Actionscript 3 :: Why Don't MOUSE_MOVE Events Get Sent When The Middle Mouse Button Is Pressed
Mar 8, 2012
I'm listening for MOUSE_MOVE events.They are sent and received just fine unless the middle mouse button is held down. I don't get any more MOUSE_MOVE events until the middle button is released.Is this an issue with Flash, or something to do with my specific ouse/computer configuration (bluetooth Mighty Mouse on Lion)?Are there any known workarounds?Here is a sample project to demonstrate the problem.Left click and drag traces mouse move events, but middle click only shows middle mouse down and middle mouse up.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
this.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MIDDLE_MOUSE_DOWN, onMiddleMouseDown);
this.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseDown);
[code]....

my interface consists of two graphical moviclips: A and B (B is a palette that contains several movieclips). it should work like this:
- click mc A to show mc B (initially hidden).
- while the mouse is still pressed, hover over the various mc:s of mc B. keep track of the mc:s i have hovered over in an array.
- when the mouse button is released, hide mc B.
so... i need to generate somekind of event (like onRollOver) while my mousebutton is pressed. however onRollOver is not fired when the mousebutton is pressed.

I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on. make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?
Code:
randommultiquiz.onPress = randommultiquizOnPress;
function randommultiquizOnPress() {
_root.attachMovie("connect", "newconnect", 200);
newconnect._x = 0;

I'm programatically dragging the play head back and forth along a timeline based on a mouse event listener. The faster the mouse drags the faster the playhead rips through the frames (it's linearly proportional). I'm also firing a starter=getTimer(); event at the inital mouse_move Event trigger (and only on the initial event) and then firing a ender=getTimer() at the end of the code that calculates the new playhead position, but only if the calculation has resulted in the playhead being told to move at least one frame (the mouse can move a few pixels before playhead will move one frame). In essence it's giving me a frame per second rate.
If I look a the delta of the two timers I rarely get anything but 0. Occasionally I'll get a 1 but not very often. There are a good few dozen heavy lines of code that need to be worked out between the initial mouse_move and the decision to move the play head, and this has to be done for a number of mouse position changes before the playhead will move at all and the second getTimer call is triggered. Does the mouseEvent trigger every ms or does it trigger at the frame rate (enterframe rate) of the doc. If so the smallest delta I should see is 31ms.
This runs as an app in the standalone swf player (10.1) and never in a browser.
Are my results indicative of this? Can the compiler really run this fast? How does one do very small timing tests that appear to be beyond the millisecond clock granularity?

I have a module, which is a simple swf file to load.
Inside there, in a modules document class I have a code like:
ActionScript Code:
buttonMode = true;
useHandCursor = true;
[Code]....
When I load the module, I can see the drawn background with proper sizes. However, the cursor is not hand (useHandCursor) and mouse events are not dispatched. They are only dispatched on some children of the document class, not on itself, on its own background. ANd the hand cursor is only over the children, not over the document class' background itself again.
The document class of the module extends Sprite.

I have a flash element on my page that you interact with by using the middle mouse scroll wheel. The page is long. So when scrolling with the mouse wheel it interacts with the Flash element AND scrolls the browser window.
Is there a way to disable browser scrolling while the Flash element is active?

I can't figure out, the Keyboard Input won't work until Mouse Button is pressed. Here's the code to the class I'm having trouble with. If anyone can see what's causing the trouble that would be great.

import flash.display.Sprite;

I'm not sure why it says that when I export the movie. I read that it may be because the actionscripts in the keyframe and not in the move, though that isnt the case here. Below is the code for my button.
on (release) {
getURL("JavaScript:liveChat();");
}

I was following a tutorial off a site to build my title menu. I followed everything to the T and the ActionScript 2.0 is giving me 2 of the same errors Mouse events are permitted only for button instances, on 2 of my layers. below is the action script2 code
1. invisible button layer
on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (1); }
2. ECHOTRAK BUTTON
stop (); on (rollOver) { gotoAndStop (2); }
my question is how do i make my button for my drop down menu work. an instance is a label correct if so were does it exist in this code. I believe its telling me I'm missing my frame labels to be included somewhere in this code the site i used was on this site

I created a dropdown menu from a tutotial I found on the net but when I place it inside a scene so that I can use it has errors which were not there when I tested the movie clip. It keeps going mouse events are permitted for button instances only. This is the same clip that I can't link my scenes to.

