ActionScript 1/2 :: Click A Keyboard Key To Make A Mc Play?
Feb 22, 2011
I've been looking for this for years, and a good friend of mine that is a master at AS3 is not well versed in AS2, so I thought I'd ask the pros here.onClipEvent(mouseUp) on(release)I have code like these two examples on a mc (sometimes a button, I only use buttons in AS2) on the root timeline. Usually I use a mouse-click to activate them, but there's this one mc I'd like to have work via a keyboard keypress. What I can do is make the first frame of this mc blank, and the 2nd frame and beyond have elements to expose. So I was thinking I hit the key "v" to play this mc that resembles a volume overlay screen for this UI I'm working on

I'm brand new to Flash, and I have a motion tween of a wheel that spins 360 degrees and I need it to play when it is clicked on. This is probably something that's really easy to do, but I just can't figure it out.

We have imported our video into flash cs4 (we are using presentation mode to mimic a powerpoint presentation), we have gone into the component inspector and altered it so it doesn't autoplay. When it is on autoplay, it plays the audio throughout the entire presentation. We want the video to start on click (hit the spacebar or return or anything).

I have a movieclip (a), inside another movieclip (b), on the main timeline. I want to click on movieclip (a) and make it go to and play a keyframe on the main timeline. I'm used to using buttons for actions, not movie clips, and I forget how to use the _root thingy.

I am building a flash interface and I would like a menu where it is hidden to begin with (just a tab). You click the tab to expand it, and click again to collapse it. I've made a movieclip with animation of the menu opening up and closing, but I can't seem to work out how I'd go about making the movieclip open and close properly.

So I'm trying my hand at writing my first tower defense game and I've discovered a snag. One part of the game involves keyboard input, but if I click on an object to create a tower, then the keyboard stops responding until I click on the background. My keyboard listeners are attached to the stage and the object being clicked is a button in a MovieClip added to the game's MovieClip.

Everything was working great.We were instructed to build upon this simple design and add a welcome screen and a game over screen with a click to play button and a click to quit button. I was able to successfully create those screens in new frames on the timeline and have them gotoAndStop at the original game frame, but now instead of being able to move the avatar with the keyboard arrows, I have to click the stage first to use them.

I have a test button i would like to have play a movie where a graphic expands. Once stopped, I would like to be able to click that same button and have the graphic go backwards. I would prefer to have timeline reverse, rather than lengthen the timeline of the mc because then i have to line up the start and end, and if one changes, i have to remember to change the other.
btn_test.onRelease = function(){ if (_root.adinstance._currentframe != 1) { while(_root.adinstance._currentframe != 1) { _root.adinstance.prevFrame(); else { _root.adinstance.play(); }}

I have a key.addlistener setup to listen to key events. What I want to be able to do is to dispatch key events by for example a mouse click or just on load. I've tried a lot of possible solutions such as dispatchEvent with type as "onKeyDown" and "keyDown" etc.... but key listener simply do not treat it as a keyboard event.
Code:
var eventObj = new Object();
eventObj.type = "keyDown";
eventObj.code = 13;
eventObj.ascii = 'e';
dispatchEvent(eventObj);

I am rather new to AS3 and I have a few difficulties with the new buttons usage. I have a Document Class in which the Keyboard is used to navigate a Child. There is also another Child of a different class, which is kind of a popup box that you can open and close by separate buttons. The close button lies inside the popup box class. However, when I click this button to close the box, removing the Child, keyboard actions don't react until I click on the screen once more.The same happens when I click a button that goes to the next frame, in which the button isn't there anymore, but keyboard actions are requested. But they only work, once I click inside the swf screen again.

I have a 4 frame game that moves from frame to frame depending on what the player does.On the first frame, I have an intro and a button to get to the main portion of the game, frame 2. The frame loads up and the game code runs, but until the player clicks again on the stage, the keyboard controls do not function.The code for the button is straight forward. I have a button object and the following code in the frame:
playGame.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); function goodLuck(evt:MouseEvent): void { gotoAndPlay(2); removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, goodLuck); }

I am making the board game Shogi in actionscript 2 and I have a question on how to detect a particular imput.I have a movie clip on the stage, I want it so that if I hold down the keyboard button "p" and then click on the movie clip, it will go to the movie clip's frame 2 (not the entire flash project's frame 2, just the particular icon's frame 2. I need this because I am using movie clips as game pieces and in Shogi, certain game pieces can be promoted. I also was wondering how to detect what frame it is on.

I have two scenes in flash - when you go to scene 2 there is a eventListener attached to the stage to move a movieclip. When I test the movie the only way the keyboard listener seems to work is if I click on the stage first, then the object will move. Is there a solution to this. The code I am using is:

I'm having some problems with the code below. It may be something small that I am just not seeing. I basically have a drop down window and a button named btn1. The first click makes it pull down on the main stage, the second returns it to frame #1 by rewinding the movie. Well... It only works once, I need it to work multiple times, so I am missing something.
ActionScript Code:
on (release){
if (this._currentframe == 1) {
this.play();

handling global keyboard events in Flex, is to attach a listener in the application complete event of a Flex application. However, no matter what I try, I have not been able to catch events without clicking on a point on the page, which is hosting my Flex application.
Moreoever, if I use a Flex component in a web application, where there is also html and Javascript, I'd still like to be able to grap global keyboard events, even if the embedded flex component (in flash player) does not have focus. So is there a reliable method for connecting flex applications and components (when they're embedded in a web page) to keyboard events?

I want my animation to STOP when I press SPACE, and then PLAY when I press SHIFT. This needs to be in AS3. The only catch is that my whole animation is composed of 5 Scenes. Would this be a problem? Also, I'm confused as to where I should add the code. I have it in a class and it still doesnt work. I tried putting it on the 1st frame on Scene 1.

I'm quite new to Actionscripts and I hope someone can help me with two issues I'm having. I have a rather long timeline that I want to use the Keyboard to play particular sections of this timeline. I can get the Keyboard to jump to the specific frame I want, but I don't know how to indicate that action to stop at a particular frame, and then to loop that section.
So, for example, if I press the UP key, I want it to start playing from frame 5 of the timeline to frame 14, afterwhich it will loop until I press another key.
My other question is how do you script a Keyboard to play audio?[code]...
