I want to assign a value to a variable ONCE on the correct key strike. THe problem is, I can hit the key three times and get the desired value of 3 that is to trigger another function. I only want each key to be a value of 1 in my switch/case. My brain is mush on this one.

assign a number value to an mc. So I'm done my early work on it and am ready to try and integrate this function. I'm making a small change game. So game is split into five scenes, each scene the person will receive a receipt. The person will have change in their hand (all canadian denominations). They have to look at the receipt and the change in their hand (both mcs), and figure out if its correct. If not they drag change from another pile and place it in the hand. So here's what I'm looking at trying to accomplish. I'd like to have a check change button (simple mc). I'm guessing that each coin needs a numeric value associated with it (no clue on if or how you could do this). If the numbers add up to the predetermined bill value (so I'm guessing I'd give that a numeric value as well), i hit the check button and it'll see if the change in the hand adds up to match what the bill should. So here's where my code sits currently, still tweaking as we speak. I'm still new so be gentle on my code I know its long.

I've got a presentation that continually reads an XML and displays content based on that. It works fine for 2-3 hours then just stops. No errors, just stops.
What I'm doing is adding and removing eventListeners throughout the process using two alternative loader objects.
For example:
PHP Code:
slideLoader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadJPG, false, 0, true );
I started using the "weak" listener based on what I've been reading about garbage collection, but actually this works better:
PHP Code:
slideLoader1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadJPG);
The presentation runs much longer with the second listener type. In both cases I'm removing it this way:
PHP Code:
slideLoader1.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadJPG);
Is there a problem constantly adding/removing eventListeners this way?
I have a problem that should have a simple solution but I cant seem to figure it out. Basically I need to assign a movieclip a number value to that it will carry with it so I can later compare it to the number value of another movieclip.
Here is the snippet of my class code. I got a loop that creates a new object and adds it to the stage and then positions it. It all works accept for when I try to assign the i value to _dragHead.HIT (HIT is not a movieclip nested within the _dragHead object by the way). I just want each newly added movieclip to carry a unique number value so how would I achieve this?
ActionScript Code:
private function createTerms():void
{
for (var i:Number = 0; i < termsArr.length; i++)

Im tring to create a slot machine game...I have a mask.and I have 3 layers each of which has a motion tween of 120 frames.they animate my 3 slots..the problem is how and where I can assign a random number so that the motion tween should stop at any image.?

I 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?
I have a simple movie with the following code. The idea is to move from one frame to the next or back using the arrow keys on the keyboard [code]...
View 6 RepliesMy 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.
I'm trying to make a simple virtual keyboard. So if I click the btnA, the A keydown will be inputted.
View 1 RepliesI 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.
All 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).
I am looking for a way to trigger the downState of my SimpleButton using my KEY_DOWN event. I am hoping there is a way to do this without having to switch this to a MovieClip custom button.

I'm using a component in a cairngorm PopupWrapper. I want to listen to the KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWn event on the component but it doesn't seem to be dispatching it. Is it because it's in PopupWrapper? Is there anyway I can get it to dispatch the event?[code]

I 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?
I could put a hidden button on my movie. I found this code over the internet but it seems not to work.

I have a data grid in one frame, then upon moving to the next frame use removeChild to get rid of it, which works fine.But it seems to leave behind the keyDown handler that is naturally part of the component (which is used to navigate the rows of the datagrid).Is there any way to get rid of this?The first time (and only the first time) I press the up or down arrow key in the next frame which does not have the grid, I get the following error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I 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 4 RepliesInside my code i have some variables declared as Numbers, and i get some others from an external source; these variables can either be Numbers or String representation of Numbers. Now, i have to implement some equality controls on these variables, and since i don't know in that moment which type are them of, i'm converting all of them to Numbers (i don't need and neither want to compare strings) via the Number() function which accepts either Numbers or Strings as an input. These controls can compare 2 single variables or a variable and a sum (or subtraction) of other variables, for example:
