How I can detect a click on the border of a canvas, not its contents?.I am aware that I can validate ranges event.mouseX (Y),but my canvas has rounded corners and in some cases appears to be a circle,is there any way of knowing if the border of the canvas is under the pointer?I have:
Canvas.setStyle ("borderColor", 0xFF0000);
Canvas.setStyle ("borderStyle", "solid");
Canvas.setStyle ("BorderThickness", 10);
In flex, I am using
canvasEdit.setStyle("borderColor", 0x0134FF);
canvasEdit.setStyle("borderThickness", 3);
note: canvasEdit is of type Canvas.
But I am not able to put border on the sides of canvas.
I'm trying to detect overlap between elements on my canvas. The attempt is to reuse some of the code for collision detection at [URL]
This is the smallest MXML sample I could come up with that gives me a type error.

I am trying to detect when the mouse leaves a canvas. I know about the MOUSE_LEAVE, but this seems to only be valid for the stage, not Canvas objects. P.S. I have tried the mous-out, but, for some reason, that event keeps getting triggered everytime I move the mouse. I should probably point out that I have used the Mouse.hide() and replaced the cursor with a custom cursor.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way I can have JavaScript/jQuery know when a Flash object has been clicked (and still have Flash process the click)?
I tried putting a table on top of the object with position: fixed and a z-index and the object set to param name='wmode' value='transparent' so I could have my JavaScript detect which column was clicked using jQuery's click(), but the clicks were never intercepted by JavaScript (Chromium Linux).
I have built a simple Flash application that will be presented using a projector, the application will show messages in the form of questions that will come from a simple flat-file text file or XML file.
In addition to this I would also like to be able to add my own messages using a simple HTML form.
I've been looking around the web for some resources, but have been struggling to find what I am looking for. The basic idea is that the flash application will loop through these different messages from the XML, but then when a user types in a message that will also appear within these messages. Think of it as a sort of dynamic tag cloud.
In my application one Datagrid and down one Canvas is there.
I have a DataGrid with Data. When i select the data in the Data grid, the focus is displayed in the canvas. In the canvas i have a chart component.so when i select the link data on the datagrid the focus should be in the chart component in the canvas.

I'm making some elearning courses and we are trying to combine semi-automation with the ability to place artwork and content on the timeline. Basically we have a series of small tasks -- read this, click this button, see the result, and so on. We have a "highlight" area component that indicates the area a user is to click. Currently that component dispatches and event from the instance when it is clicked and the main timeline is listening for the event and then moves them ahead to the next task when they have clicked properly.
So the following code:
myClickAreaInstance.addEventListener("clicked",handleClick)
And the handleClick function and removing the listener all has to be handled on the timeline. And for a given task there might be an intro animation and the click area component might not come in until the end. So where to put that code and how to automate it becomes tricky. So I first dug up AsBroadcaster and could use it sort of like Mouse or Key classes.
AsBroadcaster.initialize(ClickArea)
ClickArea.addListener(this);
function clicked(obj){
//handle click broadcast
[Code] .....
Would it be better to us AsBroadcaster or EventDispatcher?

I'm building a flash app that has some draggable buttons on it and I want them to behave like this:
You click on it, ClickEvent1 happens, You click and hold on the button, you can move it. If you release from the hold, it does NOT trigger the ClickEvent
I'm running into the logic problem of not knowing whether a user is just clicking or starting a drag event. Does anyone know any logic to get around this issue? I have thought of alternatives such as placing regions of the button that are only draggable or only clickable, but I've seen this type of functionality in other flash apps and I'm wondering how it is accomplished.

Basically I want to go to frame2 when the cursor leaves the canvas. The code below contains no errors when tested but it still does not work.
[Code]...
We know that the function gotoAndStop(frame2); works in multiple situations which means the first 3 line is fine. I don't know if the problem is the MOUSE_LEAVE event or this.stage which i suppose is the identifier for the canvas. I sure that there must be an alternative code for the identifier this.stage or the whole code. Any solution on how to fire the given function in the event when the cursor leaves the canvas?
