ActionScript 3.0 :: Making A Keyboard Event Only Fire Once When The Key Is Held Down?

Jan 28, 2010

this one has got me stumped. I want an object to move 10 pixels every time a key is pressed, and I don't want it to keep moving when the key is held down.And I want to know why it moves once, and then waits a bit before moving more. I do not see why anyone would want it to do that!!!

Actionscript 3.0 :: Keyboard Event Listener Can't Call On Function / Even Fire

Jul 6, 2011

The keyBoard event listeners call on the rotate and unrotate functions and based on the key inputs(A and D) will implement either of the functions and rotate the image or return it to the original upright position. However, I haven't been able to get the function to work. When I press the A or D keys on the keyboard nothing happens. I even put trace() in one of the functions to see if the function will even be implemented but I don't get anything. I put in my Scripts below. Why are the functions not working? Do the eventlisteners fire or are there conflicts?[code]...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stop Keyboard Action Repeating When Key Is Held Down?

Apr 10, 2009

I'm developing a game for my final year project at university that has a character who can move up and down on screen. The upper half of the screen is reflected in the lower half so that there are actually two characters on screen at once, each reacting exactly the same way to keyboard input.One of the mechanics involves the two avatars changing positions relative to their halves of the screen which requires a spacebar press to execute. The problem I'm having is that I don't want the characters to change positions once every frame if the spacebar is held down. I need to implement some sort of delay once the spacebar is pressed so that the characters won't swap positions for another second or so.

Code:
var plachaFlipPointY:Number = char.mc.y;
var shadowPlachaFlipPointY:Number = schar.mc.y;

Flex :: Event.Complete Does Not Fire When Loading A URL?

Aug 11, 2010

I'm an experienced AS developer, but this is something very basic about flex that I can't figure out. In the class below, I'm not sure why the function imageLoaded would not be executed when the image loads a url. Is there a race condition happening here? The application is completely loaded by the time this object is created and setPicture is called. How can I get the Event.COMPLETE event to fire properly in this case?The line and Log.info functions are conveniences for me, and they definitely work. Here's my MXML definition:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Flash :: How To Fire A Event For Array Push

How would I go about as to addEventListener for a array object. I'm trying to avoid running a timer every x milliseconds to check for new elements in array object, rather trying to make a event fire when new elements are detected to process them and remove them. Is it possible with Arrays? maybe ArrayCollections? either is fine.

Flex :: Does Fire An Event After A Chart Is Rendered In UI

Sep 7, 2011

I am looking for an event which is fired (if any) after a chart is rendered (visible in UI) in Flash, we are using Flex SDK 3.0. We have to capture the screenshot after the chart is rendered, current implementation adds a huge delay in update_complete event callback, this is slowing down the whole job of generating images. I tried to use EXIT_FRAME event, but this doesn't seem to serve the purpose.

Flex :: HTML Control's Event Won't Fire?

Sep 14, 2011

I'm having trouble firing or capturing the results of an event firing.

Here's the current code...

<s:Panel id="instructionsPanel" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0" title="Register">
<mx:HTML id="htmlViewer" left="10" right="10" top="0" bottom="10"

[Code].....

What's happening is that the user fills out a form in the HTML Viewer, then when they click the submit button I want to be notified of the page change.

If they land on URL A, then they'll be shown one message. If they land on URL B, they'll be shown another.

However, the event isn't firing.

I've also tried COMPLETE and HTML_DOM_INITIALIZE.

How do I do this? Is it something even remotely like:

???

EDIT: I don't want to put any code on movie clips -- my code all runs from the root/main timeline.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Asynchronous Keyboard Controls - Stop Listening To An Event As Soon As Another Event Has Been Dispatched?

Nov 1, 2009

i have a question to ask about asynchronous key controls This was what i did

[Code]...

and i checked with [URL]...?newspage=6249 and it looked more or less the same, so why is it that when i move my character and when i hold down a key, it just keeps on listerning to that keypress event listener, instead of just executing the other event. So say, i tap left and after which i tap right, it will work just fine, but if i hold left and tap right, the event listerner will still be listening to the left key. So, i was wondering could anyone point me in a direction as to how should i make my code stop listening to an event as soon as another event has been dispatched?

Flex :: Embedded Button.swf Does Not Fire CLICK Event?

Aug 9, 2010

i'm trying to embed a swf to my as3 flex project like this:

[Embed(source = "../assets/next_button.swf")]
[Bindable]
protected var nextButtonClass:Class;
protected var next_btn:MovieClip = next_btn = new nextButtonClass() as MovieClip;
// ...
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAdChange);

next_button.swf is as2 and created with adobe flash cs4. there is a single button inside it.

if i change type of button symbol to movieclip at next_button.fla, there is no problem at passing CLICK event.

i tried to cast next_btn to mx.controls.Button and fl.controls.Button classes, next_btn is becoming null in that case.

by the way button is reacting mouseover and click events properly just doesn't pass it to upper swf.

is there any trick i can do to pass Button events to my container swf?
