Cant remove enterframe event listener in control animation

Hi
I am trying to create a simple play, stop, rewind. fforward controller. I have the slideShow and the Control in the same time line.
As the enterframe event is nested inside a function it will rewind but then none of the other buttons will work as I am not able to removeEventListener for the enterframe event. Thanks for looking. Regards
stop();
btnStop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,StopSlideShow)
btnPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,PlaySlideShow)
btnRewind.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,RewindSlideShow)
function PlaySlideShow(e:MouseEvent):void
play();
function StopSlideShow(e:MouseEvent):void
stop();
function RewindSlideShow(e:MouseEvent):void
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,keeprewinding);
function keeprewinding(e:Event):void
  prevFrame();
if(currentFrame ==1)
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,keeprewinding);

stop();
btnStop.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,StopSlideShow);
btnPlay.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,PlaySlideShow);
btnRewind.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,RewindSlideShow);
function PlaySlideShow(e:MouseEvent):void
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,keeprewinding);
play();
function StopSlideShow(e:MouseEvent):void
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,keeprewinding);
stop();
function RewindSlideShow(e:MouseEvent):void
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,keeprewinding);
function keeprewinding(e:Event):void
if (currentFrame == 1)
  removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,keeprewinding);
prevFrame();

    Thanks for the ideas regarding beforeInvoke, Ben.  I will try to check that out.  In my situation, here's essentially how my script is working...
    BeforeSave is invoked.
    Script makes a change to the document, which should be captured in the saved file.
    Document saves.
    Document appears saved for a moment, and then appears unsaved (asterisk in the document title).
    My biggest problem is that this behavior isn't consistent.  I have dozens of users, all running the same script, and the problem only occurs with certain users and at random times. I can move a problematic document from a user's machine to a different machine, and the problem doesn't occur there.  It's very difficult to troubleshoot because I can't reproduce it consistently.

  • How to remove an event listener

    I have a series of buttons. When a button is clicked a component (instructorView) is loaded into a container named passageContainer:
    passageContainer.addChild(instructorView);
    Each time I load a new component, I remove the old component first:
    passageContainer.removeAllChildren();
    The component includes an eventListener which is triggered when a key is pressed.
    The first time I load a component and press a key the event is triggered once.
    The second time the event is triggered twice.
    The third time the event is triggered three times, and so on.
    I'm almost certain that the eventListeners are not being removed although the components are removed. So the event listeners execute multiple times.
    Is it possible for the eventListeners to remain after the components have been removed? If so, how can I remove them?
    Thanks!

    It means the components are still in the memory, they are tightly coupled, you need to do makesure that the event listeners are loosely coupled/weakreferenced.
    http://www.selikoff.net/2010/09/21/flex-event-handlers-and-weak-references/
    (OR) you have to remove the listeners manually, by doing this.removeEventLIstener(...... on each and every component to all the events that are registered in the component before you remove it from the memory.

  • Removing an event listener from buttons

    Hi.
    I´d like to know if it´s necessary to remove event listeners from buttons.
    I know it's good practice to remove event listeners when its use is over.
    But it´s necessary to remove event listeners for buttons as well?
    Thanks

    it's necessary if you want to ready your buttons for gc.

  • How to remove event listener when all the MoviClip are off the stage

    Hi i am newbie to as3,
        I am creating animation using as3 in which i duplicate the circle ten time,then pushing into an array and giving random motion. When all the duplicate object goes outside the stage then i should remove the event listener. But right now when one duplicate object goes off the stage the event listener is removed. Thanks in advance

  • Can't remove event listener from Image

    I'm clearly missing something and would appreciate some help.  I'm trying to run an event handler when an Image completes loading,  then remove the handler so that it won't  run again should the image be reloaded later.
    The problem that I'm having is that the event handler simply wont' go away, despite calling removeEventListener on the Image object.
    The following example demonstrates the problem (the example doesn't actually do anything useful...it's just the shortest example to demonstrate the problem).  (To run the  app, you'll have to provide any ol' JPEG file named "myImage.jpg" in the "src" directory of your project).
    What I expect to happen is :
         1) on startup, the image loads and loadComplete() runs.
         2)  loadComplete removes the event Listener so that subsequent re-loads won't re-fire the handler.  I only want the handler to  run once.
         3) "loadComplete" shoudl  be displayed in the Debug console.
         4) A button click should display only "Changing  Image" in the Debug console
    What I get instead is that the loadComplete handler isn't  removed, and every  time I click the button, loadComplete runs when the image is re-loaded   (i.e., every button click results in both "Change Image" AND "loadComplete"  being displayed in the Debug console).

