I like to move textfield 1 when I press left or right arrow keys, but I also want to move textfield 2 when I press space while textfield 1 is moving like...an airplay game (you can shoot a missile while you're moving).
I really like to post my source code...but I actually have no idea where to begin.
the following code moves textfield 1 when I press arrow keys...
my code snippet:
private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
switch(event.keyCode)
{
if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?
In the KeyboardEvent object I get on key-down events, is there a way to know if the event is the first key-down, or a repeat when the key is held down? I want to toggle a setting when a key is pressed; I could listen to key-up but I'd prefer the action is taken as soon as the key is pushed... as long as I can stop it toggling back and forth as the key-down repeat events are generated.
This might be more of a subjective question, but is it generally best practice to have one dedicated method per event-types that you add an event-listener?
Such as:
myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver); myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut); //Somewhere else in the code...
[Code].....
And if you had a MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN and other relevant MouseEvents event-listeners to watch for, you could even set a switch statement to handle all the various MouseEvent types.
In my application, I need to detect a CTRL-C event. I can detect CTRL-K , CTRL-T , CTRL-U, and a bunch of others, but it seems that CTRL-C is reserved ! First it detects the CTRL , but as long as the CTRL button is held down, it totally ignores C when it's pressed. I know that there was a key combination detection script here on kirupa offered by someone (Michael), but it has this problem as well. how I can detect this combination?? Here is the code Im using to test which key is being detected (Note that debug is the variable name of a textfield on the main timeline, because testing key combination events inside of flash sometimes causes problems):
I have, lets say an arrow, it points up when you press w, left when a is pressed, down when s is pressed, and right when d is pressed. This is done through animations, and simple gotoAndStop commands. Anyway, Lets say that I want it to point North-east when I press D+W. whats the easiest way I can use to get it to detect Multiple key-presses. If any more explanation is needed I can easily explain further.
I use OSMF's SWFElement for my project to load SWF file in to main Application but the main app can't detect event from child SWF at all, .CODE in the Main App
mediaPlayerSprite = new MediaPlayerSprite(); var swfElement:SWFElement = new SWFElement();[code]....
CODE in the Child Flash SWF using Flash CS3 add code in The FLASH TimeLine
The change event seems to only throw when using the calendar pop-up. It is not thrown when the user manually types in to the field. I also tried dataChange.
I'm using a keyboard event to detect when a key is pressed. This is what it looks like:
Code: private function keyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent) { switch(event.keyCode) { case Keyboard.CONTROL: ctrlHandle=true;
[Code]...
It's worked up until now. I know that all the keys except the last one work because they carry out their function and the trace on DOWN works. However, for the last one, I've tried W and ALTERNATE (and got errors) and ESCAPE and TAB (both not doing anything, not even returning the trace).
I'm trying to know if mouse of the user is over my video when the status of the netstream video is "start". I don't understand how.
Code: Select allns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStat); function netStat(event:NetStatusEvent):void { switch (event.info.code) { case "NetStream.Play.Start":
Here I would like to detect the mouse position or event. (something like : if mouse over >>>> play with sound >>> else >>> play without sound. break; }}
I am learning how to do a custom event in AS3. I can do an event in a class but I dont know how to detect events in other classes. I want to detect in main.as an event reached in class player. E.g., a variable reached a value 4 in class payer and dispatches an event so main.as can detect it. This doesn't give an error but my code doesnt output I can deect an event in main from classplayer.
Is it possible to detect multiple overlapping movie clips and subsequently telling the user which clips s/he has moused over? Basically, I'd like to have a set of movie clips that are in different shapes overlapping each other (ie, a set of letters...A, B, C), and when the user mouses over a certain area, only A & C would be revealed (if they are being moused-over) but not B. Basic Listener/MouseOver tests seem to only show the top most clip, rather than others below it.
first time here.. want to ask a question which i have been thinking for quite sometime ..
say i have an array be it of any length ..
var Myarray= new array("apple", "pear", "apple","orange", "apple","pear" )
how shld i write a function that will detect and group similar items into each individual unqiue counter,
item "apple" :3 item "pear" : 2 item "orange":1
also does anyone here have resources(books or website) for problem solving for actionscript.. problems like the one on top.. ? I really need to learn to improve in different approaches in solving a scripting problem.
