I have 2 buttons.There is a MOUSE_OUT event for button 1 and a MOUSE_OVER event button 2.The buttons are right next to each other.Each event leads to a different frame.When the mouse moves from button 1 to button 2, both events get fired, first MOUSE_OUT and then MOUSE_OVER - but the MOUSE_OVER event cuts off the MOUSE_OUT event and doesn't give it a chance to fully execute. To be more clear, for each event, a function is called which has "gotoAndPlay(x)"(x is some different frame number for each)The gotoAndPlay() will go to lets say frame 437 and play exactly 2 frames.But when MOUSE_OVER is fired and it calls my function, it calls the gotoAndPlay() BUT it doesn't get to play the 2 frames.It gets cut off because the MOUSE_OUT gets fired which calls a function which then calls gotoAndPlay() and plays a different 2 frames. How can I allow the first 2 frames to fully play and then the last 2 frames?
I am having trouble wiring up an event listener to a fl.transitions.Transition.
Is it possible to somehow view all the events an object fires? That way I could check I am using the correct event (and possible view better ones to use).
I am building a flash site in AS3 using AMFPHP. I could really use some help in the Event department...The structure of the site is as follows:
Documentclass, adds PageConveyer (which holds all Pages) - adds addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, onPageConveyerComplete ), onPageConveyerComplete: - startAnimation (loop through pages and components in arrays to animate into screen)[code].....
The problem lies in the Event listeners.I want to make sure everything (pages/components) is loaded before I start animating. My guess was that Flash listens to the underlying objects until they are done running, then fires the Event.COMPLETE event to the parent object, which in turn fires it's own COMPLETE event. These events never seem to get fired (since i traced the onComplete functions). Im lost here. How can I best listen to this many objects within objects, to know for sure whether they are finished and ready to be animated in?
I have created an AIR application that makes use of Flash' build in capability of taking multi touch gestures (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_ZOOM & TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_ROTATE)
It works fine on my Mac using the computers trackpad. It also works fine on a Windows 7 machine with a touchscreen attached.
But I can only modify one object at a time. Is that a limitation in Flash or is it possible to modify more objects at the same time and that way possible to make a multi-user multi-touch application?
How can I add a single control bar to control 2 external FLVs inserted in FLA document so that when scrolled, both FLVs move simultaneously?Is there a better PPT to Video Converter out there than Moyea that I can purchase or even a freeware? Original documents One FLV is a PowerPoint presentation with videos in some slides, converted into FLV using trial version of Moyea PPT to Video ConverterAnother one is an AVI converted into FLV using Super
I saw a similar question posted on Aug 15, 2007 ([URL].. but the "Look Here" link that describes the solution is not available (removed by Adobe for security reasons).
I have 4 live f4vs that I'm using with interactive server 3.5. Thus they are running in dvr. I'm trying to find a way to control all 4 videos so that when you go back on one video all 4 videos go back to the same time. This is very important with camera 4 as it is the only one with sound.I have tried putting all 4 videos in one swf file and I have tried putting each video as its own swf.
I created an E-learning project for a customer that has pages that require the user to make keyboard entries. When the user enters a specific letter, the page progresses. The pages work as expected until the customer places the project in a 'wrapper' that controls the navigation. When this is done, the user can make the keyboard entries, but now the page will not progress to the next section. It seems that the wrapper is stopping the system from detecting that the specific letter is pressed.
My client uses IrfanView to play SWF files. Unfortunately, he does not use Flashplayer. In Flashplayer, I can crossover mouse and keyboard events with no problem. In IrfanView, the second I click a button, the keyboard events are disabled. Is there a fix?
I am trying to write a simple program, just to practice, that will use touch events for an iPad. I don't have a developer account and so am testing the app on my computer. However, it does nothing. Clicking the mouse on the movie clip does nothing. I even copy and pasted someone else's code so that I was sure it wasn't because I got my syntax wrong. Nothing. Is there a way to test touch events on a computer, or do I have to compile the app and send it to an iPad everytime I want to test the app? Is there no AIR simulator that will simulate touch events using a mouse, as there is with XCode?