    Hi,
    You can remove only event listeners that you added with the addEventListener() method in an ActionScript block. You cannot remove an event listener  that was defined in the MXML tag, even if it was registered using a call  to the addEventListener()method that was made inside a tag attribute.
    Check this page for reference.
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=events_05.html
    You can modify the code a bit a get it working
    <mx:Image width="655" height="181" id="myImage" scaleContent="true"
              x="100" y="100"
              creationComplete="myImage_creationCompleteHandler(event)"/>
    private function myImage_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
         myImage.addEventListener("complete",myImage_completeHandler);
         myImage.load("myImage.jpg");
    private function myImage_completeHandler(event:Event):void
         myImage.removeEventListener("complete",myImage_completeHandler);

  • Remove event listener from loaded external swf

    I have a main movie timeline that loads an external swf. When I unload the swf from the main timeline I get an error from this:  my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, vidEnd);
    is there any way to remove the event listener from the loaded swf from the main timeline?
    THANKS!

    if you're publishing for fp 10+, use unloadAndStop() applied to your swf's loader.  that has a fair chance of solving the problem.
    if that fails, you should explicitly stop my_FLVPlybk.

  • Removing event listener from a button.

    I've added a "click" event listener to a button, but I'd like to remove it once the button is clicked, so it's not active/clickable any longer. Here's the basic code:

    Thank you.

    one way...
    sym.$('button').click(function(){

  • Removing a Button Event Listener on a Specific Frame and Reactivating it on Next Frame

    Hi , i am trying to develop a Slideshow where Next Button needs to behave in a certain way on a specific Frame , lets say a Specific Condition is met only then Next Button would work , I have been able to achieve that but problem is the Button Retains its Event Listener even on the next Frame , whereas  i have already included removeEventListener on the next frame with a new Function for the button , but its doesnt take it like that.

    //SLIDE COUNTER
    and here is the Code on all the Frames where I need to call in specific Listeners
    FOR EXAMPLE ON FRAME 8,9,10,
    Here Is the Code ,
    FRAME 8
    stop();
    slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
    count = 0;
    backcounter = 0;
    btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
    btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
    btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
    btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
    pop1.closebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadbtn1);
    //btn_notice1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , loadnotice1);
    FRAME 9
    stop();
    slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
    //POPUP FUNCTION
    count = 0;
    btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
    btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
    btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
    btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
    btn_notice1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , loadnotice1);
    FRAME 10
    stop();
    slidecounter.text = String(this.currentFrame - 1 + "/" + indexframe);
    count = 0;
    backcounter = 0;
    btn_nxt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , fl_ClickToGoToNextFrame);
    btn_bck.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, backbtn);
    btn_bck.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , backbtnscript1);
    btn_nxt.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK , nextframe9);
    pop1.closebtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, unloadbtn1);
    I am repeating this Pattern on each frame set where I need these Listeners ,
    Problem is with the next one where I have two consecutive frames have different conditions to meet, any ideas how would I disable and enable listeners respectively on these frames ?
    I hope I am not confusing this very much ?;(

  • Remove Event Listener : Best Practice

    This quesiton isn't really keeping me from progressing on my current project, but I was wondering what the best practice was. If I'm about to remove an item with removeChild(), should I first remove any Event Listeners that were on that object or do those get removed and cleared from memory automatically when the child is removed?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    As Kalisto mentioned, the listeners will only be removed automatically if you use weak reference when you add it:
    myObject.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, someFunction, false, 0, true);
    The true on the end specifies to use weak ref. If you don't use that (you always should) then you will have to remove it manually or it will hang around forever.
    Also, removeChild simply removes the object from the display list... it's still in memory. Set it to null if you want to truly clear it.

