Not receiving mouse events

In my ActionScript code I am adding mouse event handlers for a Canvas object (actually a subclass I wrote). When I move the mouse over a child DisplayObject that was added to the Canvas, I receive all of the appropriate event handlers. However, when I move the mouse over an area where there are no children, the events stop getting dispatched to my code. I am verifying this using traces. I do receive a mouse out and mouse over events, and I also receive a single mouse move event immediately prior to receiving the mouse over/out events, but nothing further.
Does anybody know why the mouse events would stop when the mouse is directly on top of the Canvas object and not over any children?

Not Receiving Sync Event

Hello, All!!!
I am creating one Application with the FMS 3.
I am creating a connection on the FMS 3.
I can see that user is connected to the Flash Media Server3.
But I am unable to receiving the Event of the Sync of the
Remote Shared Object.
Even I have tried the documentation Sample named
"SharedBalls" Application of the FMS.
Even in this application I am not Receiving Sync
Event.
I am using Flash Prof CS4 and Windows 7.
Help me to solve this...
Thanks in Advance.....

Hi,
Using the same application which you have mentioned, i am able to get the sync event triggered at the client side. But i tried in WIndows XP as client. Can you pls give me the exact player version which you are publishing and the flash player associated with the Flash CS4. Which version of FMS are you using?

Disable JTree and stop it from receiving mouse events

Hi,
I have a JTree which has a mouse listener associated with (which is used for right-click operations)..,..anyway I am trying to disable the tree, so I call setEnabled(false)...which, as documented, disables the tree but it will still receive mouse events. I also tried, setEditable(false)..... the only way I can think of is to remove the mouse listener, and then when I want to re-enable the tree, I have to add it back.
is there some other way?
thanks

Flash plugin does not receive mouse clicks

Sometimes adobe flash plugin does not receive mouse clicks. For example it happens with youtube old player. Is there some way to fix it? Is this well known bug or i am just having bad luck?

Custom UIView not receiving touch events for fast mouse clicks in simulator

I'm having a problem in the simulator where if I click fast in a UIView inside a table cell that is setup to receive touch events, it doesn't receive them. But if I click slow (holding down the button for a little bit) the view gets the touch events. I can't test it on the device. Is this a known problem in the simulator?
Thanks.

JPanels are not reading Mouse Events

I created a basic Tic Tac Toe game, with individual "TicPanel"s inside a JPanel inside a JFrame object, however, none of the mouse events are working? Is it because the JFrame is receiving and doing nothing with the MouseEvents?
    private class TicPanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener
        private int owner; //-1 = none, 0 = O, 1 = X
        private Graphics g;
        private int num;
        ActionListener listener;
         * Constructor
        public TicPanel(int num)
            this.num = num;
            g = getGraphics();
            owner = -1;
        public void setX()
            owner = 1;
            g.drawLine(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
        public void setO()
            owner = 0;
            g.drawOval(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());

Usually this is done with the addMouseListener(...) method.
Oh, and please read the Sun graphics tutorial as this is not the way to do graphics in Swing. You do not want to get the Graphics object via getGraphics method but instead do your painting in a paintComponent override method and get your Graphics object from the parameter passed to this method. The tutorials will explain all.

Not receiving COMPLETE event in URLLoader

Hi:
I'm querying a web application in a remote server through XML files and receiving answers in the same file format. Until now, sometimes I received a connection error:
Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://server/Services/startSesion.com
at reg_jugadores_fla::MainTimeline/queryGQ()
at reg_jugadores_fla::MainTimeline/reg_jugadores_fla::frame1()
When this occurs, trying to access the services through a web browser, there's a test page where you can try queries, returns a "500 Internal server error". I managed that problem adding a listener to catch the error:
xmlSendLoad.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, catchIOError);
But since yesterday I can't connect anymore using Flash while it's possible to access the test page. I'm not able to talk to any support guy as the company is closed for vacations! I added listeners to try to know what's happening and this is the result in the output window:
openHandler: [Event type="open" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
progressHandler loaded:154 total: 154
httpStatusHandler: [HTTPStatusEvent type="httpStatus" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 status=200]
AFAIK, status=200 means OK but why the COMPLETE event isn't dispatched?. So, is there anything I can do or just wait until the tech guys return from the beach?
Thanks in advance
queryGQ(sessionURL,sessionQS); // Start session
stop();
function queryGQ(url:String,qs:String):void {
var serviceURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://server/Services/"+url);

Hugo,
View may not fire events. View may call method on other controller (component / custom) and this controller fires event.
You are absolutely right: in WD only instantiated controllers receives the event, event itself does not cause controller instantiation.
The only controller that is always instantiated is component controller.
Custom controllers instantiated on demand when their context is accessed or user-defined method called.
As far as view may not have externally visible context nodes and methods (you may not add view controller as required to other one and use nodes/methods of view), the only time when view is instantiated is when it get visible for first time.
To solve your problem, try the following:
1. Save event parameters to component controller context node element before firing event.
2. Create mapped node in target view and set node from controller as source.
3. In wdDoInit of target view insert the following code:
wdThis.<eventHandlerName>(
null, //no wdEvent
wdConext.current<NameOfMappedNode>Element().get<NameOfParamA>(),
wdConext.current<NameOfMappedNode>Element().get<NameOfParamB>(),

