I'm developing an app that use swf to load elements and add properties to the loaded swf. I use SWFLoader to load the movie and on the COMPLETE event i move the loaded MovieClip to a specific frame and then list its DisplayList. I've discovered that if i traverse the list soon it's note loaded. [code]...

View 3 Repliesi've not tried to do anything odd with eventListeners up until now. i have a movieclip with multiple frames that i use AS to attach a textfield to it. problem is i have a eventlistener for when the mouse rollsover the movieclip to go to frame 3 of the movieclip.

what's causing the textfield to suddenly take precedence and how do i stop it. when i trace the evt.target - it is my movieclip.
I have purchased a flash cursor (.fla) with nice sparkling effects while a cursor is being moved.

View 1 RepliesI'm building a video player that run's FLVs and cannot overcome the fact that flex foes not fire the metadataReceived event sometimes. Sometimes it does and sometimes it does not. Therefore the total time of the FLV remains -1. I understand its a known bug , I'm researching about it for a long time now , but could not find a good workaround by now, found one that says to set the buffer time to 0 and try that, but it's also does not work.

View 2 RepliesI have a bunch of SWFS from a third party tool that I am loading into an MC called "_root.dropzone". I want to be able to tell flash to move to a frame label in my main movie when that loaded MC has played the last frame but I have no idea how to do this. I don't have the FLAs for the swfs otherwise i'd just add code into the last frame. Here's what I am using:
if (_root.dropzone._currentframe == 1521)) {
_root.gotoAndPlay("s_2");
}
This doesn't seem to be working as flash jumps to "s_2" immediately...
I have flash project (ActionScript 3), which has a several frames. Each frame contains some unique controls (buttons, textInputs, etc) with unique ids. I want to add event listeners to these controls:
this.gotoAndStop(2);
trace(AddResource); //null !!!
AddResource.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,AddRes); // Error
I don't know, how to define time, when AddResource will be loaded, after gotoAndStop. I tried to use setTimeout - it works sometimes and makes unwanted delays. So it is bad idea, in my opinion. Each frame has a lot of controls, they might be changed in future - so, I don't want to use this way (Get MovieClip in another frame). If it is possible, I want to keep ActionScript code in *.as files, not on timeline (flash cs5: when I change frames in a movieclip, event listeners pointed to one object in the previous frame are removed).
I have a Movie Clip, and I need to stop the movie when it's reaches a certain frame. To do this, I need to add an event listener that will dispatch when that specific movie clip enters a new frame (as opposed to the whole animation ENTER_FRAME).
bar.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, function(e:Event) {
var b:MovieClip = MovieClip(e.currentTarget);
if(b.currentFrame == mp.getPopularity())
b.stop();
});
I'm having trouble figuring out how to create onRollover handlers for movieclips loaded with loadClip. I can attach event handlers to the container clip, but not the child clips within it (the grandchildren). I'm using MX2004 / AS2.The parent clip just doesn't seem to "see" any grandchildren. It doesn't seem to be a paths issue, and I'm working in an onLoadComplete function to make sure everything's loaded first. The goal is to be able to change what happens on rollover with data pulled in (via Flash remoting) to the parent clip.
View 5 RepliesI am loading a set of thumbnail images from an array [hard coded] into a movieclip symbol on the stage. I have two arrays with the thumbnail and the full size image having the same index number. In many examples, "event.currentTarget.contentLoaderInfo.url" returns the full path to the image selected. i just want the index number. Adobe does not make is easy to figure out what other properties are available to me from the contentLoaderInfo. Is 'SelectedIndex' or something like that available?

Is there any method so that I can find the List of Label in given Loaded MovieClip. I am working on a system that dynamically load SWF from other developers, since these developers has choice, they put some labels in their script. However it is upto them to use any combination of given label, so that, say one developer make labels
Inanimation, OutAnimation, Endanimation
While other make
OutAnimation,endanimation
And third make InAnimation, Endanimation
So when my script load it should read the label on their MC so it can take action accordingly. We are not sure what Frame number they put label, and we cannot change their SWF anyways. The solution I know is I check through their FrameLabels and then take action if XXX frame exists.
How do I make an event listener that will tell my movieclip to gotoAndPlay a different frame if x is < than 100?

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)
View 0 Repliesdetect current frame number of a movie clip inside a loaded external swf?
its like this, i have a main swf, lets call it "loader_swf", inside the loader_swf i create a movie clip called "holder_mc" which loads an external swf, lets call it "ex_swf". The ex_swf has a movie clip in frame 2 which is the main animation of ex_swf. Is it possible to get the current frame number of the movie clip holding the animation on frame 2? the only thing i know is to get the current frame of main timeline of ex_swf.
Anyone knows if there's a way of calling an specific frame or movieclip from a loaded xml file?

I've been looking and googling and i havent found any solution to this.
View 1 RepliesSo I'm trying to build a tool that will allow me and other users to all open the same .swf, and then I as the Admin user am able to interact with mine while they all see my mouse movements and button clicks etc on theirs.I'm using BlazeDS to manage this and I'm getting data sent back and forth etc - no difficulties there. The issue I'm running into is this:
In an "Admin" instance, I click a button. I capture that X and Y, then tell Blaze to tell my clients to dispatch a Click event at that X and Y. On my client side, I get that data and dispatch a Click event at that X and Y - but the click is actually caught at the stage level. The click on my client side takes place UNDER all of my buttons and other content - so the whole thing fails.Is there a way to tell it to start the click event at the top?
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've a Flex application which loads a Flash swf via SWF loader; the Flash swf is in AS3. the flash swf has code to dispatchEvent a Text Event
Flash Code:
var re:TextEvent = new TextEvent(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT,true,true);
Flex Code:
<mx:SWFLoader source="menu.swf" id="mnu" complete="menuLoaded(event)" />
private var mySwfMve:MovieClip;

I don't see any TextEvents being dispatched from Flash. They are not seen in the debug trace.. I can capture enter frame events however.

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.

View 1 RepliesI have a small flash site made up of a number of pages all on the one timeline.
The query is this. When i release a button i want the timeline to roll on for x frames (fading components out) before going to the frame that button links to (The beginning of the new page).
I have no idea what AS to use for this.
No matter where in the timeline you are, the button should fade out that area and then skip to a new one.

View 1 RepliesI hava a custom component and it contains a child icon. If I add a mouse-click event listener to both component(click-listener1) and icon(click-listener2), the event dispatched sequence is click-listener2, then click-listener1. I can understand it. But if I add a custom event to component (listener1), and mouse-click event to icon(listener2), when icon is clicked, the component will dispatch the custom event. In my test, the event dispatched sequence is listener1, then listener2. It doesn't match with event-bubbles rule.
In my opinion The custom event is dispatched in listener2, which triggers listener1. Why event flow sequence is not listener2, listener1?
In component.
