I 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.

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.

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'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 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?
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 TextArea with undo/redo which is performed via ctrl+z, ctrl+y. My app is a mobile app with no cntrl on the soft keyboard so I want to make an undo and a redo button which simulates the keypresses. How do you simulate keys in Flex?
View 1 RepliesIn order to make something work correctly, I need to simulate the user clicking on an image which doubles as a button and calls yet another function. I've tried simply calling the function, but it didn't work... for some reason, it only seems to work when the user clicks the button. Is it possible to 1) simulate clicks and 2) make the application think that the user clicks on a specific image?
Full story - My application (a scheduling application) allows the user to replace one student with another. In order to do this, the user can bring up a list of available students. Once the list is presented, and the user selects a new students name, that new name is supposed to replace the old name. Instead, the text box simply goes blank. Now, if I click a image (which acts like a button) that increases the length of a that scheduled activity by one day, the name appears for whatever reason. I've tried simply calling the function that increases the number of days, but it doesn't work. For some reason, it would appear that only the user clicking the image (button) seems to make the new user name show up in the text box. This is why I would like to simulate the user clicking the "increase by 1 day" image.
I'm making a screensaver which includes a game, when the .swf file is converted to screensaver format the only way to exit is to press Escape.
I was wondering if there is any way to simulate a keypress (Escape) when the user clicks a button so that I can also have Exit buttons?
So basically when I used to run my code using Flash cs3 there was a button under view that had simulate download would click it and it would simulate download. Now am using flash builder and had to install some kind of flash debugger player or smth like that and can't find that button now...
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a set of 4 vertically arranged buttons that 'split' apart when those buttons are pressed. For example, if you click the topmost (1st) button, the bottom three buttons will drop down so submenus (for the 1st button) can now be revealed beneath. Again, when you click the 2nd button from the top, the bottom two buttons drop down, revealing submenus, and so on.
Now, is there a way that I can use actionscripting to tween the buttons to not only motion tween a drop down when a button is first pressed, but also to motion tween the button to return up to its original spot when another button is then pressed? Right now, I have two keyframes, side-by-side which each containing a different y-scale value for an object. Can I do some actionscripting to get the object to motion tween upward to its original spot instead of "clicking," or snapping back to is original spot when another button is pressed?
I want the press button to detect the last button pressed and if the shapes match, make them do something...obviously. I think I'm going at it the wrong way. I need to stick a "triange" id into the button/mc then if compares that and then if there is a match works then... right?

I have a series of buttons inside an array. I am trying to get the buttons so that once they are pressed, they remain in the over state. Which is a darker color than the up state. So that people know which button they have pressed. Is there an easy way to do this for buttons?

I have 2buttons. Each have 3stages: up, over, down.I want to have 1st button to stay on its 'down state' when pressed and then you should see 2nd button 'up' stage(down stage of 1st button is the same as up stage in 2nd button).If someone hovered again you see 'over' stage of 2nd button,when will click, button move to 'up' stage of 1st button.

I've added action script to stop the animation on the last frame, I just have no idea what action script to put in to start it when the button is pressed.

i have a movieclip with some buttons with blur, when you rollover on them they become normal, when you rollout they return blur.
what i would like to do is that when you press on of them it becams normal and remain in that state untill you press on onother button.
Is there a way to do this? maybe something that prevent onRollOut when you pressed the button?
My code:
Code:
import gs.*;
this.buttonMode = true;
TweenMax.to(this, 0.5, {blurFilter:{blurX:5, blurY:5}});

i have designed button which will change position after press on it i have used the script :button1.onPress=function(){button1._y=-300;action1._y=110;}that is working but the problem is whenever i give a link to it like go to another frame or go for some url. it work but after comming back to its previous stage it shows no difference that means i need a button which will indicate that it have been pressed.
View 1 RepliesBasically what i have is three buttons which can be pressed in a maximum of 7 different combinations. Each of these buttons has a movieclip underneath that advances to the next frame when the button is pressed. Each clip has two frames with actions, frame 1 has:
stop();
var option1:Boolean = false;
and then frame 2 has:
stop();
var option1:Boolean = true;
So when you press a button you have true, and false when the button is pushed again.
i already have a constant loop between frames 2 and 4. At frame 4 i think i need to have some code that detects which state the 3 boolean statements are in and then load a movie depending on which statements are true and which are false.
I need to be pushed a button after I selected it. In other words, I want the button remains down.
View 4 Repliesim currently making a game, and the game has some powerups, that when picked are stored. the problem is that, if i have, say, 3 shields, e press the matching button and the 3 shields are used instead of one. i found out its because i was checking the button pressing every frame, so i created a flag that checks if a button is corrently being pressed. here's the code

View 1 RepliesI noticed this before. Sometimes in some browsers with flash camera dialog you won't be able to press ALLOW button to access camera, microphone. The issue is already exposed over here Can't click allow button in flash on firefox and Adobe is tracking issue about this bug [URL]
The purposed solution sometimes works but also not always. The other workaround I wound on web is to set the margin-left and margin-right CSS in flash container like this:
margin-left: 0.5px;
margin-right: auto;
Well now the OS X Lion came out and the damn thing doesn't work in any browser! I even tried the Facebook profile photo taker which also uses flash for taking photos. Also there you cant press ALLOW button. Same with YouTube video recorder etc...

Even though I pressed only one button. The main menu button. PS: The faces are Colon and a P.
I have a menu with 6 buttons. I have set up a variable called button pressed that tracks which button was pressed through numbers (if button 1 pressed, value of buttonPressed becomes 1 etc..) I want to test for which button was pressed as little as possible. If I say onClipEvent(mouseDown) it tells me that this can only be used for movie clips. How can i run a simple test to see which button was pressed?
View 14 RepliesSo I have 13 buttons and each of these load the same movieclip. Now how do I make an if statement so that depending on what button is pressed it goes to a specific frame in this loaded movieclip?
