Flash - Why Do EventListeners Stop Working After Manipulating The Z-property And Changing Stage.quality
Sep 16, 2011
Currently one of our teams suffers from a very strange phenomena: after manipulating the z property of a MovieClip and changing the stage quality some event listeners of nested MovieClips seem to disappear (or at least not react to the proper events any longer).
The problem also only appears when doing both, changing the stage quality and manipulating the zproperty.
Here is a simple class demonstrating the issue:
package {
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.Graphics;

Here is the problem I have: after I change the index of one movieclip using this code
oldIndex=getChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target));
setChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target), numChildren - 1);
when I give the object its old index
setChildIndex(DisplayObject(e.target), oldIndex);
and go to another frame of the movie, this element I have changed the index of stays on top of all elements on the new frame. My question is am I doing something wrong and if not, what can I do so that this element stays only in the frame it is placed.

I want to add multiple rectangles to the stage and manipulate them on an individual basis. Here is my code:
<code>
var rectangle:Shape = new Shape;
rectangle.name = "firstrectangle";
rectangle.graphics.beginFill(0xFF0000);
[Code].....
I get an error back that says firstrectangle and secondrectangle are undefined.

I tried using a .enabled = false; when I already had a click event on that movie clip. I found that you need to remove the eventlistener instead of making enabled false.Why doesn't enabled work when you have event listeners?I'm really more curious than in need of an answer since removeEventListener worked fine.

i have the ingame sprite and it needs to be in StageQuality.LOW due to some prerformance problems, and the hud needs to be in StageQuality.HIGH... but they are in the same stage. I tried changing quality before rendering the ingame (to a big bitmapdata) but changing this property every frame is too expensive.

I have a problem. I have a MovieClip that has a script. The MovieClip has an object inside of it. The script is for when I press the left and right arrow keys, the objects inside the MovieClip change. This MovieClip is placed on the stage.
I have a button on the stage, when its pressed, the MovieClip mentioned above is removed.
Once its remove, I press the left and right arrow keys and I revive errors in the output saying; the eventlisteners are still there but the objects gone, error.
I am wondering how I can either remove the event listeners in a MovieClip from the stage and/or how to acess variables and EventListners in a MovieClip from the stage.

How do I change the stage quality to improve rendering performance in Flash Player AIR? StageQuality doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? I'm using this in the Main() app class constructor:
stage.quality = StageQuality.LOW;
Is there no other way to improve performance in AIR apps?

I am creating a site with lots of big scrollable text-boxes in it. Each text-box object contained some text, and two buttons to scroll up/down with. The scroll buttons each had an event listener so the text moved when you clicked them.
These text-boxes were stacked on-top of each other with all except one having an alpha of 0. If I wanted to change which text-box is active I move it to the front and call a small TweenLite animation.
To the left (outside of the text-box objects) I have an object similar to a menu. It also has about 12 or so event-listeners (one for every button). This turns out cause A LOT of lag an it's very troublesome for my laptop to run it. What I need help with doing is to reduce the number of event-listeners on the stage and also the amount of text-boxes.
What I was thinking was to add the text-boxes using AS so I only have 1 on the stage at a time but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I also thought it might be better to just use 1 big event-listeners and from mouseX and mouseY decide which button the user is trying to push.

a movie clip symbol is designed and subclassed in Flash, but get instanced and addChild-ed in AS3. It works well as long as I don't change it's width/height property (scaling works too), but if i do, it disappears

When I click the quality button, the listener responds (I get the "quality altered" trace), but the quality doesn't change. I don't see a problem in the code, the quality is bound to change because it has to be set as one of the four. What am I doing wrong?
Code:
gameStats.qualityButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, alterQuality)
function alterQuality(event:MouseEvent)

I am trying to make a quality button, a single button that changes the quality to the next setting.
Right now I am using this code:
function changeQuality(event:MouseEvent):void {
if(stage.quality==StageQuality.BEST){
stage.quality=StageQuality.HIGH
}else if(stage.quality==StageQuality.HIGH){
stage.quality=StageQuality.MEDIUM
}else if(stage.quality==StageQuality.MEDIUM){
stage.quality=StageQuality.LOW
}else if(stage.quality==StageQuality.LOW){
stage.quality=StageQuality.BEST
}}
No errors come up, but it doesn't change the quality either.

I use Flash 8.I'm making this very simple Nav Box where on certain links open in a new window/tab. Those links work great.But most of the links are set to open in the same window that the Nav Box is on. When saving the SWF and HTML, the links work great.
The problem comes when I place it on other pages/sites. The "Self" links never work. Here are samples.

Neither page nor link in the Nav Box requires a Iframe nor anything "special" to work.Here are to version of the AS2 code I've tried (Using the Day Of Victory Ministries link as a sample)
#1
on (release) {getURL("http://www.dovm.org/DOVM_AVP.html");
}

Unless I'm mistaken, the way flash works, it matters not which server it is on so long as it's directory is public. This enables the flash to be placed on any page (via it's root link / Embedding code) and still have it's buttons work.

So far my code stops the sound but once it has stopped the sound no longer works. I don't see any errors reported. It is as if the event listener no longer listens...
stop();
var soundClip:Sound = new Sound();
var sndChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
var soundClipCompleted = false;
var isPlaying = false;
soundClip.load(new URLRequest("tune.mp3"));

I drew up some graphic symbols in Illustrator and imported and defined them as MovieClips in the Flash library. That way I could just place them where I want to visually on the stage. As I have been solidifying the visual design, I have been implementing it in Actionscript to access the flexibility the code provides.
In order to port a symbol to actionscript I did the following:

This should hopefully just be a quickie. I'm slowly starting to learn Flash and Actionscript and right now I'm a bit more stuck than usual. I have an array, "container", to which new movieclips are added by clicking a button. When they are added they are given a name, "pic" + i, and are added at the corresponding index "i". Now, what if I want to change the position of a certain movieclip in the array or alter its alpha value? I tried something like:
