I've created a calculator and it works fine. The only problem I have is that I want to make it easier to use. How can I for example how can I have the calculator respond to my keyboard instead of having to click the number. Instead of having to get the mouse and clcik the 5 I rather just press the 5 on the keyboard.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a basic flash calculator except it only has to be able to square the number provided by the user, I have followed many tutorials but I keep getting the NaN as the output. Here is the actionscript:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
square_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
squareClick);

I also need to have Input box and Error Messages & Highlighted Input Box.
I'm trying to make a calculator that takes a number that is input and then runs it through a formula and outputs it.
Elements:
Input1_txt
Input2_txt
RadioButton1
RadioButton2
Output1_txt
Output2_txt
Output3_txt
Output4_txt
Submit_btn
What I am trying to do is:
part 1. Take the input number of Input1_txt and if RadioButton1 is selected then divide Input1_txt by 2.20462262 but if RadioButton2 is selected then just take the number in Input_txt.
part 2. The outcome of part 1 to be multiplied by (100 minus Input2_txt) then divided by 100.
part 3. When Submit_btn is pressed outputs:
Output1_txt = The result of part 1 minus the answer of part 2, then multiplyed by 2.20462262 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output2_txt = The answer of part 2 multiplyed by 2.20462262 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output3_txt = The result of part 1 minus the answer of part 2 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
Output4_txt = The answer of part 2 (and rounded to the closest whole number)
I'm using Flex 3.5 and I have a Text object with an anchor set in the htmlText property. The link only works on every other click. Is this a known problem in Flex?I've done a simple case and I've found out that I get this problem when the htmlText is inside a TabNavigator object. If it's outside it works as expected.

View 12 RepliesI 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.
View 6 Repliesim trying to create a conversion utility that uses number input via calculator style buttons to generate conversion for the following distances:
-Miles to/from KM
-cm to/from mm
-binary to/from decimal
Now i was thinking of possibly having the options contained within an drop down and an input text field where the numbers are entered via the calculator buttons. The only thing im struggling with is how to perform the actual calculations on the different formats. Has anyone had to do anything similar in the past? Ive only found currency conversion examples and not sure how to apply that to these conversions.

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.
View 4 RepliesI'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
View 5 Repliesi'm using actionscript 3 in FlashBuilder 4.5in my top-level class that is derived from the Sprite class, i added a keyboard listener:stage.addEventListener( KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, HandleKeyboard );i don't get any keyboard events until i click the mouse button in the screen area - then the events work fine.i tried setting the stage.focus to stage and other various things,
View 8 RepliesEverything 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.

View 2 RepliesI 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 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.
View 3 RepliesI 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:

View 11 Replieshandling 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?

My Flex application is heavily keyboard-oriented. It uses 100% of the browser window and I'd like the user to be able to start using it immediately - as soon as it loads. However, it seems that the application is only first "activated" (i.e. the activate event fires) when the mouse clicks somewhere inside it, which is very inconvenient for my keyboard-heavy app.
Can I force an activation of my app at some point during/after it loads? I hope I don't have to display some silly "click inside to activate" overlay every time the page loads..
In certain browsers ([cough] Chrome [/cough]) the focus is lost whenever the user switches away from the browser (or even touches the address bar) and is not regained when switching back. So the solution has to take in consideration not just the first focus when the page loads but also "re-focusing".
