Flash :: Return Array From Event Listener?
Feb 6, 2010
I have an event listener applied to an xml load and it currently traces out the values it grabs which is fine, but what I want it to do is return an array for me to use. I have the Array creation and return working from "LoadXML" (it returns the array) but I can't get this to work with an event listener.The event listener runs the "LoadXML" function fine, but I have no idea how to take the returned array for use, this is an example of how my event listener works right now:xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());and my assumption of how I would take the array (this doesn't work):var rArray:Array = xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());so instead I tried the following:
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function():Array{
var rData:Array = LoadXML(datahere);
return rData;

I can't think of a way to write a function that returns an object that is loaded from an external swf. I need to be able to make a function that waits for an event listener before returning the value. I want to be able to create objects that can load in external swfs with minimal and no redundant code.
Here is the over all logic of my function:
Code:
//First create an object and set it to function that loads in an external file
var MaskFrames:Object = loadFile(parentObjectName, "swfs/", "file.swf");
//Create the function that returns the loaded swf as an object

I am trying to write functions as efficient and reusable as possible. One function in particular I wrote was designed to easily create new objects from externally loaded files. The problem I have is that I can't think of a way to make the function wait for an event listener to complete before returning the desired object. Here is what I have so far and I will point out where the problem is.
Code:
var myNewObj:Object = loadFile(parentName, "swfs/" , "file.swf");
function loadFile(parentObj:Object, urlLocation:String, fileName:String):Object{
var fileLoader:Loader = new Loader();

I got a question that is driving me crazy. I have a DIRECTORY_LISTING event, that is executed with the files in a directory. This code is n a method o a class that only does the return a array with this informations (the code is above). How can I add a return of this array on a method in the DocumentClass that invoke and receive this value?

I want to know how i can add an event listener to every item of an array.I know I can do it like this
Code: Select allvar stuff:Array = [MC1, MC2, MC3, MC4]
for (var i:Number = 0; i < stuff.length(); i++)[code].........
But it occurred to me; after coding for loop after for loop, that there must be some way to use the forEach(), or every() method to accomplish the same thing.

I have an subclass that is called from the constructor of the main class. The subclass is loading and parsing a .xml file for images. A Event Listener is waiting for the .xml file to load and the fill the image URL's into an array. This code works fine (tested), but here is my problem.
While the subclass is called in the constructor, I also have code that should display two of the loaded images by default. However, while the xml file is parsing and filling the array, the main code already continues on and tries to display the two default images on the stage. But this causes the program to break, because the code executes before the array is filled from the .xml file.
this is the error the program spits out : TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.using trace I see that it is trying to access the array but its undefined, because it hasnt been filled yet.
Here are the code snippets, concerning that problem.
//Main class code
//the constructor of the main code, which calls the loader class for the .xml
public function GameOfGames()
{
[code]....
Is there any way to make the code in the main class wait for the array to finish filling up before the main code moves on?

I've been lookign around for this but cant seem to find how to do it. How do you make a array of buttons then call it in a event listener? The idea is that I don't have to creat code for each button. it can just run it over for each button.

I am trying to learn JavaScript and I am wondering whether JavaScript has a event listener just like ActionScript's ENTER_FRAME. Basically, I want this event listener to listen "all the time" not just wait for any particular instance (mouse click, keyboard event) of event.

it loads an external .swf file and is supposed to play it. I've added an event listener to run when the file is loaded. The function it calls moves the video to the bottom most layer so the buttons still show and then plays the file. The problem is the event listener never triggers.

I have a method which registers an event listener to each of the MovieClips in an array I have. The method is inside a class, and so is the listener function. The problem is, I'm getting an error that's says "Access of undefined property handleNavToggle", even though is declared.

if I have an event listerner (mouse, keyboard, enterframe,....event) that is being triggered, and when it finishes its event, something that is able to detect the finished event listener and fire out another sets of event.
It works more like MOTION_FINISH in TweenEvent, but it is only available for TweenEvent only, what if I want to detect a mousclick, keyboard, enterframe or even touch event?

My stage has about 25 buttons on it. Each button when pressed to tweens the background to some random x/y coordinates and then loads an external swf file.This is all working, but the timing is off. How can I wait for the initial background tween to end before I make the loader call to the .swf file.Currently each button's behavior is called on the MouseEvent.CLICK event which calls a function that knows its unique filename.swf. I know you can add the MOTION_FINISH even to the tween event but then I would have to call a new function and lose track of the button that initially called it.

I'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.

I need an event listener which is global so when every content is loaded a function fires up and function places this content. I've tried
stage.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,function(evt:Event){placeem(evt, "stgW","stgH")});
but that's not right, gives me errors

I'm thinking of making a movieclip which stops itself at certain points (just with stop(); at certain keyframes in the movieclip timeline), then the user is prompted to continue the clip.
What is the best why to listen for the stopping of the movieclip? I think I want an event listener that detects when the movieclip is stopped, but I don't know if there is one.

Say I have the following function
Code:

do some stuff....
}
but i want to call it from the event listener
Code: button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,myVideoFunction);
I cant because it runs off a VideoEvent, not a MouseEvent.The obvious work around is to copy and paste the function and rename this part, or alternativly just make a function such as:
Code:
button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,callMyVideoFunction);
function callMyVideoFunction (event:MouseEvent) {
myVideoFunction(null);[code].....

Code:
trace("Hello!");
I'm up late coding and I've come to a halt here's why:
I'm looking (desperately) for something that will explain why my "public class marquePage" is not working properly. I don't have access to the actual file right now - on a friend's computer - but i'll try and make this clear, here it goes :
Code:
// example : (having declared the namespaces at package level and embedded the pictures in separate classes "photosMP", etc)
public var ceNom:Namespace;
public var cetteListe:Array = [photos, dessins, livres, maous];
[Code].....
Somehow, the event listener doesn't want to know about namespaces... in fact, everything comes up ok except that when you click on any of the bookmarks (cetMP), nothing happens at all
