Flash :: Grab An Event In An Intermediary Handler, Hold It In A Property, Then Dispatch It Later And Still Get The .target?

Jul 22, 2010

Is it possible to grab an event, hold it in a class property, do some action, then, when that action is complete, dispatch an event and then retrieve the original event.target in the listener?I am trying to avoid using a custom event for now, as it is giving me massive amounts of heartburn when dispatching it from a loaded SWF.Here is some code (that doesn't work)what I am attempting to do:

package
{
import fl.transitions.easing.Regular;
import fl.transitions.Tween;[code]....

I am able to stash the event in a class variable, and then access it later, but the cherry on the icing would be to get it from the event fired withing tweenHandler() in my example above.

Edit: Well,it doesn't look possible.I am currently storing the retrieved event in a property _event and then getting it at a later time when I need it.This seems to work, but isn't wonderful.

Flash :: Dispatch A Different Event From Inside An Event Handler?

I have an event listener for a custom event type. This custom event overrides the clone method as required.In this event listener I want to dispatch an instance of a different type of event... a different custom event instance altogether. It also overrides the clone method as required.The problem is I'm getting a type coercion error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: ...I do not know what is trying to do the casting.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Setting Event Handler For Button - Error #1009: Cannot Access A Property Or Method Of A Null Object Reference?

Nov 24, 2009

I seem to be having a recurring problem attaching events to a button i have created within 2 other movieclips.I get the following error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

So it looks like it can't find the button, in order to attach the event listener. The question is why? I am attaching a similar event to a button on the main timeline and that works fine. So it looks like a scope issue, but I am referring to it properly.

code below:
Code:
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

ActionScript 3.0 :: Create Event Class That Can Handle The Target Property?

Jan 30, 2009

I'm not sure if it's possible, but can you override a variable of a parent class like you can override a function? I'm trying to create my own event class that can handle the target property. I have a custom imageLoader class, but when it dispatches it's loading complete event:

ActionScript Code: dispatch(new Event("load_complete")); and a listener picks it up, e.target = null where I would like e.target to equal the imageLoader instance that has finished loading.

Does anyone have an answer or a better way to accomplish what I am aiming for?

AS3 :: Flash - Dispatch Event From Class?

Nov 6, 2009

I have a class which makes a url request and stores data from that request. When the data is retrieved, parsed, and stored into an array, I'm sending a dispatch event which I listen for in my document class. In the event handler function in the document class, I'm accessing the array that was compiled from the class. The array inside the class has 15 values, however in my event handler function, I'm only retrieving one value from it, which is the last value in the array. I posted my code below. Is there a different way I'm supposed to use the dispatchEvent in order to retrieve all of the array values instead of one?

Class
package com.src
{
import flash.display.Sprite;

Flash :: Dispatch Event From ItemRenderer To Datagroup?

Apr 27, 2011

Eventdispatching here we are again...

I'm trying to dispatch a custom event from an custom ItemRenderer inside a Datagroup with no success.[code]...

From what i saw in the debugger, the events are dispatched from the ItemRenderer, but they never get catched by the listener (listener handler is never called). Many suggestions fly around about that in stackoverflow, but most for older flex versions or not practicle for my scenario.

Flash :: Dispatch Event With Bubbles On A Class That Do Not Appear On The Stage?

Jan 29, 2012

I have small swf as3 flash applications that are loaded by a main flex application. The main Flex Application contains an SWFLoader and i added an event listener on SWFLoader.content to fetch custom events that I prepared.

now whenever I like in the application I use the function dispatchEvent to create the event and I make sure that the bubbles parameter of the event is true. so in this case the event bubbles up in the stage until it reaches my event listener and I can handle the event properly. the problem resides when I have a static class and I want to dispatch the event from there. because it's a static class and not a display object that appears on my stage it has no where to bubble to and because of that I cannot fetch the custom even in my main flex application.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Set Event Handler From Outside Flash?

Aug 8, 2009

I'm trying to find a way that I can control how a flash movie handles the click event from the HTML page outside the movie.

I run a website where we have advertising space for Flash Ads provided by our customers which, when clicked, open their own website in a new browser window (i.e. target='_blank') - however this causes us a few issues:

1.) We want to track the success of their ads, so we give them a custom URL that their ad should link to instead of linking directly to their site. This URL logs the click before redirecting the browser to the customer's website.

2.) Often the flash files we get use GetUrl() which seams to trigger the popup blockers in IE 7 & 8.

These two points mean we have to provide them with the custom URL for them to include in their flash ad, and/or tell them how to set up the movie to handle the clicks in a way that doesn't trigger the IE popup blocker, and this doesn't make it as seamless as it should be to place an ad on our site.

So, what I'm trying to do is find a way that I can reference the Flash movie object with JavaScript (or similar), and set the click event to open up a specified URL - so if the customer's flash movie doesn't have the right URL set in it, or is triggering IE's popup blocker it doesn't matter because when we display it, we can modify the event handler to use the correct URL and to open up their website without tripping any popup blockers.

Flash :: System.setClipboard() Inside Event Handler?

Aug 6, 2010

Any thoughts on a good way to accomplish something along the lines of

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://myurl.com");
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(event:Event):void {
System.setClipboard(loader.data);
});

It seems as if System.setClipboard() isn't available inside an event handler (which makes at least some sense given what I know about Flash security).get it to work? or block on the URL load so that I can then call setClipboard() in the main event flow?

When I call the function at the start of the program it gives me an 1120: Access of undefined property event error. The function is originally written as followed:

function randomMatchedTrial(event:MouseEvent) {
... lots of code that probably doesnt matter, but let me know if it does...

the program starts by calling the function as followed:

ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Hold On Frame Waiting For Event

Jan 18, 2010

I am sure I will receive the beginner question of the year with this one: Just starting w/ Flash 8. Using AS2 to simply make a graphic (and its clickable area) proceed to next frame when clicked. When input : button.onRelease = function() { gotoAndStop(2) the movie proceeds to Frame 2 without a pause for the click event. I have tried a stop(); prior to the above function, but no action after click. Basically trying to understand why frame 1 with the event handler AS does not pause to accept the mouse click?
I apologize for such a basic question, but my eyeballs are bleeding from trying to figure this out.
