im looking for a way to add an PropertyChangeEvent to an object that I have defined. The goal is to raise a change event when any of the property of the object is been changed.
so i can do something like the following
var newItem:MyObject = new MyObject();
newItem.addEventListener(event.PropertyChangeEvent, myO_PropertyChangeHandler);
I want to capture a change in a property of an item as follows
myItem.addEventListener(PropertyChangeEvent.PROPERTY_CHANGE,listener);
protected function listener(event:PropertyChangeEvent):void {
}

How to trigger a custom jQuery event from Flash, passing some data through event object?
View 2 RepliesWhen I use MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT the target is [object MovieClip], but when I use MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT I get [object Bildspel] - and Bildspel is my class. The thing is that when I use ROLL_OUT I'm not able to delete the targets ENTER_FRAME event.

Alright, I've looked online at a bunch of different collision tutorials but they don't explain what I'm looking for. I want object A to hit object B and then execute a function via to a Event listener.
View 1 RepliesI want to listen for a custom event dispatched from the document class in a custom subclass. For example, let's say in the document class I have:
ActionScript Code:[code]....
So that the subclass will trace 'Event from document class received' when the 'customEvent' event from the document class is listened by the eventlistener. However, the output is only 'customEvent dispatched', meaning it wasn't heard in the subclass.
I posted this in Flash General Discussion but it's probablymore appropriate here.If I use the following example code (in Flex):

function clicSouris( pEvt:MouseEvent ):void { var positionX:Number=pEvt.stageX; var positionY:Number=pEvt.stageY;

what appens when I add an Event Listener to Object Event?
Following the logic with the display list in AS3, I thought only Classes who inherit flash.display.InteractiveObject could react from events coming from mouses (or keyboard).
When I add SequenceWaiter step into the SequenceRunner, how can I get event object wich was passed into the event? There is the code from my test function:
var sequence: SequenceRunner = new SequenceRunner(this);
sequence.addStep(new SequenceCaller(manager, function(): void {
manager.startUpload();

Why can't I loop through an event object that is handed as an argument to a handler function?
ActionScript Code:
myObject.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, myMouseEvent)
function myMouseEvent (event:MouseEvent){

[Code]......
The event argument is classed as an 'object' but it doesn't seem to act like an object...

View 3 RepliesI have created a new class, that is basicly just a movieclip but with a builtin eventlistener. When I add a few instances of this class to the stage, they all have the eventlistener. But later on when i remove the intances from the stage and null the references, Will the eventlistener still exist or will it be removed by the GC ?
View 2 RepliesI have two sprite object and they direct to same event like follows:

When click spirt1 or sprite2,it will call mouseEventHandler function,my question is how to determine which sprite is click in mouseEventHandler function,sprite1 or sprite?
I am using a box element to add a transparent overlay to a column of buttons. I want to add a click event to the buttons. However, when you click a button the click event is only triggered on the overlaying box. Is there anyway to pass the event to the underlying button or perhaps a better way to display an overlay without blocking the click event?

If I run add('movie123'). How do I get the string 'movie123' in the enter_frame_handler function? UPDATE This forum post (Click Here) describes the issues I am having but doesn't provide the solution I am looking for. Luckily @kapep provided a simple solution that solved the issue.
So ive made the switch from AS2.0 to 3.0, and like many fellow casual flashers, I'm having a bit of a tough time
I understand that below, the first trace works because the mouse event comes from the clicked object, and that the second produces an error because the ENTER_FRAME event is attached to the stage, so e.target is the stage. i realise i can attach the listener to the obj, but i need it on the stage for what im doing
How can i reference the clicked object from run() ?
ActionScript Code:
obj.addEventListener( MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, doMouseDown );
function doMouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void {
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, run);

I'm new to AS3 and I was making a game of chess. Basically whenever you click a square with a chess piece, I assumed it would be like java, and you'd be able to create an "ActionListener" that would pass a reference to a square that was clicked.
My question is this: How can I access this square object that was clicked in my array?[code]...
I'm listening for a Loader to COMPLETE loading, and then I jump to a handler function "thumbLoaded". I would like to create a new Loader obj. each time I enter the "thumbLoaded" function. I would like this new Loader to be equal to the Loader that triggered the COMPLETE event. But I don't know the correct syntax to refer to that Loader. I'm trying to refer to the "parent" of the contentLoaderInfo object (ie, the Loader object itself). I've tried both "target.parent" and "currentTarget.parent". I get an error that says "parent is not a valid property of the loaderInfo object".
ActionScript Code:
function loadThumb():void{
if (i < kitchensGallery_xml.kitchen.length()){
var thumbLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I have one movie clip that sits partially over top of another movie clip. The underlying movie clip has a ROLL_OVER effect on it. Is it possible for the mouse to somehow activate the ROLL_OVER only when the mouse cursor moves over a portion of the overlying movieclip when it's over top the underlying movie clip? In other words, the ROLL_OVER event should be triggered by the mouse cursor as through the overlying movie clip wasn't even there, when the mouse rolls over that area.
View 4 RepliesI have isometric tiles that are put together to form a map. Because the graphics are isometric, and the images themselves are rectangles (with transparent corners) I was wondering if there's way to pass a mouse event through image being clicked if it's being clicked at a point that is transparent onto the object that is layered below it. Using the bitmapData class I already know how to check if the position being clicked is transparent or not, just not the second part.
View 3 RepliesIm tyring to turn a Movie Clip into a classic button - roll-over to display text, roll-off and text goes away, click and go to frame of animation. Each works on its own but when I put all 3 on the same Movie Clip (Tick1) each succeeding event listener seems to erase the previous one. Here is the code:
var txtField:TextField = new TextField();
Tick1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, GoToStart);
Tick1.buttonMode = true;

I have a movie clip being dynamically added to the stage via an AS3 linkage call:
gameOver_mc = new GameOver();
stage.addChild(gameOver_mc);
The movie loads as required.But when the movie has been added I want the user to be able to press spacebar and a function to run.So in the GameOver.as class I wrote the following:
Code:
package
{
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
[code]...
But as soon as the movie clip tries to load I get the error message: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.I would have thought this would work fine. When I trace the statement in the Constructor function is works. Its only when I try to add an event listener that I get the problems. So am I not allowed to add event listeners from a dynamically loaded class?

Is there a way to check if an event object is == to a sprite. For example
Actionscript Code:
if(evt.target == [object Sprite])
I'm having trouble telling flash which Sprite to move in my script:
[code]....
TimeBlock and TimeHandle are really just classes that draw rectangles. My script (as seen here) will move the last instance of timeHandle added. If I un-comment the other new TimeHandle() section though, it will only apply it to one of them.
Ordinarily I would use event.target, but I have to use the stage as the listener for MOUSE_MOVE and MOUSE_UP. If I was doing this in PHP or even AS2 I would just pass an argument like reposition(clipname).

I have a game where "targets" hide behind trees and when they pop out from behind, you click them and they are destroyed. For some reason though, when you click the tree they are hiding behind, they still get destroyed. I want them to be safe from the user clicks when hiding. Here is a sample of the code I am using:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler, false, 0, true);
function onClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{

I tried adding an else if statement like so:
Code:
else if(bullet.hitTestObject(backtrees)) {
poof.x = bullet.x;
poof.y = bullet.y;
[code]....
but that did nothing as well. As you can see, it is not the click of the user that causes the target to disappear, but the hittestobject that causes it to disappear.
