Actionscript 3 :: Unable To Capture Button Click When Using Mouse Move Listener
Mar 18, 2012
In my first AS3 project (not used Flash since AS1) I need to use a custom movie clip as a cursor and detect clicking on a button. Using the code below, the custom cursor works as expected, but I am unable to capture clicking on the button.
If I comment out the first line, the trace for clicking works as expected. I have tried changing the order of the event listeners, applying the follow to the button rather than the stage, but cannot get both to work together.
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,follow);
start_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, playPhrase);
function playPhrase(event:MouseEvent) {
[Code].....

I would like to have a movie to play when the mouse is over a button instead of when it is clicked. My script is now:
btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClick);

I'm new to Flash and Actionscript. I'm trying to move the mouse to a random button and press it to have the onRollOver and onPress functionality.
I've tried this for mouse-over:
_xmouse = randomSelected._x;
_ymouse = randomSelected._y;
Apparently, this doesn't work....
If this is accomplished, I also need to simulate the mouse click(or button press) over the button. I've tried for hours and am seeing no logical end.
I've successfully managed to call the correct onPress and onRollOver for the random button selected, but these are just the handlers for the events. I need to raise those events in the first place.

this seems to be a simple task at beginning. I have a mygameboard object which inherited from spirit class. I added eventlistener and handler in the constructor. For some reason, the click event handler only receives some of the clicks when the mouse points to certain area of the mygameboard object. I have noticed that areas receiving mouse events are child textfield objects of mygameboard.instance. Putting this.mouseEnabled = true; in the constructor has no effect. How can I enable the whole display area of mygameboard receiving mouse events?

I have been trying to find this on google for ages but can't seem to get a decent result, usually I find about the flash context menu.
In Flash Air, I want to be able to capture the Right Click Mouse Event, i'm sure this is very simple but i've checked the documentation and looked on google but can't seem to come up with a result.
Does anyone know how to capture this event?

I have two scenes in flash - when you go to scene 2 there is a eventListener attached to the stage to move a movieclip. When I test the movie the only way the keyboard listener seems to work is if I click on the stage first, then the object will move. Is there a solution to this. The code I am using is:

I am trying to have two guestures on a SpriteVisualElement which I thought should be pretty simple implemented: Mouse_Move for sweep Gestures and mouse click to enable.. So I have 2 Eventlisteners on my stage:
[Code]...
The main problem is that every type of sweeping on the screen also fires the taphandler().. how to identify the correct event? I tried to to my taphandler only if(!event.buttondown) but no success.

I'm getting an unusual behavior that I can't seem to get to the bottom of. When I run this, if I move in the swf area it traces normally on mouse move. To be expected.
But it's tracing for the move event when I click anywhere on screen. If I click and drag, it traces as if I were moving in the swf area of the browser.
Here's the code. I've simplified to it's barebones. Just put this in in an empty AS3 project in Flex called "Engine" - sans quotes obviously.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[SWF(width='640', height='360', backgroundColor='#888888', frameRate='31')]
[code]....
As a workaround I've add the MOUSE_MOVE one MOUSE_OVER and remove it on MOUSE_OUT. But the behavior still seems quite unusual and I'd be interest in understanding why it's happening.how I can keep the events constrained to the actual stage of the application?

Ok I have this 100% width/height Flash embedded and when the user moves the mouse I want to display a panel, which disappears after x seconds if there is no more mouse movement.
I think I need an addEventListener, but I am not sure MOUSE_MOVE is the correct one. When the mouse stops moving I need to start x seconds to hide the panel, so I think with a timer?

I have a button and I'd like to have the user right click on the button and then display the menu that will allow them to copy the highlighted text, but I'm getting the infamous 1119: Access of possibly undefined property RIGHT_CLICK through a reference with static type class. What am I doing wrong?

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

Overview: I'm creating a menu where buttons have a sub-menu that pops-up when you hover over the main buttons. The menu will eventually be populated by scanning labels in the timeline, and that seems to be working fine so far. Everything works good enough except you can't move your mouse up and down a popped-up sub-menu without the mouse_out function triggering. The mouse_out listener seems to be applied to all individual sub-buttons when I'd like it to apply only to the parent MC container of each sub-menu.
Is there a problem with the way I'm assigning sub-buttons to container MC's ? I've explored using an array to store the MC's as well, but still had the same listener issue. Could someone look at my FLA? If you do a find for "PROBLEM", that is a good place to start.

Taking my first steps coding in AS3. So I have my main class which extends sprite and I put new mc's on top of that. Using addEventListener on any child MC's with MouseEvent.CLICK works fine, but I can't add it to the main sprite. How can I register all clicks on the screen?

but I am unable to get any AS3 code to work as a Mouse.Click to play the series of keyframes. Every time I try to add a gotoAndPlay to the play_btn my file just starts a continuous loop.

I have 2 buttons that i made an up arrow and a down arrow. I would like them to move an image up or down on mouse click. Although i made the button rollover actions previously and i got the script below from researching online. Now I am not sure if i should even bother with it. I thought if i could get the actionscript to recognize the buttons and tell it what to move the (the ad) I could get them to work. But haven't figured out how to do that and if i have to make custom buttons for this. see what i have below thus far.

I am currently working on putting together a small game map, a map where a character can walk around and talk to NPC's and such. We've just started to I am pretty much just working with the basics here. Just started learning AS3 too. I have created an Object, in this case a circle that gets drawn when I run my AS code, the circle is drawn in the midde of my stage. What I want, since the game is Isometric and moves in those isometric lines rather than straight up, down, left, right, I want to make a funktion where, if the mouse is clicked at a location where both the X and Y coordinate is less than where the object is, then the object moves to that place.
The code I have, is as follows at the moment:
ActionScript Code:
var xNewPos:int;
var yNewPos:int;
var inTransit:Boolean = false;

I have a button with a MouseEvent.CLICK listener. The CLICK event is being triggered when the button is pushed, mouse is down while rolled out, then released when rolled in on the button again. I do not want this to happen, the click event should not occur when the button is being dragged.
My flash file contains a large amount of buttons and click listeners, I would like to solve this problem with as little code as possible. What is the simplest solution to this problem?

I put together this button for statement. Now if I put
ActionScript Code:
for (var m:int = 0; m<btnArray.length; m++){
btnArray[m].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickBtn);
function clickBtn(e:MouseEvent):void {
[Code].....
not sure what to do, it compiles correctly no errors given when buttons are clicked, it just doesn't let me do anything w/ the "pressedBtn" variable outtside of the for loop that it's in.

What's the correct way to track mouse position, from Adobe Flash, when someone has: Started a drag within the Flash application (a MOUSE_DOWN event), Dragged the mouse outside the app or even the browser window (a MOUSE_MOVE event), and Released the mouse button (a MOUSE_UP event)? For example (imagine Stack Overflow is a Flash application):
Within the app, I'm able to track the mouse X and Y positions with a MOUSE_MOVE event listener, but I lose it when it goes outside of the browser... So, how do I track the position of the mouse no matter where it goes? For a good example, try Google Finance. Try dragging the chart around; it'll still drag around if you move your mouse out of the browser window, and the mouse will be outside of the browser when you release it.
Also, check out KOKO KAKA; If you click on the scrollbar (make the browser window really small) and move outside of the browser window, the scroll bar moves just like a real one would. I believe both only work because the MOUSE_DOWN event "captures" the mouse, allowing the Flash application to track the position of the mouse even when it is outside of the browser.
