Is it possible to detect when a user is clicking while simultaneously pressing a button on the keyboard? For instance, if a user presses "a" on the keyboard and then clicks on a specific movie clip, I'd like to trigger an animation.

I'm making the simplest swf for a friend who has real problems remembering the actions of a Left and Right click with the mouse. So I would like to show text when "Right" click is detected and the same for a Left click. This at first seemed an easy project but the right mouse detection has got me baffled.
View 4 RepliesI know that datagrid can detect changes of single mouse click with
//add listener
myDataGridList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, myDataGridListChange);
public function myDataGridListChange(e:Event):void{
trace(myDataGridList.selectedItem.id);
}
but can they detect double mouse click?My purpose of doing this is that, if the user double click on a datagrid row, I need it to return me value of myDataGridList.selectedItem.id, so that I'm able to continue to proceed to the next stage of my game.
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.
View 3 RepliesIn AS2 I did this:
ActionScript Code:
ContactVerDoor.onRelease = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) if (Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT)) {
//Do something
}
}
I now need to code it in AS3.Can I still check if a key is down without listening for the keypress events? I understand how to code the Mouseclick in AS3.
How do you detect when to keys are pressed together. For example, if I press W and E together, I want something to happen. How do I do that?

I want to be able to detect when a certain key is pressed. Not the preset ones like spacebar, enter, delete, left, right, etc... I want to make it so that when the letter "a" is pressed, then such and such happens, and if the letter "m" is pressed, another thing happens.
View 3 RepliesI need to find a way to detect if the middlemouse button(Mouse 3) is pressed, I have tried to use ASnatives and it worked well..but once you fire up the flash stage in a fullscreen mode the ASnative seams to stop working or any other way of detecting the mousebutton?
View 0 RepliesI have it like this so far:
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, KeyPressed);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, KeyReleased);
public function KeyPressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void

and so far it works good, except when I press shift. If I'm holding the left or right arrow key and then I press shift, the object stops moving and doesn't do anything. However, if I release the arrow key and THEN press and hold shift, it works perfectly. How can I make it so that I can press shift while I'm holding the arrow key and still have it work?
I have a very simple piece of code but it has one very annoying bug. When I press the button a second time, the code doesn't work. The only way to get the code to work is by moving the mouse a tiny bit, or moving the mouse off the button and back on. make a button that can be clicked many times without moving the mouse?

I'm working with a MovieClip ("mainMenuItem") that is linked to a Class ("GenericMenuItem.as") that uses attachMovie to add another movieclip ("Arrow") to mainMenuItem as follows:mcArrow = this.attachMovie(prefix+"Arrow", "_Arrow_symbol", this.getNextHighestDepth());I'm able to use on(release) within the Class definition to capture clicks on the mainMenuItem component, but haven't been able to find a way to detect a click on the "Arrow" library item that gets attached to that component.

I need to be able to detect a MOUSE_LEAVE on the instant the mouse leaves the stage no matter if the mouse is DOWN or UP. This seems to be impossible or a limitation in AS3. The MOUSE_LEAVE only gets dispatched if mouse is UP or after the mouse is released outside stage. Is there any API like isMouseOutsideStage instead of using listeners which i can use instead? stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT) is also not applicable because whenever my slide show changes images, MOUSE_OUT of stage gets dispatched which is undesirable.
The code below works perfectly where it detects a release or release outside if event.target is other than myButton. The weird thing or perhaps an undesirable behavior is that if i release outside stage, event.target equals myButton thus detecting a "release" instead of "release outside". I think that when we release outside stage, the want event.target to be null.

I've just hit a really strange bug with a program I'm creating. The program allows the user to add shapes (currently all squares: SmallThing, MediumThing and LargeThing) to an area of the screen, then drag them about by clicking and draging using the mouse. Pretty simple. Unfortunately, the code seems to be failing for the smaller shapes (they're not THAT small, currently the smallest shape is 32 x 32) which are not generating mouse events at all. I have used trace statements to verify this. I am having a few issues with the larger shapes ocassionally not registering mouse up events, but I can live with this - the main issue is with the small shapes not being moveable.
All the shapes are descended from the same super class, and have the same event listeners added to them when they are created.
Here are the relevant functions in my Screen class. It's all pretty basic code so I really can't see what the problem is.

I wanna detect the direction of mouse movement. If the mouse moves tpwards the left or right of its currrent position, i want to detect it. Is there anyway to identify such movement. Actually i am implementing a 360 degree rotation of image. That means , if the mouse moves along the left side of its current position, then the image should move along its left side, otherwise it should move along the right side. For example, view this site:

i have some movie clips on the stage and the background of these movie clips are, of course, the stage. now, i need to detect a click on any area of the background(the stage) to do something to the movieclips above it.What I did is, I laid a movieclip which has the same size as the stage, above the Stage and below the other movieclips. I then set this movieclip to visible = false. Next, I thought I could use onMouseDown to get the clicks but unfortunately, it isn't working because onMouseDown detects the click on anywhere I click.I am not using onPress because I don't want to have the hand cursor appearing on the entire flash movie.
View 2 RepliesI have a swf that needs to change states based on whether or not the mouse is hovering over the swf or if it's outside.
I've tried doing things such as stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, fnc) but it triggers whenever the mouse goes past different movieclips within the swf.
And since I have interactive elements, I can't just slap a movieclip over everything and add a listener to that.

Is there any way to get the mouse location (or at least an estimate), even when it moves outside of the stage area?The reason I need this is that I am trying to detect how fast and at what angle the cursor is moving, not necessarily the location of the mouse. It works fine until you move the mouse outside of the stage area, which happens a lot, and then just doesn't record the mouse location until you move the mouse back on to the stage. Impatience leads to confusion. Confusion leads to anger. Anger leads to the dark side.
