I have several input text boxes all of which are activated by the use of the enter key. I only want the one the user is using to run its script when they press enter instead of the keylistener on all of them picking up when enter is pressed. I have tried
ActionScript Code:
listenForEnterObject = new Object();
listenForEnterObject.onKeyDown=function(){
[code]....
I was just wondering what the difference between these two is.
View 1 RepliesI'm following a simple tutorial on making a platformer, but I ran into a problem. This is the code I'm using in a player movie clip:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
if(this.character.hitTest(_root.bg.ground)==false) {
this._y+=_root.gravity;
[Code]....
When I press the keys, nothing happens, but if I replace the if statement with a 1 then the code executes fine.
In the actions of a movie clip,I want to use something like:
PHP Code:
if(Key.isDown(W)){
//do stuff
}
But,it does not take anything else than LEFT,RIGHT and some others.I even tried ASCII:
PHP Code:
if(Key.isDown(100))
{}
It doesn't work.Then how do we use keys like W,A,S,D?
I want to have it to that when i press up on my keyboard, my ball will jump up, and if i keep holding it down, it will not jump again until up is released and re-pressed.How my code looks right now
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.UP))
{
speedy = -30;
}
my ball's instance name is fivepointstar.
I'm trying to add arrow key control to my image gallery to increment and decrement the image number, but if I go to another section and go back to the gallery, the incrementing is doubled, so that I step through the images by two's. If I repeat this, it always adds 1. Here's the code I have for the Arrow keys:
[Code]...
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT) && Math.abs(this["speed"+who])>0.3) {
_root["car"+who]._rotation -= _root.rotationStep2*(this["speed"+who]/_root.maxSpeed);
}
[code].....
so iv been using the Key.IsDown commands to change the yscale (of something), but i am at a loss at getting the yscale (of that something) back to the starting scale when the key is released.
View 3 RepliesI have a character with multiple animations by way of movieclips, and I'm trying to have it move using the Key.isDown function. Now, my character is moving correctly, but when the key is released, the animation keeps playing. I tried adding a stop command at the end of the walkcycle animation, but that just causes the character to stay frozen on the last frame of the cycle.
Here is the ActionScript Code:
onClipEvent(load) {
var direction = "left";
var speed = 2;
} onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

I have a logic-sorta question about finding an alternative to an if/else statement that controls key.isDown detection.(NOTE: I am using senocular's KeyObject class, the utility found on his website senocular.com, that returns key.IsDown functionality to AS3)
typically in most game/character movement tutorials I see this:
Code: Select allif (key.isDown(Keyboard.RIGHT))
moveRight();
else if (key.isDown(Keyboard.LEFT))
[code]....
The problem im having with this code is the fact that theres an order it checks the keys due to the if/else statement.For example, if I was holding down the LEFT key and then simultaniously began holding down the RIGHT key, the RIGHT key's function would execute and override whatever the LEFT key's function was doing, since the RIGHT key is the first thing checked in the if/else statment.
The only work-around i can think of is making all the keys a single If statement, and a switch statement that controlls the movement. Which im having a lot of trouble getting to work at the moment...
I'm working on a game where movement is controlled with WASD, and other commands are controlled with YUIOHJKLNM<>. The problem I'm encountering occurs when pressing down certain combinations of three keys. For example, when I'm holding down J and M, the ASD keys won't work; only W will. The same applies to J and N, and K and <; W is the only key of the movement commands that will work.
There is nothing in my programming that I can see or find that is causing this error; I've performed several tests and managed to pretty much isolate the problem being something to do with the keycodes. Does actionscript 2.0 have some inherent issues with certain 3-key combinations being pressed?
How do I make it so that a key down function acts as a hard on/off switch, Instead of the momentary temporary toggle normally associated with "if Key.isdown"
Example: The "CONTROL" key is pressed, gotoAndPlay's an action, until the key is pressed again, which then gotoAndStop'S the action. Would I still use "if Key.isDown" or something else entirely.
How do i get a letter to work inside of a key.isDown action?
View 6 RepliesI'm working on a pretty neat interactive music remixing site where you remix a song, then interact with a music video to make some cool stuff happen. I saw a few related posts on here, but I've got a bit of a more specific problem. originally I had the controls set so that whenever you click the mouse on the background (which I set as one giant blank button), that it would load a movie clip and unload the previous one:
[Code]....
This has been working fine, although now I'm trying to change the overall controls to assign every key on the keyboard to load a particular movie clip at the mouse x,y when pressed AND to unload the movie clip when it is pressed again. I think I might be applying the code to the wrong portion (in a blank frame in the timeline, not as part of any button or movie clip). I had the code setup so that I wasn't getting any errors, but nothing is happening when pressing the key. I also don't have a start on how to tell if a key has already been pressed, to perform a second action when pressed again (to unload the assigned movie clip). Here's what I've got so far:
[Code]...
Ok here is the problem... I have this code:
[AS]
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
[code]......
I ve used next script:
onClipEvent (load) {
if((_root. mc1._visible=true) and (_root.mc2=true)) {
_root.mc3._visible=true;
}else{
_root.mc3._visible=false;
}}
To achieve next: mc3 is visible only when mc1 and mc2 are visible else its hidden, but this dont work, with this script on load all clips are visible on stage mc1, mc2, mc3, inspite there is a script which is hiding mc1, and mc2...(they should appear on stage on mouse event and this was ok before a inserted script from beginning of post, now they are always visible). How should I write this to make mc3 visible only when mc1 and mc2 are both visible on stage.

