Flash :: AS3 MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE Event Stops Responding After MouseEvent.CLICK Call?

Nov 6, 2010

I have several stage event handlers to enable mouseovers over several dynamically generated moviecilps on the stage that then change their alpha to indicate the mouse is over that particular mc... fairly trivial (mcOver handler). Additionally, I also want to know what MC is clicked, so I update a public variable (public var activemc:Number) with the ID of the dynamic movieclip when the mouse is over it (using a hitTest to check, which is why the EventListener is added to stage and not to the MC), which is checked in the mcClicked handler:This is in the constructor:

//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDrawing);
//stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDrawing);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);[code]....

However, the mouseover behaviour (alpha 0 when over, alpha 1 when out) stops working as soon as I click on any movieclip on the stage, and the mcClicked ID checking (below) stops working completely. I don't know if this is to do with focus:

private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
}

I then tried adding the event handler for the stage mouse_move again and this gets the mouseover working again but only for 1 more click, after which it stops again:

private function mcClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
myTextField.text = String(activemc); // activemc is a public var:Number with the movieclip //ID
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mcOver);

Flash :: MouseEvent.CLICK Not Responding On Stage

Feb 25, 2011

When I listen to mouse click event on the stage, it seems it's not always responding to my mouse click event. what I have is:

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, Test);
function Test(event:MouseEvent):void
{
trace("test");
}

I usually have to click a few times randomly on the stage to get the trace statement.
I thought when I add this event listener to the stage, it should respond to any mouse click within the swf area, no?

Actionscript 3.0 :: MouseEvent.Mouse_Move Event Not Working Assigned In The Top Of The First Line

Oct 21, 2010

Trying to use the MouseEvent.Mouse_Move event. Simply, there's one 300 x 20 line which the event is assigned and another line (100x20) is top of the first line. But if mouse moves over the second line, the event is not working... The same event could be assigned on the second line but it seems a bit waste and I'm sure there must be a way to trigger the event through the other object.

I'm making a button for the first time, and I wanted to use a full click to drive it. However, when I use addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClickHandler); nothing happens when I click on it. When I use (with the rest of the code being identical) addEventListener(MouseEvent. MOUSE_ down, onClickHandler); it works like a charm.

Actionscript 3 :: Cancelling MouseEvent.CLICK After MouseEvent.MOUSE-DOWN

Aug 11, 2011

I have a MOUSE_DOWN handler that creates a CLICK event listener on a child object. Naturally, as soon as you release the mouse button, if you happen to be over the child object, the CLICK event fires.I was disappointed to discover that event.stopImmediatePropagation doesn't interrupt the CLICK event from registering the MOUSE_DOWN as part of its detection cycle. It makes sense that it doesn't but still... disappointing.A MouseEvent.CLICK consists of detecting a MOUSE_DOWN on the object and then if it's followed by a MOUSE_UP without leaving the object, he event fires. I had hoped that by cancelling the MOUSE_DOWN event, it would clear that out of the CLICK buffer, but no such potatoes, alas.This could all be handled with a flag and a couple more MOUSE_UP and MOUSE_DOWN handlers, but dang, smacks of effort

ActionScript 3.0 :: How Fast Does Flash Player Process MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE

Aug 29, 2011

I would like to know how fast, flash player processes the Mouse movement? Does it process mouse movement at the same speed as the fps(frames/second) of the flash player .
For example for a function added as a listener to Mouse movement say, stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveListener); Does flash invoke this function 'mouseMoveListener' every time the mouse is moved? Is it done at the same speed at which the Operating system handles mouse move ? Or is it lesser? If so, then by what amount?

IDE :: Why A MouseEvent.CLICK Would Affect Only 1 Of 5 Items

Oct 28, 2009

Is there any reason why a MouseEvent.CLICK would affect only 1 of 5 items, whereas a MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER and MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT affect 5 of 5 items when each event listener is applied exactly the same way?For some reason, of the 5 images I've imported, only the last image is able to be clicked and have click actions applied, yet it is able to receive the ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT messages. So that leaves me thoroughly confused.

ActionScript 3.0 :: .addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK Won't Work

Dec 15, 2009

I am trying to add a simple "getURL" type of functionality to a movieclip so that when it is clicked on, the user is taken to a url. i have tried 3 or 4 different ways to do this that all work when i test the movie clip in flash. However, when i embed the swf in a webpage, the click function does not work.I created a function:

Code:
function gotoPage(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest('http://www.metteradvertising.com/marketing-help.html');
navigateToURL(targetURL);
}

and I'm calling it this way ("Bmeasure" is the movieclip name):

Code:

Bmeasure.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoPage);

am i not able to attach "click" functionality to a movieclip?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Canceling MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT On CLICK

I am using an event listener for both rollOut and rollOver to a button, on roll over it populates a text field, roll out clears the field, however I would like on click to populate the field and leave it persistant untill another roll over event happens, curently the roll_out event takes priority and when I move my mouse it clears the field, regardless of click.

what is the best way to cancel the roll_out event?

ActionScript 3.0 :: MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL Requires CLICK?

Mar 4, 2011

I have the following code:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event; 
var mouseWheel_mc:MouseWheel_mc = new MouseWheel_mc();
var over:Boolean=true;
addChild(mouseWheel_mc);

[Code]...

there is a MovieClip named mouseWheel_mc which is being called at runtime from the library with 30 frames in it, sequential animation frames.I would like the MouseWheel motion to play these frames forward or backward depending on which direction the mousewheel is being pulled or pushed.

Everything works just fine, but the problem is that the event won't start until you actually click in the SWF window (inside).  I thought I could remedy that by using an Event.INIT or Event.ACTIVATE call but neither of those remedy the situation.

How can I get the event to fire once the SWF is in the browser without having to first click within the SWF?

Actionscript 3 :: MouseEvent's CLICK Versus DOUBLE_CLICK?

Apr 11, 2010

is it not possible to have both CLICK and DOUBLE_CLICK on the same display object? i'm trying to have both for the stage where double clicking the stage adds a new object and clicking once on the stage deselects a selected object.

it appears that DOUBLE_CLICK will execute both itself as well as the first CLICK functions in the path toward DOUBLE CLICK (mouse down, mouse up, click, mouse down, mouse up, double click).in other languages i've programmed with there was a built-in timers that set the two apart. is this not available in AS3?

UPDATE:here's some code. essentially what i would like is have one or the other, not both with double click

stage.doubleClickEnabled = true;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, twoClicks, false, 0, true);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, oneClick, false, 0, true);