I'm new for flash. I would like to know I need to fire what event which can detect frame animation finish? I need to pass a parameter from swf to flex to inform frame animation finish.
I just want to know if there is any TextChange Event or equivalent to that in AS3? I am currently using Adobe Flash CS3 with my AS3 files and I have to detect whether or not my TextTool's value has changed or not. With my data being integers ranging from -4.440 to 3.560, I obviously cannot use the != operator.
Is there any event to detect internet conectivity in flex or actionscript3.I tried URLMonitor and networkInfo classes,is there any other event to detect because in URLMonitor class I need to add an url to it which is not possible in my case and in networkInfo class,it does not get called every time. My requirement is when the application and suddenly if the connection goes off I need to raise an error.
I'm having problem with garbage collection in a large, not-so-well-written project that I didn't start. I am getting memory leaks -- and want to make sure that all event listeners on the offending objects are removed. I've gone through the code and done what I can, but still ain't happening -- is there a way in AS3 to take an object and see IF it has an event listener, and to REMOVE that listener -- that is, to remove ALL listeners, without knowing what they are? I know if I know what the EVENT TYPE is then I can use hasEventListener() to figure out if it has a listener of that type (although the presupposes I know all the event types being used), but if I don't know the function that it's subscribing to then I can't remove it.
Or is there some other way to simply nullify an object for GC? I've changed all listeners to weak -- but I think (since the offending objects are FLVPlaybacks) that something in the flash internal setup is still listening to my object (I've gleaned this from FB 4 profiler which I've used in external mode). I would just, at this point, like to see what's going on.
I'm working on a game right now where I'm going to have paths dynamically built by the user for multiple AI objects to "walk" along. I'll be detecting/redrawing the path only on user input but I'm still debating over the fastest possible method to update the movement of many AI objects "walking" along/up/down the given path. Think for example of pac man, but the level is dynamic. Right now I'm leaning toward building the enemies in a linked list of final classes and looping through the linked list calling a function in each of the AI objects to plot the next move along the path.
What is the correct event listener to detect a child added to the stage? I tried:
[Code]...
which doesn't work. I also tried ADDED_TO_STAGE but that doesn't fire it either. Do you know the correct way to detect when the child is added? Perhaps I should be attaching the listener to the parent instead?
have one mc called mc1, and when the mouse cursor is over it, mc2 is sent to a certain frame and the _alpha set to 0. The problem I have is that when the user continued with the onPress (pressing the left mouse button) after the cursor goes outside of that mc1, mc2 does not become invisible and what I need is to do that, when the user goes out with the cursor of the mc1, the mc2 becomes invisible even if the left button of the mouse is pressed. And now don't detect the onRollOut if the button of the mouse is pressed.
I have a customized drag event that works great for most things:
[Code]...
The issue is that when I use this code with wmode=transparent or wmode=opaque the MOUSE_LEAVE event is not detected when the MOUSE_UP event occurs off the stage. Is there a way to detect the MOUSE_LEAVE event when wmode is transparent or opaque? OR Is there a way to detect that the wmode is set to transparent or opaque so that a work-around may be implemented?
I am using the following AC3 to call a new frame when a button is down. All my instances are named as listed and I double checked that. All the buttons are on different frames. When I just use one it will work, but when I add the others I get the Output Error: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at final_project_fla::MainTimeline/frame1() It will allow me to move to frame 5 and 6, but not 7 & 8.[code]
I have a problem with event handling. I'm working on a calendar, on which events can be listed. With actionscript i loop through an XML file with the days (and if there, the events for that day). So far so good. Where it goes wrong is this: I only want to display blocks with the day numbers on it. When you click on a day, a box pops up and shows the event's for that day.
This is what i did: created a movieclip with classname mc. loop trough the xml file and for each day create a new instance of mc with the day number as text on it. This al works, but now i want to add an eventhandler for each day. How to do this?
