Question

ok so, i wrote this code:

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Stage;

stop();

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
var defUrlReq = new URLRequest("indexCoontentLoad.swf");
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
var myLoadedSwf:MovieClip = null;
var swfStage:Stage = this.stage;

/////////////// INITIATE LOADERS /////////////// 

loader.load(defUrlReq);

/////////////// START MAIN HANDLER FUNCTION ///////////////

/////IMPORT DEFAULT SWF /////
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loadedHandler);
function loadedHandler(event:Event){  

    myLoadedSwf = event.target.content;
    addChild(myLoadedSwf);

    trace(myLoadedSwf);

    myLoadedSwf.gotoAndPlay("intro");
    trace("STEP 1 -- ext def swf loaded");
}
///////END IMPORT. ///////////////


///// START LISTENERS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS /////

load1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn4Clicked);
load2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn4Clicked);
load3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn4Clicked);

///// END LISTENERS /////


///// START FUNCTIONS /////

function btn4Clicked(e:MouseEvent):void { //-- START btn4Loaded
        if (e.target == load1 || e.target == load2 || e.target == load3) {
            myLoadedSwf.gotoAndPlay("outro");

            removeChild(myLoadedSwf);

            urlRequest = new URLRequest(e.target.name+".swf");
            loader.load(urlRequest);
            addChild(myLoadedSwf);
        }

}

and it works, once clicked, it does what it has to do. Ofcourse, me trying to break it, i found that if i click the buttons fast, it will re-import the external swfs causing me to have multiple instances of the external swf.

so in short, if i click like normal(slow ) ie like a person that clicked to view a section etc, then its fine, if i click fast or repeated clicking ie like a person that double clicks etc, then the problem occurs.

any ideas how to fix this?

thanks in advance.

edit*** heres a link to test file to show what i mean

Answer 1

When you set doubleClick to enabled on your movieclip, this will work. The Flash runtime will thencheck for you if it is a double click and only trigger your method once. If you want to listen for the double clicks, you can by changing the event handler.

mySprite.doubleClickEnabled = true;
mySprite.addEventHandler(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);

Good luck.
