Is there a way to check the method that has been attached to the stage?I have stage as global.. and need to fire some function in a object on mouseup...Now it fires 2 or 3 depending how many objects i add..I need something like..
if($.stage.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, this.mouseUp) === false){
$.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, this.mouseUp);
}
The simplified code:
//triggered on MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN
private function beginDrag(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, drag);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, endDrag);
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, endDrag);
[Code] .....
I am using some click-and-drag techniques within my flash code, and I've noticed some loopholes with the MOUSE_UP event:
-It wont be triggered if a context menu is activated while the mouse is still held down.
-It wont be triggered if the window is deactivated (alt+tab or similar)
What other events can possibly interrupt the MOUSE_UP event and lead to unexpected behavior? Additionally is there a way to generically catch ContextMenuEvent.MENU_SELECT for all context menus without having to manually add/remove the listeners to each context menu?
ive got several movie clips as buttons in a parent movie clip that i hide/show. each button has its own instance name. even when the parent movie clip is invisible the button clips still get onmouseup events. when the parent is visable i dont even need to click on the movie clip to get the event to fire. even though i put the functions on diffrent clips they all fire, here are two of them:
Code:
_root.menuLevelUp.btnShipHealthUp.onMouseUp = function()
{
trace("healthUp");[code]....
whenever i click even when the parent clips is not visable i get
Code:
healthUp
speedUp
i am making a simple "tank-type" game in flash using Actionscript 3..the gun rotates according to the where the mouse is and it also fires bullets (which are movieclips dynamically added from the library)...i would like to know the simplest way of detecting if the bullets are already outside the stage so i can call removeChild and remove them...
View 1 RepliesBug in Firefox if wmode is set to opaque or transparent.mouseUp is not triggered if mouseUp occurs offstage.I have slider code that should stopDrag on mouseUp, but if mouseUp occurs off stage, the slider stays connected to mouse on re-entry, even though the mouse is now up.Bug does not occur in other browsers, and does not occur if wmode is null.I have tried every variable and every fix I can think of, and can't resolve the issue.I have multiple versions now in AS2 and AS3 and I've followed every suggestion I've found online, including html/flash javascript. Nothing works yet.
View 14 RepliesI'm trying to implement a very simple way to select a subsection of the screen via mouse. The workflow is the standard one for many apps - click on starting point, move mouse and transparent rectangle updates between first point clicked and current position of the mouse. The basic code looks something like this (minus the graphics, which is simple)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
[Code].....
This breaks down when the user moves the mouse outside of the app. Not only _currentPoint stops updating, but also if you let go the mouse button outside of the app you miss the mouseUp event, i.e. when you move the mouse back on the app _currentPoint starts updating again as if you had never let go of the mouse button. Was wondering if there is a way in Flex (for web apps) to get around this by listening to mouseMove and mouseUp events when outside of the app (if that's possible)
I want to let the user control an object, in this case a cartoon character blowing a bubble. I want the user to be able to control the bubble by rapidly clicking their mouse. The faster they click the bigger it gets and when they dont click or click slowly the bubble gets smaller in size.[URL]

View 7 RepliesAS3 and have been searching the internet looking for an answer without much success - hence this post.What I am trying to do is detect if the stage (flash object) is on the screen or if the person has scrolled and it has gone off screen. Does anybody know how to do this?
View 0 RepliesIn the past, using Flash CS3 when I needed to remove timers or event listeners from a swf that had been loaded into a parent swf I'd use this inside the loaded swf:
Code:
this.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, deactivate, false, 0, true);
function deactivate(e:Event):void
{
[code]....
Now that I've upgraded to CS5 and am outputting to Flash Player 10 this no longer seems to work. The event fires right away. Does anyone know why this might be and if there's an alternative that I can use?I tried the unloadAndStop() method in the parent swf but I'm trying to remove some TweenMax delay timers and it doesn't seem to be working.
Is there a clean efficient way to detect when the mouse enters the stage? I want to achieve something similar to the iPhone Notification Centre, drag down onto the stage and something will happen.

