Is 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.
I have a form that is being created at the point the user clicks on. The algorithm is checking to see if a form exists in the same spot- if it doesnt, new object is created, if it does- result is traced. If no objects are on the stage- a new object is added. For some reason in this code- I get no results for the Mouse_Down event on the form itself. Method being called in main timeline:

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
}

Is it possible to check if a movieclip has an event listener on it?
View 2 RepliesI 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);

If I add an event listener, and I re-add it later, does that automatically refresh/renew the listener or do I need to remove it before adding a new one every time?ex:
Code:
function swipeStart(event:MouseEvent):void

I want to add a MOUSE_OUT listener in the first function, then remove it during the second function. I think I coded it properly, but I can't be sure. I tried to test the code by changing the remove event listener (below) to remove the original listener but it didn't work. Typically, I'd just trace the object to see if it's still there, but I don't know how to trace a listener. helpLoader.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OU T, onHelpOver);
IŽd like to know what is the rigth way to remove a loader event listener? Like this?

I'm working on a website navigation wherein I want that on clicking the navigation buttons, a movie clip eases out to that clicked button to show the current page. I'm able to move the movieclip to the button's location but I need to remove the event listener once the movieclip stops over the navigation button.
Code:
import flash.events.Event;
btnStart.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startMovie);
function startMovie(e:Event):void {

I am currently using a mouse move event listener to check the x and y coordinates of the mouse on the stage, but I am wondering how in god's name I can stop this once the function has exited. I am using the even listener inside of a drag and drop function, specifically inside of the drag function, but when I call dragging.stop(), I would also like to remove the event listener.

I am using a component in my application, but it turns out, it's slowing my app down big time b/c it doesnt remove an eventListener on stage for mouse move. Is there a way I can remove this listener? I can't get into the class b/c it's a component and it doesnt have any sort of kill function to call.

The timeline goes to the right frame but stops dead.I was thinking this could be because Flash thinks it should be doing the playout animation at the same time?

I need to remove the Stage Event Listener (stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, thumbUp)) when I switch menu items. How can I call the removeEventListener for the stage from outside the movieclip?
The parent movieclip is called about_mc and when you click away to another page it tweens out. I really just want to about_mc.stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, thumbUp).
Say I create a new timer:
Code:
var seekTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000,5);
seekTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, seekTimerHandler);
seekTimer.start();
Now that will run 5 times. Does it automatically remove its event listener after 5 times?
I am trying to create a simple play, stop, rewind. fforward controller. I have the slideShow and the Control in the same time line. As the enterframe event is nested inside a function it will rewind but then none of the other buttons will work as I am not able to removeEventListener for the enterframe event.
