Is there a way to send a keypress to another windows application using actionscript 2 or AS3???
example: if i click on a button it will tell the other windows application to execute a shortcut key.
I need to send a keypress to the operating system programatically. Can a KeyboardEvent be activated programmatically? And if it can, does it send the keypress to the OS, or is it contained within the application?

I have a facebook canvas app (flash).
I have a user who is visiting the app.
I have a button that the user clicks for the purpose of inviting a friend to the app.I understand that this can be done via the js sdk: http[url].....However I am already using the facebook_as3_api, and I would prefer to avoid using multiple facebook api's. Does the facebook_as3_api have a way of doing this, and if not, why not?
I would like to send variables or parameters from Component to Main (MXML) Application. Like my component is FileUpload.mxml and would like to forward the uploaded file details from FileUpload.mxml to Main.mxml.
I tried the following procedure :
com:FileUpload id="fp"
to get the reference for the FileUpload component, however, I am unable to get the variables from the FileUpload.mxml file.
In Python there is a function: os.system(command) that runs the command passed by parameter in the command line, there is something similar in AS3 (or MXML) running an Adobe AIR Desktop Application?
View 1 RepliesI want to send a html webpage with my application in installation package,is it possible?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to access html files protected by basic authentication. Below is the code to do that but I still get the authentication dialog. I checked the fiddler and found that for the first request authorization header is present but for the subsequent requests which is requested to load the .js, css & images the authorization header is not added. This is the reason I am getting the auth dialog.
Is there a way to add authorization header to the subsequent requests as well?

I'm looking to send a list of variables (say 6 in total) from php to flash and for flash to pick a random one and send it back to php when clicking a button.
I would like it to appear in a dynamic text box. That randomly selected variable needs to be sent back to php on pressing a button.

I am actually discovering Classes.I try to make a class that reads out an XML file and than converts it into arrays.the array is well created in the class file, but I can't send it back to the swf correctly: it only duplicates the first item of the array in an infinite loop, but when I trace it into the class the output displays it right..
with this code I call the class:
Code:
var myProduct:Product = new Product("gallery.xml");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
trace(myProduct.getArray());

What I'd like it to do is find out what key was last pressed and then based on which key it was, go to a specific frame of guy_mc. So basically if the left key was the last key press I want it to go to frame "Left", if right key was the last, go to frame "Right," etc. I'm completely lost on this one and every tutorial I come across is based in AS2 which has much simpler methods than AS3.
Code:
//listen for guy_mc to see if all keys are up
guy_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, allKeys);
//if all keys are up...
[code]....
What I'm trying to do seems really simple but I can't get it. I'm trying to do something like this, but keyRelease doesn't exist I think.
on (keyRelease "<Right>") {
nextFrame();
}
I just want it to go to the next frame on the time line when the right key is RELEASED.
I've made a popup div that shows a video if you press a button. If you press Esc, the div is hidden again and the video is removed. (Using JWPlayer in Flash.)
If you click on the JWPlayer video, Flash gets the focus and JavaScript can't listen for keypresses on the document anymore. Is it possible to make JavaScript get the focus after you've interacted with the JWPlayer video player, so that you can still press the Esc button after for example pausing the video?
I was just wondering what the difference between these two is.
View 1 RepliesI'm working on the timeline and have movieclips on each frame. Each movieclip should play completely before moving to next frame. Once the movieclip is completed playing, I'd like to set up a keyboard event that allows for movie to go to next frame onKeyUp.This is the code I have but it's not working ... I'm getting jumbled results. I know this should be simple enough, but oh well.

I'm using Flash CS3 (AS2.0) at school on a mac, but when I open the file on CS4 on my pc I can't get my keypress to work.[code]I want my animation to happen when I push "t" on the keyboard.I have the whole alphabet to go through but I'm stuck since I can't even get this first one to work!Do I have to convert it to AS3 somehow since that's how it opens in CS4 (I think)?I'm new to Flash and need to figure this out for a course project!
View 1 RepliesI'm developing an application for use on a tablet PC where the user has the option to make multiple selections with a List Component. I need the ability to simulate the CTRL key being pressed since the keyboard will most likely not be available so the user can select and de-select items from the list. I will most be attaching the code to a button that will open the List component.
View 1 RepliesI had an old version of air which loaded an swf that runs an as2 swf using as3 The as2 swf included keypressing and regular as2 stuff. I just installed the new version of air and exported the AIR file again Keypresses don't seem to workhow to fix this?I thought about exporting to an older version of air but I have no idea how since the only option I have in CS5 is 2.0
View 1 RepliesI have a viewstack which implements a 'wizard' interface for doing new orders. On the last page of the wizard, there is a button, with a fake accelerator on it, by which, if they press 'o', they can start the process over again.
Below is my handler:
protected function _keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if((e.charCode == 111)) {
[Code]....
The problem is that when the user gets back to page 1 of the wizard, the 'o' the user just typed is now entered into a datagrid filtering textbox (filter by last names starting with 'o'), which is not what is desired.
As you can see, I've made some attempts at forbidding this interaction, but it appears to be not enough, even though the model.orderNew() bit contains all the code to swap the viewstack pages around, re-setting the focus to the txtSearchFilter, etc..
It appears that e.cancelable == false, which is probably why I'm getting this behavior..but the documentation says that KEY_DOWN IS cancelable, so..
How can I keep the keypress from propagating to the form ?
ive started a game in as3 and everything has been going smooth. got my character running around. have an array set up with all different types of variables inside for different things like floor, walls, doors, etc etc. theres only a couple things i want to clean up before adding npc's. im having a problem with my jump function. basically, i have my keypress' set up in booleans and its working A OK. But the problem is when u hold the jump key the function keeps running over and over. I tried the obvious by adding the function to an if statement to just the keypress and not the boolean but it makes the function only run partially and leaves the character floating in the air until you hold the key down long enough for the character to land again. so basically i need the function the run all the way through and stop and wait for another keypress so even if you hold the jump key, the character will only jump once.
i think i may have to create something other than a boolean. or maybe a class with a timer that is called on the keypress. am i even close?
I've tried using ASCII codes but = and - don't seem to respond to this. Is there any other way to check for a keypress on these keys?
Here is my code for the function just incase it proves useful:
ActionScript Code:
function selectNum() {
selecting = true;
num = random(12)+1;

So i know that the flash object needs to have focus in order for the key event to fire, but i am having an issue where i click a button in the flash window and the events stop firing.The button activates a box2d world and i don't know if that has anything to do with it. but as soon as i hit the start button, the key events no longer seem active until i click again.

View 2 RepliesI have recently made a piano in CS3 using AS2. The basic idea is that you can both click on a piano key and click on a key on your keyboard to hear the sound that particular key makes.Everything works just dandy apart from the fact that the sound doesn't seem to work at all.Below I have posted the action script (the comments are in Dutch) perhaps you'll need the FLA file as well.
Code:
stop();
//Maakt een sound object en verbind het met de piano movie clip op de stage
