Help with event.target.name

I am very green with actionscript and coding in general so please forgive me if I am asking something that sounds super simple.
Is it possible to take "event.target.name" value which in my case would be something like "SW5005_mc" and change that value.
I use that value right now to tell another clip to gotoAndStop(event.target.name); which I have frames labeled the same as the event.target.name.
I would like to take the value of event.target.name for instance "SW5005_mc" and remove the "_mc" and put a dash in between the "SW" and the "5005"
to get "SW-5005" which then I would pass into a text field.
I really don't know where to begin or if this is possible.
Thanks for any help or suggestions,
Chris

yes you can do it with String manipulation, check out the various String Class methods, some examples here:

How do I use the event.target.name String with an external dispatchEvent?

...I hope the title question makes sense...
On my stage I have an externally loaded SWF with a button. When clicked the button dispatches an event to the main stage.
On the main stage a listener then loads an SWF into a loader called gallery.
The gallery loader is also being shared by buttons on the main stage which use the event.target.name String to call in SWFs with corresponding names.
I am using Tweens to fade-out and -in content to the gallery when a button is pressed.
Loading the SWFs was working until I tried to create a universal button function for the dispatchEvent buttons...
The problem I have is that I don't know how to define the String to tell the newSWFRequest where to find the SWF when triggered by the external buttons.
(I may be doing this all wrong... but figured the best way to load an SWF on to the main stage from an external SWF was by using dispatchEvent??)
My code triggers the Event and the gallery loader fades out, but then it cannot find the new SWF:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.
Please can someone help me understand the way to make the String point in the right direction? (I think the only errors are in bold below)
Code:
var myTweenIn2:Tween;
var myTweenOut2:Tween;
var nextLoadS2:String;
// Listen for external event dispatched from external btns
addEventListener("contactStage", btnClickExtrnl);
function btnClickExtrnl(e:Event):void {
nextLoadS2 = ?????
myTweenOut2=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,0.2,true);
myTweenOut2.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF2);
// Btns Universal function
function tweenOutCompleteF2(e:TweenEvent){
myTweenOut2.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteF2);
myTweenOut2=null;
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/" + nextLoadS2 + ".swf");
myTweenIn2 = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, gallery.alpha, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
Thank you.

That works – thank you!
I'm now using this code to fade in each of the SWFs:
function contactStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
    myTweenIn = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
But I cannot add the fade out function. I have amended the above code to create:
var myTweenOutX:Tween;
var myTweenInX:Tween;
function contactStage(e:MouseEvent):void {
myTweenOutX=new Tween(gallery,"alpha",None.easeOut,gallery.alpha,0,0.2,true);
myTweenOutX.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteFX);
function tweenOutCompleteFX(e:TweenEvent){
myTweenOutX.removeEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH,tweenOutCompleteFX);
myTweenOutX=null;
    var newSWFRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("swfs/"+e.currentTarget.name+".swf");
myTweenInX = new Tween(gallery, "alpha", None.easeOut, 0, 1, 0.2, true);
    gallery.load(newSWFRequest);
    gallery.x = Xpos;
    gallery.y = Ypos;
But get this error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property name not found on fl.transitions.Tween and there is no default value.

Where am I going wrong?

How do I use event.target.name in AS2?

Thanks to kglad I was able to see how event.target.name in AS3 could make a button load a movieclip with the same namesake.
I'm doing the same thing now in AS2 but don't know what to write instead of event.target.name.
And so at the moment each button pushes info into an array and then a function uses that to decide which movieclip to attach to a holder after it has faded out once, and then fades in again...
// ***** IMAGE GALLERY START ***** //
// Add image to holder
imgholder.attachMovie("img0", "image0_0", 1)
// Array
var nextLoad = ["img0"];
// Btn listeners
img5.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img5"); btnClick() } // Written on 1 line
img4.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img4"); btnClick() }
img3.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img3"); btnClick() }
img2.onRelease = function() { trace (nextLoad); nextLoad.pop(); nextLoad.push("img2"); btnClick() }
img1.onRelease = function() {
nextLoad.pop();
nextLoad.push("img1");
btnClick()
img0.onRelease = function() {
nextLoad.pop();
nextLoad.push("img0");
btnClick()
// The btn function
function btnClick() {
trace ("click");
var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
myImgTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
fadeOutImg();
// The btn function part II
function fadeOutImg() {
trace ("fadeOutImg");
imgholder.attachMovie(nextLoad, "image1_1", 1);
var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);
I know I should be able to push the button name into the array, but am having to use a string... I'm sure my code is cumbersome!! But it works. I've tried pushing the button name but it end up including the full stage reference.
Is there a cleaner way of doing this using event.target.name?
Thanks for looking!