whats the format for having 2 conditions???[code]
View 4 RepliesI'm having some difficulties using conditions with XML and AS3.
Having something like this in my XML:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schedule>
<class>
<name day="monday">AAA</name>
[Code]...
Is there a way to have more conditions in an "if" statement? For example I have 3 conditions:
condition 1: a=5
condition 2: b=3
condition 3: c=12
So, if a=5, b=3 and c=12, I want to trace("success") for example. But it's necessary that all 3 conditions are executed. How can I do that?
I've got two functions that work separately, but don't like to work together. Specifically, function "onEnterFrame" stops working after function "connectT."

I used a tutorial to attempt to set up my code so that after a button is released and an external .swf is loaded the same button can't be activated again (on release or on rollover) until a different button is released.
Here is an example of my actionscript. What I'm trying to do here is just have the button not replay the mc in the over state if it's movie clip is already loaded in[code]...
I've got a function which is constantly running to see if a set of movie clips (ball0_mc, ball1_mc etc.) have been placed in a target zone. Once the ballPlaced[#] value is true for a partiuclar moive clip, the movie clip starts acting in different ways depending on which other balls have been placed in a target zone (i.e. their ballPlaced[#] value is also true).
The 'if' and 'else if' conditional statements are contained within the playVideo() function which is constantly running through the ENTER_FRAME event. [code]...
Depending on the time of day (user machine time) and the amount of money raised the header needs to show different scenes and building construction progress.1. Is there some example script out there that would conditionally call on 1 of 4 times of the day (morning, noon, late afternoon or overnight) for me?2. And the % of the funds raised (variable data passed from the site?) will reveal that equivalent portion of the building constructed. So if 25% of the funds are in then 1/4 of the building will be shown completed. Is there an example script that would receive that data from an external source and then call 1 of 4 pre-built building movie clips?
View 0 RepliesI have some code that needs to read like the following:IF the original position(origX) DOES NOT EQUAL where my object is(this._x) AND delay variable(delay) is set to 0, then I need to display a movieclip. There is an X on the movieclip so users can close it, and when they click the X, the delay variable is set back to 1, so the movieclip won't keep loading.
ActionScript Code:
var delay = 1;
if (origX == this._x && delay == 1)

So the way I see it, there are three conditions in a drag/drop assessment situation; The dragged object is on the correct drop targetThe dragged object is on an incorrect drop targetThe dragged object is not on any targetAssuming there are multiple drag and drop targets, I can do this, but it only satisfies the first two condition:
ActionScript Code:
function stage_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stage_onMouseUp);

I'm having a strange problem w/ race conditions when using attachmovie. I have a class linked to a movie clip that I'm attaching to the stage. The class is fired off when the movie clip is attached but also other classes are getting loaded at the same time while the movie clips is attached. Even though the other classes are called after the movieclip is attached, they are getting loaded faster and therefor the class linked to the attached movie clip cannot access their functions. I'm looking for a listener that will fire off an event ONLY when the attached movieclip is fully loaded but I can't seem to find any examples of associating a listener to a attachmovie method.
View 1 RepliesI want to set multiple conditions for an if statement, but I don't want the conditions to all have to be true, I want to say if (a or b or c or d, etc. is true) then do this. I don't want to say if (a && b && c && d, etc. is true). Is it possible to have an if statement with an "or" in the condition? If so, what's the proper syntax for that?

I have made a scrolling gallery with an area described by a variable called 'thumbVar' which excludes the area above and below the scrolling thumbnails from activating the scroll left or right (excluding the area above and below the thumbnails).
Could someone have a look and at the code and see why the 'thumbVar=true' does not work? Is it because I cannot us two parameters within the variable? The strange thing is that the swf does behave properly when first loaded until the cursor moves out of the thumbnail mc. i.e. at first it works, then stops when moving off the thumbnail mc.
if(_root._ymouse<210 && _root._ymouse>330){
thumbVar=false;
}
