It seems more efficient to store events on the dispatcher if they're never going to change. Isn't creating them costly? Is there some kind of information I'm losing if I dispatch an already-stored event?
View 1 RepliesI have an <mx:Application> which contains a <mx:Module>. This module has several child modules. It also has some an instance of a class I have created. I am trying to have a method of this class dispatch an event that can be "heard" by the module and handled. This isn't happening.To be more clear, I am using 'dispatchEvent' to from inside a class method.There is an instance of this class in: mx.core.Application.myapplication.mymodule.myclassIt is the 'myclass.somefunction' that dispatches the event. I have a listener registered in 'mymodule'. Nothing happens when the function/method runs, however.
View 1 RepliesI am working on an flash application that requires that all user interaction are stored in a database. The application will have thousands of lessons and needs to keep track of how long each user views lessons and scenes with in the lessons.
I would like to come up with a good solution on how to accomplish this with out having to send a call to a serve side object every few seconds. I could store the data in an as3 object and pass it when the user finishes a scene or exits out of a scene. However this would not work when a user just closes the browser. Maybe I could tie in some JavaScript.
I have two separate advancedDataGrid instances (let's call them A and B). What I'd like to do: when clicking on grid A. I'd like:
for grid A to handle the click normally (i.e. default advancedDataGrid behavior)
for grid B to receive a click event a certain location and handle such event using advancedDataGrid default behavior (i.e. without having to write a handler for such click).
I've managed to dispatchEvent a MouseEvent.CLICK to grid B and to handle such event by creating an event listener, but really I'd like for grid B to handle the event on its own (i.e. without having to re-rewrite a handler), and that doesn't seem to be the case. Is MouseEvent.CLICK even the right event?

i have been trying to figure our the dispatchEvent system in as3. But am just not able to wrap my head around it. So can someone please explain and give me an example on how to dispatch custom events?
for eg: Here i just want to disptach event every 100ms and the event should give me the value of "a" .
Code:
package com
{
import flash.utils.Timer;

I'm still trying to get my head around the best way to structure event flows. Someone made a lot of sense by telling me that contained objects should be decoupled from their parent containers so they're reusable between containers. Instead of calling their parent's function, they dispatch an event. Sensible! I recently myself in the awkward-feeling situation of dispatching an event on a contained object, from its parent. It seems more intuitive for an object to be the one dispatching its own events. Maybe I'm bordering on breaking the Law of Demeter? Example of what I'm doing: child.dispatchEvent(new ChildEvent(ChildEvent.IM_BEING_A_CHILD)); Am I correct in feeling strange here, or is it a normal thing for one object to dispatch another object's events?
View 1 RepliesSo, events bubble up the display list. That's great if that's what you want. But what if you have objects on the stage that are not related that need to listen for events from each other? A simplified example:
var objA = new ObjA;
addChild(objA);
var objB = new ObjB;
[Code]....
Object B can listen for events dispatched by object C. But I also need object A to listen for events dispatched by object C. Also, these objects are created in different classes so I can't hard code references to each other.
I stumbled upon and interesting problem concerning spark's VideoDisplay-Component. It seems that it doesn't dispatch DoubleClick-Events. For better understanding look at the following code:

The Click-Event works for both components. But the DoubleClick-Event is only handled by the Panel-Component.
I noticed that the Object.watch and Object.unwatch methods are gone in actionscript 3.
I've tried to find alternatives but the event system doesn't dispatch events when properties change, There is a data binding system but I think that's just for Flex.
Does anyone know what (if any) the alternative is?
Imagine you have a MC used as a container for several other MC's used as buttons.Now, should I use the class of the container to listen for and to dispatch events. OrShould I create a seperate class for each MC inside of the container to listen for and to dispatch events.
In summary: One class for all, or several smaller classes dedicated to their respective MC.How far should one go with abstraction?.
I was just wondering whether it was possible to perform a function after a period of time.like +2 to hp every 6 seconds.
View 2 RepliesI have a live chart. I need to refresh the chart with 5 seconds time interval.
For displaying the live chart i disptach the event (myEvent) extends cairngormevent.
And after 5 seconds , the same event has to dispatch again adn get the data to display thelie cart.
And how the event dispatch after 5 seconds with out any manula call..?
Every time a user takes a new line (i.e each time they press the return/enter key) when typing in a textArea, I would like the textArea to dispatch an event.I can then listen for this event and then carry out some processing on the textArea's contents.

I'm trying to implement a binary protocol between a flash application and a Custom Java Server using TCP/IP sockets, the protocol's messages are of variable length, so my idea is to add a field indicating the number of bytes I have to read before parsing a complete message, something like this:[code]if while processing a message (supossing it is complete) other data arrives through the socket, are messages of type ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA queued so the number of times my handler is called is equal (at least in this case) to the number of messages arrived or should I read until all data the socket has available? or simpler: are in general messages for a handler queued in flash?

My app has buttons that users press to insert predefined strings into a textarea. I'm now making it load in the button values dynamically so users can define their own buttons.I'm using a buttons.txt which contains a different label on each line (button1, button2,button3 etc). I loop through the text file and add the buttons to a group. This all works, but now the hard part. How can I assign an eventlistener to these buttons so that they output text to the screen?

Its seems a problem I am having is to do with setIntervals in a while loop. I clear what seems to be the interval but as another interval is started before the last one finish I then have multiple intervals. I can close them all down with this...
for (i= checkImage;i>0;i--){
trace("clearInterval(checkImage) " +i);
clearInterval(i);}
But that ofcourse closes the rest down before they have done what I need.
I think my while loop needs to change? Here is the current while loop code....
function loadImages(){
while (imageWidthList[leftPictureNumber+imagesDisplayed] > 0 and xPosition +(imageWidthList[leftPictureNumber+imagesDisplayed]+(borderThickness*3)) < 700) {
var img_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
linkLayer = this.createEmptyMovieClip("link"+(leftPictureNumbe r+imagesDisplayed), _root.getNextHighestDepth());
[Code] .....
Is there a way that straight after the setInterval and the loadClip the function watchMyImageLoad is run to completion before continuing in the while loop. What I have seen is that the while loop continues until the condition has been met and then all the intervals are run?
I am making a game similar to Touhou in style to learn AS3, but this game is timed to music. Bullet patterns, enemy spawning and special graphics will all be timed to happen at specific times in the music. What I am wondering is:What is the best way to accurately time many(!) events that are required to be very accurate and not slip even a tiny bit out of sync? Example of what sort of timing I am looking:
Spawn 5 different types of enemy's at 1:30 minutes, enemy 1 bullet pattern start at 1:31, bullet pattern will be timed to beat so repeat pattern every 2 seconds. This is a simple and short example of what I am trying to get at.
