Thanks Alisdair That seems like a reasonable workaround. Unfortunately I need it to work with buttons also.
Anyone else have a suggestion..? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alisdair Mills Sent: 25 November 2005 12:10 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] enable all movieclips to broadcast theironReleaseevent Hi Aaron, yeah.. tricky. best i could come up with was to use the prototype of onMouseUp since i guess it is rarely used for MovieClips, and then hitTest. this'll only work for MovieClips though as Buttons have no hitTest method. class ReleaseListener { private var __clips : Array ; public function ReleaseListener ( ) { __clips = [ ] ; Mouse.addListener ( this ) ; var listener = this ; MovieClip.prototype.onMouseUp = function ( ) { if ( this.hitTest ( _root._xmouse , _root._ymouse ) ) { listener.addClip ( this ) ; } } } public function addClip ( o : MovieClip ) { if ( o != _root ) __clips.push ( o ) ; } public function onMouseUp ( Void ) : Void { for ( var i : Number = 0 ; i < __clips.length ; i ++ ) { trace ( __clips[ i ] + " onRelease" ) ; } __clips = [ ] ; } } sorry i have no better solution.... anyone? cheers, Alisdair On 25 Nov 2005, at 10:32, Aaron Haines wrote: > > Hi Alisdair > > I want to create a class which would be able to detect which > movieclip or > button has been clicked whenever any movieclip or button is clicked. > > I want this class to exist independently of any onRelease functions > which > have been assigned directly to movieclip instances. > > i.e. I don't want to have to include a call to my class in the > onRelease > function of every movieclip instance - I just want my class to > listen for > any onRelease events, and then do some action depending on which > clip was > clicked. > > The idea is that I could then include this class in movies which have > already been created without having to go back through and add a > call to my > class into every button and movieclip onRelease function. > > If I set the MovieClip.prototype.onRelease as you suggest this would > presumably then be overwritten by the direct assignment of the > onRelease to > the movieclip instance. > > I can make all movieclips broadcasters by using AsBroadcaster on the > MovieClip.prototype, but this doesn't make them automatically > broadcast the > onRelease event. > > I was wondering if there was a way to do this with EventDispatcher or > something similar..? > > Thanks > a. > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Alisdair > Mills > Sent: 25 November 2005 08:46 > To: Flashcoders mailing list > Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] enable all movieclips to broadcast > theironRelease > event > > could you provide more detail on what you want to achieve? > > the following would make a Class object receive all MovieClip > onRelease events. and would do so for a timeline with slightly > modified code. not sure this is what you mean though? > > public function initOnRelease ( Void ) : Void { > var listener = this ; > MovieClip.prototype.onRelease = function ( ) { listener.sayHello > ( ) ; } ; > } > public function sayHello ( Void ) : Void { > trace ( "HELLO!!!!" ) ; > } > > cheers, Alisdair > > > > On 24 Nov 2005, at 19:25, Aaron Haines wrote: > >> >> >> Is this possible..? >> >> Anyone know how to do it..? >> >> >> >> I want to be able to add a listener with an onRelease function to any >> movieclip. >> >> The onRelease of the listener would be triggered whenever the >> onRelease of >> the movieclip is triggered. >> >> >> >> Any help much appreciated. >> >> >> >> a. >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Flashcoders mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > [email protected] > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders > > _______________________________________________ > Flashcoders mailing list > [email protected] > http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
