onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_x = random(5) + 240;
_y = random(5) + 180;
}
How do I stop this piece of code at a specific frame?
Probably real simple but I have tried to insert stop(); at the specific frame I wanted to stop at but to no avail.
I have a set of 5 text buttons that I want to alter slightly with actionscript. An OnClip event moves the 5 text buttons onto the screen, then each button has a stop action as well as an OnPress/OnRelease that rotates it from black text to blue text and rolls back to black text again. I just need it to be black text to blue and stop when the viewer clicks the link to go to an HTML page.
How would you code it so that the text button rolls from black to blue and stays BLUE for the selected HTML page as long as the user is on it, letting them know where they are in the site's navigation. The sample code from button 1 is below:

I have a button then when clicked plays a random movie clip on release. The problem is if people don't wait for the clip to finish and just keep clicking, more random movie clips overlap the first one. I'm trying to figure out a way to make it so clicking is does nothing until the clip is complete, or a set amount of time has passed since the clips are all the same length.

View 1 RepliesI have a timeline, with an instance iDropZone. I am loading an SWF into that instance. The .swf that i'm loading has an OnClip (MouseUp) event in its Action script. Which i use to open a new browser window when the clip is clicked. When I run the swf by itself it works fine, but when I load it into my main movie, the blank window opens even if I click outside of the iDropZone. I understand that it has to do with the path to target. But Flash gives me an error when i do _root.iDropZone.OnClipEvent....
View 1 Repliesi 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'm programming a simple game for school, and now I get the following error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at actionscript::EnemyFighter/onEnteringFrame()
I think this is because the object that calls this function does not exist anymore (it is removed from the stage). However, I did add an event listener for this and let it remove the ENTER_FRAME event listener. Therefore, this function should not be called anymore...
I tried to give the class a variable 'exists', then setting this to 'false' in the function that is called when the object is removed from stage. Also, this onEnteringFrame function first checks whether this 'exists' variable is true before executing any code... This also didn't solve my problem...
So in the end, it seems like the ENTER_FRAME is always called before the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE event. Is there anyway to turn this around?

Is there anyway to kill a keypress event in progress(bubbling?). Basically I have a chat app that on pressing enter sends the message, also in the keypress handler it clears the input textfield. however it still adds the return back into the field and since its doing it after the keypress i cant shift the carret to zero. so you always ended up starting on line 2 with a on line 1. I tried to null and void the keypress when it hit my handler but that did not change anything. is there anyway way to kill the event once its called? basicly making sure any other handlers after it dont get called?
View 2 RepliesLet's say you have a guestbook in where you constantly update the data pulled from a .txt file, but when someone posts a comment and press the SUBMIT button, you'd like that the data is updated at that moment to make it display faster, but since an already dispatched event is coming to update the data of your guestbook WITHOUT the newly posted comment, a flicker might occur, so you would then like to stop that data from being transferred to your Flash file and rather dispatch a new event to load new data with your recently posted comment. Or maybe you just want to know how to stop an event from any class, either way, you've come to the right place.
Let's use that guestbook as our example. Instead of using an onEnterFrame to constantly update the data, I'd use LoadVars' onData event to retrieve the data, but when that data has been transferred, dispatch another onData event, and make this keep going in a loop:
ActionScript Code:
function updateGuestbook(){
loadData = new LoadVars();
loadData.onData = function(data){
[code]...
and then I have this button to submit my comment to the guestbook (keeping it simple):
ActionScript Code:
submit_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadVariablesNum("somefile.php", 0, "POST");
updateGuestbook();
}
so I call the updateGuestbook function, which will fire another event to load new data, but another event has probably already been fired off already with the old data, and this will cause the guestbook to nudge a bit, flicker, if you know what I mean, because first the old data will load, then right after that, a few milliseconds later, the new data will load, and this will be visible to the eye, and will probably not look good.What you can do, is to stop the previous event, delete it, to stop its data from being received by Flash. To do this, simply use this:
ActionScript Code:
delete loadData.onData;
to delete that event, just as simple as that.
ActionScript Code:
submit_btn.onRelease = function(){
loadVariablesNum("somefile.php", 0, "POST");

if you had a parent movieclip, say mc1, and two movieclips inside that, say mc2 and mc3, and you had a color button that changed the color of mc3, how would you stop the button from affecting mc2? to make it clearer, mc3 is a fence section and mc2 is the shadow affect (for realistic looking fence section). when the button is pressed on the stage, the color take both movieclips and turns them into its functions color.

I am currently using a mouse move event listener to check the x and y coordinates of the mouse on the stage, but I am wondering how in god's name I can stop this once the function has exited. I am using the even listener inside of a drag and drop function, specifically inside of the drag function, but when I call dragging.stop(), I would also like to remove the event listener.

I am trying to figure out how to get an enterframe event listener to stop. I created a simple example below, where a line spins around on stage until the user clicks on it. When they click on it, the user should be jumped to frame 2.
Code:
stop();
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateIt);
line_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,goSomewhere);
[code].....
However, when I run that code, I get the following error:
at test_fla::MainTimeline/rotateIt()
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Which tells me that the event listener is not being removed. I also tried putting the removeEventListener code on frame 2, which didn't work either.
I have an ENTER_FRAME event on one of my pages to create a progress bar for an audio track. It is working great, but I when I click on a button to goto the next frame, it continues to run the ENTER_FRAME event continuously.

How do you stop an ENTER_FRAME event after two tweens have executed?I have an AS3 package-based-classes Flash website loading nicely. The very last effect is the hover or active state for the button for the current page to tell the user what page they're on. I want the button's active state to execute using an ENTER_FRAME event and NOT using a Timer method. Mainly because I'd simply like to know how it's done and also because I've already used several timers to load the API. But, using the code below, I can't stop the ENTER_FRAME precisely after two tweens have fired - the Alpha tween and the Tweener that pulls the a blur effect into focus.[code]
I've tried several IF and ELSE IF conditions to tell Home.removeEventListener(Event. ENTER_ FRAME, OverState); exactly when to occur but the IF conditions either removeEventListener too soon, before the two tweens have fired, or the IF conditions just don't execute at all and the ENTER_FRAME trace continues on ad infinitum. You can use IF conditions that precisely operate on stage X and Y positions. But I can't figure out how to make an IF condition execute precisely after the two Tweens.How do you stop an ENTER_FRAME event PRECISELY after two tweens have executed so that Home.removeEventListener( Event.ENTER_ FRAME,OverState); executes at exactly the right point?

I've got a button that, when clicked runs a method. The method waits for a condition to be met (or rather, waits for a variable to be set in the model) and then updates the view. I did this by setting an ENTER_FRAME listener and it works fine:
ActionScript Code:
private function loadHouseRoom(e:MouseEvent):void
{
view.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loadStuff);
[Code]....
I also tried setting the addEventListener to use a weak reference, but the Event never gets fired in the first place.
Note: I have to use a method like this. I removed a bunch of code irrelevant to this question to make this more readable, but the user needs to be able to change his mind and click another button before the loadStuff function is called.

What I want to do is create a powerpoint style presentation. But rather than change slides, I have one large "graphic" that I am moving around and zooming into by "motion tweening". Now all I need to do is: (with a keyboard event)
Start the motion tween and then let it play out
Then start the next motion tween and let it play out
and so on...
All I have is this, which allows me to start and stop it when it is tweening, but isn't as effective as it stopping at then end of a motion tween, then allowing me to push a key and for it to go to the next "slide".
Code:
stop();
var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUsed);
function keyUsed(event:KeyboardEvent){
if (isPlaying){
stop();
} else {
play();
} isPlaying = !isPlaying;
}
