Actionscript 3 :: Recover An Object Who Fires An EventListener Event?
Mar 19, 2012
How can I access to an object who fires an eventListener event?
Let's say I have a mc:
var element = new MovieClip();
which has an eventlistener:
element.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, elementEventHandler);
[Code]....
So that is what I want to achieve... Recover the object who fired the event and then do crazy things with it (in this example, add another object in it).
pd: yes, I know I can directly use the var element in this snippet, but in the real code I'm generating the mcs in a loop, according to a xml file.
It doesn't work because "updateNumCsrLoaded" is firing 6 times (twice per image) instead of 3. I could just change the if statement to "if (numCsrLoaded == 6)" but this is not
I'm looking for a way to add an EventListener which will automatically removes itself after the first time it fires, but I can't figure a way of doing this the way I want to.[code]
Tracing the keyCode for the 'a' key (65) only works once for KEY_DOWN events and sometimes KEY_UP behaves in the same way, making development a pain when trying to do things quickly.
Clicking on the stage makes it start working, but why is it just the 'a' key that is affected?

The issue can be reproduced every time with this code:
I have a block of code that I want to execute directly after a url is known to be valid. What I mean by 'valid' is that the program has checked to see if that filepath actually exists. This could be accomplished by a COMPLETE listener, because after all, a loader couldn't finish loading its content if the referenced file didn't exist, but I want it to happen before any of the bytes begin to get sucked in. I have also tried the HTTPS_STATUS event, with a conditional saying "if the status is this [some non-error status number], then run this block of code." This would have worked great, except that different environments produce different network codes, and some even can't distinguish between errors and non-errors, just returning 0's no matter what. Because of this, I can't write a conditional that works no matter what browser....
I have created a player that loads video FLV files and plays them in a sequence. On loading the videos I retrieve the total video time by stream.client.onMetaData = ns_onMetaData;" and in an EnterFrame event I check whether the video playtime is equal the totaltime. If the video playtime is equal to the totaltime then the player loads the next video. Sometime, even if the video ends, the playtime and total time doesn't match. So to fix the issue, I decided to put an event cue point (END) at end of each video FLV. So whenever the FLV fires the END event, the player removes the current video and loads the next one.
Suppose the video total time is 44:00. The cue point is also at 44:00 in the FLV. So whenever the player gets the END event from the FLV then it loads the next one. Now the issue is, if I pause the video at 42:00 and wait for 2 sec, the player gets the END cue point and jumps to the next video. When I paused the video the timer says "42:00 of 44:00". The timer doesn't increase, that means the video has actually paused. But I still don't understand that why I'm getting the END cue point where the video has not reached the time.
When executing dataprovider.refresh() for a chart component it redraws the chart. How do I determine when the chart is redrawn? I would like to take a png screen shot of the chart when it is fully drawn.
Variable called "switch" has a boolean value of "false".Event.ENTER_FRAME event listener method fires, and calls method "onEnter()".Within the "onEnter()" method, the "switch" variable is set to boolean "true".My question: What is the best way to make sure "switch" variable is called, and set, only once during the ENTER_FRAME event?
Is it as simple as checking if "switch" is false, and then setting it to true... Does it matter that I would be doing the if() for every frame of the Event.ENTER_FRAME?
I have a Loader class which I'm using to load an image:
Code: var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest('https://some website path to .png'); var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, error); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);

The code above works when I run it from FlashDevelop but fails when it runs from a website. The domain is protected by a crossdomain file which allows the website I'm calling it from. I've tried other https requests to the same domain using URLLoader and those work fine. This code never calls Event.COMPLETE or IO_ERROR and no alert error comes up.
With the KEY_DOWN event handler, if the user holds the key down it fires the event constantly. I want to create a KEY_DOWN event which only fires once on the initial key press, even if the user holds the key down.
I have an array of loaders loading .jpgs. After the Event.COMPLETE fires, I trace the content at the current page and it tells me the content is null, BUT on testing the images appear just fine. Here's my code:
It seems to be the case that the MOTION_FINISH event fires of prematurely in the Flash Tween class. I've heard that it is not the best tween engine to use, but this seems like a particularly egregious. I am using "Strong.easeOut" for the motion. What are some alternative tween engines that people like?
I added a click event to the stage but this event also fires when i'm clicking a movieclip on the stage.How can i make this event fire only if i click directly on the stage?
