ActionScript 3.0 :: Keyboard Input - If Press "v", The Flash Player Doesn't React?
Jan 17, 2009
I'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 experiencing an annoying issue with a movie clip button. The movie clip is linked to a class which adds a rollover and rollout effect. The issue I'm having is that, even though the button is in frame 1, the button doesn't react to the mouse for some seconds into the movie. The only thing I can think is that it's the class itself, but I'm not certain. Here's the class:-

How do you press a key (like "L") and go to the next frame?
Which event must I pick?
I assume it's something like: stage.addEventListener(Keyboard., but after that I don't know what to do.
This is for AS 3.0 by the way.

I'm trying to figure out how to get buttons to be activated by keyboard presses. I have found how to do that with specific keys ... but not with ANY keypress. I'm making a game for tiny children and they can't manipulate the mouse well. So I'm setting up a few things on stage that will run in a certain order when the child presses any key on the keyboard. For example, any key is pressed, dog wags his tail .... any key is pressed again, cat jumps, any key is pressed a third time, cow munches hay, and so on till it goes through a bunch of animal animations, then goes back to the first one. I'm pretty new at this stuff and have been banging my head against google for days trying to find the answer to this out there with no luck! I could do either movieclips or movie clips inside buttons if that makes sense.

I'm creating a virtual keyboard for a touchscreen Flex app and i'm trying to simulate a key press by dispatching a KeyboardEvent. I've written a handler function to listen for the event and act accordingly. So far so good but it's starting to get complicated as i have to manage the focused textInputs (easy), the cursor position in those fields (not to so easy), etc.Now, if only there was a way to actually dispatch a KeyboardEvent that Flex would actually interpret as a genuine key press all those issues would be gone.

I have this code to move my player...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyboardPress);
function keyboardPress (key:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (key.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT){
player.x -= 4;
}
}
...however, when the left key is pressed, the player jumps left once, pauses, then continues to move left.
In AS2,
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){player.x -= 4;}
provided for a much smoother movement.So, what is the code equivalent in AS3 of the code from AS2 above? Or, in other words, how do I write a smooth keyboard movement code for AS3?

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'm compiling a Flash project to an iPhone IPA file from the command line. I have an editable TLFTextField on the stage, but whatever I do, the softKeyboard on iOS won't pop up. Trying to set "needsSoftKeyboard" on the TLFTextField gives me an error when testing the movie via Flash: "property not found". The movie does load correctly on iOS, but still no keyboard pops up. It also doesn't matter if I put "pan" in the application descriptor file or not.
Basically I just want a keyboard to pop up to fill in text in an input field. What am I missing?

i have created a page in flash with input text field and a toggle button which implies full screen mode as well as normal mode by including the below script. stage.display = "fullscreen".
Users cannot enter text in text input fields while in full screen mode. All keyboard input and key-related ActionScript is disabled while in full screen mode, with the exception of the keyboard shortcuts that take the viewer out of fullscreen mode Is there any solution to enable the keyboad inputs.

I'm starting work on a midi piano game in flash. I have my midi keyboard hooked in through the USB. Now I've been told that there is some way to get flash to read any kind of input but I am not sure on how. Basically all that will happen is that u hit a key on the piano and a box shows up of random color. Longer u hold a key bigger it gets. Each key will have different box assigned to it. I think I could handle everything but I'm stuck on the first step and that is getting flash to read the Piano key presses.
