Actionscript 3 :: Add And Remove EventListeners With Dynamic Name And Dynamic Variables?

Jan 14, 2010

picture: [URL].. I am making a boardgame in flash Action Script 3 each position on the board is a buttons like this: button_1_1, button_1_2 etc. Whenever a character is selected you want to move it so the script has to add event listeners for positions around the selected unit

[Code]...

In the rest of the code I have:

function userClickedPosition(position_x:int, position_y:int) it selects or deselect a unit function selectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int):it uses the listentoButton(1) function to add 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)function deselectUnit(position_x:int, position_y:int): it uses the listentoButton(0) function to delete 8 listeners (the positions around the clicked unit)

My question: adding eventlisteners is no problem but removing them dont seem to work? What did I do wrong?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Dynamic Mc And Eventlisteners

I am creating a small image gallery and I am creating the actual images dynamically. The images are stored via json and I am listing them underneath each other. No I can get all to work and they all load and position each other correctly underneath. What I would like to do is assign each image a addEventListener so that when clicked they pass the necessary details onto another function which will then display a larger image simple and basic but I am having trouble with adding the eventlistener. each one gets an eventlistener to it but when clicking on each one they all show the details from the last one. The code is attached to the main gallery container is as follows:

ActionScript 3.0 :: Attach Eventlisteners To Dynamic Movieclips And Pass A Variable?

Dec 8, 2008

I have a mc (changeColorMc) and three movieclips. The three movieclips are created on the fly (so there could be more movieclips) and filled with a color from an Array. This works fine.

Now I want to add an eventlistener for each movieclip, so when someone push one of the movieclips the movieclip with the name "changeColorMc" gets that same color from the colorArray.

My question is: How can I pass the color value from the colorArray to the buttonPressed function? Is this possible?

I was also thinking that I had to create three buttonPressed functions ie. buttonPressed1, buttonPressed2 and buttonPressed3 and attach these to the created movieclips.. but how? Because I don't know up front how many movieclips there will be..

ActionScript 2.0 :: Necessary To Remove EventListeners?

Mar 6, 2009

Let's say I have a global SoundChannel object, and inside a function I am repeatedly creating new instances of the Sound object to play songs one after the other. Each time I do this, I need to add a new eventListener to the SoundChannel to call the function 'onSoundComplete' that will load the next song on completion.Coming from a strict C++ programming background, I often wonder if it's necessary to do some kind of cleanup in Flash, or if it handles it automagically.Here's example code that specifically removes the eventListener from the previous Sound object everytime a new one is created, but I don't want to be doing this if it isn't necessary:

Code:
// Setup sound object buffer
var slc:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(3000);

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Remove The Eventlisteners

I have images loading from an array. A slideshow. This works fine, but they pile on top of each other. I cannot figure out how to remove them. what's the simplest way to remove them? How do I say - if pic1 is loaded, before loading pic2, remove pic1?

Code:

var aPics:Array=new Array("pic1.jpg","pic2.jpg","pic3.jpg","pic4.jpg","pic5.jpg");
var threeSeconds:Timer=new Timer(3000,aPics.length);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove EventListeners In A MovieClip From Stage?

Jul 17, 2011

I have a problem. I have a MovieClip that has a script. The MovieClip has an object inside of it. The script is for when I press the left and right arrow keys, the objects inside the MovieClip change. This MovieClip is placed on the stage.

I have a button on the stage, when its pressed, the MovieClip mentioned above is removed.

Once its remove, I press the left and right arrow keys and I revive errors in the output saying; the eventlisteners are still there but the objects gone, error.

I am wondering how I can either remove the event listeners in a MovieClip from the stage and/or how to acess variables and EventListners in a MovieClip from the stage.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove An EventListeners After A Button Has Been Pressed?

