I am creating a software product demonstrator. The software uses the Escape key to let users get out of menus - crap I know, but that's the way they do it! My problem is that I want Flash MX to look out for the Escape key being hit within my demonstrator and then go to another frame when it is hit.
View 2 RepliesI've made an AS3 AIR proggie that works with PHP to look at a specific online directory of mp3s, get it's listing, and download to my local machine. It works fine, except when a song name has '&' in it. I'm not sure how to escape ampersands, or where the escape needs to happen - PHP or AS3? Here's the relevant AS3:

I am having a problem trapping the HELP key in OS X. Every other key I have tried seems to work. I have the "Disable Keyboard Shortcuts" checked in the Control Menu.
My code is pretty simple:
Code:
if ( (Key.isDown(Key.HOME)) )
{
infobar_sequence();
debounce = debounceConstant;
[code]....
The HOME key works fine, as does the PGUP key, however I get no response from the HELP key? Anyone else seen this? Know how to solve this?The weird thing is that I can verify the keycode for the HELP key by doing a
[CODE]trace(Key.getCode());[CODE]
which outputs a "47" whenever I hit the help key btw, I am using Flash 8.0 on OS X.4
Is it at all possible to test if a sound file has not been found? Every tutorial I have read regarding sound.loadSound and sound.onLoad has been focused on everything being fine and flash finding the correct file. I need to be able to get a flash movie to continue as normal if the sound file is unavailable.
For example: My flash movie loads in a sound then waits for the sound to finish before continuing using the sound.onSoundComplete event. This wont work if the sound is not present, and so the movie stops and does nothing. I have tried to use sound.onLoad if (success == false) but flash seems to go here before it even starts loading the sound file, making my movie believe that no flash file is loading even though one is.
how can i disable the escape key in flash so that my full screen can only be changed to normal when a button is clicked?

I'm currently trying to make a basic escape the room game in Flash, and for some reason the last couples of entries I have made for the code aren't working. Right before adding these lines, everything worked and I already know that each object has been converted into a movie clip or button and has the correct instance name.

I want to load as many bitmaps as are in a folder, looping back to the 1st when I run out of files. I've modified code I found elsewhere for the error trapping, but it doesn't work. Instead of getting the traced 'Errorhandler: ' + event, I get 'Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.' in the output window.

I have a flash site that users can view full Screen video. the trouble is, I am making only the video player full screen (hiding the rest of the site behind it).
my "toggle full screen" button works in that it reduces the video player back to normal size when the user toggles out of full screen back.
but when the user hits the escape key, my flash script doesn't know that the video player should be reduced in size.
it seems there's no way to capture the ESCAPE key as a key event

I used the fscommand("fullscreen",true) in my application to make it fullscreen. However when the user presses the Escape key, the window goes into the normal view. Is there any way of disabling the Escape key to make my movie in fullscreen all the time? and the only way to quit the movie is my clicking the label I created 'Exit' with the AS command fscommand("quit");

View 3 Repliesi have a nice piece of code to set the fullscreen with dynamic text formatting (below)
what i am trying to do is add in a key event listener for the escape key, so that if the user hits esc instead of the button, it will also reset the button's 'normal view' settings
i have tried to do a test in a separate fla but even with just a trace on the function, when i hit esc all the swf does is stop (odd!)

I am continuing my long switch from AS2 to AS3 finally... and I thought I'd start by making something simple. An "Escape The Room" type game, should be easy right? Just pointing and clicking? I loaded up my file for folks to look at.. I guess my big question is what I did wrong.. I thought i set up the buttons correctly and my Event Listeners.
nail_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, objectFound);
But Flash doesn't like SOMETHING I did, I should be able to click and drag things if I knew what I was doing :P

Now that I have the focus on my DataGrid and I can select a row using the up and down keyboard arrows, I then would like to confirm my row selection by hitting the enter key.But, my keydown listener on the DataGrid doesn't see the enter, escape and delete keys. Most of the other keys are seen. I can browse the list by using the up and down keys (and I can see my function in the keydown listener are called).It only happens when I check my application from the Flash IDE. In debug mode, these keys are taken into account.My DataGrid is not editable but selectable.

I have 2 btns that toggle between fullscreen and normal state. I'm trying to detect if the user presses the ESCAPE key to return to normal mode so I can apply the same actions to it if the user had clicked the toggle btn to return to normal mode. I tried passing a listener for the escape key but it doesn't seem to detect.
