I'm trying to make a global eventListener. Everything works fine, the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN fires all the time .. except the cases when the textInput has a focus.Here's how I attach listener:
FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.systemManager.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler, true);I've tried both (use capture and without it).
I've developed a component which is a combination of a few items (canvas, labels, etc...) but when I try to bind it to a variable such as: {stationXML.getItemAt(1).AAA.@value}, it doesnt work. Before I combined all the items in a component, they were all in the main MXML file at which time they worked. Not sure if it matters, but the "stationXML" arraycollection variable is declared inside the file "Station.as".

I've wrote a custom itemrenderer for a List component (Flex 3.5) which is a VBox with a Label and a TextArea wrapped inside. All works fine so far but I want the TextArea in the first itemrenderer to receive focus so that it instantly becomes editable when tabbing onto the List. Is that possible and if how would I achieve this?
I've already added an event listener that selects the item at index 0 but the textArea in it should also be focussed at that moment _list.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onListFocusIn);
private function onListFocusIn(e:FocusEvent):void
{
_list.selectedIndex = 0;
}
I have a movie placed on stage (on first frame of Timeline) and an Event.ENTER_FRAME EventListener inside the movie, when I click a button on stage that takes me to 2nd frame, I want to remove the Event Listener inside the movie. How can that be done.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a fairly simple website entirely in flash. I have navigation on the left (Home, and Shapes) and when you click on Shapes, two things change: my main content called mcContent (which is a movieClip) changes to its second frame (called shapes) and you see a few shapes. Below the main content is another movieclip called mcBottom which does something similar, goes to it's second frame (called shapes) and you see two shapes, a red and green square.The problem is that I want the user to be able to click the red square and have the red square movieclip called mcRed go to it's second frame (called mcRedContent) but it doesn't work. I believe it has something to do with the hierarchy of my objects but I can't seem to figure it out. The error that I get when compiling is:Code:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.at trouble_fla::mcBottom_4/frame1()Here is a link to the fla:

View 1 RepliesReading a book i stumbled on this example:
Here is the class:
package com.learningactionscript3.loading {
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
[Code]....
What I deduce from this example is that the swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo and _ldrInfo = this.contentLoaderInfo refer to the same object in the same memory location. So you may think: "well the last added event will overwrite the first one (the internally one added). But it doesn't. The two event listeners will respond sequentially. First the internal listener and then the external listener.
I have an AS3 function that runs when a URLRequest fails. I need to be able to use this function to assign global variables that I can then check against using other functions. How do I assign global variables inside of a function?
Edit:This is the variable (soundFile2Exist) I am trying to get outside of my function:
function onIOError(e:IOErrorEvent):void
{
var soundFile2exist = null;[code]...............
I have a primary function that calls upon other functions, which call upon other functions, etc, each one creating different objects. I need to delete everything eventually and was thinking the easiest way to do this would be to have a global array to push() each object into. It would be easy to just put garbageArray.push(thisCreatedObject); into the for() loops of every function to grab all the objects so a deleteFunction() could just cycle through garbageArray to remove and null everything cleanly.
What I want to do:I could easily just create a global array to do this (code example 1), but I would prefer to be able to recreate this global array and delete it every time this primary function is called (code example 3) since it will be called upon a lot. It would be cleaner code to have it created from within the function as opposed to outside of it because I will have a lot of primary functions doing similar things that would require a global array like this.
I also know I could create one and simply pass it as an argument to every function (code example 2), but I would have to pass it to every single function. There are a lot of functions and a lot of calls to them, so this would require rewriting a lot of code and would be more work than it's worth. Making a global array outside of the function would be easier than doing this if it came down to it.
ActionScript Code:
//example 1 of global array. No passing as argument from
//primary to secondary functions. Multiple global arrays
//required for multiple primary functions in the future.

View 1 RepliesThe entire box at the top is a Flex application. The box on the left with the list of pinball machines is a VBox. As you can see, if you try to scroll with your mousewheel, it doesnt respond. The reason this is shut off is because I found that if it's turned on, when you scroll up/down, the whole page goes with it. So if you scroll down four or five times, the application goes out of sight.I tried finding a solution to this when I programmed this last year but wasnt able to find any answers.if there's a way to make Flex grab the focus of the mousewheel and not let the browser move as well?

I'm trying to do something with eventListeners, but i still do a lot of messy code, so wanted help of those who already know flex.
I'm have a DataGrid, and its itens are added by another component, no problems with that.
I have buttons to Add, Remove and Edit the items inside the DataGrid. No problem with that too.
But i want those button to be enabled when the DataGrid as at least one item, and when it doesn't as any, all three buttons should be disabled.
EDIT: Forgot to say: I think eventListeners are the best way.
I am working in air application , i need to know how to add event listener when any object is updated,how can i implement this.Example:i have Class name Vehicle, and child class are Car,Bus,Bikes,Scooter,..etc, child class also have many properties like color,model no,....etc
I have array collection and AddChild() method in Vehicle class by this, i will add, child class to the vehicle class.I need a event listener which can trigger if any of the property is updated or changed in any of the child class property, how can i implements this in Flex3.
I'm trying to remove an eventlistener on (in this specific case) a HorizontalList. The list is initialized with the property itemRollOver="playPreview(event)" I'd like to remove this eventListener by switching state and stating something like: <mx:SetEventHandler target="{horList}" name="itemRollOver" handlerFunction="null" />
This doesn't seem to work. The event is still handled and playPreview(event:ListEvent) is still called. How to properly do this? (I know I can do it in Actionscript, but I specifically want to do it by means of state switching)
How can i trigger an event for the scaleX property change of the movieClip or Sprite in Flash AS 3.
View 1 RepliesI am using modules in flex, to build different parts of my webapp. What I need now, is a way these modules can communicate with each other on events. What really is happening is ,that there is a central module, which then will take care of loading other modules and passing data to and fro. But, coding for each part to delegate events to each of these loaded modules from the central module and back would be a big nightmare.
What I really want to do is have a global event bus for it. Are there any specific libraries, already existing for such a process. Also, I would be using MVC, so it should also take care between events form the model to the view and vice-a-versa.
