I want a function to be triggered when a certain global var becomes true - I want to do this using an event listener. I can do it as a one off using an if statement, but how do you set up a listener to trigger the function if the value becomes true at any time?
View 3 RepliesI need to trigger 4 different functions when I move the mouse poiter over a movieclip; do I need to use 4 listeners or can I use only one to call all the 4 functions?
Now I do this
movieclip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE.OVER, function1);
movieclip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE.OVER, function2);
movieclip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE.OVER, function3);
movieclip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE.OVER, function4);
I have a stage listener for keyboard events, that triggers one of two error checking functions for text field inputs depending on which movieclip the fields are in. Text fields in certain movieclips trigger a function that checks if the entry is between a certain numerical range, whereas the textfields in the other movieclips test to make sure the text fields aren't left empty.
It works fine apart from me not accounting for keyboard events other than letters, numbers and punctuation, or, among others, the Shift key.
So what's happening now is that keyboard events outside of numbers, letters and punctuation are triggering an output error.
The listener I'm using is:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, KeyPressed);
KeyPressed is a function that determines which error checking function to run depending on which movieclip window is open.
How do I apply one variable and one function to many movieclips?[code]The reuseFade function works if I target the movieclip by name on the stage,ex: var T1:Tween = new Tween(mc_black1, "alpha", Strong.easeIn, 0, 100, 5, true);using "this" doesn't work.The only way I know how to make this work is creating four functions to handle the event
View 7 RepliesI'm having some problems switching from As 2.0 to As 3.0. How to make a variable trigger. in As 3.0? Lets say i have this on my time-line.
function onClick2(evt:MouseEvent):void{
var pagenumber = "pg03";
switch01.gotoAndStop("red");
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
How do I make a mc gotoAndPlay (_root.pagenumber) like we do in As 2.0?
I have an event listener attached to a movie clip. The corresponding function has an instance of the loader class. So I am getting error #1034, coercion failed.
My thought is to have the event listener trigger a neutral function which itself will trigger the function with the loader class instance.
i have a function that loads a text file into a textbox
i call the function from a series of menu buttons (about us, clients etc...)
both the function and the textbox are on the main time line (the textbox is in an mc instance named "text_mc"
the function triggers when i click any button - but won't trigger again after that
button code:
on(press){
loadText("services.txt");
}
[Code]....
** if i put both bits of code behind each button it works fine (but i obviously don't want to do that)
In stage Number of MovieClips is there. and MovieClips inside some functions is there .iam giveing dynamic property to MovieClips same as function name.because iam click the MovieClip call the function.

function callinsidefunction(event:MouseEvent){
/// event.target.functionName

View 2 RepliesI really just want to know how to trigger a function when my movie hits a certain frame.
I made a very simple flash show to try to illustrate my problem a little more clearly. I have a green and a gray button. Using the 'switch_buttons' command I turned the gray button invisible at the beginning. What I then want to happen is that on the 10th frame the green button will become invisible and the gray button will appear. But I haven't had any luck. It seems like I need to call a function to switch the buttons somehow.
I am looking for an as3 class that lets me set a list offunctions to be called and a time/delay in seconds or miliseconds..
View 1 RepliesI need to trigger a function or reset a variable from within a sprite when it gets to a certain frame. I keep getting the error "Call to a possibly undefined method" when I call a function and I get "Access of undefined property" when I try to reset the variable directly. Both the function and variable are set globally in the first frame of my animation.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to trigger a function when a MovieClip gets to a certain frame, and then have that function move the playhead in the parent movieclip.
The function is conditional and dependent on the Variable set in the Parent timline. Here is the function I have:
Code:
function habitatBG(event:Event):void {
if (habitat == "forest") {
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("forest_critters");
[Code]....
How do I trigger this function when the playhead gets to a certain frame?
I have a simple f4V file that I am playing through the FLVPlayback component. It is working great. I even have a cue point in there, and it is firing off what it is supposed to do.
However, what I am curious about is if there is a way to detect when the file is done playing in order to fire off a function?
I suppose I could do it with a cue point, but I am going to need to do this a lot, and don't want to have to place cue points in all my videos.
I have found a lot of conflicting info on this subject, and am not sure how to do it, but it doesn't seem like it should be too hard.
I cant figure out how to trigger different url requests from my xml in one function.
Code: Select allprivate function drawButtonsFromXML(loadedXML:XML) {
var xmlInfo:XMLList=loadedXML.main.button;
for each (var xButton:XML in knappInfo) {
[code]...
So in other words.. Im getting all the names from the xml and adding them to the stage. But i dont know how to add the @site to the different buttons.
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out why I can't trigger the function playUntil, which is another private function in this class, in this snippet. This is all residing in a class, and I'm wondering if that is what is making things tricky. Any help would be great. I tried tracing out currentTween.obj as well as currentDestination, both of which return undefined.

I am using the following key listener to trigger a login function:
code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
login();
}}
Key.addListener(keyListener);
However this triggers the login function twice, which causes the user to get a error saying they are already logged in. I have a button on the stage which triggers the same function.
code:
login_btn.onRelease = login;
And this works fine. How I can ensure that the keylistener only triggers the login function once?
I have an AS3 code (home_esp.as) that imports the class of another one (InternalCarousel.as):
import InternalCarousel;
and uses it as its:
var carrusel:InternalCarousel = new InternalCarousel();
carrusel.y = -900;
carrusel.x = -200;
carrusel.scaleX = 1.4;
carrusel.scaleY = 4;
addChild (carrusel);
I need that the buttons of the imported file triggers a function that appears on the origin file, I tried with:
home_esp.pantAparece();
parent.pantAparece();
root.pantAparece();
But nothing seems to work. Which is the correct code that I have to use to make it work?
I'm making a site that loads external swfs based on which button is clicked. When the swf loads it plays an intro and then stops at a certain point. My goal is that when you click another button the current swf plays an outro before the next one loads.The problem I'm having is making the outgoing movie trigger the function that loads the next.At first I tried just adding loadNextMovie(); to the last frame of the loaded swf. But for some reason this causes the two stops in the file from working so the thing just keeps looping. I have no idea why adding this function call would prevent stop(); from working.Is there another way to have the end of movie trigger the function? Also, why doesn't adding loadNextMovie(); to the last frame of the loaded swf work?

I am trying to make a simple mp3 player using flash. The songs are loaded using an XML file which contains the song list. I have "play" button with the instance name "PlayBtn". I have an actionscript file named "playctrl", the content of which are listed below:
package classes
{
import flash.media.Sound;
[Code].....
However on clicking the play button, I notice that the function playSong() is called 7-8 times(check by printing an error msg. inside the function) resulting in overlapped audio output and the player crashing as a result. The function should be called only once when the MouseEvent.CLICK is triggered.
I changed the startframe with the currentFrame command in order to run the function from the frame that its triggered. I dont wont to put limits on startframe by defining it into the code. The clip starts playing normally. Normal speed. In about the middle I want to change it speed. So (according to the code) I just have to place the cursor on the clip in order to trigger the function (it could be with the clip of a button). The thing is that everytime that the function is triggered the clip starts -not from the frame that it was triggered- but from the beggining.
thatBall.play();
var mc_playrateChange:MovieClip;
function framerateF(mc:MovieClip,framerate:int,currentFrame :int,endframe:int):void{
mc_playrateChange = mc;
mc.timer=new Timer(1000/framerate,endframe-currentFrame);
mc.gotoAndStop(currentFrame);
