I have more than one Event Listener that calls a specific function, and I want to add if statements to check what event is being passed. How can I do that?I tried a simple comparison like:
if(evt == MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER)
But it will give an error because I comparing a MouseEvent object and a String.
I'm trying to see if a specific date has passed but it's not working.Here's my code so far:
ActionScript Code:
var currDate:Date = new Date();
checkIfDateHasPassed = function(y, m, d){
[code].....
If (playhead has played frame 15) then ------------ I need the script for this
gotoandplay (10)
or else
gotoandplay (20)
I'm trying to see if a specific date has passed but it's not working.
Here's my PHP Code:
var currDate:Date = new Date();
checkIfDateHasPassed = function(y, m, d){
var myDate:Date = new Date(y, m, d);
if(myDate > currDate){
trace("still to come");
} else {
trace("has passed");
}}// since month starts in Zero, July will be 6 instead 7
// I'm trying to use yesterday, but its not working...checkIfDateHasPassed(2011, 6, 10);
I'm using the SQLRunner class made by Paul Robertson and I need a way to determine when an executeModify batch has finished executing so I can safely move on to the next step and work with the data.
the function can be called with a resultHandler and progressHandler function when it's called, but I am getting a complete event with every query in the batch. I put `if (completedCount == totalCount)` in my progress handler, but it never gets called.
Most of the info is covered in these classes in the sqlrunner package..

View 2 RepliesI am receiving xml from a webservice call that contains a nil="true":[code]I used the Flex DataService (webservice) wizard to create the service objects for the cacheEntry component. This object will be serialized later on a different webservice call and stored in a database.I set a breakpoint on the set SystemFK method in the service object. It appears that the value passed in was an empty string!Allowing this value to be an empty string will cause problems in the webservice implementation in Java on the other side. Since the database value was null it is expecting a null in return, If I avoid setting this value, the serviceObject should send back a null which will make the database happy.How can I detect that a nil = true is present in the XML in order to avoid setting this value?

I'm writing the flow for some navigation functions. There are a lot of tweens involved, so I'm grabbing the onComplete events from them. But I often find I'm referencing a tiny statement that I've had to wrap in a function, like this:
Code:
mc.addEventListener(SOMEEVENT, tinyfunction);
function tinyfunction(e:SOMEEVENT):void
{
mc.visible.false;
}
It seems messy to me. Is there some way to plug simple statements like that right into a listener (rather than a function call)?
ActionScript Code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

View 2 RepliesI have a an swf, called 'controls' that I created with flash cs4. I upload the controls.swf to my web server. I create an application in flex and it loads the external swf controls into itself. So far I can manipulate the controls.swf via my flex app. I created a class in my external swf, but I need to add some onResize event/check to my scroll bar. For example, if my scrollbar size increases/decreases, I want it to change variable values. Is there some movieClip.onResize event?
View 3 RepliesIs there a way how to check if UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA event was not dispatched after COMPLETE in Flash?
I'm working on file uploader. It uploads file after file - after COMPLETE next file starts uploading - this is repeated for every file. On last file on COMPLETE if there is no next file allCompleteHandler is dispatched and if some errors occurs it shows that errors at once trough javascript to the user.
I handle that errors in javascript - it stores every error to variable in javascript and after all completed it shows that errors.

I'm using greensocks MP3Loader to play IntroMp3. I want to dispatch a custom event when the value of the MP3Loader.soundTime property is 3 (3seconds). I've done it with an enter frame event. the problem is that it dispatches the event more then one time. what is the better way to check that the MP3Loader.soundTime property is == to 3 and dispatch my event only one time?

IntroMp3.playSound();
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
function myFunction(event:Event) {

If they get a question wrong in my quiz ( weakest link) the money clip goes to zero and it goes onto the next question. If they get it right the money clip advances and they go onto the next question. I want to include each time that it should only go onto the next question if all questions have been asked. SO i want an extra if clause in both sections, saying if current question is more than 11 go to '#game over"The questions are saved in the frame of the quiz
_root.qArray = new Array("question: A;B;C;D")

i just wanted to know if it is possible to check in mouse event whether the object is grabbed or not in Action Script.

I am trying to create an event listener to check that a function has completed before the next action is run. In simple terms I have a module that is opened and closed via two functions... module_open() and module_close().Each function has tween elements that must complete before the next element is processed... i.e the next function, etc.This is the code I have ( have attempted to create an event listener but I seem doing something wrong. I am not even sure that it is possible to create an event listener that checks for a function finishing before calling the next function.
Code:
function onAbout(event:Event):void {
module_close()
module_close.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onClose_Complete);

View 3 RepliesIs their a way to check if an event listener already exists to remove it? stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickdownfunction); Basically, I want to remove the listener, but sometimes it has already been removed, so I want to check if it exists and if it does, then remove it.
View 4 Repliesi'm trying to check if a movieclip has an event listener with a sepecific function bound to it. The hasEventListener function only accepts one parameter (the listener). What i would need would be an hasEventListener that accepts a second parameter, namely the function that is bound to it.
Code:
if (!mc.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER) {
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
}
but what i would need is:
Code:
if (!mc.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler) {
mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
}
because i bind more than one ROLL_OVER listeners to that mc.
How can I check if the stage contains a movieclip on a specific x and y location on the stage?I'm building a colour-guessing game. The purpose is to walk a path through a generated field of hexagons, each assigned a random colour (yellow, red, blue or green), based on what soundfile you hear. So if you hear "yellow", you have to click a yellow tile etc.But because I want it to be a path, and the colours of the tiles are randomly generated, I have to check which colours border the currently active tile. I literally have no idea how to do this. I thought this might work but it doesnt:
if ((this.tile.y == (event.currentTarget.y - 64)) != null) {
//add the colour of this tile to array
}

How to check type of event.target in "if" statement?
See [URL] Now there is a button called Answera, which when clicked should have a symbol (movie clip) called Check appear at the cordinated specified. Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?
View 7 RepliesThe following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?
