Tween multiple filters Actionscript 3

I have a circular graphic that has 7 images on it. It needs to spin and stop on the next/previous image. It should spin through more than the 50deg required to get to the next/prev image so I added 360. This part works fine. But when I try to add some motion blur type effect during the spin, the spin sometimes stops without completing. ...

longtail player + anythingslider + event listeners

I've implemented the AnythingSlider (http://css-tricks.com/anythingslider-jquery-plugin/) using image and video content (videos use the longtail flv player - licensed version 5). Problem: When the user plays the video, the slideshow doesn't know this has happened, so the slideshow keeps cycling while the video runs. So you have the sli...

Flash Stage Losing Focus

I built this incredibly brilliant scrolling thumbnail image viewer for a client in flash actionscript 3. (Basically it just scrolls up or down depending on the mouse position).

Javascript "addEventListener" Event Fires on Page Load

When I run the following script, the event always fires on page load.

I am working on a coloring book and have a movieclip (outlines) containing many movieclips that can be changed to whatever color the user has selected.

I'm trying to use AddEventListener on a loop from 1 to 30 so that when I change the value of the select, the image src is updated (and the image changes). The AddEventListener function is this one: function AddEventListener(...

Do superfluous calls to addEventListenter("event", thisSpecificFunction) waste resources?

I have ItemRenderers that need to listen for events. When they hear an event (and when data changes), they dispatch an event with their current data value. As item renderers are reused, each of them is going to add its callback in set data(value...)and pass the callback function in the event as well as the current data value. So, the l...

Is there a work around for addEventListener callbacks with return value?

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with custom (level 2 DOM) events and I've now arrived at the problem that addEventListener() will not accept callbacks that return a value -- or at least I'm unfamiliar with the proper approach to this. Basically what I want is this: addEventListener("customEvent", function() { r...

Why can't I add an event to each element in a collection that refers to Itself rather than the last element in the "for(){}" statement

On Window's load, every DD element inside Quote_App should have an onCLick event appended that triggers the function Lorem, however, Lorem returns the nodeName and Id of the last element in the For statement rather than that of the element that trigged the function. I would want Lorem to return the nodeName and Id of the element that tri...

I use this simple working function to add events: function AppendEvent(html_element, event_name, event_function) { if(html_element) { if(html_element.attachEvent) //IE html_element.attachEvent("on" + event_name, event_function); else if(html_element.addEventListener) //FF html_element.addEventListe...
