I am having trouble getting a simple event listener class to work. The class is:
Code:
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
[code]...
and I have the ClassPath pointing to the folder that contains this .as file. I do get the trace "In setUp" but I'm not getting seeing any Keyboard events. There also aren't any errors showing up in output so I am kind of stumped.
I am a n00b and therefore might get terminology etc. wrong. I am developing for Scaleform (therefore authoring in ActionScript 2.0 for Flash Player 8).
I have a movie clip on stage which is a stack of buttons. I want to create a simple test, I want a function to fire when the mouse is rolled OFF the BtnList movie clip.
[Code]...
I'm new to ActionScript and have a fairly basic question. I want an eventlistener to call a function and pass it a parameter that will send the movie to a specific frame. My code generates and invalid parameter type error. It's as follows:
TL_AboutUs_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, DropSubMenu(10)); // calls a function to drop a sub menu
function DropSubMenu(sm:number)
{ gotoAndPlay(sm);}
Error is "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: number."
I am trying to get this simple event listener to work.
function moveBoarder(boarder:MovieClip, movement:Number, rotationAmt:Number):void
{
boarder.y -= movement;
boarder.rotation += rotationAmt;
[code]...
understand this error message "ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on making_modular_fla::MainTimeline/moveBoarder(). Expected 3, got 1."
how to add an event listener to an event from a custom class. Here are the relevent lines of code (I think) from the class:
[Code]....
I've done a class to be able to listen to the event for a CLASS not on an instance.
Code:
class net.webbymx.events.XClassEventListener {[code]....
why did I do this.It cames with my rugby game.I have player in two teams. When a player throw the ball I want the other teammate to act like "wait for ball" and the opponent like "seek for ball". Plus I'm lazy (and I don't want to register the listener for each instance of the player I'm creating). So this class is made to be able to handle as many instance of a class I want without adding a listener on each of them. I'm just creating a global listener on the class and then I will be able to receive dispatched event for any instance of this class .so in my team I can do
Code:
XClassListener.initialize(this);
this.addEventListener("throw", "net.webbymx.game.Player", "wait");
and in my opponent team I can do
Code:
XClassListener.initialize(this);
this.addEventListener("throw", "net.webbymx.game.Player", "seek");
I'm creating a minesweeper game as my first flash project, but I'm already stuck on something technical. I have created a button named Button which contains a bitmap. I have a lot of instances of that button on stage, and they are put there by actionscript using a for-loop. Their instance names are button0, button1, button2, button3, etc.
This is the code for the eventlistener: It's in the first keyframe of the actions layer.
var buttonListener:Object=new Object();
buttonListener.click=function(evt:Object):Void{
trace("clicked");
} for (i=0; i<rows*cols; i++) {
eval("button"+i).addEventListener("click", buttonListener);
}
I also noticed that when I do this for one button that I created myself and put on the stage manually, this also doesn't work, but when I pick one of the predefined buttons, it works just fine.
Just using the script below to output the key that is pressed in the output but I get the "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference." warning on the addEventListener line, which I assume is because of the "stage" var. How do I correct that?
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
backgroundColor="#123456" creationComplete="init();">[code].............
I have a document class called Main.as In the class constructor I have the following listener:
enter code here
var listeningFORModeChangeToStudent:Sprite = new Sprite;
listeningFORModeChangeToStudent.addEventListener(TellAllModeChangeToStudent.STUDENT,exp);
addChild(listeningFORModeChangeToStudent);
[code]....
In a third class I make a call to the despatcher in the previous class:
enter code here
var ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent:TellAllModeChangeToStudent = new TellAllModeChangeToStudent;
ThisTellAllModeChangeToStudent.tellAllModeChangeToStudent();
I have trace statements in eveything and from this I know the despatcher in TellAllModeChangeToStudent is being called.The problem is that the listener in the main.as is not calling the function exp.I cant see why and I dont know how to check if the listener is actually seeing the dispatch event?
I have an eventListener that is listening for the end of an audio channel that is playing an external MP3:
ActionScript Code:
d1Channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundComplete, false, 0, true);
function soundComplete( e:Event ):void {
[Code].....
This works beatifully when I am running a test movie on my computer, and even the fully published SWF. But when I load it on the web server, and run it in a browser. This doesn't do anything. Once the audio is done, nothing happens.
I've got 2 AS3 files going here, the document file "Main" and a "Fence" file..[code]For some reason the ping comes up, but the pong doesn't, it's starting to bug me now that the "onFenceAdded" wont even work, what have I missed? Is there some way to check if Flash is compiling correctly? I often find these weird problems where I'm sure I've done it all correct, but when I try to compile and run a swf it wont work!
View 11 RepliesI have a movieclip with 3 frames. each frame has a button on it. Using actionscript I jump to a frame then add an event listener to that button.However, it doesn't work since the playhead for that movieclip doesn't actually get moved to a different frame until the frame redraws. So actionscript says the button doesn't exist.(other than not dynamically adding the buttons with code... which will be my next step...)
View 1 RepliesIs there a reason why a keyboard event listener would not work if the flash is embedded in an HTML? The rest of my game is running fine in the background, but I can't launch the movieClip "nextCar." My code is below, if that makes any difference...
function goNow (event:KeyboardEvent): void { thisOtherKey = event.keyCode; if (thisOtherKey == 32) { nextCar.gotoAndPlay(2); parkingQue.play(); tries++; }}stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, goNow);
I'm trying to create an Event Listener used with all buttons placed on the stage rather than a listener for each button object.Are coding examples of a class listener?
View 5 RepliesFor graphical representation I use fla file as a resource. I work in Flash Builder 4.6 to code. I try to create own class Panel which contains the click event. But event doesn't work when I test the move! When I move the event handler (buttonClick) and event listener to main class (test) and apply the event to the card object (for example), all works fine.
[Code]...
let's say that i have this button which is called "Click_Here" and i added an event listener to it in some class file in order for it to run the event handler in a different one .. so it will be like this
classfile1.as
Click_Here.addEventListner(MouseEvent.CLICK , buttonClicked ) ;
classfile2.as
public function buttonClicked (e:MouseEvent){ trace ("hello");}
I'm trying to add an eventListener to a custom class. I created a motion tween in CS4 and exported the motion as as3, which then gave me a chunk of code.I then took that code and turned it into a class. What I'd like to be able to do is set up an event listener in my FLA to listen for when this animation is done playing, however, I have been unable to get that to work. Do I need to add something else to my class? Is there something wrong with how I'm trying to implement the class in my FLA?Here's the code for the class:
Code:
package
{

