ActionScript 3.0 :: Greatest 'keyCode' Value For KeyboardEvent
Jan 7, 2011
Does anyone know the greatest possible value the "keyCode" property will return?I'm mostly worried about international keyboards.I'm wanting to release a few KeyboardEvents myself using some rather nifty code (if I may say so myself) and want to make sure there are no future conflicts.Each of my "special keys" have a unique id numbered sequentially. Is there anywhere I can start my numbering from where I can be safe from conflicting key codes?
Everything worked perfectly fine in CS5, then I converted it to CS4 and it won't move my guy around, or even trace anything, when I press the WASD keys. The arrow keys still work fine.
Is there an easy way to return the greatest term of a 4-term array and if the greatest ones are equal return the ones that are equal? I currently have a function that does it in a really complicated way so it's not urgent or anything, but I'd just like to know how to do it for future reference.
I'm creating a keypad which uses buttons to enter numbers into an input textfield.I can get the buttons to enter numbers into the field but can't figure out how it knows the code is correct.I've attached the fla to explain what I mean.Code used so far:
I have a function that needs to pass the "spacebar" keycode into an array. I'm not sure how to give the function a keycode that hasn't actually been pressed. It seems like there should be a way to do this, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Is there a way to give a keycode (which is interpreted as such, rather than as a number) to a function, without that key having been pressed?
This line of code is generating codes for other keys but not the Enter Key trace("key code: : " + e.keyCode); It's like AS3 doesn't know there is such a key. The code should be 13 but on my system according to AS3 it doesn't exist. I'm usind CS4 is this a CS4 bug?

Is there an easy way to convert keyCode to charCode?
Either this or a way to get the name of a key via it's keyCode and not it's charCode (I've made all of my movie use keyCodes so far, and I really don't want to have to convert it just to get the name of the key).I know there is a String.fromCharCode but this isn't what I need, I need one from keyCode.
I am trying to use the letter x to stop and play my movie, I got it to sucessfully stop but I am having trouble restarting it once it is stopped, [code]
I would have expected, given the way Adobe seems to do things, that you could reference some of the non-ASCII keycodes using a static constant, for example KeyCode.UP_KEY. Am I dreaming? Or do you just assume 38 will be the up key in perpetuity..?
I thought all keyboards were alike other than maybe special Chinese and Japanese ones. I was guessing that, other than adding a few extra letters (such as Sweden's the keyboards would be identical... WRONG. find it extremely annoying typing since when I reach for a ", I get an when I want a closed curly bracket, I get ^. Swedish keyboards are not a programmer's best friend. It is quite frustrating, but that is another subject, and quite off topic.o doubt, since the key locations vary so drastically in some areas,How are "keyCode" and "charCode" values different if captured from other keyboards?How smart is Flash, and how much does the developer need to compensate for this?Is there any way to detect what type of keyboard the user is currently using?
The trace function in this file doesn't output all of the keycodes on my keyboard. Some letters generate a keycode and others don't. For instance, "u" outputs 85 but "i" outputs nothing.
is there a way to display the keycode for a KEY_DOWN command on the screen ? and im not talking about the keycode itself ( the num ), im talking about the symbol on the keyboard...lets say im pressing T on the keyboard, i want to see T on the screen and when im pressing P, same thing, i wanna see P.
What is wrong with this code I get the error 1119: Access of possibly undefined property keyCode through a reference with static type flash.events:Event.
I'm a Flash newbie and I'm trying to get some keyboard action going. I've followed some tutorials, but nothing seems to work. To test it I created a brand new fla file and added the following code in the first frame:
[Code]...
The first trace ("Add listener") shows up in the debug output, but no matter which keys I press I can't get the function to be called. Am I doing it wrong?
Alright I'm new to Keyboard event listeners so I might be making a really obvious mistake that I don't know about. But what I want to do is, when someone types the letters for the word 'BROTHER', then it appears on the screen and it moves to the next frame. Here's the code I have atm I currently have the letters for 'BROTHER' each as a movie clip. The instance names are, RKey, OKey, etc.

Now, is this the only mistake in my thing? Or are there more mistakes? How do I fix it?
I have an error on my KeyboardEvent and I can't find what the problem is. The file of my class is mc_boog.as and when I compile it returns me this error: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: KeyboardEvent.
I currently have an AS3 fla with a couple of mouseEvent functions but now the client wants to add a KeyboardEvent as well to the same exact functions. Can I add another eventListener to that without having to create a second function? It would be a huge waste of code if I did. Here's what I currently have in truncated form:
rightArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide_right); leftArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide_left); function slide_right(e:MouseEvent):void {
I'm trying to add a KeyBoard event in addition to the MouseEvent I already have for my function. So I set up the following code to handle that but it's giving me 1136 errors looking for an argument inside the parenthesis when in reality, it doesn't need one.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyPressed); function onKeyPressed(evt:KeyboardEvent):void { switch (evt.keyCode) {
I'm using very basic code to move an object around the stage using keys on the keyboard (W,A,S,D). However, I have noticed at times when the CPU hiccups, flash does not register that a key was released and in turn my object keeps moving in a direction without any keys pressed. The only way to stop the object from moving is to press the key corresponding to the direction the object is moving.
I had a problem with KeyboardEvent in ActionScript 3.0,I created a simple shooting game, the game has 2 Frame,
1. Title Game (Frame 1)
2. Game Playing (Frame 2)
The problem is in Frame 1 when Button is clicked playinggame then switched Frame to Frame 2 where the game takes place where the user can move the aircraft by using the keyboard, (Left Arrow, Up Arrow, Right Arrow & Down Arrow).But when a keyboard button is pressed, KeyboardEvent not react at all, and aircraft can not be controlled.Even more bizarre when the stage at the click KeyboardEvent can react and aircraft can be controlled.how to keep the button is clicked playinggame in Frame and the Frame 2, the aircraft can still be controlled using the keyboard [URL]
