IDE :: Passing Parameters With AddEventListener?

Mar 3, 2009

So I have an MC that has 6 labels and 6 buttons all with different names. When you click on a button, it needs to direct you to it's appropriate frame label in the MC. Now, since AS 3.0 has done away with inline functions, how the heck do I code it so I don't have a function with a bunch of if statements inside of it in addition to all of my eventListeners that I have to add to each of my buttons? In AS 2.0, I would have done it like so:

Code:
function movePlayhead(whichOne:String):Void{
this.gotoAndStop(whichOne);
} button1_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
movePlayhead("label1");
};
button2_mc.onRelease = function():Void{
movePlayhead("label2");
};
Etc...

With AS 3.0, you have to add eventListeners to each of your buttons where each eventListener calls a function, but how can I write it so I don't have to write a bunch of if statements inside the function the eventListeners are calling in order to test for which button is being clicked? Like so:

Code:
button1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
button2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
button3_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movePlayHead);
function movePlayHead(event:MouseEvent):void {

ActionScript 3.0 :: AddEventListener() With Parameters?

Jun 2, 2010

I've been browsing lots of forums lately regarding the issues involved with passing parameters into functions called by event listeners. I think I may have come up with a good solution using anonymous functions but I'm not sure yet if its "safe" to do.

Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function(e:Event):void {
myFunction(e, arguments.callee, "hello")
});[code]....

The code prints "hello" once, which is what I wanted. I believe I have deleted the anonymous function, but I need some thoughts from those who may be more knowledgeable about flash garbage collection and such to be sure.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Send Parameters To Another Function Through AddEventListener?

Nov 21, 2006

Here I've got this bit of code that works alright, but I would prefer to have the parameters that are being sent through myTween.tweenMe(_text, 40, 300, 150, 100, 4000) originate instead with the call to tweenerIt. The problem seems to be that the tweenerIt function needs to receive the e:Event parameter, which is some sort of 'behind the scenes' type of thing that I don't fully understand. If I try putting ... _text.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, tweenerIt(_text, 40, 300, 150, 100, 4000) and then something like.. private function tweenerIt(param1, param2, param3, etc..., e:Event):void, it doesn't work.

Code:
_text.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, tweenerIt);
}
private function tweenerIt(e:Event):void {

ActionScript 3.0 :: FLVPlayback.addEventListener - What Parameters To Pass To The Eventlistener And The Acting Function

Dec 12, 2010

The problem is that i don't know what parameters to pass to the eventlistener and the acting function. I just need someone to fill in the blanks to the following code

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing A Function To AddEventListener?

Sep 4, 2011

I have 2 methods in a class and 2 properties. The first method fetchXMLData() gets data from an XML file. In the addEventListener method on the urlLoader object, I pass it a listener which tries to set the returned data to the xmlData property. However, it never sets it, and I know the data comes back because I can alert out urlLoader.data using the mx.controls.Alert component.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing An Argument Using AddEventListener?

Jul 28, 2009

The transition from AS2.0 to 3.0 has been a long and broken trail for me.

Is there a way to pass arguments to a function via addEventListener, like (but unlike) this: timerTurn.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, moveUnit, "unitname", "unitdirection")

where moveUnit is the function I want triggered, and "unitname"/"unitdirection" are the arguments?

Professional :: Passing 2 Parameters To A Swf?

Nov 9, 2010

I need to dynamically pass 2 parameter to an swf movie to make it work properly, they are a number and a boolean. To do this I've changed the html page which contains the movie to php, I pass to the page the parameters' values through GET. The values are correctly passed to the page, I've tried to print them.
 
I build the call to the swf in this way collpreloader.swf?connid=<?php echo $_GET['connid'] ?>&animazione=<?php echo $_GET['animazione'] ?>
 
collpreloader.swf correctly reads the connid parameter, but animazione results always true.

Passing Parameters From Browser To Flash?

Oct 9, 2009

What I want to do is to pass parameters from the browser to flash. I searched and seems like the best way is FlashVars. However, I have tried different codes and can't get Flash to detect the parameters. I decided to follow the example here and just copy and paste the whole thing (just changing the "main.swf" to my swf name): [URL]. The flash loads, but it only shows "param:" without anything else. I gathered that it probably is a more fundamental problem. (e.g. the way I am debugging, or some settings, etc.) I am using CS4 trial version AS3.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Passing Parameters To SWF File?