I have a function on root:
_root.fadeBox_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (fade){
this.nextFrame();[code]....
This causes a mc to fade in and out on rollover/rollout. But what I wanna make is a box that fades in when pressed on the button and fade out when pressed for the second time. But if I say
on (press){
_root.fade = true;
}
the mc fades in, but I cant do another on (press) to fade out. Is this too confusing?

I have a few swf's that are loaded into a base file using levels. These clips can be cycled through by means of a setInterval function or when the user clicks the next or previous button. However, when the user hovers over a defined 'hit' area which is ultimately a blank movie clip, the setTimeout call is then canceled. This works fine, except that now the 'hit' clip - being above everything - prevents the movies below accepting hit states, and if I move it to below everything else, when one mouses over any element in the loaded movie, it then acts as though the user has mouse out of the hit area.
Is there any way to have this 'hit' clip do its job simply by determining if the mouse is over it, but without using an onRollOver function or equivalent?

I have a display object that is set to mask another display object. I add a mouseEvent listener to the mask to listen to mouse events. It does not receive the mouseEvent unless I set its buttonMode property to true.
If the display object is not a mask, it receives mouseEvents with its buttonMode set to false.
Here is some fast example code. On the stage I have a circle that masks a square. if buttonMode of the mask is set to false, it won't receive mouseEvents.
Code:
circle.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
square.mask = circle;
//if I set buttonMode = false, the mask (circle) won't respond to clicks.
circle.buttonMode = true;

I created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed);
function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"scene");
}

if I attach two movie clips MC1 and MC2 on the stage.MC1 has a simple button also. MC2 is transparent.First I attach the MC1 and then I attach MC2. Both on the stage. So obviously, MC2 is added over the MC1. In this situation, I cannot click the button which is place in the MC1.If Im not wrong, in AS2, if the MC2 is transparent, the button in the MC1 can still respond to the mouse events.

I have a button that is called to the stage using AS. When the user releases that button, a global variable is populated and the pageShell movie clip is removed and re-attached using the new variable info. When I run the movie, I get the following in the output panel: **Error** Mouse events are permitted only for button instances on (release:<name>){ I'm not sure why this is happening because the symbol being used (<idname>) is a button.

I have an external swf I created, I used the Document Class to place assetts from the library onto the stage. I have a few Movie Clips I set the buttonMode to true on and added a few MouseEvents for when they're clicked on or rolled over to load content and make a few draggable.
It works perfectly in that swf, but since most of my assets are in the library and exported on Frame 1 I can't really use an internal preloader on it. So what I did was create an external swf that all it is is a loader that I add to the stage that loads the first swf I created.
That works perfectly for getting it on the stage, but the Movie Clips no longer are recognized as buttons and the mouse events aren't working anymore.
Is there anything I can do to change this?
Here is the code I'm using to load the external swf:
Code:
var a:URLRequest = new URLRequest("timeline2.swf");
var b:Loader = new Loader();
b.load(a);

Right now all the sounds (78 of them) on my guitar play using the roll_over event but that doesn't give the user much control over what sound is played.
The actionscript im using to play my sounds is this;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++){
buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonRolledOver);
}
[Code]....
What i want to do is only play a sound with the roll_over event when the left click is held down.

In AS2 I did this:
ActionScript Code:
ContactVerDoor.onRelease = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT)) {
//Do something
}
}
I now need to code it in AS3.Can I still check if a key is down without listening for the keypress events? I understand how to code the Mouseclick in AS3.

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.

I have an animation that I want to start when clicking on the flash window. However, I've also have some buttons on the stage. If I add an event listener for MouseEvent.CLICK on the stage, then it 'eats up' the events and the buttons don't work.
I've tried some tricks, by adding some invisible buttons on top of the real ones, and use the MOUSE_OVER event to selectively enable/disable the mouseEnabled flag for the stage, but didn't work because it complains that the property or method doesn't exist (which I find odd).
