I´m trying to catch KEY_UP event if I press ENTER, without clicking on stage.
I´ve already disabled keyboard shorcuts for flash player, and added stage.focus = stage.
Not succeeding.
It only works if I click on stage.
It seems that for the other keys the KEY_UP works.
I am trying to capture Ctrl+C. I have noticed that many times, there is no KEY_UP event for C key. I believe it happens in cases KEY_UP event for C key should be thrown just before or after KEY_UP event for Ctrlkey.
Why does this happen? How can I catch the KEY_UP for C key?
I've this code for a form. Now I also want to put in like gotoAndPlay(1); if success How to do?
Code:
if (success) {
if (statusVars.sent == "success") {
clearForm();
statusMsg.text = "Sent";
I would also like to send the information in the form just by clicking ENTER instead of click a button, today the code look like:
Code:
bttnSend.bttn.onPress = function() {
checkForm();
};
How can I change it so it also check the form if the user click enter?
my enter key doesnt seem to work,but other keys do work..[code]
View 1 RepliesI have successfully made a keypress listener that does an action when the user presses a specific key. The only problem is that it doesn't work until the user physically clicks on the swf.
Is there a way to set the listener to detect a key press even if the user hasn't "activated" the .swf? When I refresh the webpage I'm already in the web browser so the detect should work from the start and the user shouldn't have to click on the .swf to make the keypress work.
Maybe there is no way around this but it'd be nice or if someone knows a work around?
Here's my code stripped down to the essentials:
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {

I'm using Flash CS3 (AS2.0) - how an I make the submit button in my movie work with the 'enter' on my keyboard?
View 1 RepliesI've read that the enter keycode should be 13. However when using
trace(event.keyCode);
other keys will show up but the enter key does not. Could it be my computer or something? Using macbook pro keyboard.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, entered);
function entered(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
trace(event.keyCode);
[Code]....
i.e. I can't get this to trace "enter button" Also noticed no code traceable for Ctrl. alt Tab or Backpace

I'm trying to get my flash movie so that it pauses when the mouse is over the movie and continues when the mouse is not over the movie during certain segments of frames in my movie clip. So basically I need some code that executes this: if the mouse is over the stage between frame 25 and 45 pause the movie until the mouse leaves the stage or the next or back buttons are selected.

View 2 RepliesI am working through the Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book.The exercise is to enter TLF text onto the stage, when I do so all I get is a blue outlined box that appears in the upper left corner of the stage. I do not get a text cursor.When I open the supplied reference file for that chapter it also shows a number of blue outlined boxes, all in the upper left hand corner of the stage. When selected the properties manager indicates they are TLF text.

I created four instance of movieclip on stage and named them t1_mc,t2_mc,t3_mc,t4_mc. Then I made and array and loaded them inside the array
var arr1:Array = new Array( t1_mc, t2_mc, t3_mc, t4_mc );
var names:String;
//function made to add event listener to each object
function addListner():void {

I have a typing game and I want to be able to detect period and commas, however unless you are holding down another key (any other key), the period and comma keys do not trigger KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP. I found that sometimes they would work when focus was set to the document class. After hours of debugging my game trying to figure it out, I decided to create a new project to JUST test this problem. Here's the absolute barbones example:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]..............
If you run this, it should automatically set focus to the document class. At this point, the period and the comma do not work. Now click the stage and you will find that the comma and period do not work UNLESS you hold down another key (for example hold down the m key and then press the comma key). Also at this time, focus is set to null.Now click the textfield, and the comma and the period work again.
The problem is that I've done a lot of work in my game, and there's too much code bound to shift and control keys. For example you need to hold shift key to select multiple soldiers or control key to shoot or sometimes pause the game or even call a map, a lot of stuff in GUI depends on those keys as well. Both KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN are added to the stage object. But, time after time, there happens a very annoying thing, KEY_UP event just doesn't fire for shift or control (in most cases it does, but not always). That is, I press shift, start selecting soldiers, then release shift but Flash Player keeps thinking it's still pressed, so I can still select multiple soldiers, which is not good.
I found the exact same problem here: [URL]
I started working with AS3 a month ago, I know the basics and stuff, but I can't do that much. The user would draw lines by clicking on the stage. The code works exactly as I wanted it to, but it is on AS2 . I tried, but I can't 'convert' it to AS3. I would like to know how this code would work on AS3! Here's the download link of the .fla, so you can see better what I mean: [URL].
View 3 RepliesI have a frame-by-frame animation. I want to be able to click and drag on the stage back and forth and traverse through the animation. I.e. I want to click and drag from left to right to make the animation go forwards and right to left to make the animation go backwards. How would I achieve this? I am making an assumption that there will be some maths involved in calculating mouse position and traversing to the correct frame, but how would I do this?

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.

View 1 RepliesI have a small mask that I need to animate across the stage in response to clicking various buttons. It has to go a different distance each time depending on which button is clicked along the x axis. I can get at the starting and ending x co-ordinates. need to develop a set of x cordinates so that the mask starts moving fast and slows down as it gets nearer - kind of like the easing effect. I figured using some sort of simple 1/x^2 expression and have spent an hour or so fiddling in excel. Trouble is its a LONG TIME since I did maths, and I can't remember what formula to use. Have tried google with "parabola", "simple curves" etc etc

View 3 RepliesI have a drop-down menu that stays open when I click it, until I click it again. I want it to close when I click away from it. So I created an event listener of type MouseEvent.CLICK and apply it to the stage.
The obvious problem is, though, that when I click the drop-down menu to make it open, I'm also clicking the stage, which prevents it from opening.
I think there's probably a simple solution to this but I'm stuck. I called stopPropagation() on the drop-down menu and that seems like it should help but it doesn't.
I'm just trying to remove a movie clip from the stage upon double clicking

I'm trying to make as3 application which uses custom mouse pointer while pressing spacebar on my keyboard. Everything works fine when I don't move my mouse but when I do the KEY_UP event is dispatched to my listener almost immediately (and this is while I'm still pressing my key down). Below is simple main class which used to test this behaviour:
[Code]...
I have discovered a bug with KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP keyLocation values for the shift keys. how to reproduce this:
1.when no other keys are down the value for left shift is 1 and for right shift is 2 for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP
2. when you have pressed shift and then press another key - when releasing shift the value for left and right become 0.
There is absolutely no reason why these values should report anything other then what they initially reported on key down as each key fires its own event with details for each , regardless of any key combinations. Im using cs5.5 windows 7 basic.