What I'd like to do is add an event listener to a class instantiated by my document class that listens for different key presses. So far I can't use stage.addeventListener or I get the null object error so my question is:
a: how do i add an event listener to the stage from another class and b: is it even necessary to add it to the stage , can I listen from that class?
My problem is: I'm trying to create an external class which function is load an external sound file and play or stop depends on stage.activate and stage.deactivate events. The actionscript 3 in the timeline is functioning properly, but when I try to create as external class, it has so many errors. So many that I can't troubleshoot them. Btw, it's my first class creation. Is there anybody who kindly enough to give me some guidance to create a proper class with stage event listener?

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 15 Repliesi have got all my public vars for sound class but im having trouble on how i would execute them because i normal would use event listener but its OOP lol so how do you get that functionality ?code in star.as file:
package {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
public class star extends MovieClip {[code]......
Or do you have to add them to every instance?
View 5 RepliesI am developing in Flash Builder 4.5 using as3.
I have created a class to connect, write and read to a TCP Socket using 'import flash.net.Socket;'
Within this class is an event listener which reads the incomming data:
Code:
socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, readSocketData);
private function readSocketData(progressEvent:ProgressEvent):void {var response:String = socket.readUTFBytes(socket.bytesAvailable);
trace response;}
My problem is how to output this data back to my main application. Ultimately I want to process the data and output it in a text box.
im 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 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?

I'm having an issue with an event dispatcher and an event listener. Here is the application code...
Code:
Select allpackage {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import SendAndLoad;
public class Test extends MovieClip {
[Code] .....
It will trace the loader.data variables but doesn't dispatch the event to the main application (Test). I'm listening for the event on the stage of the main but it doesn't trigger the event to display that the login has been successful even though it traces from the sendAndLoad class...
I am using an external 'Animation' class to handle all animations in a project. I would like to register event listeners to listen for tween completion - how do I go about this?
function in Animation class:
Code:
public function SlideOut(target, tx){
var slideTween: TweenMax = new TweenMax(target,.5,{x: tx,y:0,ease:Back.easeIn});
}
[Code].....
Obviously, mySlide.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, transitionComplete) doesn't work. I've tried including the name of the instance of tween too but no dice. I could write my own event within the animation class and dispatch it via another function but there must be a more elegant solution?
Im getting an error whilst trying to add an event listener to a class of a Button on my stage.
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Class.
On my stage i have a Button with the instance name stopBtn, this is also exported to an actionscript class called classes.stopBtn (stopBtn.as in a folder called 'classes'). The button is on the first keyframe in the main timeline, in a layer with other buttons on that layer
