Flex :: Programmatically Trigger A Mx:Button Click Event?

Jun 11, 2010

Consider the following mx:Button:<mx:Button click="doSomething()" id="myButton"/>Is there some way to programmatically emulate the user clicking the button?One obvious way to do it would simply be to call doSomething() which would give the same end result as clicking the button. But I'm specifically looking for ways to emulate the click -- that is something along the lines of myButton.click() (if that should have existed).

ActionScript 3.0 :: Trigger A ComboBox Change Event Programmatically?

May 2, 2009

I have a comboBox component with a CHANGE event listener on it:

function changeFunction(event:Event):void {
trace("changed!");
}

I want to trigger that event programmatically when the comboBox first gets loaded with data. In AS 2, the syntax would be something like "dd_chapter.onChange();". How do I do it in AS 3?

Actionscript 3 :: Possible To Trigger Click Event Only / When Mouse Is Clicked On Image Part?

Mar 3, 2012

I have a problem and I have potential solution. But I wanted to confirm if there is an easy and simple way to solve my problem.App type:Isometric Game.Problem statement:I am loading images in my flash app and have mouse events attached to them.The images I load are prop images like vehicles, trees, buildings etc., and all of them are transparent.Example: Red ball asset (please ignore the yellow background which I applied to describe the problem)If I click on the actual image area (colored in red), then every thing works perfect.I don't want to trigger mouseevent when I click on empty image part (or transparent area, which I have shown in yellow color)There is one way I know by creating masks in flash. I don't want to do it unless that is the final option left because I load image assets instead of flash assets and I don't want to create a new mask asset for all the assets.There is another method I was going to adopt by using getPixel method of Bitmap.

But there is another problem with this method.I might be able to ignore the click event when I click on the empty part of the asset but if there is some other asset is behind the image in the same location, then I need to process the click event for the occluded image.Well, thinking of solution to this problem takes me to the getObjectsUnderPoint where I can scan the occluded assets

Flex :: Embedded Button.swf Does Not Fire CLICK Event?

Aug 9, 2010

i'm trying to embed a swf to my as3 flex project like this:

[Embed(source = "../assets/next_button.swf")]
[Bindable]
protected var nextButtonClass:Class;
protected var next_btn:MovieClip = next_btn = new nextButtonClass() as MovieClip;
// ...
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAdChange);

next_button.swf is as2 and created with adobe flash cs4. there is a single button inside it.

if i change type of button symbol to movieclip at next_button.fla, there is no problem at passing CLICK event.

i tried to cast next_btn to mx.controls.Button and fl.controls.Button classes, next_btn is becoming null in that case.

by the way button is reacting mouseover and click events properly just doesn't pass it to upper swf.

is there any trick i can do to pass Button events to my container swf?

Flex :: LinkBar Button / Label Click Event Transition

Jun 12, 2009

I have created a linkbar with two labels. Now, I need to keep a track of the label clicks.i.e. If in the beginning "First" is clicked, the details will be displayed. After that, if without submitting the details, "Second" is clicked then an alert message should come to inform the user that "First is still in progress, do you want to cancel and begin Second operation". Vice-versa for Second to First transition. I need to know how to write events to keep track of which button clicked.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Want Enter Key In Inputbox Trigger Button Click

Dec 19, 2006

I have a stripped down FLA here: [URL]

where if you click the button, a label saying "Button clicked" will display. This was accomplished using the following actionscript attached to the button...

on(release) {
display._visible =true;
}

Now I want to make it so that when the enter key is pressed in the edit field, the same thing happens.

On the button actionscript, I have used ...

on (keyPress "<Enter>") {
display._visible = true;
}

But does not work.

IDE :: Auto-trigger Button Event?

Mar 12, 2009

i have a question, back in AS2 era, if i have an MC on the stage with function as below

mc.onRelease = function() {
trace("RELEASED");
};

i can actually add in another line

mc.onRelease()which will trigger my button event without me actually clicking on it.

I was wondering how can i achieve the same effect in as3?

because i am building a website, and i want the 1st button to trigger itself after it is created on stage.

Flex :: Programmatically Firing Event Listeners

Nov 10, 2011

I would like to programatically fire an event on a spark checkbox. I have a tab bar which has tabs enabled according to various checkboxes. I am loading data into these tabs. Sometimes tabs 1 and 2 will be enabled. Other times tabs 2 and 3. Other times tab 4 by itself (and all the other combinations). I have tried to enable the VBox (in action script) which is in my view stack but it seems to freeze the application. The VBox enables correctly upon user input on the check box. If I set the checkbox to be selected it does not fire the event and so does not enable the tab.

Is it possible to manually fire an event in Flex. I have tried to see if I can take the checkbox and get the event and fire it. Unfortunately I can only see addEventListener, hasEventLister and removeEventListener. There is no way of getting the events that are already on the checkbox

Unable To Trigger Dynamic Button Event In Full_Screen Mode?

Mar 6, 2009

I have a movie clip button with a dynamic text field inside. I am loading the mc dynamically to the stage. In Full_Screen mode static buttons including the full screen button work without a problem, but the dynamic button event does not trigger when clicked. In this simplified code belwo the dynamic button when clicked should change its message to "You have clicked button 1". This works in normal mode, but not in Full screen.I tried btn_cuePt_1.enabled= true; but without success.

Does it have something to do with not using the fullscreen events?
exp. stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, s_function)

Structure of my button is: Think of it as three layers inside a movie_clip. I used an empty button on the top layer so I would get a pointer cursor, I used a dynamic textfield the one that should change after the event to "You have clicked button 1", and last but not least the button graphic.

as3 Code

PHP Code:

//global variables
var btn_cuePt_1; 
//file definitions

ActionScript 3.0 :: Swfaddress Back And Forward Button Do Not Trigger Event?

Jul 28, 2009

[URL]

when the menu items are clicked it calls the SWFAddress.setValue( ); which changes the address bar and triggers the event listener: SWFAddress.addEventListener( SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE, swfAddressChange );

this is visible by the textbox in the upper left hand corner, it changes to reflect the value. But when you click the back button, the event SWFAddressEvent.CHANGE is not set off and the result is the textbox staying with the previous value.

as you can see from the html code, the flash Object has an ID, the swfaddress javascript is imported after swfobject. ( using swfobject2.1, swfaddress 2.3 )

Professional :: Use Keyboard Events To Trigger A Button Rollover Event Instead Of A Mouse?

Jun 1, 2010

I created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed);
function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"scene");
}

Trigger ItemEditEnd Event In Flex List When CheckBox Is Checked / Unchecked?

Jun 30, 2009

I have a List component that has drop-in CheckBox itemEditor that also serves as the itemRenderer. It displays each item as a simple CheckBox with a label.

However, the itemEditEnd Event does not get triggered until I click on something outside of the List. I want it triggered once the CheckBox is checked or unchecked.

I was thinking of manually dispatching the ListEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END in a CLICK Event handler, but then the itemEditEnd Event would get dispatched twice. There's gotta be a better way to do this.
