Flash Cs5 :: Change Frames In A Movieclip, Event Listeners Pointed To One Object In The Previous Frame Are Removed
Oct 20, 2010
I have a movieclip that contains two frames, each frame contains a different set of buttons.
it seems that i cannot add the event listeners to buttons that are not in my current viewed frame.
so.. problem one: is there a way to add event listeners to all the elements in the movieclip even if the elements are in a different frame.
problem two: after I added an event listener to some elements in current frame and then I move forward to the next frame and go back to the same frame, all the event listeners are removed and i need to initialize them again. is there a way to resolve the issue without the need to re-initialize the event listeners ?

I have 3 frames each with a movie clip called map_mc. Each different map_mc have different objects that call the CollisionDetect class. Heres whats happening. objects from frame 1 will start freaking out when I goto frame 2. How do I remove only the event listeners from objects only on frame 1?
I have been trying this.currentFrame but the problem is that all the objects are inside map_mc on the first frame so no matter what it will always be 1. On the other hand MovieClip(root).currentFrame will always give me the current frame but wont tell me what the objects frame is relative to the stage.What I want to do is have something to this effect:MovieClip(root).this.currentFrame would output that this object is on frame 1 and MovieClip(root).currentFrame will tell me that the stage is on frame 2 so I can remove the listeners accordingly.

if i have a movie clip with an even listener attached to it, is the event listener being removed automatically when the movie clip is removed from the stage or should i always remove the event listeners manually?

I want to run a function when a certain movieclip enter a specific frame. The problem is it run the function repeatedly. I only want it to run once each time the movieclip change from one frame to another is there an event Listener that does it ? (can't put the code on each frame of the movieclip to sloppy and long)

I have l modded some code that I am really happy with, it makes buttons bounce around for the user to try to click on when entering a certain frame.. I notice tha the code adds eventlisteners ENTER_FRAME to make this work, when you leave that frame there are now problems with null objects becuase the listeners are still on but the objects are not there anymore..
Ok so attempted solution - I can use a currentLabel on the main timeline to check if the correct frame is reached then use a function if (label is x) put listeners on else take them off... works but then I have to have these objects hidden on the timeline and then add visible=true/false to my framelabel listener.. This works but part of my functionality here is that these movieclips that move are buttons that the user clicks on and they explode and dissapear- but now they dont because I have a code that says on that frame they should be visible..
The only thing I can think of is to have a blank frame at the end of the explode and put a stop on it. Then add a gotoAndPlay(1) into my frame label code. Seems very ugly, you guys got a better way? Can I remove eventlisteners on leaving a frame? Is there a code like LEAVE_FRAME??

I have a movieClip button in my library that I dynamically add multiple instances of to the stage using code (so each instance has a unique name). The button has two frames, so it has a basic rollover effect (just changes color. To make the rollover work, I've had to dynamically add an event listener to each new instance of the movieclip, which triggers the rollover function.
I was wondering, instead of adding an event listener each time, can I somehow have an event listener within the movieclip to take care of the rollover? Or will it not make any difference to the number of event listeners, as it will still add a listener with each new instance of the clip?

I 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 ?

I'm working on a gunslinger game. I have numerous frames which correspond to different stages of the game. The frame that corresponds to the actual gameplay has a really involved ENTER_FRAME function attached to particular item on the stage. When the game is over (or an error occurs, or the network connection fails) I want to leave the gameplay frame and move to some other frame. When this happens, I would like the ENTER_FRAME function on the gunslinger to be removed because the player may finish a game and then re-enter the gameplay frame later after selecting a new opponent.
QUESTION: Can anyone recommend a good way to manage the keyboard event listeners, all the button event listeners, etc? As you might imagine, I have no reliable way to determine which frame might be entered after the gameplay frame because the frame change could be triggered by a variety of different reasons.

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).

If you dynamically create a parent movieclip, and dynamically add a color picker to each clip, and add an event listener for each color picker, does a removeChild on the parent movieClip remove event listeners belonging to any of it's children?

I have 2 types of relationships in my project.
-Inheritance
-Composition
I am trying to register mouse event listeners for children of my parent object (Inheritance), which works. I just need to register those for the parent and they get dissipated down the hierarchy.However, if i try it for Composition i.e. if i register the mouse event listeners on the main (parent) object, they do not act on the components of the object.So, i have to register the listeners individually on each component.how to get event registration working for composition?