There is no event.target in AS2. However since AS2 has no way of remembering the scope object where the target object resides, you can use this to your advantage to retrieve the name of the target by using the "this" command in the function whenever you use the above format "mc.onPress = myfunc". FYI, the popular workaround Delegate, made it possible that when you called "this" in the function, you could retrieve the scope object where the target instance resides. So without its use, "this" will return the name of the target object. Anyway this is the code you can use:
imgholder.attachMovie("img0","image0_0",1);
var nextLoad = ["img0"];
img5.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img4.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img3.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img2.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img1.onRelease = onImgRelease;
img0.onRelease = onImgRelease;
function onImgRelease():Void {
   nextLoad.pop();
   nextLoad.push(this._name);
   btnClick();
// The btn function
function btnClick() {
   trace("click");
   var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 100, 0, 1, true);
   myImgTween.onMotionFinished = function() {
      fadeOutImg();
// The btn function part II
function fadeOutImg() {
   trace("fadeOutImg");
   imgholder.attachMovie(nextLoad,"image1_1",1);
   var myImgTween:Object = new Tween(imgholder, "_alpha", Strong.easeOut, 0, 100, 1, true);

Passing event target name to text field

Hi There,
I'm new to 3.0 and can use some help here... should be an
easy one for you experts...
I just need to pass an event target name to a text field:
square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downObj);
function downObj(event:MouseEvent){
targetObj = event.target;
mydrag.visible = true;
targetObj.startDrag();
mydrag.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, dragClip);
target_txt.text = String(event.target);
I've also tried:
target_txt.text = event.target;
but no luck so far..
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Cheers...

That's right...
target_txt.text = String(event.target
.name);
works like a charm.
thank you!

I need help with event structure. I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index can vary from 0 to 7. Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment ?

I need help with event structure.
I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index number can vary from 0 to 7.
Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment
or decrement every time the output of comparsion changes(event change). I guess I need to use event structure?
(My event code doesn't execute when there is an event at its input /comparator changes its boolean state.
Anyone coded on similar lines? Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You don't need an Event Structure, a simple State Machine would be more appropriate.
There are many examples of State Machines within this forum.

Attached corresponding image in mouse without using event.target.name in actionscript 3

Hi,

Please suggest me if any one.

for each loader created, create a movieclip and add your loader to the movieclip. assign all the properties you want to retrieve later to the movieclip and assign your event listeners to the movieclip.

Function module to populate itab with event's name

Is there any function module which would populate internal table with all the events name of the submitted program.Actually I used F4_PROG_EVENT but it is generating a alv popup with event's name but not storing anything in the internal table.

Hi,
Check FM: REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
Export
It_events : internal table with a list of all possible events of ALV and their corresponding routine names.

Can you help with rematching file names

After a computer crash needed to reload my library. When doing this I accidently clicked the option to add track numbers to song names.
Later I was able to locate my iTunes XML from my old PC, however many of the songs (5000 out of 6000) no don't match because the original song name has been changed since my stupid error caused the files names to get the song number in front of them.
Anybody have any tips for matching the filenames back up. In my original library some files had track numbers in front and some did not. How can I match them back up. I'm comfortable programming and modifying the iTunes XML but I can't figure out a good way to list out the contents of my hard drive to do the actual matching.

Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
"can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

Remove MovieClip with event.target.content

Hi every one please i need your help i have this code and i want to remove baresClip but i cante removeit please helpme
var loaderBares:Loader = new Loader();
    loaderBares.unload();
    loaderBares.load(new URLRequest("negocio/bares.swf"));
loaderBares.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadBares);
function loadBares(event:Event){
          var baresClip:MovieClip = event.target.content;
          baresClip.x= -474;
          baresClip.y= -135;
          addChild(baresClip);
baresClip.over1.receta1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, prueba);
          function prueba(event:MouseEvent):void{
                              gotoAndStop("receta1");
                              removeChild(baresClip); /*Here is working*/
MovieClip(root).mc_negocio.menu_negocio.btn_botanas.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goToBotanas);
function goToBotanas(event:MouseEvent):void
removeChild(baresClip);   /*Here is not working*/
          gotoAndPlay("botanas");

oh, i see what you're doing. you made baresClip local to loadBares.
to remedy, use:
var baresClip:MovieClip
var loaderBares:Loader = new Loader();
    loaderBares.unload();
    loaderBares.load(new URLRequest("negocio/bares.swf"));
loaderBares.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadBare s);
function loadBares(event:Event){
          baresClip = event.target.content;
          baresClip.x= -474;
          baresClip.y= -135;
          addChild(baresClip);
baresClip.over1.receta1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, prueba);
          function prueba(event:MouseEvent):void{
                              gotoAndStop("receta1");
                              removeChild(baresClip); /*Here is working*/
MovieClip(root).mc_negocio.menu_negocio.btn_botanas.addEventListener(M ouseEvent.CLICK, goToBotanas);
function goToBotanas(event:MouseEvent):void
removeChild(baresClip);   /*Here is not working*/
          gotoAndPlay("botanas");

Need Help with Event Handler Code - Doesnt come up in Event Handler Manager

Hello there,
Below is the code snippet that I am using to create a event handler:
package com.oracle.events;
import com.thortech.util.logging.Logger;
import com.thortech.xl.client.events.tcBaseEvent;
import com.thortech.xl.dataobj.tcDataObj;
import com.thortech.xl.util.logging.LoggerModules;
public class tcCheckOvrallProvStatusUDFs extends tcBaseEvent
     private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(LoggerModules.XL_JAVA_CLIENT);
     public tcCheckOvrallProvStatusUDFs()
          setEventName("Generating tcCheckOvrallProvStatusUDFs");
* @Override
* @throws Exception
     protected void implementation() throws Exception {
          tcDataObj data = getDataObject();
          String OIDProvStatus = data.getString("usr_udf_oidusrprovstatus");
String EBSProvStatus = data.getString("usr_udf_ebstcausrprovstatus");
          if (OIDProvStatus.equals("Provisioned") && EBSProvStatus.equals("Provisioned")) {
               setOverAllProvStatus(data);
     * @param data
     * @throws Exception
     private void setOverAllProvStatus(tcDataObj data) throws Exception
          data.setString("usr_udf_ovrrscprovstatus", "Provisioned");
Its a simple code that I am using to populate value of a UDF field depending on the value of other 2 fields. I want to trigger it on Post-Insert and Post-Update events.
But even if I restart the OIM server after placing the successfully compiled file (0 errors, 0 warnings) into the EventHandlers folder of OIM_HOME; it doesnt show up in the Design Console -> Development Tools -> Business Rule Definition -> Event Handler Manager. :( In order to create a event handler i need that file to show up in the lookup of event handlers/adapters. This JAR file doesnt come up over there.
Is there anything missing within the code ?
What else needs to be specified?
Please provide some guidance.
Thanks,
- jhb.

Now I have placed this JAR file in JAVATasks folder - made an entity adapter - in the event handler manager - i gave the class name/event handler name as 'setUDFValue' and the package as 'project5'. But now im getting it 'DOBJ.EVT_NOT_FOUND - Event Handler not found' error.

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.

I'm trying to add a listener to [this JOptionPane pane dialog box|http://beidlers.net/photos/d/516-1/search_screenshot.JPG|my dialog box], so that when it pops up, the cursor is in the text box, but then if the user clicks a button other than the default, the cursor reverts back into the text box.
The code I have is this:
// BUILD DIALOG BOX
JLabel option_label = new JLabel("Select a search option:");
// Create the button objects
JRadioButton b1 = new JRadioButton("Search PARTS by name");
JRadioButton b2 = new JRadioButton("Search ASSEMBLIES by name");
JRadioButton b3 = new JRadioButton("Search DRAWINGS 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!

you will need to add ItemListener to the JRadioButtons

Help with event in iMovie '09 event library?