Eventhandlers of children of application can not receive custom event dispatched by application

Hello dear Adobe community,
hope you can help me with this issue.
When the application dispatches a custom event, the child uicomponent can only receive the event by using Application.application.addEventListener or systemManager.addEventListener. Simply adding a listener, without application or systemmanager, does not allow the event to be received by the child component.
I want to be able to use the addEventListener and removeEventListener without SystemManager or Application.application, or could you provide a better workaround? How can I use the addEventListener, do I need to overwrite EventDispatcher, which I wouldnt like to do?
Just to clarifiy, if i remove the systemManager in front of addEventListener(CustomEventOne.EventOne,sysManHandleCE,false) it will not add it and will not fire.
The code below is an example for this problem that the event is not getting fired in the right moment. The mainapplication got only a button with the customEventOne that gets dispatched.
public
class MyCanvas extends Canvas{
public function MyCanvas()
super();
width=300;
height=300;
addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,handleCC,false,0,true);
private function handleCC(event:FlexEvent):void
removeEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,handleCC);
addEventListener(CustomEventOne.EventOne,handleCE,false,0,true);
addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,handleEvt,false,0,true);
systemManager.addeventListener(CustomEventOne.eventOne,sysManHandleCE,false,0,true);
private function handleEvt(event:Event):void
trace("In removed from stage handler");
systemManager.removeEventListener(CustomEventOne.EventOne,sysManHandleCE);
trace(hasEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE));
trace(hasEventListener(CustomEventOne.EventOne));
trace(hasEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE));
private function handleCE(event:CustomEventOne):void
trace("I got it");
private function sysManHandleCE(event:CustomEventOne):void
trace("I got it");
public class CustomEventOne extends Event
public static const EventOne:String = "EventOne";
public function CustomEventOne(type:String, bubbles:Boolean=false, cancelable:Boolean=false)
super(type, bubbles, cancelable);
override public functionclone():Event
return newCustomEventOne(type,bubbles,cancelable);
Thank you in advance,
Michael

I think you need to look at event propogation. The object that dispatches an event will be sitting on the display tree. The event propagates up the tree to the roots. Your canvas should be attached to the application, but even then it sits lower in the tree branches than the event dispatcher, so it won't see the event being dispatched because the event is not propagated to the children of the object that dispatches it but to the parent of the object that dispatches it.
So, your canvas is a child of the application, but dispatching the event from the application means that the canvas doesn't see it because events are notified up the tree using the parent link, not the child links.
You may wish to investigate how the display list and event propagation works and then the MVC pattern.

Multiple JPanels on top of each all receiving mouse events

I have multiple JPanels that are painted on top of each other. Each one has mouse listeners that listen for mouse enters, exits, etc. However, it appears that Swing is only propagating the mouse events for the most visible panel (the one that is on top of all of the others). Is there a way to configure Swing in such a way that all JPanels on the screen will get the mouse events, even if they aren't entirely visible on the screen?
Thanks,
-- Ryan

Hi,
You can implement mouse listener for panel and you can identify buttons in the panel with the mouse event of panel using MouseEvent.getComponentAt(MouseEvent.getPoint()) instanceof JButton or not.
I hope this will help,
Kishore.

JTextArea over JLabel(image for background) Can't Receive Mouse Events

Hi, I use JLabel for putting background image to a JWindow. But when i put a JTextArea component, i can see and edit the contents but JtextArea only receives keyboard events. When i click on it ,its Focus Gained Event is not fired. No blinking cursor is shown.
I tried to use JLayeredPane and put them on different layers but it doesn't solve the problem.
I searched the Forums but can't find a suitable answer.
Any comments please...

hey man,
your problem happen not because your JTextArea over a JLabel, but cause JWindow not take focuse before jdk1.4, so if you need to see your blinking cursor just replace your JWindow with a JFrame.
for the JTExtArea focusing problem, u may refer to the sun bug forum there is a lot of work around.

JLayeredPane not recieving mouse Events.

When I try to add a MouseListener to a JLayeredPane, it does not pick up the mouse events at all. Or when I even try to add it to the only JPanel I added to the LayeredPane, still no mouse events. I never set the glassPane to visible, so I have no idea why the mouse events aren't going through.

