I've search around quite a bit but can't seem to find and answer to this seemingly simple question.
I have a project which listens for keystrokes in an onClipEvent. One of those keys is P. What I want is to simulate the pressing of the P button.
I'm making a screener keyboard, where the keys are buttons, The point is that I would like to simulate a key pressed for each button by a KeyboardEvent to write the charCode in a TextField, which I keep always in Focus.
[Code]...
Lets say I have two buttons called 'A' & 'B'. 'A' has some on (Release) actions assigned to it whereas 'B' doesn't. Is there a way so when B gets pressed the actions of A are exectued?
View 2 RepliesI was wondering if Flash 8 is able to simulate a button being pressed on the keyboard. I know it is able to detect if a button is being pressed by the user, but this is slightly different.

It is possible to Simulate a Tab Key when another key is pressed? I'm looking to do exactly the same, but with the DOWN & ENTER Key.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have a function on root:
_root.fadeBox_mc.onEnterFrame = function (){
if (fade){
this.nextFrame();[code]....
This causes a mc to fade in and out on rollover/rollout. But what I wanna make is a box that fades in when pressed on the button and fade out when pressed for the second time. But if I say
on (press){
_root.fade = true;
}
the mc fades in, but I cant do another on (press) to fade out. Is this too confusing?
I am struggling a bit with keys on the keyboards controlling a movieclip to happen.Ive got a person moving when pressing right and left, and a movieclip with three frames: First frame is a movieclip with the person standing still, looking bored. The second frame is the person moving right, and the third frame is the person moving left.This is the code that Ive inserted into the persons actions on scene1:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {_x += speed;this.gotoAndStop(2);_xscale = +scale;}
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {_x -= speed;this.gotoAndStop(3);_xscale = -scale;}
this code works alright accept that when the keys are not pressed it doesnt stand still, the legs are still moving, so I tried to include this code aswell:
if (!Key.isDown(KEY.RIGHT)) [code]....this makes the person standing still when not pressed but not moving the legs when turning right and left.
I would like to know what my visitors will see when they visit my site without flash installed. Obviously I could uninstall flash to find this out, but I was just wondering whether there's some gimmicky add-on out there that can simulate 'no Flash'. Would be handy...

View 3 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 2 RepliesI've done two Flash animations, and both, when I use the Simulate Download function, show what appears to be a digital artifact in the upper left hand corner. It looks like a series of small squares or rectangles briefly fluttering from left to right.As far as I can tell, this doesn't show up in the actual .swf. Has anyone else seen this? Is it a sign that I've done something wrong, or should I just ignore it?
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to create a new class of vehicle and simulate a somewhat realistic acceleration/velocity relationship and behavior but with no success.
At least, I can't figure out how to do what I want to do.
Which is this:I have a vehicle with a maxVelocity and an initialAcceleration properties, and what I want to find out is how to express the vehicle's acceleration with the two above mentioned variables so that the vehicle stops accelerating when it reaches its maxVelocity (meaning that acceleration reaches 0).
I believe there are some serious maths going on behind this seemingly simple thing, at least too serious for me, and I tried to remember what I learned years ago about arithmetic progressions and stuff like that but to no result other than a headache.
Does someone know how to do it, if it's actually possible. And if not, how you guys do to simulate an acceleration that looks like a car's gear.
I'm using Flash CS5 with AS2. However, there's this project I'm working on right now. When I simulate a download, the preloader is somehow skipped. I'm staring at a blank screen for a minute instead of a preloader and then the main menu pops up. You just see the preloader for one single frame.
Now the code for my preloader is really the standard code:
Actionscript Code:
stop();onEnterFrame = function(){
p = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal();
percent_txt.text = String(Math.round(100*p)) + " %";
if(p == 1){ nextFrame();
delete onEnterFrame;
}}
I have some code on frames 2 and 3, but I tried to see what would happen if I left it out, and the same thing occurs regardless of there being code on frames 2 and 3. All I can really tell you that may mean something is the file size is 2.9 MB. Why Flash Player doesn't just display the preloader, especially since I've never encountered this before.
With several flashes I'm trying to create, I find that I need to know how to depict a line being drawn or a plant/vine growing (same concept right). Obviously frame-by-frame animation can be used, but that's quite tedious. There must be some other, more productive way to pull it off. Example of the vine: [URL] I've tried shape tweens with shape hints but it didn't render very well at all.
View 6 RepliesI want to check to make sure my preloader is working right, so I'm trying to use the Simulate Download function. At any speed, when I start the simulation, it just sits there, and does nothing. No images, no backgound, nothing. Running the program normally does not produce any problems, it's just when I do the simulation.Now, I think it may just be that I have a gigantic file, but I let it sit there for several minutes, and not a single thing happened -- heck, I have the preloader on frame 2, and a trace on frame 1 that just says "test" to see if it's even getting THAT far, and its not.
View 6 RepliesI'm creating a virtual keyboard for a touchscreen Flex app and i'm trying to simulate a key press by dispatching a KeyboardEvent. I've written a handler function to listen for the event and act accordingly. So far so good but it's starting to get complicated as i have to manage the focused textInputs (easy), the cursor position in those fields (not to so easy), etc.Now, if only there was a way to actually dispatch a KeyboardEvent that Flex would actually interpret as a genuine key press all those issues would be gone.
View 2 RepliesI've searched this and cannot find it. I've tried different plugins and different browsers (Firefox, Opera, and Chrome). I've tried most of the no flash plugins for each of those as well as disabling Flash plugins/addons in the settings. I also renamed the .so file in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/ i found by searching the system. when i renamed it, makes Firefox and Chrome ask to install Flash, but still:alert(navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash'].type);returns:application/x-shockwave-flash'm not sure what else to try without uninstalling Flash, but that will be a total pain in the ass for this. I also REALLY don't want to use SWFObject just to see if Flash is at all installed which I can do simply with:
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a flex mobile project now. I've created a StageWebView and call function loadString()[URL]..
It's a simple sample that if you click on the bookmark and you can get access to it.
But I want to put the content in the tag into a spark list. And get the same result when I click the list which needs some kind of simulation of a click in a webView.
Is there any way to simulate a click event in AS3? I'm trying this:
element.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, true, false));
But click event isn't trigger it.
I was wondering if is there is possible to detect the pressure (how hard the mouse button is pressed and kept hold) on mouse? If not, can we simulate it by some technique/method?

I have a quick question... is there a way to simulate a flashvar while testing an application in the Flash IDE? I know I can export it and test it on a web browser with a container passing the flashvar, but it's so much easier to just do CTRL+Enter :P
Specifically, what I'm doing here is the following: My movie has a lot of things hardcoded... I want it to load the hardcoded parts only if there's a flashvar called "debug" and set to "true". As you may have guessed, I DO NOT want that flashvar to be known to my providers, but I do want to set it on the IDE so everytime I test the code, it enters my debug mode (and so I don't have to change even a bit of code to publish it later)This would be my code:

I am currently making a website on my Mac with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4. I had an idea to make an iPhone and press a button next to it so that it would change the application page/home screen page displayed on the iPhone. I have NO idea how to go about doing this. I was told this can be done in Flash using Actionscript 3.0 but I do not know anything about AS3.

I want to write a flash to simulate people dancing, but I think if I make all the animation by hand, it will be a huge work. So I am thinking if there is a library(or other things people has done previously) that I can make use of.
I can build the character, the foot, the arm and head etc. What I want is an algorithm to apply to the whole body to make it animate like a human, at least more smooth than a robot
