into the screen.
my problem here is i asked earlyer on how to stop the em_contact to stop listening for the mouse click once it is clicked. I made the code it come up with no errors but it does not stop the event listener the event listener is still there bellow is my code.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[code]....
what i want to happen here is for the event listener once it is click to stop listening for that event becuase i have a mouse event inside the "em_contact" movie clip on an object named "contactbtn_mc". and that one has a click event on it as well but when i click on the contactbtn_mc the animation above plays out as well.

Do you have to remove event listeners on variables with local scope? By this I mean...does the event listener still exist if the variable only exists as long as the function/method is running?

And if I comment out removeChild, I have no error but, obviously, the sprite remains on the screen. how I can rid myself of that error?

I'm adding and removing stage event listeners I am relatively new to AS 3 and have been building a liquid layout site unfortunately I do not have a strong grasp of classes and have been doing all of my scripting on the main timeline with encapsulated script within MC's.
basically I am calling on the same functions over and over and those are mostly resize functions which I have added StageEventListeners on the appropriate frames to listen for resize events on that stage now as of now I have literally dozens of these scattered about the site. when testing my site things are running fairly smoothly however I keep getting error messages in my output window that go a little something like this.

I'm trying to develop a catching game, just for a bit of fun and learning experience. I've been bouncing between tutorials and I've finally come to a point where I can't get any further. After you catch three sandwhiches, you lose and it takes you to an end screen, however, I'm unable to stop the listeners from being called, and when the game restarts, the food falls, but you're no longer able to catch it or keep score.

The problem is how to remove the event listener later in the program as the usual code isn't working. I'm guessing I should have done this in a class but I'd like to understand this problem better.
