Actionscript 3 :: Adobe Flex - MouseDown Event On Label Values?
Aug 6, 2010
I just would like to know how can I dynamically change a label's values while on mousedown.I basically have a mousedown event and I also have two labels in my application. What I would like to happen is to get the current x and y position of my mouse pointer as I move my mouse through the screen and changing the values of the labels into the values of the current x and y coordinates of the mouse pointer.
protected function object_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
curX = this.mouseX;[code]........
However, what this code does is that it records the coordinates of my mouse as it moves across the screen. What i want now to do is just to get the coordinates of the mouse while event is on mouseDown. What i'm thinking is to call the mouseDown event and ask it if the mouse is currently down, if it returns true, then i'll start recording.

I have a parent sprite that contains several child sprites. I have attached mouse click and mouse down event amongst others to the parent sprite. And in the listeners I check which child has been targeted using the "event.target" property. However It seems that the mouse click event does not trigger for some reason. Is it possible that the mouse down event is eating up the click event. Is this a know issue in as3 and is there a possible workaround?

How can the text in a Label control (or a similar control) be wrapped in Flex 4 beta? In Flex 3 I could use the Text control but this is no longer available in Flex 4.

I modified a mouseDown event to use
mouseListener.onMouseMove = function() {
moveGlow();
};
But the glow animation restarts everytime the mouse moves. Can someone point me towards a tutorial or a tip on using a conditional to detect the mouseMove so it doesn't start over?

I'm working on a custom AS visual component, based on UIComponent class. Inside this component, I have a button I programatically added. I set the mouseClick event of it, and it works fine. When the mouseClick for the button starts, it adds a listener for MouseDown on the stage. This is my problem. Once that MouseDown event listener is initiated it won't ever pay attention to the MouseClick listener of the button (which will
turn off the MouseDown listener!). I've tried setting the priority number when creating the listeners, but this is not working. My mouseClick listeners gets ignored.

<mx:Label id="myLabel" dataChange="{trace('changed!!');}" />
I change the text in the above label:
myLabel.text = "new text";
But nothing is traced as it's supposed to.
Am I using a wrong event? I thought dataChange is fired when text in the label is changed.

I have created a linkbar with two labels. Now, I need to keep a track of the label clicks.i.e. If in the beginning "First" is clicked, the details will be displayed. After that, if without submitting the details, "Second" is clicked then an alert message should come to inform the user that "First is still in progress, do you want to cancel and begin Second operation". Vice-versa for Second to First transition. I need to know how to write events to keep track of which button clicked.

overriding clone() while creating custom events?I read in the Flex cookbook that we need just in case we want to redispatch this event. Does this exactly means that when we want event to be bubbled up the display hierarchy , at that time our custom cloned event should be dispatched and not the Event object.
second - whats the need of metadata tag -
[Event(name="modelEvent", type="com.abc.data.model.ModelEvent")]
public class LoginModel extends EventDispatcher
I understand we need to extend EventDispatcher in case we want to dispatch evnet from class.. but In what cases i would need to specify the MetaData TAg
Third is.. If i write -- "dynamic customEventClass extends Event".. Is there any use of Dynamic i can make?

I just have a one quick question on Timer and TimerEvent (flash.events.TimerEvent & flash.utils.Timer) of Adobe Flex.I am currently working on a project wherein I need to occasionally change speed, stop and play an swf animation (loaded to a loader and instantiated as a ByteArray).Example, I have a moving car (swf animation) running at 40kph. Then I have a button which will change the speed by increments of 40kph. SO basically, whenever I hit the button, the playing car should change speed by the increment. The difficult part is, I already had this working in Adobe Flex but it doesn't change the speed yet. I mean, it only moves by the keyframe interval I set when I created the swf file on flash (which is, to say, 30 frame interval per keyframe).
So in short, I just need to make the speed change depending on how many increments I asked it to change. A colleague told me to use Timer and TimeEvent of Flex but I can't seem to quite get the hang of it since I'm still new to the ActionScript world.

I am using shared object to share data between two users. First user connect to shared object and set some value in shared object. Please consider that second user has not connected with the shared object yet.Now when second user connects to the server and try to get that property set by first user, he could get shared object but could not get properties of Shared object set by first user. I observed few times that Second user can get these properties within "Sync" event between two users. But I would like to get these values for Second user in any stage (i.e. in load event etc.). Whenever Second user tries to get the property of Shared object, the object will reset the actual property value and then return reset value.
1) Is there any way to get all the properties of shared object before sync event called, as I want to get it immediately when second user connect to the application and perform next task based on the values stored in shared object.
2) Is it possible for second user to check whether any property has been set by first user? So that second user can use the property instead of reset it.