Your code won't compile. For one the layered constructor is within your MouseAdapter anonymous class. You are far better off posting compilable code here.
edit: also, you are not overriding MouseAdapter methods. That would help get your code to work.
Try compiling with an @Override annotation to see what I mean:
private MouseAdapter exitListener = new MouseAdapter()
    @Override
    public void MousePressed(MouseEvent e) // does this compile? MousePressed != mousePressed
      System.out.print("yrs");
}capitalization matters:
MousePressed != mousePressed

Purchase Order Workflow - dialog step not receiving terminating event

Hi,
We have a scenario wherein based on the release groups and release strategies, different peope need to release the PO's.
I have been able to develop the workflow for this successfully, but here is where I am facing an issue.
After the PO has been created, based on the release group and strategy, it gets routed to the appropriate 1st approver. On their approval, the PO gets routed to the 2nd approver. Once the 2nd approver approves, the dialog step doesnt get completed and is still waiting for the terminating event. Event trace shows that the event is getting published, but there is no workitem to receive the terminating event. I am not sure why this is occuring for only 2nd approver onwards whereas for the 1st approver, the terminating event is received by the workitem.
I am using start conditions for my workflow to ensure only 1 instance of the workflow is triggered for a rel groups and rel strategy and release code, else I am multiple instances each time an approver approves the PO. I am not sure if the start conditions are causing this issue with the terminating events not being received with the workitems.
Any assistance is welcome.
Thank you,
Satish

From the information provoided it seems you are using PO that is subjected to Release of PO for multiple Release Code and each Release Code Release is being done by one approver. If that is the case then I think the Terminating event should get caught. Please check whether the Terminating event that is getting triggered is specific to the Release Code or not.
Thanks

RichEditableText with embedded images does not handle mouse events reliably

I'm using Flash Builder "Burrito". downloaded a couple of weeks ago. Flash Player 10.1.85.3 debug version.
I have the following MXML object:
<s:Scroller
width="100%" height="100%"
xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
skinClass="components.skins.SxScrollerSkin"
>
<s:Group id="myGroup" width="100%" height="100%">
<s:RichEditableText id="myRichText" >
</s:RichEditableText>

</s:Group>
</s:Scroller>
With the following Actionscript to initialize, etc.
 textContainer = new SxBorderContainer(name);
 textContainer.dx = dxAvailable;
 textContainer.dy = dyAvailable;
scroller = new SxScroller();
scroller.move(dxPadding,dyPadding);
scroller.dx = dxAvailable
scroller.dy = dyAvailable;
textContainer.addElement(scroller);
var richText:RichEditableText;
richText = scroller.richText;
richText.toolTip = toolTip;
richText.enabled = true; // required for mouse click capture
richText.selectable = true; // required for mouse click capture
richText.width = dxAvailable
 var textFlow:TextFlow = TextFlowUtil.importFromString(textFlowString, WhiteSpaceCollapse.PRESERVE);
 richText.textFlow = textFlow;
And the following code to catch events:
 richText.addEventListener(FlowElementMouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,userMouseEvent);
 richText.addEventListener(FlowElementMouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,userMouseEvent);
 richText.addEventListener(FlowElementMouseEvent.CLICK,userMouseEvent);
Here's the problem. If I have embedded images in the TextFlow that is imported into the richText, I only catch "some" mouse clicks. It's hard to know, but it seems that only mouse clicks into white space (between paragraphs) are caught. Mouse up and down are caught, but not "click". Very puzzling.
TextFlow like this:
 <TextFlow>
 <div color="#442222" fontFamily="Times New Roman" fontSize="20" paragraphSpaceAfter="15" textIndent="15">
 
 
 Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, `and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice `without pictures or conversation?'
 
 
 
 So she was considering in her own mind
 <img source="assets/library/alice/images/White Rabbit.png" height="auto" width="auto" float="left" />
 (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
 
If there are no embedded imags, I get all clicks exactly.
Is it a bug? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Oz

Thanks for the answer. First I need clicks anywhere in the RichEditableText (no links or images). I use the selection manager to find the exact word that was clicked.
The next step would be to capture clicks on links and images.
I have tried using MouseEvent and had the same result (or worse) as FlowElementMouseEvent. I will go back and retest with your suggestion.
Oz
Result of retest:
I catch clicks only over images embedded in the TextFlow. I catch only mouse up/down over text - both MouseEvent and FlowElementMouseEvent.
Puzzling. Where are the clicks going?

Problem with TextLine not getting mouse events when expected

Hi All,
I am cross-posting the discussion I put on the TLF forum here (sample code is in that post)
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3768763#3768763
The issue is to do with non/slow response when clicking to edit multiple TLF text elements on a base group. Thanks to some extra work by Jin-Huang the problem is apparently that when the edit functionality is set (by setting the interactionManager), the TLF class cannot receive any more events until the mouse leaves and re-enters the TextLine you are supposed to be editing. This sounds like a Flex bug.
I guess my questions are (1) is this actually a Flex bug? and (2) does anyone know a workaround so the thing can start accepting input immediately without further mouse actions?
Thanks,
Darryl.

What happens if you use two RichEditableText controls or two TextAreas
instead? By trying to install your own editing controls, you might have to
fully conform to the IFocusManagerComponent interface for focusable
components otherwise you might run into issues like this.

hi andrew
thanks, i dont see a checkbox for 'publish events', do you mean the
'enable auditing' checkbox? this seems to be producing more events now.
