I want to add a simple piece of text to the stage and add a listener to do something when the user clicks it.
Here's my TextLink class:
package some.package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
[Code] .....
I am populating a textfield programmatically and scrolling to the maxScrollH as the new text is added so the user can see the progression of text. This works fine, until I click the TextField, which sets scrollH back to 0 and places the caret in the text at the equivalent position.
textField.setSelection( text.length, text.length );
//sets the caretIndex/selection to the end
textField.scrollH = textField.maxScrollH;
//scrolls to max
This is the code that I am using to scroll when the textField text property is updated. I've tried adding a listener to the click event on the textField, which works in a way, but causes a visible jump.
override protected function createChildren() : void {
super.createChildren();
textField.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, handleTextFieldClick, false, 0, true);
} protected function handleTextFieldClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
textField.scrollH = currentTextFieldScrollPosition; //stored scrollH value
trace(textField.scrollH);
}
My guess is that there is a scroll position being calculated or stored someplace that I can't find.
I want to design a calculator by Flash cs5 , I use appendText Method to write the data in the textfield by the Keyboard . My problem is when I start the application I have to Click on the TextField first then type the numbers. How i can solve it .

View 2 RepliesThe textfield is being updated as a user clicks the buttons of a sprite array menu, so that the label names of timeline frames appear in the field. However, I want to be able to click these labelnames also, as they appear in this textfield. The textfield is placed just to the right of the menu, to offer shortcuts to visited menu items. I am not trying to populate a textfield with ton of text in authortime, and then clicking some of it
View 1 RepliesWeb service calls are asynchronous in flex, but I wanted to wrap a web service call in a class to provide synchronous encapsulation. Something like the below - the user could call getMyMethodResult and get the result returned by the web service. I expected the thread that recieved the soap response would populate the variable _result and mean that getMyMethod would, after a time, find _result is not longer null. But it doesn't! Can anyone explain why this does not work?[code]

am loading an image onto stage dynamically. When I click on the loaded image, i am drawing a circle/rectangle[which is of Sprite type] at exact pixel-position on the image and making these circles/rectangles(Sprite_objects) visible there itself. In this way, I am adding as many number of Sprites_objects, till I continue clicking on the same image present on the stage.
The code in my application(which displays red colored rectangles when you click on the image) is as follows:
If you copy the code into ur actionsPanel directly,then make sure "image1.jpg" file * is present beside the .fla file.Since it gets loaded iff it is present in same directory.
*/ var myContainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); var temp_x:int,temp_y:int; //Loading an image dynamically and adding listeners... var urlReq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("image1.jpg"); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.load(urlReq);[code]....
I have added a listener to the stage to close a loader object when the stage is clicked. The problem is the click seems to effect the loader object to (basically when you click the loader it calls the click function attached to the stage). Is that to be expected? I suppose it makes sense, but is there a way of adding a listener to the stage that excludes certain objects?
View 3 RepliesI have a button with a MouseEvent.CLICK listener. The CLICK event is being triggered when the button is pushed, mouse is down while rolled out, then released when rolled in on the button again. I do not want this to happen, the click event should not occur when the button is being dragged.
My flash file contains a large amount of buttons and click listeners, I would like to solve this problem with as little code as possible. What is the simplest solution to this problem?
I would like to know how to compose a click mouseevent of different objects in one listener, if ever that's possible.What I wanted to do is make this listener universal for all the button clicks like:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clicker);
function clicker (e:MouseEvent):void{
if (frame2_btn is clicked){
gotoAndPlay(3);
[code]....
I put together this button for statement. Now if I put
ActionScript Code:
for (var m:int = 0; m<btnArray.length; m++){
btnArray[m].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickBtn);
function clickBtn(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code].....
not sure what to do, it compiles correctly no errors given when buttons are clicked, it just doesn't let me do anything w/ the "pressedBtn" variable outtside of the for loop that it's in.
I have a button and I'd like to have the user right click on the button and then display the menu that will allow them to copy the highlighted text, but I'm getting the infamous 1119: Access of possibly undefined property RIGHT_CLICK through a reference with static type class. What am I doing wrong?
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
stop();

I created a screen(calculator) with bunch of buttons,i can handle button event with one handler.But i want to know that can we do a one handler for all buttons......likein java

I am trying to attach a double click property to a listener like this button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, function); but having read the help files it says that this will not work unless you activate the doubleClickEnabled property. But i cant work out how i need to do this!
View 1 RepliesI would like to have a movie to play when the mouse is over a button instead of when it is clicked. My script is now:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);
$("#listView object.modal").click(function(){
// Get the ID of the clicked link:
var link = $(this).closest("h2").attr("title");
[Code]....
This fires a modal (jQuery UI). It it working in FF, Chrome/Safari but not in IE 7/8. Is there something I'm missing here?
Big Picture: We're using a swf to render custom type and there is a link in the rendered (flash) content. We're hoping to catch the link action in the jQuery listener so we don't have to extend our swf have an optional param to return false on link click.
I'm trying to add an event listener inside an object but it doesn't seem to work. other OO languages it makes sense for an object to be able to attach events etc itself rather than have some external action do it.Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class Player extends MovieClip {
[CODE]....
This gives an error "1120: Access of undefined property MouseEvent." suggesting that I don't have access to MouseEvent from within the instansiated object.What I can do is create an instance of the class from the Document Class for example and then do the following:
ActionScript Code:
newInstance.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, newInstance.mouseClick);
I have a drop-down menu that stays open when I click it, until I click it again. I want it to close when I click away from it. So I created an event listener of type MouseEvent.CLICK and apply it to the stage.
The obvious problem is, though, that when I click the drop-down menu to make it open, I'm also clicking the stage, which prevents it from opening.
I think there's probably a simple solution to this but I'm stuck. I called stopPropagation() on the drop-down menu and that seems like it should help but it doesn't.
Not sure if I phrased that correctly. I have about 6 pieces of illustrator outlined text.imported into flash, set as symbols with event listeners and works fine. but i notice I can only click on the outline itself, if i click on the inside of an "o" or "R" it doesnt work.I added white boxes behind each of the symbols and that fixed the problem, but now i want to do a color transform on the symbol (the text only of course), but when I apply the transform, its the background box and the text that have the new color applied, just leaving me a rectangle. I gave the box an alpha of 0, hoping if i didn't affect the alpha in the transform, the pointer would still read the box, but no go, it doesnt even see the box again.

Taking my first steps coding in AS3. So I have my main class which extends sprite and I put new mc's on top of that. Using addEventListener on any child MC's with MouseEvent.CLICK works fine, but I can't add it to the main sprite. How can I register all clicks on the screen?
