onClipEvent() 681

Example

The following example uses onClipEvent() with the keyDown movie event and is designed to be

attached to a movie clip or button. The

keyDown movie event is usually used with one or more

methods and properties of the Key object. The following script uses

Key.getCode() to find out

which key the user has pressed; if the pressed key matches the

Key.RIGHT property, the playhead

is sent to the next frame; if the pressed key matches the

Key.LEFT property, the playhead is sent to

the previous frame.

onClipEvent (keyDown) {

if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {

this._parent.nextFrame();

} else if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {

this._parent.prevFrame();

}

The following example uses onClipEvent() with the load and mouseMove movie events. The

xmouse and _ymouse properties track the position of the mouse each time the mouse moves,

which appears in the text field that’s created at runtime.

onClipEvent (load) {

this.createTextField("coords_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100,

22);

coords_txt.autoSize = true;

coords_txt.selectable = false;

}

onClipEvent (mouseMove) {

coords_txt.text = "X:"+_root._xmouse+",Y:"+_root._ymouse;

}