Oct 13, 2010

I'm trying to remove an EventListener after I click on a button. The thing is that I have the AS calling a movieclip, which is calling a box to appear on the stage. The code that I have works, but if you keep clicking on that same button more than once more boxes keep appearing one on top of the other one, so what i need is to remove the listener when you click on the button ones, but if i click on a different button to activate the listener again so that i can click on that same button again and make the box appear. so here's what i got so far:

function Main() {
// Adding mouse event to our stage!
b1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, AddBox);
}

function(e:MouseEvent,obj:Object):void{
e.removeEventListener(....);
trace(obj);
}
.. sommint like that .. as3 says function is static, missing argument etc .. there may be other ways about it - but it is crucial to my setup, as when the EL is added, the object passed is only obtainable at that point.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Remove The Dynamic Movieclips?

Nov 9, 2009

I've created an XML thumbnail gallery, and would dearly love to add a simple looping preloader animation to each of the thumbnails whilst they are still loading. I'm struggling to remove the preloader movieclip, once the corresponding image has been loaded.

I'm currently creating the new movieclips within the loop, so I'm having problems referencing them in the following load complete function. I gave naming the "spin_loader" instances a go (i.e. spin_loader.name = "spin" + i), and then trying to remove it in the "thumbLoaded" function ( i.e. project_mc.removeChild(getChildByName("spin" + spinNum)), where spinNum is the equivalent number to "i"), but I just can't seem to crack it.

Code:

function createThumbs()
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i<my_total_project; i++)

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Remove Dynamic Objects

Nov 25, 2009

So far I have this squid-shaped MC floating and making bubble-shaped MCs which rise to the top of the stage. The bubbles get generated by following the squid's (x,y) cordinates. The whole thing looks convincing enough. The only problem is that as the memory gets full, the bubble animation degenerates, so I want to remove them once they reach the top. I figured I could use a removeChild() function tied to the same EventListner that makes them rise, but once removed it will look for the object again and throw an error. I know I'm missing something simple here, but I can't pin it down.!

Code:
var bubbleTimer:Timer=new Timer(1200);
var i:uint = 0;

ActionScript 2.0 :: MX: Dynamic Duplicate & Remove Of MovieClips

Aug 9, 2005

I have a for-loop that creates instances / duplicates of a movie clip that works like a charm:

[Code]...

Then I position each instance- and I fill an array with the number ("pg"), because: I also have the option to switch to a different view and at that point I want / need the MoveClips to disappear. So I have a function tied to the switching that goes through a loop for all instances of the movieclip copies (using the array with the IDs from the example above) and remove them.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Cannot Remove MovieClip That Has Dynamic TextField

I can't seem to make this clip disappear. I've tried calling it from it's parent object and also tried putting this.removeMovieClip(); inside the clip itself, but it just won't go. I don't have the same problem with other clips in the movie. This is the only one that has a dynamic text field, but I don't see why that would make a dif.

Actionscript 3 :: Remove MC From Dynamic Path Reference With RemoveChild?

Oct 31, 2010

I'm not even sure if the title reflects what I want to do. Here's backstory. I have a movieclip with 5 'holder' movieclips in them. They are my containers for dynamically added movieclips. The parent containers has an instance name of pyramid, the holder instance names are labeled after the 6 food groups, i.e., 'grainholder', 'fruitholder', 'vegetableholder', etc etc...The holders are within the pyramid container, instance names as above, and the pyramid container is added to the display list. I have a addFoodToPyramid() function which adds 'foodMC' mc's to their respective holders. So an [object Apple] will be dynamically added by way of pyramid.fruitholder.addChild(Apple). The function also adds a listener. Heres the call and the function:The call (I will use grains as example) is this:

addFoodToPyramid(grainArray, grainHolder, grainCounter);
And the function is:
function addFoodToPyramid(thisArray:Array, thisHolder:MovieClip, thisCounter:Number):void

ActionScript 3.0 :: Variables And Dynamic Text?

Aug 16, 2010

AS3 newbie here finally trying to make the transition from AS2. I have a little application that I am trying to build which has some basic math in it based on user input. I have the numbers stored in dynamic text boxes and now I need to have the results shown after the user hits submit.

I have this code on the results page frame.

ActionScript Code:
var resultsmin:Number = Math.round((Number(devsize.text))*(Number(typemin.text)));
var resultsmax:Number = Math.round((Number(devsize.text))*(Number(typemax.text)));

This probably wasn't even the best way to do it in AS2 but it worked, now in AS3 it doesn't. Something to do with the way var is used now?
