The problem is that when I am moving left and up, "pink"-a "blue"-s and "green"-d work. When I am moving down and right, none work. When I am moving right and up, only "pink"-s and "blue"-d work. I have tried changing the order of my code but it does not work, What am I missing?
The trace function in this file doesn't output all of the keycodes on my keyboard. Some letters generate a keycode and others don't. For instance, "u" outputs 85 but "i" outputs nothing.
Here's the trace function trace(event.keyCode);

I'm using ActionScript to listen for key presses and route to a method to handle them. It works fine in Flash Player Debugger 10.1, but does not work with the SWF in a browser. I've tried it with all sorts of keys: letters, numbers, etc. But I can't get it to work at all in the browser. I'm using Safari 5.1 and Firefox 3.6.8 on the Mac. Here's my relevant code:

I came in to flash on ActionScript 3 and when I was starting out just over a year ago I realised how much of a bother finding keyCodes was and changing controls was just as long as had to look up the new one I wanted to use. My solution was to (eventually) write a class that handles all of my key presses and event listeners attached to that stuff. instead of using keyCodes, the functions use strings for their arguments making it easier to see what keys you want to do what. Initially the class only worked for letters and numbers but I managed to make it easily customisable and includes the arrow keys, numpad numbers, space, enter, shift and control keys.
The reason why I wrote this thread was because: I plan on making it a public class (available to anyone who wnats to use it) and b) to see if there were any specific functions that people think may be useful. So far there are the standard key-down and onRelease type functions as well as a function that only returns true once for the duration that a key is down - difference between pressing and holding.
I am taking feed files from an XML, so in order to make those not throw out errors when reading the XML, I convert all entities to their numerical equivalents and write them as "�" for example.This then gets imported into a database, so that it now has "�" in the database.
I then take the text in the database and use that to generate a new XML file, which still contains the "".Flash then reads this XML file and displays the text.Now I think every character is fine (haven't seen all of them, but seen many), including "" (), however, for some reason, the ï symbol refuses to work () and it just displays and not the symbol.
This is really simple, but I can't it after spending 20+ minutes searching on google! I just want a function that turns a number into a character; basically the inverse of mystring.charCodeAt(0). For example-

I am working on a Flex project that is interfacing with physical hardware.Using the AS3 command of socket.send I can set a particular feature on the physical hardware.The problem I am having is I need access to send from the Extended ASCII codes.[code]This would be translated to me sending two numbers to the hardware.7F and 07. The Dec equivalent of these Hex codes are 127 and 7.The hardware takes these two numbers and calculates a length along with a third integer.[code]
Unfortunately the Hex 88 is in the extended ASCII table.The highest the regular goes up to is 7f which is a Dex of 127.I need the ability to send full 0 to 255 numbers in ASCII form.I can't send from 128-255 without using the codes from the ASCII extended table.I get an error every time I try to send something form the extended ASCII table back from the hardware.Can anyone confirm that AS3 does not support the Extended ASCII codes?
I'm running some script using the charAt() function, that is supposed to return the character at specific indexes in a string, however for some reason it is returning ASCII values.

View 1 RepliesI want to create a board class from canvas, which will allow to track click position on it in coordinates like A2, where A...D is Y coordinate in some scale and 1...3 is X coordinate [URL]What I want to create is a kind of convertor from canvas localX and localY to my new coordinates like A2.I am thinking of implementing if condition this way if (0.4 - x*size(from 1-3 here)/canvas.width <= X <= 0.4 + x*size(from 1-3 here)/canvas.width)
X = x;
This way I can assigned needed coordinates in X range. e.g. 1, 2 ,3 etc But what to do with alphanumeric range. (if for example I want to make it extensible)...
How can I check if a string has any other character than the ones listed here: [URL]
I would like to know if the string was inputted in any other language than English. Is finding special characters in the string the best way to detect non-english characters?
I'm trying to allow ascii codes to be entered into a textField, using num codes (ALT+Num), and am seeing some very strange behaviour. If I enter: Alt + 14, I get a charCode of 9835, and ♫ is displayed in my trace output, but a placeholder square is entered in the textField. If I enter: Alt + 0014, I get a charCode of 14, placeholder square is displayed in trace, and ♫ is displayed properly in the text field.

View 7 RepliesI know letters have a number code to them, or ascii code, how can I use this to trace a letter with a number, for example lets say the ascii code for the letter 'a' is 97, in AS3 is there a way todo something like:
trace(asciiToString(97));
to trace out 'a'.
In Sweden we have these characters (and of course also in caps). But my MySQL db can't store characters, so if I look in the db and search for my name, Bostm, i can't find it..The search is ran from within flash (mx2004, and from there to a php-script, wich then sends the matching row back to flash.I want to convert all thein a string, and to be able to reconvert them when flash gets the string back... So the string should be stored in the db with the encoded...(am I confusing you now?)And I can't use the html-code for 'cause if the php-script prints this: Wow... quite an explanation...Ok, short summary:
AS-sting: Bostrm
>encode (so that =ASCII or so)
>send to PHP-script

I need for my little project know a way to do following things:
- Getting any character from string (preferably operating on strings like on 1 dimensional arrays)
- Get ASCII code for character
- Convert number which contains ASCII code to character
use unicode character 187 (hex:BB) or ascii character 174 as a seperation character in my mysql database.This was working great in one of my swf files but not flash keeps reading an extra character. [code]The trace output from this looks like this: 1«1.If I change the php so that it's sending a 1B1 (no special characters) it works ok.I tried using the ASCII version and the Unicode version alt-174 and alt-0187 and both return this extra %2c character.I have tried urlencode from php, but even sending a 1%BB1 provides the same results.I can't fathom why it would all of a sudden start adding extra characters. So should I change my seperation character. If so, what's recommend? If not, should I check every variables from php for this extra character and remove it?

In AS2 you had the functions ord() and chr() which specifically converted ASCII codes to their string equivalents.
However in AS3, String.charCodeAt() and String.fromCharCode() work with Unicode values.
Is there any way to convert a string character to its ASCII equivalent and back?
I've used a Kirupa tuto for loading externat txts in a dynamic text box and works...but the problem is I'm spanish and we use accents and the break c: �So I changed the externat txts to html files in order to use accents, but...as Flash uses the "wonderful" ampersand to change between texts blocks, everytime I write an accent or a � , Flash thinks this is the end of the text and hides the next text.So, there's is a way to use externat txts or html with non standard ASCII loaded in Flash?

How on earth do you restrict "ENTER/CARRIAGE RETURN" key ASCII 13 on input textfields?
View 5 RepliesI have run into this before, and just ran into it again, and was completely confused how a bytearray converted to a string was only 4 characters long. The problem is, if you EVER try to append a NULL character (not the ActionScript null, but the string value of the char 0), it cuts off the end of the string when printing out in trace or displaying onstage. HOWEVER, if you trace out the length of the string, you get the full length, so the problem arises trying to print the contents onto trace or the stage.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to find a way to add to the front and back of a word in a string based on the letters it starts with.
For example if I had a string "I think http://www.facebook.com/ is better than http://twitter.com" it would look for the instance of "http://" and give me "I think <b>http://www.facebook.com/</b> is better than <b>http://twitter.com</b>"
