Basic Actionscript question: mouse listener ROLL OVER event

Hello-

This is a very basic question, but I can't seem to find an answer. I have a mouse over the event and have created the buttons with the mouse overs which works very well. I created the actionscript code to go to a specific web page when a user clicks the button. Now, I need to add a label to the mouse more then when someone of the mouse on any area of the button, it will show them a particular name for the button.

I'm sure it can be done using actionscript in a mouse event run on command, but I can't understand what I need to display the text. Here is where I am:

community_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.Roll_Over, showmsg);

function showmsg(evtObj:MouseEvent):void

{

}

Thank you!

If you want the text to follow the mouse, you can have a movieclip that contains the textfield object is empty, and when you rollover the button, the function of turning tells that movieclip to take the x and y position of the mouse (mouseX and mouseY) and fills this movieclip with the appropriate text.  Roll off the button removes the text, making the invisible text movieclip.

If you want the text to have a background, you could also control the visible from the movieclip property so that it appears on rolling and disappears when you deploy.

Thus, in the reversal function, assuming that you had this ToolTip named MC... "toolTip", soimething this might work for you

toolTip.x = mouseX;  could add a little space if you want, for example: mouseX + 5;

toolTip.y = mouseY;

toolTip.visible = true;

toolTip.tField.text = 'text ';

And implementation code to would have to deal with the last two lines.

  • Why add a listener for an Event object?

    Hello


    I just read something that I do not understand in a book and, of course, I need help...


    stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, clicSouris);

    function clicSouris (pEvt:MouseEvent): void
    {
    var positionX:Number = pEvt.stageX;
    var positionY:Number = pEvt.stageY;
    monDessin.graphics.moveTo (positionX, positionY);
    pEvt.currentTarget.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, bougeSouris);
    }

    function bougeSouris (pEvt:MouseEvent): void
    {
    var positionX:Number = pEvt.stageX;
    var positionY:Number = pEvt.stageY;
    monDessin.graphics.lineTo (positionX, positionY);
    pEvt.updateAfterEvent ();
    }


    My question is what appens when I add an event listener for the event of the object? And why it does this?


    Following the logic with the AS3 display list, I thought that only Classes that inherit from flash.display.InteractiveObject might react to events from mouse (or keyboard).


    You can subscribe itself in any event an event? Am I wrong?


    Can someone explain to me this point because I'm really confused!


    Thank you!

    Basically function clicSouris is in itself an event listener and has pEvt as event event object argument.

    When you call .currentTarget pEvt it refers to the current object where the pEvt event is dispatched.

    Event.target and Event.currentTarget will always return the interactive objects where the event is currently being distributed.

  • How to make a text box appear in a PDF file in InDesign CC when the cursor rolls over another area of text?

    I'm doing a text box appears in a PDF document in InDesign when the cursor of the user hovers over an another textbox, and I want it to disappear when the cursor moves off the coast of the first text box. I tried the following with adjustment of various, and it does everything just for me.

    Display a different button on turnover

    You can create a hotspot in which clicking or mousing over an object contains another object. To do this, create two buttons, hide one of the buttons and use the show/hide button action to show and hide the button target.

    • Create an object to use as the "source" button. In the buttons Panel, click the icon of the object to convert to A button.

    • Place the image you want to use as the button target and convert it to a button.

    • Select the target image and select hidden until this that triggered at the bottom of the Panel buttons.

      The image must be hidden in the exported document that can be displayed when the "source" button is clicked or wriggle on.

    • Click the source button and create two different actions, one for show the image target and target the other to hide the image.

      If you want the image to appear when the mouse is over the button source, use events on Roll Over and On Roll Off. If you want the image to appear when you click on the source button and disappear when you release, use events on a click and release. In both cases, use the show/hide action buttons to show or hide the target button. See the interactive buttons.

    • Use the Preview Panel to test the buttons.

    Should work...  On your last point (not 12?) I get the feeling that you have exported your doc as Adobe PDF (Print)? You must instead use (Interactive) Adobe PDF...

  • Question of the order of events and functions

    Hello

    Sorry for the stupid question, but I'm working on something big and I would hate a small rock to thow me off in the end.

    So here it is:

    I not know how to operate the functions-> if you have:

    function function1() {}

    function3();

    }

    function function2() {}

    }

    function function3() {}

    }

    function1();

    function2();

    First runs function1 and function2 and function3. Is simple baptisms the function1 + everything it has nested functions again from the top to the bottom, then function2 etc.

    OK, so now I have this situation:

    If you have an INTERNAL component that is in the MAIN component. If you addEventListener (FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, test) inside of the INSIDE (class of the function of construction in my case) and also add the same event listener once again inside but the MAIN ingredient such as:

    public void main_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void {}

    inner.addEventListener (FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, test);

    addElement (inner);

    }

    Then you will have 2 event for the same event listeners. First one written to the INNER component will run, and then it will run in the MAIN component.

    Now if I set many many functions in INNER creationCompleteHandler, will all 100% complete before the creationCompleteHandler to HAND work?

