I have a simple flash project with a TV and a remote control. right now there are arrow buttons on the remote control that i have setup so that when you click on the button it goes to another frame. now my client wants it also setup so that when they hit the arrow buttons (up, down, etc) that it goes to a certain frame.
View 6 RepliesI'm completely new to AS3/Flash programming, though I program in C/C++/C# in my job. These days I got a project idea which I think Flash would better fit than the other languages I mentioned above. I want to create an on-line automation application that can:
1. Control user mouse clicks, or eventually keyboard, pressing some keys;
2. Communicate/connect to the user's bluetooth device, establishing connections to the mobile devices attached to it - the web application in this case would act as a server.
I have the follwoing code to control a Flash-based presentation but BACKSPACE and ENTER lkey are not working. I am puzzled. PD: All the rest of the keys works fine.

in AS2 how would i use the down arrow key to make the timeline play? at the moment i have this and i presume i need to put something after that to make it play. [code]but i presume this is totaly wrong because the "stop();" doesnt stop the clip when the "if (Key.isDown(40))" bit is after it.

View 5 RepliesI have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

I created a Movie Clip with a button inside it. The Movie Clip contains simple animation within its timeline. I dragged the Movie Clip to the main stage and tested the movie/ My goal is to have the button start the animation inside the Movie Clips timeline but it is not working.The Movie Clip instance is named 'film_mc' and the button inside it is named 'first_btn.' The frame is labeled 'one'. I tried these two Action Scripts that I put on the main timeline. Where am I going wrong?
film_mc.first_btn.onRelease=function(){
film_mc.gotoAndPlay("one");
}

I have an swf file, MyRoundButtons, which is a set of radio buttons I built (not components). It works fine, but if I import it into a parent it won't work anymore. I have to write a script to load it into a movieclip, (which I hate, because I'll have a several different swfs to assemble on my final stage. I really want to see them all on the stage together, not just at runtime.)
Even when I load it into a clip and the buttons work, however, it doesn't seem to have a separate timeline when double-clicked ,and:I can't make the imported buttons control the timeline of the parent.I defined a test function:
Code: Select allfunction goToNirvana() {gotoAndPlay("nirvana")};
Frame "nirvana," in th parent, has a Trace instruction in it.
goToNirvana works on its own in the parent. [code].....
Whether I define that function in the child, the parent, or both, the instruction won't work. Now, I'd prefer not to do the loadMovie thing at all if I can avoid it, I'd rather have fully rendered button clips onstage at authoring for me to arrange and move about, with fully independent timelines right there. But you see what I'm trying to do. I just can't get it done.
I have this code on a frame in the main timeline:
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,startSquare);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,addPoint);
[code]....
When I test it, it seems to ignore most keys, but notices others. I went through the alphabet, and it only responded to dguw&x
Here is my code:
[Code]...
The code for KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN seems to work fine. But, the rest of it returns the error "1119: Access of possibly undefined property Key through a reference with static type Class." How do you call a function for Right, Left, Enter, and Escape Keys?
I want this code to move my map i.e map_mc when the keyboard keys are pressed. When I add it to the map_mc, I see no effect what do u think I am messing with.
Code:
on (keyPress "<Left>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX - 2;
} on (keyPress "<Right>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX + 2;
} on (keyPress "<Up>") {
currentY = this._y;
this._y = currentY - 2;
} on (keyPress "<Down>") {
currentY = this._y;
this._y = currentY + 2; }
Im making a game and trying to find the best keyboard keys. I mean, if u are holding down shift+d+f the final key f doesn't work bec. of keyboard buffer. etc. If someone know what kind of keys are the best match for flash 2 player game post them here please. So when like 6 keys are pressed at one time, the last keys pressed, will still work. And player won't get stuck.
Here's the current status of the game.Current keys. P1: LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN + L as turbo P2: E, D, F, S + SHIFT as turbo u can try the shift+d+f combination to see what i mean. [Code]...

1) My game is playing differently when i am debugging it & when am i testing the movie(ctrl+Enter), the difference is that in testing movie the keyboard keys(i hv called the keyboard event key up & key down ) are not working first time, when player loses the game fiirst time,key start to work properly
2) It is working slowly, when i loaded its compiled swf with another swf but working fine when played individually, i hv specified the different stage.framerate for both swf in their corresponding class.
Doing flash interface project with only the 4 arrow keyboard keys and the "a" key as the activater! No mouse allowed!!I have created movie clips which have a roll over affect created by an array but i now want to make these movie clips into button which can be selected using the arrow keys and the "a" button. Which then takes the user to the desired page. Really dont want to change them from movie clips format .
View 3 RepliesI am trying to use Javascript to intercept keyboard events, so I can do CMD-W for "close-window" and whatnot, inside a Flash application, so the Browser doesn't get to use them. Well, I am able to listen for ALT, CTRL, and CMD onKeyDown/onKeyPress events, but I am not able to listen to anything else...
Here is the code, in the index.html file from a Flex Project:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.onkeydown = function(event) {applicationKeyboardHandler(event)}
document.onkeypress = function(event) {applicationKeyboardHandler(event)}
function applicationKeyboardHandler(event) {
alert("Key Pressed")
} </script>
I would like to make it so it could listen to any key press, not just alt/ctrl/cmd.

