I want to run some code whenever a DisplayObject is added as a child to a DisplayObjectContainer.Or to put in other words, to catch the addedToStage event of all DisplayObjects, even ones I don't know about.
View 3 RepliesI want to have a main logic class that listens for dispatched events from an assortment of other classes.
for instance: i have a parent Map class that contains X instances of a State class. When the user clicks on a State class, i want to dispatch an event CLICKED along with the name of the state.
now this Logic class will see this new event and process the name of the state and perform some other logic stuff. no matter what i try i can only get it to work where the State class listens for its own Dispatched event. Which to me seems a waste, i could have just manually called the function.
I have read so many tutorials online about custom events/ dispatching and they are being used in a basic one class example.
The Advertisment bar and the Kootenay Swing header have links, that just go nuts when you roll over them. You can still click on them when they work, but the mouse hyperlink icon just flickers. This is bad, because the site is targeted towards people that don't use the internet often, and those links need to tell the people that they are clickable.
View 1 RepliesI've got a problem listening to the event. I've got 3 classes:
Code:
package com.zeeto.swfaddress {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import com.asual.swfaddress.*;
public class SwfAddress extends MovieClip {
private var dispatcher:Dispatch = new Dispatch;
[Code] .....
And... it doesn't work... is there any chance to listen to the EventDispatcher triggered by some other class?
so i have an event listener a mouse click in a movie clip name "em_contact" i also have an event listener after an animation plays out on an object called contactbtn_mc, How do i tell Flash once em_contact is clicked dont listen for that event any more?
my code is below
em_contact.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gotocontactanimation);
function gotocontactanimation(EvntObj:MouseEvent):void {

I am writing a simple Tcp server in Unity and have my Flash application connects to it.I found a great tutorial on threaded Tcp server online, and my flash app connects to it nicely. However, I am not able to send data outside of the listening thread to the connected client. I tried to create a global reference of the Tcpclient obtained inside of the thread. However, that reference (sclient) only works inside of the listening thread, printed Null to console outside of the thread. There must be something I can do to retain the TCP client reference for later use or access it from outside of block thread.

Is there any way to get Flex Builder to connect to an existing browser session running Flash Player Debugger? I can connect to FDB like this, but with Builder I need to click Debug and rush to close the newly opened browser window before it loads the Flash file and then go back to the session I want to connect and right click it to start the debugger.
Unfortunately this is not very reliable as I can't always beat the window opening, requiring several attempts before being able to connect to the session I am interested in. If I could just tell Builder 'Start debugging' and then have it wait for the connection, I could now calmly go over to the browser, right click, hit debug, provide the IP and voila. This would allow me to inspect variables on a hard to replicate bug on a session running on a tester's computer.
I currently have an over, out and click event for 8 different objects. The over and out events are identical for each (tween expands object and then shrinks it back for the out state).I have previously asked for an easy way to declare those events, and now I was looking for an easier way to handle them.
Here's my code:
//-----------GARAGE
function growGarage(e:MouseEvent):void{
scaleTweenX = new Tween(map_garage, "scaleX", Elastic.easeOut, 0.648, 1, 0.5, true);
[code]....
I've tried using a single function and then using "this" as the object of the tween but that expanded the entire stage.
I can't figure what's the problem with the KeyboardEvent . I can't move the ship with keyboard. I have a ship on the stage .

I've got a movieclip on frame 1. Frame 1 has a stop action on it as well. The movieclip plays and I would like the main timeline to go on to frame 2. This movie clip is an instance that is going to be reused many times. As this is the case, I don't want to hard-code a gotoandplay within the movieclip. Is there some sort of AS that I can place on the main timeline to act as a listener to detect when the movieclip has finished and then to start playing the main timeline?

View 3 Repliestrying to use some code I have used in the past to pass args through an event listener. This is what I am doing, using an inline function. I dont completely understand how it all works, but know that in one open FLA it works and in the other it does not. The error thrown is #1178: Attempted access of inaccessible property spotlightBox through a reference with static type..." SpotlightBox is the name of the function I'm trying to pass data to.
The main difference in the two FLA's is that, in the broken one, it's constructed inside a for loop. My work deadline is in tomorrow and I am stuck. This is being used inside a with block for each sprite:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, function onRoll_Over(e:Event) { spotlightBox(e, new Array("5"))});
And here is the function:
function spotlightBox(e:Event, arg:Array):void{ trace(arg[0]);
}
what the most efficient method is for listening for events up and down a string of parents and children? Example:
(these are parents from left to right) Main Sprite -> Child A -> Child B -> Child C
Child C fires and Event - what's the best way to have Main Sprite listen for it?
1) Make Child B and C "public" so Main Sprite can attach a listener all the way down on C (_childA._childB._childC.addEventListener)
2) Child C's event triggers a Child B event that triggers a Child A event that Main Sprite listens for
I have a movieclip that is dynamically loaded into another movieclip. I would like to listen for the innermost movieclip's ending so that I can then have an animation occur. Is there an event listener that listens for the end of a movieclip?

In my Player class I'm dispatching an event(to fire a bullet) when the SPACE bar is pressed.

I have a parent swf and eight child swfs. The child swfs are loaded into an array at runtime on the parent swf using a Loader. I have buttons and functions on and in the parent swf to change out the child swfs. This all works just fine but here is my issue. On each of the child swfs I have buttons that need to call the functions in the main swf to change out the child swfs. The program is an interactive virtual tour and I want to be able to click on a door and have the next room's swf displayed in the parent swf. I'm trying to do this by dispatching an event from the child swf
ActionScript Code:
mainPanorama.bedDoor.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dispatchBedroom);
function dispatchBedroom(e:Event):void {
dispatchEvent(new Event("loadBedrooms"))
}
that needs to be heard by the parent swf and the appropriate function called.
ActionScript Code:
objectsArray.addEventListener("loadBedrooms", loadBedroom);
function loadBedroom(e:Event):void {
tourNum = 5;
unloadData(tourNum);
}
So far this specific code keeps telling me that addEventListener is not a function. I've tried quite a few variants of stage, this, and parent combinations in place of objectsArray but unfortunately something in the parent swf is not hearing the event dispatch.

Inside my controller movie clip, I have a draggable movie clip that dispatches an event when it reaches a point.

The dragger dispatches the event as follows:

Basically I've build a small class that can be imported anywhere in the program and one of it's public methods dispatch a listener, which as I understand can be received anywhere. Is that correct? In my project I've got a menu which slides in and out. It's movement can be triggered mainly bu the buttons on the menu, but I also want to be able to controll it's movement from various places in the program. So i.e. it can slide in or out when something completely unrelated has been clicked. So I've got a class "SlidingPanel" and one of its children is class "SlidingPanelNavigation". SlidingPanelNavigation uses the class that only dispatches the Event, which should be listened in class "SlidingPanel" and the problem is - it doesn't.
My main class that holds the whole menu together:
Code:
package com.zeeto.menu {
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.Event;
public class SlidingPanel extends MovieClip {
private var navigation :SlidingPanelNavigation;
[Code] .....
Why the SlidingPanel.slideMenu() isn't fired?
