event.localX of a MovieClip regardless of any other DisplayObject over/under/inside

Here is an example:

var table:Table = new Table();
stage.addChild(table);
//table covers the whole stage
for (var i:int = 0; i<= 10; i++){
  var book:Book = new Book();
  book.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
  book.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;
  if (Math.random() < .5){
    stage.addChild(book)
  }
  else {
    table.addChild(book)
  }

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clicked); //notice that the eventListener is added to the stage

function clicked(event:MouseEvent){
trace(event.localX, event.localY);
}

what I need here, it's the localX or locally TO THE TABLE, not another thing.

so the general question is "how to return event.localX of a certain MovieClip regardless of any other DisplayObject over/under/to inside it, without defining the mouseChildren to false (which I need to be enabled).

This question is another discussion I had on actionscript 3 - event.localX of a MovieClip regardless of any other DisplayObject over/under/inside - Stack Overflow

function clicked (event: MouseEvent) {}

var globalPt:Point = new Point (event.stageX, event.stageY);

var tablePt:Point = table.globalToLocal (globalPt);

trace (tablePt.x, tablePt.y);

}

  • MovieClip not getting any custom event

    I have a problem of understanding of events and event management.

    I have a movieClipA that contains several other movieClips (a1, A2, A3, etc...)

    MovieClipA is the parent of movieClips (a1, A2, A3, etc...)

    MovieClipA I use the following code:

    ...

    addEventListener ("Pieter", pieterFnP);

    dispatchEvent (new Event ("Pieter"));

    ...

    private void pieterFnP (e: Event) {}
    trace ("PIETER - Parent');

    } / / Is triggered when event is received

    In movieClips (a1, A2, A3, etc...) I use the code

    addEventListener ("Pieter", pieterFnC);

    ...

    private void pieterFnC (e: Event) {}
    trace ("PIETER - Child");

    } / / Is NOT triggered?

    ...

    When I run the application, the 'pieterFnP' function is triggered, but 'pieterFnC' is NOT.


    Thank you.

    events propagate upwards, not downwards.  children won't detect a parent event. the parent could detect an event of the child.

  • interrupt an event of any other event handler

    Is it possible to have an event that interrupts another handful rutin event? I mean, I have an event handle the structure with several events (case). One of this event takes place, and the structure begins to run in rutin. Meanwhile, rutin is running, another event takes place. Is it possible to stop rutin from first event to run the other?

    Thank you!

    No. not really.

    Structures of the event has no any code embedded in them that can take a long time to run and block the other events.  If you do not have one such routine, you must move to the other while loop using an architecture of producer/consumer with queues.  The structure of the event would just load a command into a queue that the other dequeue while loop and start working on.  The structure of the event loop will become quickly available to treat other events.

    If the second event is one that is designed to interrupt the first routine, then you just need to have the right communication architecture to send to the other loop.  This could be another queue order, perhaps a declarant or accident.  A local variable or functional global variable.

    Remember that you can not stop any structure in the middle of its processes.   A time of loop can be stopped, but all the code in the while loop should run before this iteration of the loop stops.

  • USB key used in iMac unrecognized by any other device

    Hi all, I recently encountered a problem using USB keys with my iMac 2010 10.11.3 running OSx.

    My iMac will recognize UBS sticks and allow me to save documents and files for them, but when I insert into any other device (e.g. a few friend PC and Macs, professional printers to Officeworks etc.) the USB stick is not recognized and does not see the same on their system.   Then when I insert the USB in my iMac, it is recognized immediately as well as its content.

    Before that, I was able to share files and documents with family, friends and clients on USB with no problems at all.

    I tried a variety of different USB keys (old and new) and what is happening to all of them, whatever the brand, age, size, etc.   Is produced only for a few months and at first I was in denial and thought that it was my friend PC, but now I see that it is certainly a problem with my iMac.  He may have started happening around the same time that when I upgraded to IE Captain earlier this year.

    Any ideas please?

    Thank you.

    The fact that this happens with different computers suggests that the problem could be the configuration.

    Go to Applications/Utilities/Disk utility. Insert your flash key and look at the settings. It may look like this:

    Everything on this list must be verified. While you're there, see if your USB is correctly configured:

  • VZW iPhone is unlocked? Means it can be used with a SIM card, anywhere in the world with any other SIM card from another provider, including the United States

    VZW iPhone is unlocked?

    Yes, only bought it for full price directly from Apple.

    Buy from anywhere else or under contract with Verizon means that he will probably be locked.

  • My old iphone 6s is completely broken, it does not or registry that it is connected when plugged into a computer. I'm able to recover photos from the SIM card with an adapter USB SIM card or through any other way?

    My old iphone 6s is completely broken, it does not or registry that it is connected when plugged into a computer. I'm able to recover photos from the SIM card with an adapter USB SIM card or through any other way? I also do not save anything with AllAccess, icloud, or through my computer as you would with a digital camera.

    The photos are not stored on the sims, sorry.

    You can always try the Recovery Mode, little to lose at this point. If it doesn't, I suggest taking it to an Apple Store for testing.

    Recovery mode:

    Turn off your iOS device.

    Plug charge cable to the computer only (not to the device yet).

    Open iTunes on your computer.

    Hold the button to power on your device and do not let go.

    Plug the cable into the device while keeping the power button.

    Wait for the computer to detect the device and wait that he eat.

    Restore as New first, then restore sauvegardΘ if you wish.

    The same is true for other sites such as UPS, USPS, clips and any other place cookie preferences, passwords are stored (invited to remember); e-mail, passwords and other account identifiers remembers when typed directly into a portal of connection, such as hotmail.

    Websites to remember you and automatically log you on are stored in a cookie.

    • Create a cookie exception allow (Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such cookies, especially for sites Web secure and if the cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

    Make sure that you run not Firefox in private browsing mode.
