IDE :: Use An OnEnterFrame Event To Call A Function Just Once?

Oct 5, 2009

I need to use an onEnterFrame event to call a function just once. Here's the code:

my_object.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this._y == 100) {
my_function();
}
};

So say i drag "my_object" to a y-coordinate of 100, how do i make it so it only calls the function once. Then if i drag the object away from y=100, and then back to y=100, i want it to call the function again.

I'm using the onEnterFrame event b/c i need it to constantly look for the object to be at y=100, maybe except when its actually at 100.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Event Versus Function Call?

Aug 4, 2009

I'm playing with the event system and my own custom event class for a project I'm working on. I'm wondering if it's better to use obj.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(event)) or if I should just use a regular function call.

It seems to me that in most cases when one object is detecting the event and another is responding to it it is better to use the event system so I'm not passing around objects too much.

I was also wondering what the performance hit of using the event vs. the function call is. I'm sure the event is more cpu intensive but is it negligible?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash - Call A Function From The Event Listener?

Aug 12, 2010

Say I have the following function

Code:

but i want to call it from the event listener

Code: button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,myVideoFunction);

I cant because it runs off a VideoEvent, not a MouseEvent.The obvious work around is to copy and paste the function and rename this part, or alternativly just make a function such as:

Code:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,callMyVideoFunction);
function callMyVideoFunction (event:MouseEvent) {
myVideoFunction(null);[code].....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Call The Menu Within Another Function Which Is Not The Same Type Of Event?

if i also want to call the menu within another function which is not the same type of event, should i pass in null?

example: a switch statement finds the correct keyboard input has been pressed, is it bad to use callMenu(null);...it seemed to work, but feels wrong.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Link The Button Event To The OnEnterFrame() Event?

Oct 29, 2009

When you click on a button and the animation is supposed to play foward or reverse based on which year the user is currently on and which they are selecting. Going forward is no problem However I don't know how to link the button event to the onEnterFrame() event so that when I use the prevFrame(), it will play in reverse at the same frame frequency as going foward. This is the code I have now.It goes back to the frame that it's supposed to, but the animation is not at the same speed as going forward. I goes back as fast as the code can loop.

function frm94to93 (event:Event):void{  while (currentLabel != "Frame1993"){  trace(currentFrame); prevFrame();  }

ActionScript 3.0 :: Keyboard Event Listener Doesn't Call On Function

Jul 5, 2011

The keyBoard event listeners call on the rotate and unrotate functions and based on the key inputs(A and D) will implement either of the functions and rotate the image or return it to the original upright position. However, I haven't been able to get the function to work. When I press the A or D keys on the keyboard nothing happens. I even put trace() in one of the functions to see if the function will even be implemented but I don't get anything. I put in my Scripts below. Why are the functions not working? Do the eventlisteners fire or are there conflicts? I'm not getting any error messages.

ti.border = true
ti.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, onInput);
function onInput(event:TextEvent):void {
if(ti.text.search('a')!=-1) load_image("http://i54.tinypic.com/anom5d.png", "ottefct");

ActionScript 2.0 :: OnEnterFrame=null - OnEnterFrame=undefined & Delete OnEnterFrame

Mar 29, 2008

onEnterFrame=null, onEnterFrame=undefined & delete onEnterFrame....

Which one to use??? What are the performance considerations. If all my movieclips on-stage are running a MovieClip.prototype.onEnterFrame = function() {run initial stuff before setting onEnterFrame=null/undefined... }, will there be performance hits? It's sad that delete onEnterFrame doesn't work unless I delete the prototype enterFrame as well, which would make the clips reinitailise itself again once you declare the enterFrame prototype again (i need to do this since there's more movieclips that end up appearing on-stage, and they need to automatically initialises themselves the moment they appear).

Call A Function With Event Parameter When Have No Event Parameter To Pass?

Aug 14, 2009

Forgive me for this stupid noob question but I want to call a function (loadList) that originally gets triggered after a mouseevent from another function (addToXML) that does not have an event.

The loadList function takes info from a XML var, sticks it into an array which then gets loaded into a tile list and that is working fine.

The addToXML function when called adds elements to the XML var after which I want to call the first function with the event parameter so it refreshes the items in the tile list.

I know it can do this by creating a new array and loading that into the tile list in the addToXML function, but it be much simpler to just recall the function.

I have tried things like

Code:
addToXML.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadList);

but all the event constants I have tried give me error messges like "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type Function."

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop OnEnterFrame Event?

Jan 14, 2010

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?

[Code]...
