Actionscript :: Flex - Stop Getting Mouse Click Events?
Sep 27, 2011
I have made a hierarchy in which there is a main page, using add element i have attached a component mxml of type group. There is a single button on main page when clicked it should add children of type group in that group type mxml component along with two buttons. Now using one of buttons i am attaching another component mxml type group. the problem is even they overlap i can still excess the children groups of first group component mxml.

Just wanted to ask if there is any advantage for either using mouse click event or touch tap events, when writing apps for mobiles or tablets (for the iphone especially)?
I know that both of them should work fine, but in term of performance, is anyone better? Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing either?
By the way am using actionscript3 to implement the app.

Is it possible to simulate a MouseEvent.CLICK to get fired by just firing first a MOUSE_DOWN followed by a MOUSE_UP.
As per Adobe's doumentation.
"... For a click event to occur, it must always follow this series of events in the order of occurrence: mouseDown event, then mouseUp. The target object must be identical for both of these events; otherwise the click event does not occur. Any number of other mouse events can occur at any time between the mouseDown or mouseUp events; the click event still occurs." [code]...

Banner ads have buttons that ad serving systems use the following syntax to dynamically assign a URL.[code]The clicktag button covers the stage (ad size) and prevents other mouse events like panning. Are there any hacks to get around this? I have a FLA that uses the following AS but the mandatory click tage button disables it the panning functionality.[code]

I have a key.addlistener setup to listen to key events. What I want to be able to do is to dispatch key events by for example a mouse click or just on load. I've tried a lot of possible solutions such as dispatchEvent with type as "onKeyDown" and "keyDown" etc.... but key listener simply do not treat it as a keyboard event.
Code:
var eventObj = new Object();
eventObj.type = "keyDown";
eventObj.code = 13;
eventObj.ascii = 'e';
dispatchEvent(eventObj);

When I put a sprite over top of another sprite, the lower sprite still gets the mouse events.
I'm sure there must just be a method that I don't know about. How do I tell AS to only raise events for the top sprites?

I have a question regarding the use of mouse clicks events in a multi-dimensional array (or a "2D" array as we refer to them in Java and C++).
Background
I have an array of objects each with a corresponding mouse click event. Each object is stored at a location ranging from [0][0] to [5][8] (hence a 9 x 6 grid) and has the specific column and row number associated with it as well (i.e. tile [2][4] has a row number of 2 and a column number of 4, even though it is on the third row, fifth column). Upon each mouse click, the tile that is selected is stored in a temporary array. The array is cleared if a tile is clicked that does not share a column or row value equal to, minus or plus 1 with the currently targeted tile (i.e. clicking tile [1][1] will clear the array if there aren't any tiles stored that have the row/column number
[0][0], [0][1], [0][2],
[1][0], [1][1], [1][2],
[2][0], [2][1], [2][2]
or any contiguous column/row with another tile stored in the array, meaning that the newly clicked tile only needs to be sharing a border with one of the tiles in the temp array but not necessarily with the last tile stored).
Question
What is a clean, tidy way of programming this in AS3? Here are a couple portions of my code (although the mouse click event isn't finished/working correctly):

I have objects that the user can click&drag. They're PNGs, mainly rectangular, no problem till here.But I then had to put an L-shaped object (a PNG with a lot of transparency), so i've made a movieclip with an shape with the same L shape than the png, and use it as its hitArea:
shape.visible= false;
shape.mouseEnabled= false;
obj.addChild(shape);
obj.hitArea= shape;
This works PERFECT, the mouse events respond as expected, and I can click on objects that are below/above the transparent area of the png/object.All objects are inside a Sprite called playgroundLayer1. The issue comes when I take the L-shaped object and put it on another Sprite (playgroundLayer2), that is above the playgroundLayer1.I this case, I can click&drag on the L, but no object below the transparent area of the L receives mouse events.

I am looking to provide some UI functionality using the mouse- I have two distinct UI events to be achieved via mouse
a) change value
b) delete object
I don't seem to have sufficient mouseclick events for both. I am avoiding using the right click as it has some default options(whose signing off will affect the whole project- not just this). I have mouse click used for change value- how do I use the doubleclick as the single-click events seems to get invoked prior?

