I'm trying to setup something like Aspect Oriented Programming in Actionscript 3, basically the only thing I need to be able to do is something like this:
SomeClass.getMethod("methodName").addEventListener(afterMethodExecuted, function() {
//run code
});
This way I can run code after (or before) any method in any class has run, allowing numerous new possibilities.
I have a set of Cue Points in an FLV I'm playing. It's an interactive quiz, so the idea is that flash will change a variable, theAnswer, to a different letter depending on which question it is. The answer to question 1 is B, question 2 is D, etc. Either the cue point event listener isn't working, or else it is working and Flash isn't declaring the variables. 1120: Access of undefined property theAnswer. I literally can't find a single problem with my code. I have an almost identical Event Listener further down which works.

Is is possible to attach an EventListener to a function? Such that if at any point in a function's execution an Event is Dispatched the EventHandler will get fired?

I have three functions and I want to play them one by one when each of them completes the tasks inside. How can I add an eventlistener to a function to check if it is finished?So the following is the example:
function generateIdeaBalloons():void { var ideas1:MovieClip = new idea1 (); ideas1.x = 480; ideas1.y = 248; container.addChild(ideas1);
TweenLite.to(container.ideas1, 1, {delay:0.5, x:50, ease:Quart.easeOut});}

View 2 RepliesI want to use tweenlite to tween a navui_mc onto stage when I rollover another mc. Once navui_mc has completed the tween, I want to ad an MOUSE_OUT eventlistener to navui_mc, so that when I mouse off this mc is tweens out.The function call at the end of the tween seems to work as it is tracing that it has completed, but i dont think I can have the eventlistener in a function?

I have a main menu of buttons which alpha is set to 0 when you go to another page. I've made the button-menu fade in again when you return to the page. When you click on a button I want the buttons to disappear again, and I dont want the fade in to continue. This is my code:

i have a problem with trying to remove animated clouds i have created when i enter a new 'scene' or frame.Here is an example of what im trying to say:

import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

Basically i want to get rid of those clouds when i enter a new scene!
Code:
function enableButtons():void
{
for (var i:uint=0; i<40; i++)

I have 40 buttons on the stage. Their names are contained in the Array musicGrid. What I'm trying to do with this code is attach an EventListener to each button so that it will call the function mgMouseBehavior with a parameter to identify the button. For example, I want the button at musicGrid[0] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(0). I want the button at musicGrid[32] to call the function mgMouseBehavior(32), and so on.
However, if you try to add parameters to mgMouseBehavior in the addEventListener, for example:
Code:
musicGrid[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mgMouseBehavior(i));
Then you get Error 2007: Parameter listener must be non-null. How would I accomplish what I'm trying to do?
I'm trying to execute a fucntion by calling it through an event listener I can't call it directly seems to be out of scope or un intialized or something. I've had luck calling variables in this manner but have never tried to call a function. Can I do it through the event?
PHP Code:
e.currentTarget.parent.timer.timekeeper.stopTicking();
I am trying to make a subclass of flash.display.Loader, which should do something when the loader completes loading the content. So I do addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete) on my loader subclass. But this Eventlistener is never called. Is this supposed to happen? Can't I use an Eventlistener on the class that dispatches the event? My code looks like this: public class MyLoader

how to pass parameter to eventListener function.[code]
View 1 RepliesI am trying to to attach a function with parameters to the timer but it says "unrelated type function" is there any way to get around this??
code example:

redoTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, saySomething("helloo"));
redoTimer.start();
this wont seem to work but is there a way to pass on arguments???
I have class ShowCase that inherite from my class ContentMC (that inherite from MovieClip). In the class ShowCase I have an EventListner that calls a function in the parent class ContentMC. But I get an error that says "Access of undefined property restoreMenuItem".
This is my eventlistner in ShowCase.as.
showcaseItem.addEventListener("CONTENTMCCLOSED", restoreMenuItem);
Here I get the error, it doesn't find the function restoreMenuItem.
The function restoreMenuItem is in ContenMC and looks like this.
public function restoreMenuItem(evt:Event):void
{
}
How do I call this function that's in the parent?

I need to call the function onClick before or after the eventListener is enabled. I tried just using onClick(); but I get error 1136: Incorrect number if arguments.
The eventListener is inside a for loop if that matters.

So I've got a function that does several things: It creates video cue points, loads content & executes a function based on those cue points, and finally, sets the eventlistener for the video.
The problem I'm having (after tracing it out) is that the variables within the function seem to be stored as an 'array-like' deal. In other words, the variables output as they should when initially clicked. Next time the code executes, it outputs the newest variable values then IMMEDIATELY the first variable values. This output 'builds' and builds but ultimately the content never dynamically changes as it always ends up loading the first content that was loaded very first time out. I'm *guessing* it has something to do with the event listener being re-instantiated? Tried modifying where I add the listener to no avail.
Any thoughts?
Code:
function vidPlay(vidName) {
swfText.gotoAndStop(1); // mc1 to load external data & play a function
swfText._alpha = 100;
[Code]....
I still haven't been able to figure this one out. My best guess is something to do with the eventlistener being re-instatiated each time the function is called, but I'm not sure. Again, it seems to either be 'storing' the variables in a backwards array somehow (first variable is stored and accessed last at all times) or maybe somehow it's creating multiple instances of the eventlistener and the variables are being pulled from the first iteration of it.
I want to call the same event handler function with a click and also with a custom event. the problem is the event type that needs to be passed to the function. Is there are generic event type that can be used to call the function from both places?
Code:
menuBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuOpen );
function menuOpen(event:MouseEvent){

Is there a funcion or eventlistener to check if an animation got to its final layer? Like, I have 3 movieclips: stance, precharge and charge. When I press a key, stance changes to precharge, but I need precharge to change to charge when its animation changes. I don't want precharge to loop and return to the beginning.
View 4 RepliesThis has to be simple, if only I knew how. I'm an AS3 newbie, and am having difficulty setting up multiple specific EventListeners within a code generated display object container.
I am generating a 'page' (Sprite) with a heap of 'cards' (Sprites) on it. Each of those cards, in turn, contains a selection of text boxes and other objects generated from database output using a 'for' loop. My hope is to attach an EventListener to each 'card' so that a MouseEvent will let me manipulate the data that lead to the content of that actual card (the i-th iteration of my for loop). I've been playing with everything I can think of (limited repertoire of thoughts though) and the best I've managed is for my EventListener to access the final set of data, whichever 'card' I click on. I've summarised and attached my code for the function, how to get back to the i-set of data from the EventListener attached to the i-th card. I can handle the PHP and MySQL side of things but am fumbling my way into the OOP of AS3.
i have couple of videos that i want to play in succession. my theory on how to do this was to add an event listener that would call function to change the source of the FLVPlayback component and play once the initial video finished playing. The problem is that i don't know what parameters to pass to the eventlistener and the acting function. I just need someone to fill in the blanks to the following code