I created a list control at runtime as following:
[Code]....
//Where myDataArray is an ArrayCollection consisting of my Custom ValueObjects. When i execute the code it displays my list with custom item renderer, which is fine. But when bring my mouse over it, it doesn't give any colour highlight which means it is not selecting. Secondly, when i click on any of the list item, it doesn't dispatch any change event. I tried a lot but couldn't understand it.

set some filters on the bitmap after it has been loaded.During development (Debug mode), everything worked and the even has been fired just fine.But now I switched to Release mode and the complete event doesn't fire anymore.To load the image, I set the source property of the image to an URL that points to a PNG image. That does still work in release mode, so the image appears correctly.It's just that the "complete" event doesn't fire, no matter what I try.

I have a scenario where I am listening to both CLICK and MouseDown events for an object.
On MouseDown I do a startDrag(). And on Click, I perform something else.
But the problem is that, MouseDown event fires first and it initiates a drag. The click event does not fire.

In Flex 3, I have an ItemRenderer that has a button in it. I want users to be able to click and drag this Renderer, but also just click the button. Right now it's working with the Renderer listening on "MouseMove" to initiate drag and drop, and the button listening on "click". However this is very screwy. If somebody is dragging a scroll bar and comes anywhere near that renderer, MouseMove gets fired on the renderer and initiates dragging.
(or if somebody is resizing a HDividedBox, basically if someone initiated a click anywhere in the app and rolls over this renderer, we get unwanted dragging. The alternative is listening on MouseDown instead of MouseMove, which fixes the previous issue, however the nested button loses it's click. I can click on the button, but the renderer just thinks it's time to Drag.

In Flex 4, I have a Spark List component with item renderers. I would like to select an item in the List by clicking on it, and deselect it also, by clicking on the same selected item. Like an on/off switch.
My item renderer has the following states:
<s:states>
<s:State name="normal"/>
<s:State name="hovered"/>
<s:State name="selected"/>
</s:states>
so I tried to add a click event listener to the item renderer with:
private function selectUnSelect():void {
if (currentState == 'selected') currentState = 'normal';
else currentState = 'selected';
}
with an awkward behaviour... where the item stay selected even after clicking it again in the selected state.
Think of using the List component without the Command (on mac) or the Control button on windows.

I'm new to Flex and am porting a pure Flash/AS3 app to Flex 4.5. I've created a custom MXML component based on BorderContainer
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:BorderContainer
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" [code]...........
and it would work well, but here in Flex 4.5 I don't know how to do this.Also I've noticed that there is a dropShadowVisible="true" attribute, but not sure if/how it can be used for my purposes.And I'm not sure if scaling up/down a custom component is allowed in flex or I probably should use "Flex Effects" (but how?) and also set disableLayout="true"?

I have built a Air 2/Flex 4 kiosk application with Flash Builder 4. Currently I am implementing a touch screen browser to enable users to navigate company training videos. In an attempt to improve the usability of the website on the touchscreen I have placed the HTML component in an adaption of Doug McCune's DragScrollingCanvas (updated to use the flex 4 'Scroller' component) to allow users to scroll the webpage by dragging their finger across the screen. The mouseDown event is used to start scrolling the viewport.
In addition the webpage was modified to disable text selection with the following css:
[Code]...
As an alternative I also tried adding a group container with the same dimensions as the HTMLLoader to detect the mouseDown events (so that the group container and HTMLLoader have the same Dragable parent container) and was able to capture mouseDown events and scroll the viewport as expected. However as the mouse event is handled by the group container, I am now unable to navigate the webpage.

what i mean is, is there a way in AS3,or in programming in general(php, js etc) to make an event fire/ activate "WHEN" something does something, as oppose to an if/else if / else statements ?for example, say i want to make an event fire /activate ONLY when a frame label is hit, and thereafter , do something else etc, essentially making it do things one by one down the line according to WHEN certain objectives are met. is there a "when" type of statement etc that will do this as oppose to if/else if etc??? for example, using the above example, instead of me doing something like this:
Code:
xyz.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME / or INIT , btn);
function btn(e:Event):void{
if ( externalSwf.currentFrameLabel == " label here "){[code]...
i have a little project im working on (smooth transitions of external swfs code) that is partly working but i cant for the life of me, figure out how to implement a structure like what i have directly above.

i am not an action script developer nor flash designer, i just want to have a small action script sample that i will edit a little to make it interact with my javascript code. By the way, i want to have a button and a label on a flash form, when the user clicks on this button the onclick event will call another function 'setText for example' this setText() function will change the label text. So i think the code will be something like this:
[Code]....
I managed to put the button and the label i want just the code i will write to make this work.
