ActionScript 3.0 :: Flash Losing Key Press Detecting When Button Is Clicked?
Oct 12, 2010
i'm building an projector application in AS3, as a slide show.When the right and left keys are pressed on the keyboard, the slides change.the code to change the slide:
Code:
function setup() {
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, displayKey);
}
setup();
[code]....
Some slides have button on it, that change the slide, jumping to a chapter the user whant to see.the problem i'm having is that when the button at a slide is clicked, the key press detection does not work anymore. To make it work, I have to click somewhere on the stage.

Okay, in as3 when you click, the object on the highest layer will be clicked on. I want someone to press the space bar and have the objects on the screen to check to see if it is touching a point.So I first tried hittest...
if (this.hitTest(myPoint)){
play();
}
Now the problem was objects behind other ones were thinking they were being "clicked" on.

I want to have a button with a rollover state that is different that the out state. I got that part, but I also want to keep the rollover state active if clicked. I can think of a couple ways to do it but I'm certain there is an easier way to do it. I have about 8 buttons and when I click on on I want that to stay in the rollover state, then when I click on another one I want the first to go back to the out state and the new one that I clicked to go to the over state and stay there.

I have an FLV player that I have programmed in AS3. The player goes into fullscreen when you press a button. I have an event listener on the button that changes the stage mode to FULL SCREEN. This act in turn is detected with an event listener on the stage that detects an event.RESIZE. This all works fine. When you click the button in normal mode I go to full screen mode and vice versa. More importantly the button changes (i.e. I line another button in the place of the previous button using coordinates) in full screen and move it off screen in normal screen so I have a "go full screen" icon button in normal mode and a "back to normal mode" icon on full screen.
MY PROBLEM is... Using the button to go into full screen mode changes the button to the 'close full screen' icon as expected. If I use the close full screen button in full screen mode it changes back. All perfect. My problem however is if I exit the full screen mode using the escape key the button does not change back so I am guessing the event handler is not triggered. Is there a way to detect the event of exiting full screen mode using the escape key rather than a button? The event.RESIZE on the stage does not seem to do it.

I have managed to assign them unique names then tracing it out. However when I click to see which it is the name is being overridden to the newly spawned one?
ActionScript Code:
public function mouseHover(e:Event) {
iceZombieContainer.getChildByName(iceZombie.name);
trace(iceZombie.name);

I've got about 6 buttons laid out, one on top of the other in a list format. In their normal state the buttons are grey in colour, when I rollover them, the buttons flash and turn to orange. Now, what I need to happen is this: I want the buttons to stay orange once clicked and only roll out back to grey when the user has clicked on another button in the list. I've been told that the best way to do this is via adding a listener, however I am a little unsure as to how to go about this. I've checked the flash help file and have a basic understanding of how listeners work...but can't really wrap my head around applying it to this situation. Perhaps I will need to have all the buttons as separate broadcasters?

How do you record / save a button press in Flash as3 and send it to moodle via scorm? I have two buttons, 'choice1' & 'choice2', and would like the users' choice to be recorded to SCORM. I just need to send 'some text' to moodle when the user presses either button.
Have been pointed to 'cmi.interactions' but after spending the entire day trying to find a working example, I'm completely lost. There appear to be no coded examples anywhere.

I have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I'm trying to build a flash keypad that fills in input text boxes when you press a button.I have two input text fields. I can assign each button a number and tell it to display that number in the text field when pressed. for example:
Code:
but1.onPress=function(){
InputText1.text += 1
}
[code]....
I can't seem to get the buttons to fill in the second text field.

I used the tutorial here: [URL] to achieve the above, which I did. Then I tried putting AS on the buttons I made to import external clips and they stopped working completely. I've tried putting the AS on the main time line as well as on the btn itself, I've even tried recoding the script from the tutorial. I've attached the file which should work to me. if the btn code is deleted from the main timeline the menu acts as it should but doesn't link any where.

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'm loading in 5 jpegs from an external file using "loadMovie" and i have 5 corresponding buttons (1-5) to load them with.
I want to change the jpeg the button loads in depending whether a separate navigation button has been pressed -
i.e.
navigation buttons:
-motorbike pics
-car pics
-lorry pics
If a user clicked on "car pics" then the loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "car1.jpg", "car2.jpg" and so on...
similarly if the user clicked on "lorry pics", the same loading buttons 1 to 5 would load "lorry1.jpg" and "lorry2.jpg"

i have a set of buttons cranked out from and XML file. how can i emulate, in code, a press on one of those buttons? i'd like to 'press' one of them for an initial state so that the list it controls will load first off instead of waiting for the person to click it manually and THEN show the list it's connected to. thing is, the first loaded list is going to be random, so i need to 'press' what on another day/load would be a button that the user would press themselves.
in other words, i have 3 buttons. on random, i have to 'press', say button 2, to start. users can press 1 or 3 and then 2 again if they like. another time, it's button 1 that gets 'pressed' on load, etc. make sense? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be easy... or stupidly convoluted.

I want to play a movie clip when I click a button.I made 3 states: inicial (how it looks before anything happens) (up)hover (plays an animation after waiting 20 frames) (over)click (plays an animation right away) (down)I placed these movie clips inside of my button's up, over, and down frames. This works great except when I click, i'll need to click and hold for my animation to get past the first frame.

I have a Flash movie to be displayed in fullscreen on a kiosk. Also, It needs to run in a browser window because I'm using JavaScript to reload the page for resetting the movie.
The problem is, it doesn't go fullscreen when I put the following line to the constructor:
stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;
But it works fine if I put the line to a button's click handler.
Note: It doesn't work if just call the handler function with a null parameter.
How can I make it fullscreen as soon as it opens?

I'm aware this sounds quite involved, but would it be possible to make a Flash button counter that would store the number of clicks (that it displays) on a remote server; so even if the page was closed and re-opened it would still show "2" or "11" for example. In addition to that, would it be possible to only allow one click per IP address? So for example, one specific IP address (user) couldn't keep clicking it over and over and increasing the number.
The reason I wanted to use a Flash object as opposed to something like jQuery was because I want to embed it on a forum that isn't mine. Obviously I don't have access to the site's files/modules etc. Essentially it's almost like the Facebook "like button." It displays the number of likes, as well is storing the value on a remote server.