I have a rollOver event on a pop-up button in flex. I want that the menu is opened on rollover. But if the user accidentally goes with the mouse over the component the menu should not be displayed. So on rollOver I want to start a timer (wait for half second) and than check if the user is still on the pop-up button (rollOut was not fired).
My example code so far:
private function rollOverMenu(event:Event){ rollOutNow = false; var shortDelay:Timer = new Timer(3000);
[code]...
The Alert "time is up" is never shown, any ideas why my timer event does not work?
I am working on Flex project these days and having java background. In my current task, same pop up is opened when two different types of custom events are being fired and I have to hide a button for one event type. So, how i can get event type.
EDIT: In fact, it is working now (behavior changed with updated TweenMax...?!), BUT still, when I zoom with mouseclick, everything goes well. When I zoom with a keypress, the image is resizing... but if the image is not centered, the registration point (set to center of the image) - the image is moving - for no reason...
Different results with the SAME function, no parameters etc.
As you can see, both events call the same function. In this function, I would like to create a new instance of a library object and then hide it, depending on the mouseEvent that fires:
PHP Code:
var ECMBox:MovieClip = new managerBox(); addChild(ECMBox);
On the MouseOUT, I would then like to remove that from the stage as such:
PHP Code:
removeChild(ECMBox);
I did it this way instead of firing two seperate functions because the second function has no reference to the object created in the MOUSE_OVER function and therefore cannot remove it. My question is this: Is there a way to determine in the function that is called, what mouse event called it? If I could get that, then I could set up a condition to create and object or hide the object, depending on what event was fired. Something like this:
I've just been working on a splash page/main menu for my game, and when tracing a value in the function fired when added to stage, I noticed it was tracing twice.After a process of elimination I found it was caused by some text inside a movieclip in the library.
This is literally my first time using MovieClips in AS3, as I generally just render everything manually, but I used one to knock up some quick text.When converting the text to vector graphics, the problem disappeared. Still the same MC being created and added, yet no problem. It was caused by the text.Doing away with MC's completely, embedding the required font and just using manual TextFields is my solution.Tested on 2 different FP10 builds by the way, same behaviour on both.
I was following a tutorial off a site to build my title menu. I followed everything to the T and the ActionScript 2.0 is giving me 2 of the same errors Mouse events are permitted only for button instances, on 2 of my layers. below is the action script2 code
1. invisible button layer
on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (1); }
2. ECHOTRAK BUTTON
stop (); on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (2); }
my question is how do i make my button for my drop down menu work. an instance is a label correct if so were does it exist in this code. I believe its telling me I'm missing my frame labels to be included somewhere in this code the site i used was on this site
I want to capture flash events in webpage using javascript. By flash events I mean like, clicking a Button, mouseover, entering text in textbox in flash content (websites). I see adobe flash uses Action script code to get the events in eventlisteners. How can I use the same API in javascript?
I asked for help earlier with a banner and a button that counts roll overs. I am having an issue where the first movie clips in the array play much more often than the others. When I mouse over every couple of seconds or so, only the red mc plays. When I go a little faster the red and blue mcs play back and forth, and when I do a bunch of mouse overs really fast, then all 3 play in order. What part of the code has something to do with amount of time between roll overs? I want it so that even if I roll over once and then again a minute later, I want the second movie clip in the array to play instead of the first again. Here is the code I have in the first frame of the main timeline, as well as a stop(); in the first frame of each mc.
I have 2 files, 1 to dispatch the event and 1 to receive it (of course in addition to the event class itself).
I've done this before with both dispatching and receiving files being mxml, but this time the dispatching file is an actionscript class, and it's not working this time. Is it different for actionscript classes?
