If I have an object that calls
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, update);
will that add 2 listeners?
My problem is that when I click the letter movieclip it does create the duplicate as it should and it starts to drag the duplicate mc. However, when I release the clip it doesn't stop dragging? I realized that if I put onMouseUP event instead of onRelease it actually does stop dragging when I release the mouse. I would, however not like to use the onMouseUP event if possible.

a problem I'm having with passing some validation in a form im creating.For the sake of getting to the point, I have two Textfields in my form lets say email_txt and friendsEmail_txt. What I would like to do is validate the two fields to make sure the user does not put the same email address in both fields.Im sure I need to do this via a function but I'm lost as to how to go about it. I googled for about an hour and perhaps im not qeurying it properly as I could not find any answers - Im sure there is one.

View 4 RepliesIs there any harm in registering an object with the same event and handler multiple times, without first removing the listener? It appears that Flash either overwrites the event subscription or ignores duplicates. What I'm trying to avoid is having to use if/else and boolean variables to make sure duplicate event subscriptions don't occur.
I've attached a sample fla... which I'm aware looks useless, though it illustrates my point. It loops through the timeline a few time and makes the addEventListener call a few times. Clicking on the button only calls the handler once, despite the multiple assignments. So it appears to be safe and Flash doesn't throw an error, I just wanted to know if there's some sort of garbage-collection-like issue
I am having problems dupliating a movie clip. I can make a duplicate from an original but when I edit the duplicate it also modifies what is in the original. (I am just changing the text, thats the only difference between the 2) How come it effects both clips when I only change one?
View 6 RepliesI have a movieclip that when clicked returns a [object MovieClip]

I am trying to get up to speed on AS3.
I am trying to dynamically create a number of click buttons based on the content of an XML file.
So I have a MC (window_mc) which contains a single button (more_details_btn). I add an event listener to send the user to a web page on click.
However. On some items I need more than 1 more_details_btn's. What is the best way to duplicate this MC and assign a new click event and different text.
Below is the code I am currently using and it is causing me all sorts of problems
Code:
for each(var detail:XML in productXML.details) {
var btn = new more_btn_cls();
btn.label_txt.text = detail.@name;
[code]...
Firstly, it wont assign btn.label.text - it says it "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" btn in this code traces as an object not a movieclip is that why?
The other problem is that window_mc.addChild(btn); does nothing, yet if I take away window_mc it does add the clips to the Stage. (I need them inside window_mc though)

I have ItemRenderers that need to listen for events. When they hear an event (and when data changes), they dispatch an event with their current data value. As item renderers are reused, each of them is going to add its callback in set data(value...)and pass the callback function in the event as well as the current data value. So, the listener of the item renderer's bubbling event will set someEventDispatcher.addEventListener("someEvent", itemRendererEvent.callbackListener). This will happen more than once. Does setting the same event listener on the same event for the same dispatcher waste resources? Does the displatcher see that it already has the listener?

I have the details in my flash and swf file, but I'll explain what's happening. If you click on the green "i", it opens a window, you can drag the window by the top bar next to the exit and minimize. But unfortunately, if you close this window and open other (duplicate of MC), you can not move the window like you can on the original. My guess is that the AS does not carry onto the duplicate; I am stuck right here, if I can get this fixed, it will fix a lot of my other animations. I've been trying to search for this on Kirupa, but there are no results
Code:
on (press) {
bn = "window" add n;

I'd like to simply scale down a movieclip (that I'm treating as a button) when the user presses their mouse button. When users release the mouse button, I want my button to scale back to it's normal (.scaleX = .scaleY = 1) size. My button also has listereners for a ROLL_OUT event to turn off (.alpha = 0) a highlight movieclip that rests atop movieclips showing the different states the button can be in.
When I roll over the button, the higlight comes, but there is an annoying flicker problem. For some odd reason, when I press the mouse button the ROLL_OUT event handler function is called, yet I didn't scale the movie down enough for the cursor to be off of the actual button itself. I do not want that flicker. I'm not sure why ROLL_OUT is being called even though the event is clearly a mouse down, and within the mouse down event handler I am scaling the button movie clip, but not enough to remove out from under the cursor. In other words, if I click the button at its registration point, a flicker appears.
Here's my code.
//this add all the appropriate listeners to the button private function addMouseListeners() { this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, mouseOver); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDown); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, rollOut); this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUp); }
[code]....
why my rollOut function is being called when the mouse button is pressed, and called once more when the mouse button is released.
