ActionScript 2.0 :: Scrolling By Using Keyboard?
Dec 14, 2009
I'm building a website where the user can navigate it by keyboard. I'm having difficulties getting the srollbar to work by keyboard, I have it built but I need to work it in if you press shift+right arrow key, it will go to the right, and if you press shift+left arrow key it will go to the left.
As of right now I've tried many different ways of doing this but have only created a mess of my actionscript. When I did get it going to the left or right, the scroller would automatically go all the way to right or left without stopping.
I've enclosed my sample file. and here is my actionscript minus my attempts of working the keyboard actions in:
ActionScript Code:
fscommand("allowscale", "false");
gbar.useHandCursor = gdragger.useHandCursor=false;
space = 20;
[Code]....

I'd like to know what AS3 code is necessary to have a scrollable menu of buttons using the Keyboard class. I am creating app similar to a Yahoo widget, and I would like for the keyboard to simulate a remote control in the prototype. The keyboard's directional buttons (up, down, left, right), the "backspace" and "enter" button would be used to navigate. I have found AS3 code on how to move objects using keyboard commands (up, down, left, right, back), like in a game, but not how to move the target area from one object (button) to another. The changing target would be a clickable button using the "enter" button.

I 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 have a spark List with an item renderer and a tile layout. If I scroll by clicking with the mouse on the scroll bar and trying to scroll with the mouse wheel after that, there is a problem: The interval of the scrolling is oversized, instead of scrolling one item down (or up) the List scrolls 4 items down (or up).

This is a repost, but I've still not figured out a solution. I have a Flash movie that appears on a webpage. The Flash contains scrolling content ( scrollpane, text field, whatever).
The containing webpage is tall, and therefore also has scrollbars. My Problem: When users try to use the MouseWheel to scroll through my Flash scrolling data, the browser page scrolls as well. It's very annoying.
I would like to be able to have the MouseWheel scroll my Flash scrolling content when it's over the flash, but scroll the webpage when it's not over the Flash.
Does anybody know a way to supress wheel-based browser page-scrolling while my mouse is over a Flash movie??? Is there a way to eat/stop propagation, whatever, of the wheel event in the brwoser, either from Flash or from Javascript?

Well basically I've got this one frame in my animation. It's got three buttons and an input text box. One of the buttons goes with the text box, but I want the enter key to do the same thing (gotoAndStop) as the button. Unfortunately I've not a clue how.

My keyboard shortcuts have quit working. I'm not talking custom shortcuts that I have defined. The default Flash shortcuts just don't work anymore.Before anyone asks, yes, I have made sure the "Disable keyboard shortcuts" option is turned off. I'm running Flash CS4 on a Windows XP pro machine.

add some functionality to the presentation template. Currently you can only move from one page to the next. So if I want an animation on a page, no problem I'll just add a stop script at the end. No big deal. But if I want Multiple animations (just trying to replace powerpoint here) then I get into trouble.
Each page is one frame on the main timeline. Hitting left/right goes to the next frame, unless the movieclip on that frame also has additional frames. Then it should move to the next frame within that, etc.
I can't figure out that if statement though. I had another bit of script going on my first go, but ran into some issues so thought it best to create all of the scripting on the main timeline. Initially I created a boolean variable, then ran an if statement. Inside of a movieclip I switched the boolean and used the same keyboard interaction to walk through it. On the last frame of that movieclip, I switched the boolean back so the main timeline interaction kicked in again. The problem is, that's a Lot of copying and pasting of that code, and I can't figure out how to go through more than one parent. I just couldn't get it to work.
Should I just be building this thing in a Completely different way? I need to make something, so for now I'm splitting up each frame that I need different animations on and creating a different movieclip for each section. Ideally that would be contained in one movieclip's timeline. Currently one each animation's interaction will be on a timeline. So I have to duplicate the slide to add an animation. So if I have a title come in, then a pie chart, then an image, then another piece of text, I'll be stuck with 4 separate movie clips.
I want something like:if current movie clip current frame is == total frames, clicking right goes to next frame, else go to next frame of it's parent's timeline.I say the parent and not stage because the way you have to set up transitions only works within a movieclip. So you have to set up the entire slideshow within a movieclip if you want transitions between each slide. Right?
I don't care about transitions for now, but will want control of those eventually.

is the following scripts correct to stop animation by pressing "Space Bar" if the animation is playing. And to play the animation again if the animation is paused. Is there any additional criteria need to be added to make it more solid.
keyListener = new Object();var isStopped : Boolean = false;keyListener.onKeyDown = [code]....

I want a keyboard letter in this code:
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT))
{
this._x += 15
}
As you see now there is the right key that is attached to the code but I'm making a 2 player game and I want one of the players to use the letters WASD. Just putting the letter D in there dosen't work.

This boils down to being able to listen to key presses when the application doesn't have the focus. I've tried adding listeners to both stage and NativeApplication, but when the app is minimized it doesn't seem to listen to key events.
Just for the record, I'm trying to implement an app that behaves in the way Spotlight does. It runs on the background and it appears to the user after a keyboard shortcut combination.
If this is not possible, I think I would have to use some sort of helper app to listen to the keys and pass them on to the AIR app via NativeProcess, but it seems a little bit too complicated.
I'm planning to get this working on AIR 2 beta in at least Win and Mac.

I'd like to tell if a certain key is being held down around the startup of my AIR (desktop) application, and I'd like to tell if a specific key (ALT in this case) is being held down. Unfortunately, flex seems to be so event based that there is no way poll the keyboard directly. Can anyone verify this?
I know that it's possible to take the keyboard events and keep track manually. However, this won't work if the user presses the key right before startup, so it isn't a solution for my specific problem.

I have migrated my app from Flex 4.5.1 to Flex 4.6 and the TextInput click event was broken so I do this « skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" » (like was suggest here [URL]..and all seems work (tested in my Android and seems ok) but one user with iOS 5.1 complained that now the keyboard dont popup ?
Also complained for the TextArea that I dont have code in my extended component but also use the skin spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin so the layout became similiar in my textinputs.

just a quick question - most tablets and devices have a touchscreen keyboard that will allow the user to enter text. we've all seen them a million times.
How do I
a) set the keyboard to a different type (say numeric) b) how do I change the "done" message to something else say in iOS when it's the ENTER key (i've noticed many apps that do that) c) how do I capture the "ondone" event or "onsubmit" event in Flash builder 4.5.1

I'm trying to write a simple counter. UP or Space increments a number and DOWN decrements. It's just one big number in the middle of the screen. A bell rings on an increment and I have added code to go full screen on mouse click.
Test mode works fine ( except for full screen of course).
Seems to work fine on the local machine using Safari 3.2.3
However if I try to run it locally using firefox it does not work.I need it to run on a laptop but it does not always acknowledge the keyboard events and while in full screen it never responds to the keyboard events.Laptop is running Safari 3.2.1
