ok, so i know there's a Key.isDown() function, but i need a key is pressed function,i simply don't know the function name, i've tried Key.is Hit (not cussing here, but without the space) and Key.isPressed.i've done some research and the closest i've seen is key.isToggled, but that only works with caps and num lock. the reason i need this is for a simple pause menu activated when "p" is pressed.
View 1 RepliesI have a button on my page and when I click it, I'd like a sendAndLoad event to happen. The button's instance name is button. I'm not sure how to get the sendAndLoad to be activated when the button (in this case a submit button) is pressed. I know that sendAndLoad is with the LoadVars class so I'm not sure it can even be called within a button actions. Here is the sendAndLoad I'm trying to use:

I'm using the code below for an infinite looping menu but this menu code makes it move on its own. I want the looping/movement to be activated by the user literally dragging up and down. Does anyone know how I can alter this code so it responds to the user dragging up and down.

View 9 RepliesIm trying to make some sort of hearing check to see if your ears are still functioning the way they should be. In my program the user is shown 9 images (for example an image of a cat) The images correspond to the 1 - 9 keys. (Im not sure if this is relevant but i'm programming for a Flash Lite application to be run on a mobile device)So let's say the image of the cat is number 1. The sound of the cat is being played and the user has to press the 1 key on his keyboard. However for this to be possible the script must pause and give the user the oppertunity to press the correct key.How can i make sure the script does not continue until a key is pressed after playing a sound.Below is my code so far:
Code:
stop();
var pressedKey = new Number();

[code]Is there a way to check for when a key is released? Because here is the problem. It's a pause button, but what happens if you hold it down for too long? First it will check to see if the 'p' button is pressed and that the game is not currently paused. "It's not, ok, pause the game." But since it's checking this same if statement 24 times a second, say you accidentally hold it down too long and it goes through the same if statement again: "Ok, the 'p' button is pressed, but the pauseGame is false. Ok skip that and move down to the else. The 'p' button is pressed and the pausegame is true. Cool, set the game to unpaused." In less than a second it managed to pause and unpause the game because the conditions were correct both times.Is there a way to avoid this error? With a button they have the onRelease to solve this problem. How do I fix it for a keypress?

So i am working on a pause menu for my game. I have an inventory box that has slots for weapons, powerups, and other items. I wanted different boxes that are specific to each type of pick-up (weapons, powerups, other). So I drew a box with 3 frames, it is set up similar to tabs in a web browser; click on weapons tab and you see your weapons in your inventory, click on powerups tab and you see the powerups etc...
In each frame I gave the inventory slots different instance names, i.e. in weapons; weaponSlot1, weaponSlot2, and in powerups; powerupSlot1, powerupSlot2.
When the player bumps into an item, i use gotoAndStop('frame number') so that each item is added to the proper inventory slot. the only problem is that if i bump into a key then pause the game, the key is there (under 'Other' tab), but if i click the 'weapon' tab and then go back to 'other', the key is no longer there.
This makes sense because when you click on each tab, i use gotoAndStop('frame number'), and in each frame the inventory slots are blank, so im stumped on how to keep each item in the proper slots?
I am going to i upload all my files in a zip, the main file that you will want to look at is the PauseMenu.as file
Also you will notice 3 public functions called 'checkWeaponSlots', 'checkPowerupSlots', and 'checkOtherSlots'. These are called in my main file, when the player bumps into an item, these functions are called to check which slots are empty.
I have a function on root:
_root.fadeBox_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (fade){
this.nextFrame();[code]....
This causes a mc to fade in and out on rollover/rollout. But what I wanna make is a box that fades in when pressed on the button and fade out when pressed for the second time. But if I say
on (press){
_root.fade = true;
}
the mc fades in, but I cant do another on (press) to fade out. Is this too confusing?
I am struggling a bit with keys on the keyboards controlling a movieclip to happen.Ive got a person moving when pressing right and left, and a movieclip with three frames: First frame is a movieclip with the person standing still, looking bored. The second frame is the person moving right, and the third frame is the person moving left.This is the code that Ive inserted into the persons actions on scene1:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {_x += speed;this.gotoAndStop(2);_xscale = +scale;}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {_x -= speed;this.gotoAndStop(3);_xscale = -scale;}
this code works alright accept that when the keys are not pressed it doesnt stand still, the legs are still moving, so I tried to include this code aswell:
if (!Key.isDown(KEY.RIGHT)) [code]....this makes the person standing still when not pressed but not moving the legs when turning right and left.
The "size" is 1200x800 pix, and here is were the problem is. When a person look at the site with a 1280x800 or smaller a bit of the site is not there. I don't want to resize the file, so i thougt that the easiest way to solve this problem were to input a scroll, but I can't get the damn scroll activated. Do i need a huge actionscript or is it as simple as mark somewhere in publish (when you create the html-file) need answer as fast as possible.

And yet none of this works. The trace doesn't even go off, meaning the constructor is never activated. It's linked properly; if I go to the movie clip's preferences and hit "edit class file" it takes me to the proper one.It's possible that the problem lies with the frame numbering. The first time this object is added to the display list is in Frame 2...and it says "export in Frame 1" but I'm not exactly sure what that means or how it affects the class definition or how to get around it. I tried adding it (var sb:SoundButton = new SoundButton in the first frame,
I'm trying to figure out how to get buttons to be activated by keyboard presses. I have found how to do that with specific keys ... but not with ANY keypress. I'm making a game for tiny children and they can't manipulate the mouse well. So I'm setting up a few things on stage that will run in a certain order when the child presses any key on the keyboard. For example, any key is pressed, dog wags his tail .... any key is pressed again, cat jumps, any key is pressed a third time, cow munches hay, and so on till it goes through a bunch of animal animations, then goes back to the first one. I'm pretty new at this stuff and have been banging my head against google for days trying to find the answer to this out there with no luck! I could do either movieclips or movie clips inside buttons if that makes sense.

I'm creating a platform game, and I want the character to hit a button which would take them to the next level (keyframe).
I want it to work like a normal button, except for the character on the screen, on contact with the button to transport into the next keyframe, rather than the user having to click the object.
Also, is there anyway to do this while at the same time (while changing to the next keyframe) keeping the score, so it adds up with the next levels points?