Im having a problem getting responsive keyboard movement. I have a key_up listener which fails to trigger when 3 keys are down. E.g. Imagine up and right keys are being pressed to move up + right. The user wants to change to moving up + left. The user presses the left key before lifting thg right key. I have a key_up listener to detect when a key is no longer being pressed. However in this scenario it fails to trigger when 3 keys are pressed. Even in this online example, there is the same problem, look how unresponsive it is when chaging from up right to up left really quickly. [URL]

I created a presentation in Flash. And I embedded the following keyboard control scripts so that I can pause the slide by pressing "Spacebar" and play it again by pressing "Enter".[code]I also embedded getTimer script to delay the speed of the flow so that key-point can be loaded one by one.[code]Other than the above keyboard control, I also add four buttons at the right bottom so that I can play and pause, fast forward and rewind by clicking those four buttons.
1. the 1st and 2nd slide cannot be paused by the above keyboard control command.
2. the play and pause buttons at the right bottom is not functional in the 1st and 2nd slide.URL...
Here's my situation, I'm making a stick fighting game, where this stick figure fights others. I have the basic moves done inside a mc. I just tried to use Kirupa's tutorial on how to animate that bug with the keyboard arrow keys, but it didn't work. It moved the whole screen. All I want to do, is when you press the left or right arrow keys, the movements (the mc's name) move to the left/right. I attached the .fla. The basic controls are the left arrow animates it left, the right animates it right, and the enter key makes him punch.
View 1 RepliesI do not know how to insert an animation stops to give the presenter time and forward or backward in a linear and PowerPoint by pressing any key. Similar to typical PPT slideshows and will insert a small clip light and animation films. "My idea is that every time they click on any key (no button) on the film, forward motion up to a certain frame and so on until the end of the presentation "
View 1 Repliesby default the flash slider component can be manipulated with the keyboard. Is there a way to disable this behavior so that users can only drag the slider component with their mouse?
View 3 RepliesI am very new to AS3. I have not wanted to migrate to it, but have been forced to do it for a current project which uses AS3 components. I am creating a slideshow (full screen) and will be creating each slide as a separate SWF file. I have been successful in loading and unloading the slides (SWF's). I need to use the arrow keys to move through the slides. I have that working, but want to load the slides without hard coding everything in each frame of the main timeline. I am using a var to get the currentFrame value. All is well exept that if the left arrow key is pressed and the main timeline is on FRAME 1, the playhead seems to think it can go backward to frame zero and then into negative numbers with each press of the left arrow key. I need to be able to stop the timeline from advancing backward at frame one. I have tried several methods that either do nothing or cause the right arrow key to work unpredictably and keep returning to FRAME 1 no matter what if statement and evaluation I perform. Here's the current code on.[code]

View 3 RepliesI have created a simple menu with 4 buttons[code]...
What I need to do is control this menu with the cursor keys. For example, right key selects the button on the right, down key selects button below... etc. Once selected, the enter key will invoke that button.
I followed the tutorial and built a carousel and it works great. I linked up some xml and I've got pretty much just what I want. I understand the math _ sort of _ I never paid much attention in math class so the whole 3d thing is a train wreck for me.
What I really want to do is setup arrow keys to control which item is in front. I've tried hit tests to check the next/prev item and then stop there.. but the timing is sort of per project - meaning I need to set the rate or amount of items each time I want to change anything. I even tried setting intervals to set the speed to 0 after # milliseconds. Nothing works quite right.
I'm trying to control (via the arrow keys) a simple box "movie" on the main stage using this code:
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode( ) == Key.LEFT) {
this._x = this._x - 3;
} else if (Key.getCode( ) == Key.RIGHT {
this._x = this._x + 3;
} else if (Key.getCode( ) == Key.UP) {
this._y = this._y - 3;
} else if (Key.getCode( ) == Key.DOWN) {
this._y = this._y + 3;
}}
I keep getting this in the Output window when I test the movie.
Scene=Scene 1, Layer=box, Frame=1: Line 8: ')' expected
Because here in my game the main character is controlled through mouse and i want it to be controlled in left and right arrow keys. Here are the codes:
on the character itself:
onClipEvent (load)
{
Hedding = false;
left = this._width / 2;
