I have a rectangle with an event listener like so:
rect.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startMove);
private function startMove(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.nativeWindow.startMove();
}
this works fine.I also have a button inside this rectangle, and when I click the button the window drags just like if I had clicked on the rectangle.
How can I stop this from happening? I tried removing the event but that didn't work, I don't even know which event to remove, the mouseDown or NativeDrag event... There is no stopDrag() function in nativeWindow.

When working with NativeWindow's in AIR, can you get an event everytime the window is minimized / unminimized? I tried hooking up with DisplayStateChanged but its not firing when the window is minimized. you know how to get such an event?

I have asked before but that was a week ago and ive changed alot of code. I am still having the same issue of trying to ignore MOUSE_MOVE while a tween plays and then reactivate MOUSE_MOVE on Finish. I have tried timers aswell to anticipate the finish with no luck as if i move some code a error #1009 happens.
I have alos tried motion_finished, if statements and even values with no luck as the code will just not function unless left as below.[code]...
Is there a way to make an object ignore a drop event, so that an object "under" it gets the event instead?Here's the scenario: (All are movieclips)[code]...
I've built a UIComponent in AS3. When I drag it onto the stage during authoring time, the ADDED_TO_STAGE event fires.
I have an event handler, but it's really only meant to perform actions at runtime, not when I'm dropping the component onto the stage to design the layout. Is there any way to check to see if the component is "running" in a live SWF?
Basically, I don't want the ADDED_TO_STAGE event handler to do anything at design time.
I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.
In my isometric flash game I have some models with long shadows. I want to ignore the mouse events (move, click, down and up) when the user performs any action on the shadow part of the image. (see sample image) I know there is a way we can do it by creating a mask in flash. But what if I want to handle it on the .png images (bitmap)? Do I need to create a mask image for all such images? I think it will be very big deal unless there are easy ways (using tools in Photoshop).
I'm a designer who knows basic flash, but I got a freelancer to help me out with my website. She added an event calendar, which works great, but the designer in me wants to tweak the way it looks, which affects the way it's coded. Working in AS2.
As it is, the Month and Year act as a single entity. I'm wanting to separate these independent parts. I've tried messing around with the code, but unfortunately, my flash skills are limited. If there's anyone who could give the included .fla file a look over and maybe give me some tips on what to do. I'm also including an image of what I'm hoping the calendar to look like (ignore the "date unavailable on the bottom." If you open the flash file, you'll see what I mean about the month and year acting as a single entity.
if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.
I'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.
This is a very basic question but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which is working great. I created the actionscript to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse over so when someone mouse's over any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.
I am sure that this can be done using actionscript in a mouse event roll over command but I can't figure out what I need to show the text. Here is where I am:
how can i access event.target outside event listener method.say for example
my_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onC); function onC(e:MouseEvent):void { var m:MovieClip = e.target as MovieClip; } trace(m.totalframes);/// not working
now what if i want to get totalframe property of m instance, in short for every movieClip clicked.
I am doing this inside a module containing viewstacks and their childs.Calling onInit() on creationComplete of module.When I am inside one of the childs of a viewstack of this module and press Enter, it doesnt not invoke the listener function at all (bp inside this does not get hit).
private function onInit():void{ this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed); }[code]..........
This might be more of a subjective question, but is it generally best practice to have one dedicated method per event-types that you add an event-listener?
Such as:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver); myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut); //Somewhere else in the code...
[Code].....
And if you had a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and other relevant MouseEvents event-listeners to watch for, you could even set a switch statement to handle all the various MouseEvent types.
I have these buttons in a movie clip and I would like to have only one event listener for the parent, using event.target to point to the children. I have also tried event.currentTarget, and it didn't work.here is the code that works:
I have a code in AS3 that works when you rollover it. I need to use the same code but not with an eventlistener for a mouse event but a frame event when the timeline plays the clip
var coordX:Number = shaker_mc.x;var coordY:Number = shaker_mc.y;var timer:Timer = new Timer(10); shaker_mc.buttonMode = false; shaker_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,startShake);shaker_mc.addEventListener(Mous
printableInvoice.addEventListener(batchGenerated, printableInvoice_batchGeneratedHandler);Results in this error: 1120: Access of undefined property batchGenerated. I have tried it as FlexEvent.batchGenerated and FlashEvent.batchGenerated.
The MetaData and function that dispatches the even in the component printableInvoice is all right. It I instantiate printableInvoice as an mxml component instead of via action-script it well let put a tag into the mxml line: batchGenerated="someFunction()
This is something that tugs at my mind a lot so I figured I'd ask the community. If I have a class called MyParentWidget and it contains an instance of MyChildWidget with an instance name of myChildWidget then I will often do something like this:
I'm building a center stage object and I wanted to know if there's any way to add a event listener that checks if the children have changed in size.[code]This seems like it should be available but I can't find a reference.
I have a simple roll over animation. After the roll over, is there any way to disable the event listener so that the animation will play completely before any further interaction happens? Then re-enable it so it can be rolled over again? [code]...
I have a rollover function that sets alpha values, and i also have a click function that sets the alpha even higher on click. I also have a roll out function to return it to normal when roll out. The thing is i want it to hold the high alpha value on click because that is the web page is selected. It works, but the second i rool out or roll over, it sets the value back. [code]...
i have my main swf that loads different swfs for content.on a portfolio page i have two buttons web and print.by default print loads first.
but lets say someone has entered my portfolio and while print is loading the user clicks on web, the print has not done loading so its even listeners will not be removed causing a clash with my web swf pre loader and letting it work.
I am loading data from XML and can create MovieClips to hold the images and text data for each node. However, I can't figure out how to add an onRelease Event Listeners to each MovieClip.
