Actionscript 3 :: Detecting Alt KeyDown Keyboard Event In Flex?
Nov 9, 2009I am trying to detect the key down event for the alt key in flex. I have a standard event listener for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP but don't get any response for the alt key (or ctrl key).
I know I can detect if the alt key was pressed via a mouse event, but I want to update the cursor when the alt key is pressed to show it will perform a different action from when it's not pressed.
I am using Safari on a Mac for developing so let me know if perhaps it's an isolated issue.
Flex :: Keydown Event For Editable Datagrid Flash?
May 23, 2011All i have a flex editable datagrid. By default if i press the left navigation arrow key , it moves to the left but not to the next cell. I would like to override the keydown event such that if the left navigation arrow key is pressed down i set the focus to the next cell on the left.
In short the user needs to be able to navigate using the keyboard through the cells using just like in excel(currently the arrow keys move between characters within a cell).

View 1 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Explicitly Call Functions On Keydown Event
Sep 14, 2009I have a function that is called on a keydown event. Inside the function I do this:
function keyDownHandler(event : KeyboardEvent) : void {
if(cursorMoveCnt < 5 && event.keyCode != Keyboard.ENTER) {
trace(i);
trace(cursorMoveCnt);
stage.focus = arrayOfBoxes[i+cursorMoveCnt];
cursorMoveCnt++;
}
I want to call the same function after every 20 seconds even if enter key is not pressed by the User. Can I create the same effect as pressing the Enter key through code in some way so that the code within the if condition inside the function gets executed?
Actionscript :: Keydown Event Reusable Code / Write Once And Use Anywhere In Flex Application
Apr 5, 2011I am new to flex framework.I have created an application using flex framework 4.1 which is having various components that are shown to the end user in the form of a popup window using <mx:TitleWindow>.This titlewindow is closed either on the click of the close button (displayed in it's titlebar) or by pressing the "escape key" on the keyboard.I coded a functionality wherein I close the current TitleWindow whenever an 'escape' button is pressed.Here is what I did.On the keydown event of TitleWindow I called this function.[code]I had to repeat this code for every TitleWindow that I have used in the project.How can I write the above functionality only once and reuse it amongst various TitleWindow and other components so that the code for the same is not repeated across various components? Every TitleWindow that I am using has different code, scripts and layout in it.

View 1 RepliesCS3 Send An Argument With A Tween Event?
Mar 17, 2009What I want to do is to remove an item from the array targetArray when the tween hitFade has finished. I added a MOTION_FINISH event to the hitFade tween which calls the spliceTarget function. I wanted to send an argument to the function indicating the targetArray index to splice, but apparently I'm not allowed to send any argument.
how do I send the targetArray index (i) along to the spliceTarget function?
I'm guessing that I could put i into a global variable and use that in the spliceTarget function, but that seems kind of roundabout.
Code:
var hitFade:Tween = new Tween(targetArray[i], "alpha", Strong.easeOut, targetArray[i].alpha, 0, 1, true);
hitFade.addEventListener(TweenEvent.MOTION_FINISH, spliceTarget);

ActionScript 3.0 :: Send Event To Child?
Feb 19, 2007Is it possible to send a custom event to a child?
[Code].....
when I click the parent, it gets click event. in the click event handler, the parent dispatches a custom event of type E. and the child is listening for E. obj.dispatchEvent() by default targets for obj it is called from. So, the event being dispatched won't reach the child if obj had one. Is there a way to send an event from parent to child? Better yet, is it possible to send an event to an object not in the DisplayList nor is a DisplayObject (the object is instanciated, but it doesn't have graphical role in the program)?
ActionScript 2.0 :: Send The Variable X To Each Movieclip So That It Can Be Called From Within Each Movieclip Instead?
Aug 1, 2005I have a loop that creates movie clips where the movie clips are named mc_+ x for say x = 1 to 10 so the movieclips are called mc_1, mc_2.....mc_10.
What I need to do is the know which one of the movieclips is clicked on but more importantly the number i.e if movieclip mc_2 is clicked on then I need to use the value 2.
At the moment I am sending the value of x to be displayed in a text box within each movieclip:
_root.search.textfield.text = x;
Then I have a piece of actionscript that uses the value of x but I don't seem to be able to "re-read" the value of x back with:
var t = _root.search.textfield.text;
what I want is t = x is it to do with strings and number variables?is it possible to send the variable x to each movieclip so that it can be called from within each movieclip instead?

ActionScript 2.0 :: KeyDown To Frame Question?
May 4, 2007I have code that, when pressing the left or right key, will go to the next frame within my movie:
Code:
stop();
this.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) {
this.prevFrame();
[code]....
However, this will go to the next frame and stop.How can I get it so it will go to the next frame and play through the time line until I put in a stop command?Or, along the same lines, how could I set it so on keyDown it will go to and play whatever frame I choose?
Professional :: Trigger An Event To Send The Playhead To Another Frame And Load Another Swf?
Mar 7, 2010I am in the final stages of building my new web site: http:[url]....On most of the pages in the portfolio there is a video "Commentary" link (top right corner).Each of the commentaries are flv called up by f.ex:
myMCL.loadClip("http:url.....);
Once the video is done playing, it fades to black.I would really like the flv to trigger an event to send the playhead to another frame and load another swf.I could use a pause command and let the main time line pause so many milliseconds and then proceed, but it is probably not consistent how long it takes each viewer to download the video and watch it.

View 6 RepliesFlex :: Set The DG In Focus From Stage KeyDown Handler?
Feb 25, 2011My app has a datagrid as well as many other UIComponents (buttons, menus, etc). I have a general stage KeyDown handler as well as a specific one for the datagrid. The behavior I'm trying to implement is turning out to be trickier than I thought: basically, when using the keyboard arrows I would like the datagrid to always hear about such commands, even if it's not in focus.
Possible approaches I thought of:have the DG be in focus at all times: seems stupid / tricky - basically would need to remember to give focus back to DG after any interaction with the rest of the UI, which obviously doesn't scale.try to set the DG in focus from stage KeyDown handler: seems like the timing doesn't work since the DG gets focus too late to "hear" the event.from the stage keydown handler, check if the DG is not in focus, and if so pass it the event. This seems to make sense in theory, but I'm not sure how to do this properly since my stage keyDown handler uses capture, and thus seems to catch the same event over and over.

View 1 RepliesActionscript 3 :: Send Events Between Objects On Same Level (Global Event Manager)?
Sep 8, 2011I came to the point where I need to communicate between 2 objects (let's say Tank and the Cannon). It is tile game, and when the Tank approach specific tile I need my Cannon to shot the Tank. When Tank gets that specific tile I want to dispatch some custom event and have listener in Cannon class body to make the shot happen. Other way I would have to check in ENTER_FRAME loop (inside Cannon body class) if the Tank touched tile that runs the Cannon shooting - but this is not elegant and efficient. The issue is complicated by the fact that the Cannon and Tank are added to the Engine (document class) and can't simply hear for each other, because they seat on the same level in display list.
Initially I could addEventListener to the Engine, but this way my document class would enlarge to the XXL size (all listeners functionality, all methods for game etc). What I would accomplish is to have event listener in every Cannon object (defined in body class) listening for Tank's dispatching the event. I saw some 'Centralized Event Manager' article in the net, but can't download full classes [url]...
