ActionScript 3.0 :: Adding KeyListener To Stage Via Object 2 Depths Below
Mar 9, 2010
I want to add a key listener to my stage, but from an object 2 depths below the stage. How would I do this? I thought about adding the listener from my doc class, but the listener function is in the object that is two depths below the stage, which would mean I would have to pass the key values to the next movie clip, then when that one is loaded, pass it to the one with the listener function. It seems very complicated, is there an easier way which keeps with the principle of OOP?

I've been working on an as3 project for quite some time now, but I can't seem to get the following code working for some reason:
Code:
var test1:Object = new Object;
stage.addChild(test1);
I keep getting the same error:
Implicit coercion of a value with Static Type Object to a possibly unrelated type flash.display: DisplayObject

I`m having a silly problem with adding instance of an object to the stage two or more times. For example, this don`t work:
Code:
var temp0:SomeClass = new SomeClass();
this.addChild(temp0);
this.addChild(temp0);
Well, I know that one instance is one instance and two objects of the same class on the stage would be two instances, but still, it is what I need.

I got a little problem on a simple code: There are 5 Mcs on stage named Key1 to Key5. I got a listener on keyboard that put the mc alpha to 40 if you press the key of the mc (1 - 5), and turn the alpha to 100 if key isn't pressed
Code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(49))key1._alpha=40;
[Code]....
The problem is that it works perfectly if you press a key at time, but it don't work if you press the 5 keys simultaneously , (make strange things :'1' to '4' pressed works, but '3' to '5' make the 5th mc as un-pressed) Is there a fine way to test if the 3 simultaneous keys (char '3' to '5') are pressed ?

I have a stage bigger than the size of a browser, and I have a camera to navigate around the area.Now when I click on a button, I will have something pop up blocking the whole browser, like a lightbox effect with another box on top of the blocker.The problem now is, when the blocker pops up, its position is not on the TOP LEFT corner of the browser. I've tried stage.align, but it would makes the camera or other object on stage position run.So is there any other way I could get the blocker to position according to the browser, not the stage?[code]

I'm trying to create a boundary for a player object, controlled with arrow keys, in my game using the main stage's height and width. For example, one test point is at the top edge of the player object's bounding box so that when the player object's head touches the stage's top edge, the player can't move anymore to the north. The player object is manually instantiated to the center of the stage by using the Flash stage editor so it will start at the center before the program starts.The problem is that right at the start of the program, I can no longer move the player object up or down with the arrow keys but I can still move it left or right. The intention is to allow the player to move north until the player object's head touches the top edge of the main stage.[code]

The following is that long only because I gave examples of what I want to know, not because it is complex .I have three basic questions regarding AS 3.0 classes.
1. How can I make a class object interact with an object on stage?
For example, when I have a square (mc_Square) with class "square" attached to it and I want it to trace "Colliding!" and print the X and Y of the mc_Box on contact with an on-stage *hollow* box (mc_Box) that has no class attached to it.how to do it vice-versa would also be awesome .
2. How can I make a class object interact with the same class object? For example, when I have two squares (mc_Square) that both have the class "square" attached to it and when they collide, it prints the X and Y of both of them.
3. How can I make a class object interact with a different class object?
For example, when I have two squares mc_Square1 with class "square1 (that also has a variable Primary=true written in it)" and a mc_Square2 with class "square2"; When they collide, the one with Primary=true would be removed and it's X,Y position traced.

I'm making a simple RPG platformer where a character will pass over an object. When the action key is pressed and the character is over top the object, I would like a block of text to appear on the stage with a close button to cancel out.
I would like to know how a person would go about making a "pop-up" text box.

As you can see I am adding the Movies to my stage throught thier class name(apples etc). How come I can't link to it? Is it because I need to be using an instance name? And if so I would I assign one?

I have this library with more than 80 objects that i want to bind to my keyboard. My idea is use the "keyCode" to call the object to the stage, constructing the object's name inside a variable.This is the code that I'm trying to use, but the bold text line always give me an error (constructor, syntax and others) depending how i write that line.[code]I'm not very experienced with AS3 so i don't know if this is the right approach to solve my problem. Any help is well received.