The title describes the problem: Loader.load() is firing the INIT event, but in my listener it's reporting loader.content as null. The description for INIT event is "Dispatched by the associated LoaderInfo object when the properties and methods of the loaded SWF file are accessible."I'm loading a lot of JPG images, and 95 percent of the time it works fine; the init listener fires and reports valid loader. content.I absolutely need loader.content available because I need to set the bitmap smoothing property to true.I've tried using Event.COMPLETE and it has the exact same problematic behavior.
I am trying to extract the last part (after the last .) of what trace(evtObj.target) shows, but when i try to use the code bellow to do it i get some of the info i get for the traces EventOb=_level0.RightSide.instance435.Ath (or whatever it is that triggered the event) Legth=Undefined
i get Undefined for all the string commands i have tied
example for evtObj.target with _level0.RightSide.instance435.Ath i want to get just Ath
I made a test where I download a file using URLLoader - something like this:
[Code]....
in the middle of the downloading process I physically disconnect the internet connection. the download stalls - but after aproximately 30 seconds downloadSuccessful is invoked, although only half of the data was downloaded. how can I make sure that the data to be downloaded is complete and correct?
I have a tween I am calling in a function and I'd like a scale event to occur once the tween complete.I've never created an event listener dependant on the completion of another actionI'll ultimatley scale cntcnt XandY to the newly created scprop once the TweenLite event completes.
Below is the code which calls the tween. I'd function clktwn(e:MouseEvent):void{ //create vars for x,y cordinates of clicked county (child)
When the escape key is released, I close the deepest child in a tree-like structure, and then tell it's parent (which is now the new 'deepest child') to close when the escape key is released ... but I do that while such an event is triggered, that causes the whole chain to close.
Is there any shortcut way to add an eventListener to something like a select event for NavigatorContent. I am aware I can add a listener for a change event on the ViewStack and identify the selected NavigatorContent through that handler.
I'm new to AS3.0 Is there a good way to deal with many event listeners like say MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER and MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT for the same type of movie clips? I've been getting the following error if the mouse rolled over or out too fast.
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at csAS/onSubmenuRollOver() TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at csAS/onSubmenuRollOut()
In my scrolling code I want to remove the eventListener for my reportStageMouse event, but I get an error: 1120: Access of undefined property reportStageMouse. I am trying to remove the listener in my mouseUpOnStage event. I assume I cant remove the listener because it's in a nested function? [code]
I want to call the same event handler function with a click and also with a custom event. the problem is the event type that needs to be passed to the function. Is there are generic event type that can be used to call the function from both places?
Code: menuBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, menuOpen ); function menuOpen(event:MouseEvent){
Trying to add event listeners to check whether my tiles are being pressed! This works excellent! They respond to the listeners BUT on the mose_down/mouse_up i can�t trace the tile variables The listener functions:
I have a MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL eventlistener setup for a custom scrollbar component that allows the wheel to control the scrolling up or down.Inside the Flash dev environment when I test the flash app it works fine. However, when I test the app inside a web browser ( which has its own vertical scrollbar ) the mouse wheel controls both the scrollbar in my flash app and the scrollbar in the browser.Is there a way to setup the eventlistener on my scrollbar that it prevents the MOUSE_WHEEL event from bubbling up to the browser?
In my Flash program, I am trying to run a function within an object. The object uses a class called "SkullDemon.as." The function I am trying to run is called "moveSkullDemon();" this function is coded within the "SkullDemon.as" class. My main document class is "TME2d_Main.as." Within that file I create an instance of the Skull Demon class like this:
How do you make an EventListener that listens for a object to hit an x value. So if lets say a movie clip hits x value, I want something to happen based on the event. How would you write this?
So I have a MC called "slider" slider has multiple graphics and clips and buttons in it. I have an event handler that tells the "slider" clip to move when you rollover and to move back when you rollout. Problem is that anything you rollover in the parent clip, once rolled off, even thought it is still in the parent clip, it triggers the rollout action.
I am working in air application , i need to know how to add event listener when any object is updated,how can i implement this.Example:i have Class name Vehicle, and child class are Car,Bus,Bikes,Scooter,..etc, child class also have many properties like color,model no,....etc
I have array collection and AddChild() method in Vehicle class by this, i will add, child class to the vehicle class.I need a event listener which can trigger if any of the property is updated or changed in any of the child class property, how can i implements this in Flex3.
