I'm wondering if there's a way to temporarily disable keyboard shortcuts in Flash? The problem is that some key presses don't register when I'm testing a movie in flash because flash itself registers the key. For example pressing "B" while I'm testing a movie activates the Brush tool but doesn't trigger an event in the actual movie. When I publish the movie and try it in a browser it works fine.

View 2 RepliesTwo buttons ( or movieclips ) on screen, if user clicks one it plays an animation loop, sets a variable, and resets the other button back to the "up" state, or the non-animation part.
Actual use is a simple game with two skin options for a space ship, if user clicks the left one it glows, sets the shipSelect = 1 and waits for player to click continue at the bottom. If the player clicks the right (while the first is still going) then it resets the first ship back to non-glowy, starts to glow itself and sets the variable.
First attempt at this was to have two movieclips for each ship, with a "up" state and a "down" state inside the mc's, labeled as such, the down state had the animation loop.
However, I was running into trouble with getting a mouse listener to see if the user clicked on the MC. Tried things like
my_mc1.onRelease = function () { reset other mc to up, set this mc to down, set the variable }
and onClipEvent(mouseDown) { etc }
decided that wasn't a good way to go about it, didnt care if it was animated and just went with buttons.
this worked fine except that it wouldn't reset the other button when I clicked on one, say i clicked the left one, it would glow, then i clicked the right one - it would glow but i couldn't get a way for the left to stop glowing, when the right one is clicked.
I am currently working on a new game and I need help on this part. It is probably simple to do but I am a noob. Basically I am making a window cleaning game and I have set it up so that the dirt slowly dissapears through the frames. What I need to know is how to I script it so that each time I press space it jumps to each frame.
e.g hit space jump to frame 2 press again jumps to next frame.I know How to set up the key press and know space is 32..
Is there a script similar to the image below that lets the user press a copy button to copy text to their clipboards (instead of right-clicking to copy)? Here's the URL where I got that image: [URL]. Where I can find a script to do implement that functionality?

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'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:

InputText1.text += 1
}

I can't seem to get the buttons to fill in the second text field.
I have a interactive movie clip with buttons. The problem I have with my movie clip is that whilst the movie is playing and I click the forebtn, it stops the movie. Ideally I would like the movie clip to start playing straight away when I press the fore button.

View 6 RepliesI've been trying to figure out how to use Keyboard events, so I tried out an example I saw online, but I ran into a problem. It's supposed to tell me whenever a key is pressed, and it works for keys such as ctrl and shift, but not for letter keys. For example,when testing in Flash ("test movie"), if I press "v", the Flash player doesn't react, but the Flash editor switches to the selection tool (keyboard shortcut "v"). How do I fix this? Here's the code I used:
function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
trace("Key Pressed") ;[code].........
I'm doing up a flash file as a project, and so far I have one frame with 2 types of text, one introduction and another that says, "Press Enter To Continue..." I also have another frame side-by-side with another bunch of text. I want to stop playing the animation at the very first frame, and only proceed to play the second frame if the person hits the Enter key on his keyboard. Alternatively, if I can allow the person to hit any key on the keyboard, that would be better. I am unclear of what I am supposed to type in my ActionScript 3.0.

View 7 RepliesI know how to make a button and all.. but what do I do to make it go to the next scene?
scene 1: Startsidan
scene 2: Sidan
I made a frontpage and when I click on the picture I want it to go to scene 2, where it enters the inside.
the button is called PortalenKnappen, I want to be able to just press on it and it will go to the "sidan(scene 2)" that's empty at the moment.
what would I have to write? I've tried "portalenKnappen.onPress nextScene("sidan", 1"); but it doesn't work.
In my game the Superhero walks around the screen by pressing some keys. But between the moment you press the key and the moment the moment the Superhero starts to move there's a slight delay.

I have 3 movie clips lined up as buttons. When you rollover one, the others fade out to an alpha of 20.
