[Flashcoders] Loader Mouse Event

2012-06-11 Thread Ted Lehr 
So I have a Loader that is loading an image:

var Img:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(http://www.someurl.com;);

img.load(urlReq);


and I am trying:

img.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,x);



this does not seem to work - does that make sense? and if so, how can I get a 
mouse event on the loader - do I need to load it in another mc?


Thanks!

I've never tried to get a mouse event on a loader. Do you have a
progress bar? I would add a MouseEvent listener to the progress bar,
not the loader itself. If that doesn't work, add a movie clip with a 0
alpha on top of the loader, and attach the mouse listener to that. You
could use a standard Flash shape like a rectangle, and lengthen it in
sequence with the progress bar, You would want something like this to
keep it in sequence:

progBar.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);

and, in your progressHanler function, set its length and height to
that of the progress bar.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson

Thanks - I ended up putting a sprite over the image and giving that the 
listener...

um, instead of putting things over, why not put your loader IN a sprite
instead, or if you're loading an image make a bitmap and stick that in a
sprite.

seems odd to me to have mouse events on something placed over something
else, what happens if you want to move the image? you have to move the
thing over it too. ugh.

There must be something else going wrong with your code.

This works fine for me, you can paste it straight into a new project
and test it:

import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var url:String = http://www.gogo-tennis.com/images/Tennis%20Balls_small.jpg;;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, rollOverListener);
ldr.load(req);
addChild(ldr);

function rollOverListener(e:MouseEvent):void
{
//
trace(hit!);
}
