ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Detect Key Presses (Sth Else)
Feb 8, 2009I have recently been working on creating a game similar to the good ol' Asteroids game. So far, I have managed to create a very simple piece of code that rotates and moves my spacecraft according to the angle it is currently at. There are two problems with it, though:
1. I can't use two buttons at once--for example, to rotate and move forward. I'm sure there must be a better way to detect key presses. What's the best way to do it in AS3?
2. The way the whole thing works looks kind of jerky and stage. Another thing is, the spacecraft is constantly at an odd angle for no apparent reason.
Here it is ("sc" is my spacecraft movieclip):
var SC_speed:Number;
var SC_rotation:Number;
var SC_radians:Number;
SC_speed = SC_rotation = 0;
function keys(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To Detect 2 Key Presses At Once?
Jun 19, 2009When I say two keyboard presses, I'm thinking about a situation where I would need to detect both. Not a shift this or alt that or control third. I'm talking about Down + A or 5 + T. For instance: Ryu has an overhead attack that is used when both Down + MP are pressed. If I were to create a game, with ActionScript 3.0, is there a way for me to detect that both buttons were pressed at the same time?

Anyway, Lets say that I want it to point North-east when I press D+W. whats the easiest way I can use to get it to detect Multiple key-presses.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Key Presses - But Only For Some Keys
Dec 9, 2010I have a really strange problem. I've made a custom class that listens for keyboard events such as key presses (I use it in order to navigate in an interface).

However, when I publish the file and starts the projector (or the swf for that matter) one key ('g') isn't doing what it should!

Sep 19, 2007I set up some code to record key presses and specific chords. My problem is that I only want the keys to fire once when pressed. This is especially a problem when I require the user to hold CTRL + LEFT for an action.
The user experience is that I want users to hold down CTRL to enter a mode and then press the LEFT key as many times as needed. Currently, the CTRL trace and LEFT trace fire continuously. Is there a way to do a onKeyRelease?

keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine Time Between Key Presses?
May 28, 2009How would I go about determining the time in-between key presses in AS3? Basically, if a user is tapping the space bar to a beat, I want to be able to average the time in between 10 taps/key presses and get an output time in milliseconds.
My thought was to use an interval and after every press I would add that amount of time to an array. After 10 presses, I would take the average of all the numbers in the array and then output that number.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: React To Simultaneous Key Presses?
Jan 26, 2011I am familiar with taking in keyboard input in AS3. I was wondering if there was a way to capture and process simultaneous key presses.I don't mean when a user holds down, say, the up and left arrows at the same time and an object moves diagonally. I mean when they actually press down on the keys simultaneously, like in a video game where 2 simultaneous button presses performs a new action.Currently, I have a class that reads whenever a user presses a key and assigns it to an instance variable. Then, each frame, the class pushes the key into a storage array if the current key pressed doesn't match the last key pressed. Each key is stored for 60 frames before being dumped if it isn't processed.

Dec 15, 2008My program beings with a frame with a "play" button on it. Once he "play" button is clicked the user is taken to the second frame to play a game. Control for the game is done via key presses. The control works well; I'm able to move the sprites and so forth. However, my problem is after the user clicks "play" and is taken to the second frame the game will not recognize key presses until the user has clicked the applet again.