I'm having problem with garbage collection in a large, not-so-well-written project that I didn't start. I am getting memory leaks -- and want to make sure that all event listeners on the offending objects are removed. I've gone through the code and done what I can, but still ain't happening -- is there a way in AS3 to take an object and see IF it has an event listener, and to REMOVE that listener -- that is, to remove ALL listeners, without knowing what they are? I know if I know what the EVENT TYPE is then I can use hasEventListener() to figure out if it has a listener of that type (although the presupposes I know all the event types being used), but if I don't know the function that it's subscribing to then I can't remove it.
Or is there some other way to simply nullify an object for GC? I've changed all listeners to weak -- but I think (since the offending objects are FLVPlaybacks) that something in the flash internal setup is still listening to my object (I've gleaned this from FB 4 profiler which I've used in external mode). I would just, at this point, like to see what's going on.

I am using Adobe Flash Professional CS4 with all the latest updates. The FLA is an Actionscript 3.0 file. I am creating a basic flash site with several pages that change when the user clicks links on a left side navigation bar. on the pages are sub tabs that change out different content(text) based on what the user clicks on the current page. when they click a button it triggers an event listener, the event listener runs its function which changes the definition of an already defined (String) variable, and the page goes on to a frame checks what that variable is and then leads the movie to the correct frame that the corresponding content is on.
here's the issue: it works perfectly the first few times, and then the event listeners stop working, first one of them, then all three once i click one of the two available. i started this site before i even knew what a class was(regretably), and all the code is on the timeline in different frames.

I've an array of movieclips created via code that have some textfields. Then i have added some listeners to the movieclips.
Here the code:
Code:
arrNot[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, titoloOver);
private function titoloOver(e:MouseEvent){
var nome:String = e.target.name;
TweenMax.to(curs,1 ,{y:contMain.getChildByName(nome).y + 23});
}
This code moves a cursor calculating the y coordinate depending the moviclip that is mouse overed. Now the movieclips have some textfields so when i mouseover the movieclips all works ok but when i mouseover the textfield i receive a #1009 error.

I want one PopUp to show up at (a lot) of different instances. And something unique has to happen linked to that instance so my thought is:
popUp.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, instance1Handler);
popUP.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, instance2Handler);
etc...

I'm trying to get a quick replay command, "pressing space returns the scene to the previous frame".
[Code]...
The current function returns me to a previous frame (40), however the event does not stop, rather it keeps on adding new events ontop of each other once it returns to main frame. The main frame being where the actionscript is executed.

I want to clone an object of a class (whose source code I do not have) and copy all of the associated event handlers from the original object to the new cloned object. Does anyone know how I can do that? I know how to copy the properties from the original to the new, but can I iterate over all the event handlers and add them to the new object?

Lately I've found myself constantly writing removeEventListeners everywhere, which makes code quite messy. I know it's a best practice and such, but in general it has no sense. Garbage collector should handle such a simple task by itself, shouldn't it? Is it that hard to remove all listeners automatically when object is set to null?
So I just want to be sure if that's the case. Does setting an object to null, automatically remove all attached event listeners? In my case scenario is like this - I create an object and attach bunch of event listeners to it, then after a while I need to re-initialize this object. Of course setting this object to null is much easier then unbinding every listener by hand. And on most part listeners are anonymous functions, which means that it's not possible without code refactoring. When I simply re-initialize a variable with new I do not get duplicate listeners and such, but I'm not sure that it's previous value, along with all the listeners gets garbage-collected. Is it?

I want to make a static function that I can use in all the custom classes.It should be some kill(); function that would remove the object from the stage as well as removing its event listeners. I made it in Document class, and it didn't work. Here's the code:

I have a movieClip on stage, inside is a dynamic textfield, and I have set mc.scaleY = 0;
Code:
mc.scaleY = 0;
mc.buttonMode = true;
mc.mouseChildren = false;
And suddenly everything above and below (on the whole stage) where the movieClip actually is receives mouse, I can see by the button mode. But it only happens with dynamic text, not static.

I am using this collapsible panel - link. Unfortunately, I have a problem using it with application states. I have a state where this panel is visible, when I switch to this state, this panel shows, when I click on it, it opens and its content shows. If I switch to another state (this panel is removed from display), and then switch back to the previous state, the collapsible panel stays open, but its content disappears. In other words, the collapsible panel's content doesn't persist through states. Anyone know what the problem is? Or is there another collapsible panel that can work around this issue?