    As I tested it, it looks like each treatment must be 100% made to the INNER creationCompleteHandler before it passes to the creationCompleteHandler of HAND.

    Can someone confirm that flash/flex works like that? Thank you!

    Hi Alex, guys,.

    so, I would like to summarize the question and if we can just say Yes or I guided even what is Yes, then there is no confusion

    Here are 2 scenarios:

    1) 2 headphones are added to the same same thing e.g. CREATION_COMPLETE - one for the component and the other to the container.

    It works like this:

    un) pane-> creationCompleteHandler starts to perform its functions/activities

    b) containing-> creationCompleteHandler starts to perform its functions/activities

    The question here is: will a) be 100% full before before flash moves to b) or b) could happen sometimes some time one) is running?

    Note: Yes this means a) will be 100% complete bofore b) occurs.

    2) for the second scenario allows to take 2 different events INITIALIZE and the FlexEvent CREATION_COMPLETE and add the listener both in the component only this time, so we do not complicate things.

    It works like this:

    un) pane-> initializeHandler starts to perform its functions/activities

    b) pane-> creationCompleteHandler starts to perform its functions/activities

    The question here is the same: will a) be 100% full before before flash moves to b) or b) could happen sometimes some time one) is running?

    Note: Yes this means a) will be 100% complete bofore b) occurs.

    Thank you very much

    (1) flash is currently single-threaded, so a Manager will end before the end of another Manager for the event itself. The processing order is not guaranteed and since your handlers are listening for the event attached to the same object, that it is imprudent to write code that depends on the order in which these handlers are called. Adobe are working to multi-threading the flash plugin, in the future any order that may now exist differrent in the future and any treatment that depends on a single completion handler until the other is called can also fail in the future because a multi-threaded player could activate the two managers simultaneously.

    It's nice to have answers Yes/No, but only if you want to write poor code that can work, by accident, until something changes that you have no control over.

    Do not write code that depends on the order this event handler is called for the same event.

    (2) initialize occurs before the complete creation. The answer is Yes.

  • Simple questions on the earphones of events and memory management

    I am brand new to AS 3.0 (have not coded in 10 years!) and I have a two part question on the management of event listeners.

    1. is it possible to use variables or loops to simplify the process of creating event listener? For example, I have a scene that animates the leaves when they are hit. There are 25 or more leaves, so I need to handlers of 25 and 25 functions, even if the animation is the same. Right now my code looks like this:

    leaf1.addEventListener (TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, animateLeaf1);
    leaf2.addEventListener (TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, animateLeaf2);
    leaf3.addEventListener (TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, animateLeaf3);

    etc. And then the functions all alike as well.

    function animateLeaf1(e:TouchEvent): void {}
    leaf1.gotoAndPlay ("animationStart");
    }

    function animateLeaf2(e:TouchEvent): void {}
    leaf2.gotoAndPlay ("animationStart");
    }

    etc. My instinct tells me there is an easier way to do this, but I don't know if it's just because I see a model and want to put it in a loop or if there is really a better way to do it. I have event listeners are doing right?

    2. How can I clean my waste? Each of my frames will have 100-300 earphones of events inside, for animations, etc., mainly because a single button can have 3-5 event listeners (touch Start, end touch, touch roll on, roll off touch, etc.). Is this too much for a mobile device to manage? When can I disable event listeners to make sure that they are the garbage collector to release the memory? I don't want memory leaks, but the event listeners must be active when the frame is active and destroyed when the setting is inactive; I don't know how to program which, or if such a garbage collection is already inherent in Flash.


    Thank you very much!

  • Roll Over and URLS

    Hello

    I'm new to Flash and I have a problem that was so irritating for weeks. I did a few roll over buttons in fireworks and imported into Flash as a clip. When I test the roll over page work fine. Problem is as soon as I add the behavior to go to a Web page, the button ceases to be a roll over, but the link works. I can't seem to find how to get to the reversal and the link to work together.

  • Listen to calendar events?

    Hello

    It is possible to listen to calendar events, for example: If a calendar event has occurred, check the location of the event (for example, the location is "myAPP:LOC") then to note my request and do an action... it's possible? and if possible how?

    My apologies, you are right, that the listener is only for the management of events, not triggering events.  I don't know if there is a listener for it.

    You can add effects to an active state on the menu which items when in active State will show different from the menu SUP normal items.

  • Listen to the event within the custom class

    I created a custom class that publishes on a webpage to authorize a user. How can I listen to an event within the custom class?

    It is my code in my main class.

    var customClass:CustomClass = new CustomClass();

    var testingString = customClass.authorize ("[email protected]", "password");

    the fuction "authorizes" within the customClass looks like this:

    public void authorize(user:String,_password:String):void

    {

    jSession = new URLVariables();

    j_Loader = new URLLoader();

    jSession.j_username = user;

    jSession.j_password = password;

    jSend.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

    jSend.data = jSession

    j_Loader.load (jSend)

    }

    How can I trigger an event in my main class once the j_Loader triggers Event.COMPLETE?

    You can raise an event using the dispatchEvent() function.

    In your main class, you assign a listener to the event the CustomClass distributes when there are.
