Alert.addEventListener help

[Shotsy247]

Hi All,

I am using the Alert Component but having a bit of difficulty.

The help files say that I can add a click event to the Alert to capture when it have been clicked. To do this they add an eventListener to the Alert. When I do this, exactly as they have in the help files it returns an error "The property being referenced does not have the static attribute."

How do you listen for an Alert box to be clicked and take action when it is?


Thanks.

Hi,

May try this example (Requires an Alert component in the Library, and a button on stage named "myButton" -to launch the Alert-):

AS:

// IMPORTAN: This script REQUIRES:
// 1) An "Alert" component in the library
// 2) A button on the stage named "myButton"  (to launch the Alert)

import mx.controls.Alert;

// USE this button to launch the Alert
myButton.onRelease=function(){
    showPopUp() // Launch the Alert window
}

function showPopUp(){
    myAlert=mx.controls.Alert.show("Hello there", "Test Alert", Alert.CANCEL |Alert.OK) 
    myAlert.setSize(300,120)
    myAlert.closeButton=true // Add a small close but (x) at the top right of window
    myAlert.addEventListener("click", HandleEvent);
}


function HandleEvent(evt:Object){

    var ButtonID=evt.detail
    
    if (ButtonID==Alert.CANCEL){
        trace("CANCEL clicked")
    } else if (ButtonID==Alert.OK){
        trace("OK clicked")
    } else{  // When the small close button on window clicked
        trace("The small Button (x) clicked")
        evt.target.deletePopUp();
    }
}

trace('NOTE: Need a button on stage named "myButton"') 

See the output window for the events when click the Alert buttons..

Regards!
