View 1 RepliesI am trying to stop the browser from scrolling when using the arrow keys within flash. It makes it impossible to play the game if the browser is always scrolling up and down when your using the arrow keys to play the game. Ive searched around but google seems to think I want a scrollbar in flash.

I have created a car game, but the only problem is the page scrolls when the player presses the arrow keys!
I've never had this problem before, usually once you activate the Flash movie then page scrolling is disabled.
When I use my arrow keys to control the car, the page in the browser scrolls up/down.
The problem with this is when you press it a few times, the page scrolls enough where you can only see half of the Flash movie or something and it ruins the game experience.
Note: When I press the UP arrow key, the car moves forward AND the page scrolls. So it's not a matter of focusing on the Flash movie.
he problem I'm having is I can't make this code reusable- I want to use it in a more linear fashion for banners rather then dynamically with mouse clicks. Has anyone had any luck using this in a timeline?This is my attempt to customize at the moment (old_loc is coming up as undefined, which in turn makes new_loc NaN):

I am quite new to the world of Flash (as far as developing anyway), so here's my question: Can Flash intergrate Bi-Directional Dynamic Text? I know Flash can read text (from a text file) and input it Dynamically in a movie, but can it do the reverse? Can it take text, data, and/or variables created by actionscript or input text fields (both from within the movie) and write it into an existing or new text file?
View 2 Replieshow to change the directional arrows to keyboard letters on keypress. the browser scrolls when i press arrow up and down arrows and it's quite annoying. i just want to change the keypress of up arrow to w, then left arrow to a, right arrow to d and down arrow to s. just one of any will do then i'll do the rest.

whether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?

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?

View 2 Repliesusing the authoring tool to test,I find I can only read certain keys via:stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);
But when I test in a browser, I can indeed read all the keys. So the IDE must be intercepting certain keypresses. E.g., I can read w and d but not e.
How can I read all keys? Testing in a browser all the time is a bit inconvenient
The objective is to get the fox - by using the arrow keys - to move around on the stage and when he touches a duck the duck should disappear of the stage. The duck has a motion tween on it, to make it fly.Also if the fox touches one of the traps he should make a sound - using the redfox.wav sound in the library and disappear off the stage.I have this code on the actionscript timeline //Program to generate a set number of traps

I have done up a flash demo which uses the computer mouse to navigate. Now instead of using mouse, I want to use keyboard (arrow up, down, left, right) to highlight buttons and then hit "enter" key to click the button.
View 2 RepliesI 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!

I'm learning Flash and Actionscript and playing around with some different features. I have an MC of a car and have coded them arrow keys to move it left and right and the up and down keys to adjust the speed. It also flips the MC horizontally based on which direction is pressed. There is a startover button that goes to the beginning of the timeline, and a back and next button.
Everything works except I have to click on the stage to get it to recognize the key presses. Once I click the stage it works fine. If I go forward and come back it won't work until I click the stage again. I THINK it was working correctly last night, but I was playing around with some of the images and code this morning and realized it wasn't working right anymore...or maybe I just didn't realize I was clicking the stage last night.

I'm building a simple app where an image displayed changes based on which image is selected in the combobox. Pick a different image in the combobox, the old one transitions out, the new one transitions in. Easy, right? So while the transition is taking place, even though I disable the combobox (.enabled = false, and I remove the Event.CHANGE listener for the combobox, I can still scroll through the combobox's options with the up/down arrow keys. I'd like to lock that ability out temporarily