Jan 28, 2010

I want to open a .swf file with a parameter for instance test.swf?beer=good and set "good" (the "good" parameter is going to constantly change) as a variable in the script so that I can add it to the stage in the swf file. The problem is I can't seem to figure out how to read the parameter so that it can be placed in the script.
 
For instance I have it set to:
 
var beer = ""; 
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.google.com/search?&q="+ beer  , "_self");

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters With A For Loop?

Dec 22, 2009

I'm trying to create four cubes in Papervision using a for loop. The cube class requires, as its first parameter, a MaterialsList. I've created four different MaterialLists in my code with the names materialsList1,materialsList2, materialsList3, & materialsList4. In a for loop, I'm trying to pass those variables as the MaterialsList parameter. It's not working. If I use the variables themselves in the code, it works fine, so I know my problem has something to do with how I'm trying to data type the dynamic name (see Actionscript below)The Actionscript:

PHP Code:

[COLOR="red"] var cube:Cube = new Cube(("materialsList"+i) as MaterialsList,396

ActionScript 2.0 :: Passing OnEnterFrame Parameters?

Aug 14, 2003

I give a number of mc's an onEnterFrame event on the fly (in a for loop) which calls an easing function. This function is passed a variable whos value is worked out incrementally, ie on each loop the value is incremented (+.

I do this because I want each mc to be horizontally offset, in other words each clip eases so they come one after the other. Hope this makes sense, ANYWAY the problem the value of the variable (I mentioned above) which each clip uses to determine the postion it has to ease to seems to constantly reset itself. In other words the clips ease right on top of each other since the variable is reset to the last value it obtained from the last increment!!!.

Code:
trace("yes");
panelAmt = 5;
speed = 4;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters To A Function From Within An EventListener

Feb 26, 2009

Code:
function enableButtons():void
{
for (var i:uint=0; i<40; i++)

[Code]...

I have 40 buttons on the stage. Their names are contained in the Array musicGrid. What I'm trying to do with this code is attach an EventListener to each button so that it will call the function mgMouseBehavior with a parameter to identify the button. For example, I want the button at musicGrid[0] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(0). I want the button at musicGrid[32] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(32), and so on.

However, if you try to add parameters to mgMouseBehavior in the addEventListener, for example:

Code:
musicGrid[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mgMouseBehavior(i));

Then you get Error 2007: Parameter listener must be non-null. How would I accomplish what I'm trying to do?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters From FLEX To PHP (zend Amf)?

Feb 5, 2010

I'm working on a school assignment in which I have to make a basic CRUD (create, read, update and delete) content management application using the Zend AMF framework in FLEX.Basically I create a mock database and have flex print the data from the database into a data-grid. I need to also have an add form, edit+update feature and delete feature. As of now I have FLEX printing all the database info into my data-grid and my add form works as well as my delete button. My problem is I cannot get the update function/query to work. You know:

(UPDATE myTable SET valueName='".$variable."')

What happens is I have it programmed so that when you click on any row in the data-grid, the information is printed back into the add form. Here you can change the values and hit the 'update button' (not the add button) to run the update query on the php file.So my mxml looks something like this:

PHP Code:

<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="{amfcall.getDatabase()}">
<mx:RemoteObject id="amfcall" destination="MyPHPclass" source="MyPHPclass" endpoint="http://localhost/FlexAMFCMSapplication/index.php" showBusyCursor="true" />

[code]....

So basically I can send the ID over to the PHP but not other values along with it, in this case the date time and name. How can I send over these edited values so the update function actually updates them?I'm assuming my update function is wrong in either the mxml or the php or both.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Parameters To Event Functions?

Dec 16, 2008

I like reusing functions repeatedly so I pass the object to the function (blur, drop shadow, etc.) but if an Event or MousEvent function is involved, I have to do things I don't like. In my example, I had to put the TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE function as a sub function of the setTimer function. I would rather keep the functions apart but I don't know how to pass a parameter to the event function to tell it what movieclip(timerObject) to fade in. Is there a better way to do this?

Professional :: Passing Parameters To External Source?

Apr 10, 2011

I'm trying to have Flash execute a file, and I can get FSCOMMAND to work. Sort of. While I can use it to run a single batch file, what I really need to do is to pass a parameter from within Flash to the item being executed. I'm currently using Flash to allow a user to select some items, and I need to pass that selection out of it in order to kick off some other processes (Flash is basically just my GUI interface right now until I learn more about how to do things in it).
 
I don't care if it's a batch file or JavaScript or anything that's not uber complex (so no .NET or C++). I just need to find something that we can run internally for our company (either from an .HTML or a .EXE file output from Flash - not too picky there either).
