Creating a custom mouse pointer in AS3 seems like a basic task, and it is, kind of. There are some pitfalls that developers seem to fall into more often than one would think. In this post I’m going to walk through the whole process of making a custom cursor.
This is the last part in this short serie of two where we use real world examples to show you how you can create and use your own custom event classes to write customizable and reusable code that you can use in your ActionScript 3.0 projects from time to time.
In this second part we’ll take part one a step further and write classes to load images using the XML-file we loaded in part one.
If you get the hang of using your own custom events in ActionScript 3.0 you can streamline your development and get more control of your code. This is the first part in a serie of two where we’re going to show you how you can create and use your own custom events.
In this first part we’re going to use a real-world example and use a custom event-class to load XML more smoothly. We’ll also go through how you create a document class and how you link it to your flash document.
There are many times when you want to listen to link events from TextFields in ActionScript 3. You might want to perform a certain task when the user clicks on a link and if so the new feature in ActionScript 3 that’s called “link events” come in handy.