Here's a dumbed down version
The dispatching class dispatches the event as soon as it's created.
public class ASClass extends UIComponent{ public function ASClass(){ dispatchEvent(new MyEvents(MyEvents.FIRE_EVENT)); } }
in my main mxml app, I instantiate the ASClass which automatically dispatch the event as soon as it's created and the main mxml app should receive back.
protected function appCComplete(event:FlexEvent):void{ addEventListener(MyEvents.FIRE_EVENT, gotEvent); var asClass:ASClass = new ASClass();
I'm (slowly) learning Flex 4 and working on skinning a custom component that extends SkinnableComponent. The component is all in ActionScript and essentially looks like this:
[Code]...
The issue I'm having is on NULL REFERENCES in the Constructor for the various SkinParts, because they're not created yet. I'm trying to find out when is the best time to access them to assign their .text values. I know I can override partAdded() and add the .text value as each part is added, but I'd rather just listen for some magic event that is dispatched when they're all available.I'm not sure whether or not it matters, but the accountName, accountNumber variables are assigned by using a repeater with a dataProvider on the host component. I'm not sure if that too has something to do with when the data is available to the AccountSummary component - which may also needed to be waited on. I was able to successfully use FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE to assign all my .text values to the SkinParts, but is that the right event/best practice?
I am trying to send a simple HTTP message from Flex to C# server, but it seems that I am getting tow calls, first is the real one and the second is an empty one.
Why is that and how can I handle it?
This is my C# code:
TcpListener listener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Any, 9400); listener.Start(); Console.WriteLine("Server started");
[Code].....
I been trying to send a true HTTP response a notice another thing, the second call is coming without waiting for the first call, if I am putting the response thread to short sleep(100 milliseconds in my test) then I am getting the second call before I been able to response for the first one.
I'm trying to figure out the basics of an flash action script project. I downloaded a plugin (from Brightcove). As far as I can tell, it only has 2elevantiles.ightcovePlayerAPI.swc - the brightcove player api which you can import into your projectCaptionPlugin.as - just a small script that's supposed to load a dfxp.xml file can't seem to get the function initialize() to fire in CaptionPlugin.as. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Here's how I set up my project in Adobe Flash CS4:start a flash actionscript 3 projectSave project as CaptionPlugin.flaGo to properties panel and fill the class field with the word CaptionPluginGo to Publish Settings>Flash (tab)>settings>Library Path and includedSaved all my changesWent to Debug>Debug movie
I've got this weird problem with Flash in a embed browser in an ASP.NET Windows Application. I've got this Flash Movie that runs in the Windows application and has got a couple of comboboxes. I've added an eventlistener to such a box, but his change event isn't triggerd on some computers. When I click on the combobox it opens up, but when I click on an item in the combobox it closes before he could trigger the change event.
The weird part is that this occurs on some computers, on others it works as it should. And when I load the swf directly in the browser the comboboxes work all the time. So it has something to do with the Windows Application and Flash. All the tested computers have the Flash plugin version 9 and higher (needed for my movie) installed.
I'm loading in a jpeg and sometimes the Event.COMPLETE is never fired. I have a ProgressEvent that traces out the bytesTotal and bytesLoaded... and it goes all the way up until the bytesTotal equals bytesLoaded... but randomly, the Event.COMPLETE is never fired!
ok this seems to look like it should work.. but for some reason the Event.COMPLETE listener for the loader is not getting fired..
does anyone see something that I missed..
i put in trace statements in to see where its not getting to..
I verified this so far..
- the constructor function does appear to add the even listener to the loader.
- Unit3DPreview.load() function gets called (from the parent class) and receives the _path string properly..
- the loader does have an Event.COMPLETE listener at the time of the loader.load() call..
- the renderAnimation listener function never gets fired off.. even though the listener has been added..
there is no IO error.. the image is in the correct location.. I know this because if I remove it .. I get an IO error..
one thing is that there is an instance of this class already placed inside a library symbol that is associated to another class that passes a bunch of data .. the preview image path being one part of it.
not sure if having it be already existing vs me creating it via code would make a difference .. that is something I have not tried yet.