  • Help with event listener

    I'm having some trouble trying to figure out how this event listener will work.
    The main application is building an arrayCollection of a calendarDay custom components which is displayed by a DataGroup.
    Within each calendarDay custom component i may create an arrayList of a DriverDetailComponent custom components displayed within the calendarDay by a DataGroup.
    If a user double clicks on the DriverDetailComponent that is two layers in I would like to change states of the main application.  I'm having trouble figuring out what item in the main application to set the listener on.  Please help.
    I can't figure out how to post the below as scrollable code snips so this is very long.

    The code I have is this:

    JRadioButton b1 = new JRadioButton("Search PARTS by name");
    JRadioButton b2 = new JRadioButton("Search ASSEMBLIES by name");

    JRadioButton b4 = new JRadioButton("Search all by DESCRIPTION");
    b1.setSelected(true);
    // Tie them together in a group
    ButtonGroup group = new ButtonGroup();
    group.add(b1);
    group.add(b2);
    group.add(b3);
    group.add(b4);
    // Add them to a panel stacking vertically
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel,BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
    panel.add(b1);
    panel.add(b2);
    panel.add(b3);
    panel.add(b4);
    JLabel name_label = new JLabel("Enter a search term (add *'s as required)");
    JTextField name = new JTextField(30);
    name.addComponentListener(new ComponentListener() {
    public void componentHidden(ComponentEvent ce) { }
    public void componentMoved(ComponentEvent ce) { }
    public void componentResized(ComponentEvent ce) {
    ce.getComponent().requestFocus();
    public void componentShown(ComponentEvent ce) { }
    Object[] array = { option_label, panel, name_label, name };
    // GET INPUT FROM USER
    int res = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, array, "Select", JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
    String searchTerm = name.getText();This sucessfully has the focus in the text box when opened; is there a way to get the focus to go back into the text box after the user clicks a radio button?
    Thanks!

  • URGENT : EVENT Listener Problem

    Hi All,
    Thanks for your time. I am facing a Small issue with Event
    dispatcher and Add Event listener. Well i will explain the problem.
    I am having one MovieClip named BUTTON_SET and i gave
    "ButtonSet.as" as linkage Class.
    Inside that BUTTON_SET i am having some Buttons and they are
    also having "UIButton.as" as linkage class
    UIButton Dispatching press and release events, But unable to
    capture it using ButtonSet Class. Here with i have attached the
    Code and i gave the Source URL Too.
    upto my Knowledge : UIButton class is not initiated When the
    ButtonSet is ready to addListener.
    Please Help me to fix this.
    if i don't find a solution i need to change all my class
    structures.
    CLICK HERE FOR SOURCE
    CODE

    According to your Code, When you are calling the InitHandler
    Functionction the Buttons may/may not be Initiated. So use the
    Enterframe to check whether its loaded or not.
    Write down this in the ButtonSet to replace the init Handler
    Call.
    this.onEnterFrame = Delegate.create(this, initHandler);
    inside the initHandler remove the function This will help you
    if you are not using any Enterframe for any other manipulation)
    delete this.onEnterFrame;

  • How to add event listener?

    i want to add event listener when i click on a button in mxml, the event listener should be added in the action script file, how to do this?
    can anyone help? urgent!!!

    Hi Lakshmi,
    You can do this just put all the script in the mxml block in seperate AS file as shown below... Observe that I have included an AS file named Script.as and removed the script block form mxml and moved to this Script.as file. Place the Script.as file in your src folder ....
    // Main mxml file....
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()">
        <mx:Script source="Script.as"/>
    <mx:TextArea id="textArea" width="300" height="100" />
    <mx:Button id="myButton" label="Click ME"/>
    </mx:Application>
    //Script.as file
    import mx.controls.Alert;
                private function onCreationComplete():void
                 myButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonClick);
                private function onButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void
                 Alert.show("Button is Clicked");