I have a presentation which is one movie clip in one frame on the main timeline. The movie clip has quite a lengthy timeline. What I need to do is stop the movie at a frame then play on mouse click and in some cases gotoandplay, then stop again. There are no other movie clips inside the main movie clip and I want there to be no buttons. Just proceed to the next bit on mouse click.

I've got a large scrolling thumbnail gallery which is attaching mc's dynamically based on xml, php, mysql. it's working great. when you click on a thumbnail a popup (within flash, not really a popup) window comes up and will load an .flv, another image and some stats. The popup zooms in over top of the field of thumbnails and the mc containing the thumbnails drops alpha so you can focus on the popup. what I need help figuring out is a way to stop all mouse events on the mc's in that container mc (the thumbnails). right now they are still active behind the popup and they need to be inactive otherwise you can still click on them behind the popup...

I have buttons that have mouse_over, mouse_out and CLICK events. But when I click the button it takes me to another frame and the mouse_out event tried to fire.
act1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, act1Pressed);
act1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, act1Over);
act1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, act1Out);
act1_btn.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, act1EnterFrame);

I have a scenario where I am listening to both CLICK and MouseDown events for an object.
On MouseDown I do a startDrag(). And on Click, I perform something else.
But the problem is that, MouseDown event fires first and it initiates a drag. The click event does not fire.

I am trying to have two guestures on a SpriteVisualElement which I thought should be pretty simple implemented: Mouse_Move for sweep Gestures and mouse click to enable.. So I have 2 Eventlisteners on my stage:
[Code]...
The main problem is that every type of sweeping on the screen also fires the taphandler().. how to identify the correct event? I tried to to my taphandler only if(!event.buttondown) but no success.

I was certain that this type of problem would have been previously discussed here or in a tutorial. I have looked quite a bit and could not find anything that puts all the pieces of my puzzle together.As the movie is playing (looping), I would like the movie to stop at the current frame whenever I click and hold the mouse down within the area of the container. Furthermore, I would like to be able to scrub the movie backward if I drag my mouse to the left within the container and as I reach the left end of the container, the movie is at the first frame. And similarly, I would like to scrub forward if I drag to the right within the container and as I reach the right end of the container, the movie is at the last frame. On top of this daunting task, I would like the movie to resume playing from wherever I have released the mouse.
Here is a file that I have started and I am pretty much at a loss as to where to go now. I know it has something to do with where the mouse is relative to either side of the container, but...how does one get it to work?Basically, I would like to emulate the functionality of the QuickTime Player - the one where you can grab the slider and drag it left or right to scrub in either direction and then upon release of the slider it resumes playing.I do not understand the media components in MX 2004, maybe this type of thing is "easy" to program in to one of those modules?

Right now all the sounds (78 of them) on my guitar play using the roll_over event but that doesn't give the user much control over what sound is played.
The actionscript im using to play my sounds is this;
for(var i:uint = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++){
buttonArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, buttonRolledOver);
}
[Code]....
What i want to do is only play a sound with the roll_over event when the left click is held down.

handling global keyboard events in Flex, is to attach a listener in the application complete event of a Flex application. However, no matter what I try, I have not been able to catch events without clicking on a point on the page, which is hosting my Flex application.
Moreoever, if I use a Flex component in a web application, where there is also html and Javascript, I'd still like to be able to grap global keyboard events, even if the embedded flex component (in flash player) does not have focus. So is there a reliable method for connecting flex applications and components (when they're embedded in a web page) to keyboard events?

I want to replicate the standard startDrag/stopDrag events with my own routine to alter things a bit, and I run into some kind of event propagation or bubbling problem. Here is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute"
mouseDown="mouseDown = true" mouseUp="mouseDown = false"
[Code].....
The problem with this code is that as you drag the object to the right, you will see in the trace that occasionally some random localX values arrive there, resulting in the object jerking from side to side.