I am going nuts with an iMovie project!
I am trying to make a movie of my recent vacation (which I do every year). I have already invested about 15 hours in the project. I opened iMovie tonight and tried to view it. Immediately, I noticed something was odd because as my cursor ran across clips in my project they did not show in the viewer and where ever the cursor was over a clip (either in the project or on a clip in the event I was working from) the thumbnail image in the filmstrip switched to light gray.
When I play my project all the music and titles I added play but the clips are blacked out AND the clip's audio doesn't play. The source clips in the event library also play the same in the viewer (blackout and with no audio). The problem seems to relate only to the event I am working with to create my project. I checked some other events in my library and they play fine in the viewer (although I am not using any video from those events in my current project).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just for the record I am running OS 10.5.8 on a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I am using iMovie '09 v. 8.0.6. Also, the clips were imported directly into iMovie.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I wound up resolving this on my own. I finally went to Time Machine and restored the folder "movies" under my account name. I went back about an hour before I stopped working on the project. This restored the project and allowed me to continue to work on it. I only lost about 3 minutes at the very end that I had to recreate (much better than recreating the entire project over). It has been about a week since the restore and (knock wood!) all has been well. I have learned the value of a Time Machine back-up.
One thing of note: Immediately after the restore I did have an issue with iMovie not recognizing my iTunes library. Once I opened iTunes and went back to iMovie the library was there.
Hope this helps someone else.

Help with Event Handlers with Scope

I have a question of how I must implement the event handlers with scope, I have problems in the execution of processes BPEL (they are generating exceptions in the dehydration)
I have two models for event handlers and I need to know which is the best way to implement event handlers.
Another question is, in what it influences the "variableAccessSerializable" attribute.
Thanks!
1) Event Handlers with PartnerLink invocation OUTSIDE Scope
<invoke name="Invoke_1" partnerLink="PartnerLink1"/>
<scope name="Scope_1" variableAccessSerializable="yes">
<eventHandlers>
<onMessage partnerLink="PartnerLink1"/>
<onAlarm/>
</eventHandlers>
<sequence name="Sequence_1">
</sequence>
</scope>
2) Event Handler with PartnerLink invocation INSIDE scope
<scope name="Scope_1" variableAccessSerializable="yes">
<eventHandlers>
<onMessage partnerLink="PartnerLink1"/>
<onAlarm/>
</eventHandlers>
<sequence name="Sequence_1">
<invoke name="Invoke_1" partnerLink="PartnerLink1"/>
</sequence>
</scope>

Thanks -- indeed a crucial call might be missing. I was doing
this until 3 yesterday morning.
Would this be the correct sample code to use? :
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm ?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00000846.html
It seems to work (although someone cautions in the page
comments that it doesn't).
Part of my trouble in working with AS 2.0 is that I feel I
shouldn't have to do such complicated things (Delegate classes,
etc) in order to get simple things done (loading XML files). This
is not a complaint per se -- rather I feel that I must be missing
something, that it is my inexperience that is causing me to bend
through so many hoops: programming "should" be elegant and simple.
So, any links helpful. Thanks.

Sun would like your help with the "System Name Already In Use" error

A couple of users have reported getting an erroneous "System Name Already in Use" error when re-registering a system after a fresh Solaris re-install. We'd like your help in tracking down this problem.
The scenario is this:
* Install Solaris 10 and register with updatemanager,
* Wipe out the installation and re-install Solaris.
* re-register with updatemanager.
The system erroneously reports that the system name is already in use. It is supposed to detect a duplicate registration of the same system.
We have not been able to reproduce this error in our lab.
If this has happened to you, would you let us know at [email protected]?
Here are the things that we would like to ask of you:
* If you run "updatemanager -debug" if will create a log file /tmp/basicreg<timestamp>.log.
* Details on the exact hardware you have (make/model/configuration).
* Details on the steps you took to get to the bad state. REALLY detailed!
Thanks!
Based on what we know now, we believe you can work around the issue by either:
* Changing the host name and re-registering.
* Creating a different user account and registering the host to that account.
Some previously-posted workarounds are known NOT to work:
* Wait 24 hours and try again.
* Do some "ccr" incantations and try again.

Hi,
Can you drop me an email as i am a sun employee and i will be able to check if the swup frontline team have received any support cases on this issue and then we can work with you directly to resolve the issue.