I�m trying to use Listeners to capture the MouseUp event based on Helen Triolo�s sample at [URL]I reused her code and loaded the listener�s array (with MC names that will listen to the MU event) from a textfile.My problem is that I don�t have these MCs on the _root. They�re located deep in the MC hierarchy, this way: MCComponent-->MC1-->MC2-->MCs I want to address for listening (I have about 250 MCs in this level of depth which I want to to address for listening)So, when defining the MouseUp function for each MC to respond to, I couldn�t address the MCs. I tried in different ways without any result.
This is the code:
// set up responders for each listener
// listeners is the Array with MC names which I loaded from
// the textfile
for (var i in listeners) {
[code].....
Is there any way of making this work? Is there something missing in this code ? Note: I cannot put these MCs on the root because of other functionalities that they need to accomplish...By the way..., what about RollOver and RollOut ? Can they be captured too ? I�ve read about capturing MouseUp, Move and Down but not Rollovers...
I am wanting to write an if statement which says that when the mouse cursor exits the stage area, remove child.
Was thinking something like if mouse cursor is less than stage.stageWidth or stage.stageHeight?
I've written a bit of code that will allow users to move objects around the stage and detect if one has hit another. The problem is that it only works for a limited number of objects. how to rewrite the code so that it works with an unlimited number of objects?
View 4 RepliesI have got this script working from How to get mouseup to fire once mousemove complete working within the jQuery (document) scope.Later on I added a flash object inside the body.and when I click on the flash object the mousedown event fired, mousemove event fired, but not the mouseup event which where I want to unbind the mousemove. But when I click on non Flash area, mousedown works, mousemove works, and mouseup also works. It works like I wanted it to in Chrome, but not in Firefox.Here are the codes, and I called handleMouseDown in $(document).ready
handleMouseDown: function () {
jQuery(document).mouseup(function() {

I am designing a physics container. Don't worry, my question is not about the physics. Here is part of my code. Noticed that I have a SetStyle statement there. I realized that if I don't have that line, the MOUSE_DOWN, MOUSE_UP events won't work. If I do have that line, then those events works fine.
Code:
package components {
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import spark.components.SkinnableContainer;
public class Test extends SkinnableContainer {

View 9 RepliesI've just finished a flash projector for my company's lobby that displays all members of the staff in a dynamically generated grid with a page for each department. Flash reads an xml file generated from our Active Directory using php.
I've just discovered a bug. We have several employees that don't wish to have their images displayed; the autogenerated path to their images are therefore false. When the screen loads, a blank space appears where the movieclip is supposed to load.
How do I detect that the image link is bad (must be simple as flash gives out debug errors)? I would like to load an alternate image for staff with missing images.
Here's a snippet of where the movie clips are generated:
Code:
for (i=0;i<nodes.length;i++) {

//load the image from the xml nodes array
this["new"+i].photo.loadMovie("images/staff/"+nodes[i].attributes.photo);
}
What is the correct event listener to detect a child added to the stage? I tried:
[Code]...
which doesn't work. I also tried ADDED_TO_STAGE but that doesn't fire it either. Do you know the correct way to detect when the child is added? Perhaps I should be attaching the listener to the parent instead?
If you have a DateChooser control next to a text control and you left click your mouse to select the text then continue holding down the mouse button and letting the mouse button up while over the datechooser control, the selectedDate value changes to the date you are hovering over. I have users that are having issues with this and it happens unintentionally because of the proximity of the two controls. I cannot find a way to stop this effect. Basically I would want the selectedDate to only change if the user actually clicks the calendar control ie. mouseDown or click. Calling functions in those events do not change this behavior. I need a way to disable the control from changing the date on the mouseUpEvent (I think).

If you mousedown inside a Flash element, it never registers the mouseup and it appears as though you're still holding your mouse button down even though you've let go. At first I thought it was some kind of event bubbling issue, that this method was swallowing the event, so I tried returning true (and false for that matter) but it didn't seem to have any effect.
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 created an animation (see attached) where the stage can be dragged from left to right to reveal hidden areas off the edge of the stage. Unfortunately I need to add buttons containing links to websites within the dragable movie symbol and I can't work out how to do it.
