While a user is in a frame, I have the user press F1 to gotoAndPlay another frame, press F3 to gotoAndPlay another frame, etc. But when the user presses the F1 or F3 function key, they get the IE browser search screen or IE keyboard shortcut. How do I use AS3 to have the action taken when the user presses F1 perform the function within my flash file and not the IE process for the function key?
View 0 RepliesI'm building a simple app where an image displayed changes based on which image is selected in the combobox. Pick a different image in the combobox, the old one transitions out, the new one transitions in. Easy, right? So while the transition is taking place, even though I disable the combobox (.enabled = false, and I remove the Event.CHANGE listener for the combobox, I can still scroll through the combobox's options with the up/down arrow keys. I'd like to lock that ability out temporarily

View 3 Replieshow to use the arrows keys in a flash movie to move the timeline. None of them help, or work (or at least I can't get them to work as advertised). Some of the solutions seem way to complicated for such a simple problem. I don't want to use AS3. What I need to do is to have the ability to move from frame 1 to frame to or from scene 1 to scene 2 in my flash movie. This is the code I have in frame 1 (there is no other code in the swf) -
stop();
myListener = new Object ();
myListener.onKeyDown = function (){
trace ("you pressed a key");

This code "works", by that I mean I can go from frame 1,2,3,4,5 just fine and back from frame 5,4,3,2,1 just fine. The problem is once I am back at frame 1 and want to go back to frame 2, I get to frame 3, going forward goes to frame 5 and going back ends in frame 1.

View 1 RepliesI'm learning Flash and Actionscript and playing around with some different features. I have an MC of a car and have coded them arrow keys to move it left and right and the up and down keys to adjust the speed. It also flips the MC horizontally based on which direction is pressed. There is a startover button that goes to the beginning of the timeline, and a back and next button.
Everything works except I have to click on the stage to get it to recognize the key presses. Once I click the stage it works fine. If I go forward and come back it won't work until I click the stage again. I THINK it was working correctly last night, but I was playing around with some of the images and code this morning and realized it wasn't working right anymore...or maybe I just didn't realize I was clicking the stage last night.
Here's my script:
Code:
stop();
btnStartOver.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StartOver97);
function StartOver97(event:MouseEvent):void {

I have a file set up with a movie clip moving from side to side by itself and when it reaches the end of the stage it goes back in the opposite direction.[code]I know want to control the movie clips movement with arrow keys, just left and right so that it would stop when it reaches the edge and will only let me move it the opposite direction.I guess I'm just trying to set up a sort of template.
View 9 Repliesso first off, this is AS 2.0. Second, i have a little character from a tutorial on how to move an object around with the arrow keys. The character faces on way on "up" another on "down" and so forth. There are 4 frames for it facing up, down, left, and right so that on the key presses it faces the proper direction and moves accordingly. I also want this little guy to move behind objects. When this happens, i want the object that the little guy is behind to be partially transparent so that you can still see him and he doesnt just vanish.

In Fash CS3, suddenly, in certain files, I can't move an object left using arrow keys - but I can move the same object right, or if I hold down Shift + left arrow, it works correctly Also - I can move the object down with arrow keys, but not up Workaround - move an object on a different layer, then return to the problem object and it moves correctly. But this doesn't last long, the problem resurfaces.(I've tried rebooting; tried copying all the layers into a new file.

The clip has an instance name of red_mc. It doesn't work though? Also, if I want to have a yellow instance to work off "j" and "k" keys, do I just copy and paste the code above?
I'm completly lost, I'm rather new to flash, and I'm trying to get a symbol to move when I press a key. The following is what my code looks like:
onClipEvent (load) {
speed = 5;
} onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (key.isdown(37)) {
_x -= speed;
} if (key.isdown(39)) {
_x += speed;
} if (key.isdown(40)) {
_y += speed;
} if (key.isdown(38)) {
_y -= speed;
}}
My character's name is character. When left and right are pressed it tells me what's being pressed when I run it - it says there's no errors with the code. My character doesn't do anything though! [code]...

View 7 Repliesi'm attempting to make a platform game, i know how to move left and right with the arrow keys, but that's quite boring. i want to move my character based only on the x movement of my mouse. the more i move my mouse in a certain direction, the faster the character moves in that direction. i've been trying to modify the x-speed on my character based on a x value of the mouse, but nothing is working.
preferably, i want a code that keeps my cursor at the center of the screen, while still being able to detect x movements of the mouse. i'd copy paste code from my program, but i'm fairly confident that doing so will serve no purpose. i need a new direction. i have no idea how to do this.
i'm making a small "add news" movie for a site in actionscript. When I insert an image in my textField, I can only move the cursor with my keys and not with my mouse anymore. I put the image always in front. I also have to click one time in my textfield, otherwise my text appears under my image. When I click it aligns to the right.

I have been having some trouble with a movie clip basically designed to act as a button for a store front for a website.This movie clip has, stored as the front of the movie (i.e. before you click in to edit the movie) the following code:
on(rollOver){
gotoAndPlay("Over");
}[code]..........
This gives the movie the hover over and out effect and animates the button so as once pressed the button expands to give a 'Product Details' view.However, when clicked the info shows up as it should but the hit area which I put into the Movie Clip is still on the info area so none of the contents on this new window are accessible and when the cursor leaves the designated info area the movie clip returns to its first stage as it would appear at the start of the animation.Is there any simple way to disable the HitArea on specific frames within a Movie Clip?
I'm doing a basic site with frame labels on the main timeline whose name corresponds to the btn names. A simple otoAndPlay(evt.target.name); I have a basic navigation setup of 7 mcs with mouse eventlisteners for CLICK, ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT.
Example:
prepare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);plans.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);retire.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
[Code]....
Does anyone know a better way to do this so when my mcs are clicked they display the rollover content/art? In essence I'm trying to achieve that when the user clicks a btn it goes to that "page" and the corresponding btn stays highlighted. Pretty standard web navigation technique but I just don't know what the best way to do this in flash is and with how my site is setup.
I'm building a menu for a website that plays a sound each time you mouse over one of the buttons. (each button is a piano key) I've written two functions that change the size of each key on ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT events. What I want is someway to play a unique sound in my library for each key, without writing a separate function for each key. Either a new function, or just written into my existing ROLL_OVER function. Currently, it plays the same sound for every key.
Here is a zip of my project

What I've got in there is a fla file called menu.fla In that file there is a movieclip on stage called "keyboardmenu" and inside that movieclip are 8 movieclip's (my buttons) each with a unique instance name.