I have a base ShapeContainer(UIComponent). I add a uicomponent which has mouse down listener to ShapeContainer. the listener works great. When I add a simple sprite(draw square) on the ShapeContainer, The listener does not work any more. In the code, if I comment below line, The event listener works fine.

im working on:[code]For more detailed comprehension: corner is the black corner with the (i) and 'Promotion', text is some random text that can be displayed in the white remaining space, container contains corner and text, and finally this class contains container!I need to retrieve the event mouseevent.rollover/rollout from corner.And what's wrong?
1. When I put the mask on container (container.rawchildren.addchildren + container.mask = mask) and the dropshadowfilter on container (container. filters = [glow]), I cannot detect the mouse events.
2. When I put the mask on the promopanel (this.rawchildren.addchildren + this.mask = mask) and the dropshadowfilter on promopanel (this.filters = [glow]), I cannot detect the mouse events.
3. When I put the mask in a component and the filter in another, it does not work either.
4. If I remove the mask OR the filter, it works!! But I need them both...
So, does anyone has an idea on how to make this work? I've been trying to look for issues with filters, masks and mouseevents but haven't found anything that could enlighten this issue.

I am implementing an application timeout feature (flex4). What I am finding is that mouse and keyboard events, which I have listened to with :
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, resetLastActivity);
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, resetLastActivity);
are being masked by the existence of any popup windows. The code is in a component, in the constructor. The component is added to the main application in the block.
How can I get these system generated events to not get stopped by PopUpManager display objects?

Is this the most efficient way to listen to mouse events on the background of a group?
<s:Group width="200" height="100" rollOver="group1_rollOverHandler(event)" rollOut="group1_rollOutHandler(event)">
<s:Rect width="100%" height="100%">
<s:fill>
<s:SolidColor alpha="0"/>
</s:fill>
</s:Rect>
</s:Group>
seems pretty minimal, but alpha = 0 is not the most efficient thing out there.

If my understanding of Flex is correct, skins in Flex are just DisplayObjects that are added as children to UIComponents to create the visual representation of the object. But if my understanding of the Flash event model is correct, if there is a non-transparent DisplayObject on top of another, mouse events will go to the topmost DisplayObject. The overlapped DisplayObject won't receive any mouse input.
So how is it that skinned Flex UIComponents work at all?

I'm drawing an arrow as a <s:Path> and I need to get notified when the mouse is over it. How can I do that?
The arrow is an element of a Group container.
I tried registering for MOUSE_OVER events for both the container and the arrow and none seem to fire...

I have a BorderContainer with some instances of spark Line. I need to select this lines by clicking on this. But adding event mouse click listener fails. ASdoc [URL] says that line have only activate and deactivate events. Any best way to detect whether line clicked (use another line class?). I think that catching of clicks in the bordercontainer is bad solution.

Im working with a flex application that pulls data from a java class file using message handler event. The received message string is added to ArrayCollection. The string consists of codeID and other values related to codeID. Had displayed the detail in a datagrid. The codeID is randomly generated and is pushed to flex for every second. Now, the problem is, I needa update the datagrid cell values, for instance, if i have pushed codeID's of (0001,0007,0005,0003) to the front end, that displays the corresponding values of each codeID in the datagrid, second instance of (0001) should update records in the existing row of (0001). I tried to check the existence of codeID in ArrayCollection using search algorithm, but dont know how to proceed further.

I have a Group on my View, and i'm trying to fill it with some collor and add an mouse event on it, all dynamicaly.the problem is, when i add the mouse event, the group simply turns invisible again. It still exists on the view and responds normally to the mouse event, but i cant see it.here's an code example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="HomeView" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()" >[code]......
without the mouse event, the group is visible, but it vanishes when i try to add it. i've tried with other events, like the ENTER_FRAME Event and it works normaly, but all the mouse events that i tried turn the Group invisible.i've actually solved my problem using the opaqueBackground property, the Group don't vanish when i add the event this whay. But now i'm curious about the reason of this behavior.

My Flex application is heavily keyboard-oriented. It uses 100% of the browser window and I'd like the user to be able to start using it immediately - as soon as it loads. However, it seems that the application is only first "activated" (i.e. the activate event fires) when the mouse clicks somewhere inside it, which is very inconvenient for my keyboard-heavy app.
Can I force an activation of my app at some point during/after it loads? I hope I don't have to display some silly "click inside to activate" overlay every time the page loads..
In certain browsers ([cough] Chrome [/cough]) the focus is lost whenever the user switches away from the browser (or even touches the address bar) and is not regained when switching back. So the solution has to take in consideration not just the first focus when the page loads but also "re-focusing".
