I COMPLETELY MESSED UP MY CODE AND DID NOT CHANGE THE MOVIECLIP NAMES WHEN COPING IT INTO STACKOVERFLOW. SO IT MADE NO SENSE.
I am wondering if there is a better way to accomplish the following as3:
//THREE EVENT LISTENERS
shoe_icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, shoeApp);
top_icon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, topApp);
[Code].....
How do i pass a variable to a function from an event listener which is inside a function Below is a function that is called when after loading some variables
function dataOK(mydataevent:Event):void{
var j:int = 0;
do {
trace(j);
[Code]....
This is a simplified version of the original code. The above function generates an error because j is undefined in the function. I am wanting to get the variable j when the button is pressed.
How do I pass the variable j to the Button_Click function?
I am running a loop to pull thumbs into a containing movieclip from an xml list. What I want to do is have the thumb's parent movieclip fade in after they are done loading, but I can't figure out how to reference the parent once it's loaded.My code(which currently doesn't work the way I want it):
var vsThumb:articleBox;
var currentarticleX:Number = 0;
var articleLinkURL:String;

I have a movieClip named MC, and it's enabled with action script, with the class name MC_Rectangle and a Stage.I override the MC_Rectangle class file in a mc_rectangle.as external file.here is the code:
package{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;[ code].....
I have new a object in the main stage var
mc_rect:MC_Rectangle = new MC_Rectangle()
in main stage:
1. how can i access the variable "sequence" in "mc_rect"
2. how can i pass parametre from main stage to mc_rect via function setSequence(data:int)?
3. how can i call the function in addSequence() in mc_rect.
in asp.net, i usually use mc_rect.sequenct,mc_rect.setSequence(data), mc_rect.addSequence() to achieve my goals......btw, can function in mc_rect return out result to main stage?
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."
Suppose I want to create a bunch of buttons using a loop. But I want each button to do something different. Suppose the buttons are numbered and I simply want each button to print out its unique number when clicked. Heres what I have so far:
Code:
var t:CTextField;
for (var i:int = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
t = new TextField();
[code]...
Ive tried many different things to get this to work, but none of them worked so I wont bother posting them all. At best, I got it so every single button traced "button 100 was clicked". I sort of understand why that happened, but I dont know how to make it work properly. Once again, all I could find was people saying "use custom events", but I think I need a lot more details than that. For example, I dont see how changing
Code:
t.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, buttonClicked);
to
Code:
t.addEventListener(MySpecialMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, buttonClicked);
Is it possible to pass parameters through for instance a MouseEvent.CLICK, or Event.ENTER_FRAME, if so then how?
View 3 RepliesI have already created a custom mouse event which seems to work fine. It is simply a mouse event which passes an additional sound object. The problem is I am passing this event to another class which checks for collision of a movie clip with another and if true it adds the sound to an array. What I think is happening is a type conversion problem between my customEvent and the MouseEvent. [code]...

View 2 RepliesI have 2 functions. Each one is being called by a different event listener. Both event listeners work because I am able to trace strings in both of them.. my problem is that i am trying to create a variable that is local to both functions. The first function "working" adds a number to the variable and when the second event listener triggers function "notworking" which retrieves this same variable called "counting" both functions are called automatically by event listeners.. how do I do this? i am stomped!

I've been having a problem with multiple event listeners calling the same function (this is just a snippet of the code):

This has been my problem for a couple of days now.... I need to send a variable from flash that is embedded in an html to a javascript that will eventually should print the variables(that is the use of the js :to print).
So I've been using externalInterface.call("printval",param1,param2,pa ram3) to send my variables... I've put an alert in my javascript so that i could test if the value is there, the frustrating thing is the alert is showing with the variables but the printing part isnt executed. I tried this in firefox and it work, but I need this in ie...
I want to make a static function that I can use in all the custom classes.It should be some kill(); function that would remove the object from the stage as well as removing its event listeners. I made it in Document class, and it didn't work. Here's the code:

i have one movie clip named one_mc.And i have one function named thisFunction.to add an event listener, i would code:
one_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_SOMETHING , thisfunction);
1) I want to show a box containing some text when the mouse is OVER it. Of course, when its not over, the box should not appear
2) I want to give parameters to thisFunction in order to use it, the way i prefer!
I must make one eventlistener for MOUSE_OVER and another for MOUSE_OUT? How do I pass parameters for the function when i call it?
is it possible to write a function to move an object and then call that function on a clip event for instance
function (bounce){
script;
script;
}
and then call it by saying
on(mouseOver){
this.bounce;
}
I want to be able to call a JavaScript function from a Flex app using ExternalInterface and pass a reference to a different JavaScript function as an argument.

I'm trying to call a function in frame 1 of my SWF and also pass it a parameter.
I need to do this from elsewhere on the embedding HTML page using JavaScript.
For example call the function flashFunction(foo);
Does this require a listener in Flash that listens for the call, excepts "foo" and then calls the flashFunction and passes "foo" to it?
Can this be called directly without a listener?
I headed some problem which can't solve. It's simple. I'm making slideshow, and wanna pictures to be dynamically loaded. List of images is stored in list.xml - a valid xml file. Now, here is piece of the code:
var imgno :Number ; //the var which tells the number of images listed in list.xml
var myXML:XML;
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
So, the triggered function processXML cannot change value of any variable which stands out of her. Is there a way to export (in this case) information about amount of images listed in list.xml to some of the variables that I can use later (for example imgno).
I want to monitor a variable. Whenever the variable value changes I want to call a function. In actionscript 2 I can use "watch" but in as3 what can do ?

how I can pass a variable calculated in a function, to the stage.
View 9 RepliesIs there any way that you can pass a string to a function and use its value as the variable name you wish to change. For example.
Code:
var text:String = "Goodbye World";
function myfunction ( varToChange)
{
varToChange = "Hello World";
}
myfunction("text")
I was just wondering if it's possible to pass a variable from one swf to a function on another swf?
I have 2 containers on my main stage, each one loads an external swf, I want one to send a variable to a function in the other container.
I simply tried calling the function by doing _root.container2.fncTest("works"); just to see if it works
and in container2 I have
Code:
function fncTest(test):Void {
myText = test; //dynamic text box on the stage
}
but that didn't seem to work.. Do I have to make the function public or that only works for classes?
