is there a command in flash that takes multiple key presses? For example if the user presses a then b the frame will advance. Note, I dont want them to have to be held at the same time.

I have, lets say an arrow, it points up when you press w, left when a is pressed, down when s is pressed, and right when d is pressed. This is done through animations, and simple gotoAndStop commands. 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. If any more explanation is needed I can easily explain further.
View 3 RepliesI am making a game using AS2, in which the user controls the character with WASD. I am making a tutorial level in which the level only advances past the first frame after the user has pressed W, A, S, and D. The level is a single frame in which there is a movieclip that has all the enemies. I made an offscreen button in the movieclip which has the code
Code:
on(keyPress "w"){
var w:Boolean = true;
}
[Code].....
When I run it, nothing happens and it stays on the first frame of the movieclip. No errors are shown in the output panel.
Is it possible to hook multiple keyboards to a single computer and have flash differentiate between the key presses of the keyboards?
View 3 RepliesI have two swf files that I would like to play in sequence in a main flash file. The two swf files are partA.swf and partB.swf. I set up two frames using this actionscript 3 snippet: Frame 1:
Code:var partARequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("partA.swf");var partALoader:Loader = new Loader();partALoader.load(partARequest);addChild(partALoader);Frame 2: Code:var partBRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("partB.swf");var partBLoader:Loader = new Loader();partBLoader.load(partBRequest);addChild(partBLoader);
I made sure to set new loaders that correspond to it's proper swf file. So partA.swf goes with partALoader and partB.swf goes with partBLoader. I noticed that individually they work great. If I just set up frame 1 or frame 2 by themselves, the swf file plays. When placed together, however, either frame 1 plays without going to frame 2 OR frame 2 plays by default without playing frame 1 first.
How can I get this to work properly in sequence? Just to break things down, this is how I would like the set up. 1. Play frame 1 which plays partA.swf, 2. Stop when finished and go to frame 2 which plays partB.swf 3. Stop movie, no need to loop. 4. Would like to have option for adding more swf files I don't use flash much, so guidance with code is much appreciated. I would think this is a simple task, but searching for a proper solution hasn't been successful. Also just to clarify from previous searches and posts I looked at: I am not using buttons, and this is using actionscript 3.0 not 2.0, and this is using only .swf files.
I'm planning to break my Flex applications into different modules and need some advice regarding the loading of modules.Currently, on load of the application, I need to add 5 modules as children to HGroups under a viewstack.I'm using a ModuleManager to perform this and listens to the ModuleEvent to add the elements as IVisualElement under the HGroup.
View 1 RepliesI have created a number of flash files, and now want to combine them all into one single movie file. For example, the files run like this: section1.swf - section2.swf - section3.swf - section4.swfI have created a 'host' file, to load the individual files, but I want to play these files in sequence. So that at the end of section1.swf, section2.swf will play and so on.... Can anybody guide me as to what is the most straightforward method of doing this? I have little or no knowledge of actionscript so the simpler the better for me

I'd like to import dozens of images and have them in sequence in a single layer. I did this once before, I made a .swf out of a video game cutscene and I recall importing the images to the stage then I asked somewhere else how to make them appear in the layers field. Then I did something that put each image in its own layer and I had to manually move them and make them appear in sequence.
So if anybody knows how to import and put in a single layer in sequence or simply import each image into its own layer

View 7 RepliesWe have a flash website built using flex and CS3. Majority of the site has been done using flex. We have multiple flash movies on a page and we obviously have the page loading very slow. Now that we are looking into options for making the page fast, we are trying to understand whether we can run these flash movies in parallel ? Is there some provision in CS3 to make the flash understand that this object will be loaded and ran first and then the second object.

Rather than affecting one variable, one key press makes all the others true as well
I 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{

I 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). When I test my file in Flash (using 'command'+'enter') all key presses work as they should. 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!
View 2 RepliesI 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?
Code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {

When 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?

I need to disable the keyboard after each key is pressed, so if the user presses the UP key until the character has finihsed doing the move no other key can be pressed.
How 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.
trying to count key presses in a 30 sec interval. if the number of keypresses is above say 20 in 30 secs they go to a new frame, otherwise they go back to the start and the count begins again. using as2 and flash cs4. very confused.... not sure if onEnterFrame is better than keyListener.

Basically, I want to create a button (Instance Name: blueSquare). Each time the button is pressed, I want actionscript to "count" each button press (the maximum is 100 presses). When the number reaches 100 presses, I would like a new button to appear next to it ( Instance Name: redCirlce).
