I'm able to detect (at the most) two simultaneous key presses via a switch statement and series of booleans. For my game's sake, I need to be able to detect up to 4 keys.
Here's my test script:
var key_37:Boolean = false;
var key_38:Boolean = false;
var key_39:Boolean = false;
[Code]....
The keyCode property only stores one Key. This means that, if I was making a game for example and wanted to have it so that if the up key and the left key were pressed it would move up and left at the same time.I've tried extending the keyboardEvent class and storing the keyCodes in an array, but It returns an error.Here's my class.
package{
import flash.events.*
public class KeyEvent extends KeyboardEvent{
[code].....
Here's my AS, just get this error
ActionScript Code:
**Error** Symbol=movieclip, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler
movieclip.gotoAndStop ("framelabel",random(4)+2); **Error** Symbol=movieclip2, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler
movieclip2.gotoAndStop ("framelabel"random(10)+2);
. The AS is on said button within the MC, and the MC has an instance name.This is the AS I'm using. I'm trying to make a randomize button that generates a random frame in my flash file instead of one MC..
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
movieclip.gotoAndStop ("framelabel"random(4)+2);
movieclip2.gotoAndStop ("framelabel"random(10)+2);
}
i wrote this code:
[Code]...
} // end btn4Loaded. and it works, once clicked, it does what it has to do. Ofcourse, me trying to break it, i found that if i click the buttons fast, it will re-import the external swfs causing me to have multiple instances of the external swf. so in short, if i click like normal(slow ) ie like a person that clicked to view a section etc, then its fine, if i click fast or repeated clicking ie like a person that double clicks etc, then the problem occurs.
How can i make it so a when you press a button it starts a countdown but every other press dosent reset it?

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make my platform game character shoot a gun, my character and gun are one movieclip and the bullet is another. The bullet mc starts on a blank frame with a stop() function, when I press the space bar the bullet mc plays from frame 2 which is a motion tween of the bullet quickly moving across the page. I've set the bullet's y and x values relative to the character mc so that the bullet always comes from the gun.
My issue is that if I press the space bar a bullet will fly out of the gun (great!) but if I press the space bar again, the first bullet disappears and the bullet animation starts again. I want to be able to shoot a new bullet every time I press the space bar without effecting the bullets that have already been shot.

I am making something that requires me to have a key pressed. I tried using the Code: if (Key.isDown(Key.thekey) But the key I want does not show up. I want to use the a,s,d,f,g,h,j,k,w,e,t,y,u, keys but they don't show up so I don't know how to make that happen. on a letter keypress.

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.
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.

My problem is now making the others slides appear one after the other, every time I click the Right Arrow button.I think I have to do a for cycle, but I don't really understand how it works.

which works great except that it scrolls the whole thing all at once. Is it possible to put some kind of increment in there so that on a key press it only moves a certain amout of pixels?
I have 3 movie clips lined up as buttons. When you rollover one, the others fade out to an alpha of 20. I also added an arrow that is called when I click on a mc to align it self to the top center of the mc. When I added the arrow I lost my fading. Somewhere in the actions is messing this up.Here is a fla file. I am using Flash MX actionscriptI also have Flash MX 2004 but I dont like it.

View 1 RepliesI have a command inside an onpress, that doesn't do what it's supposed to.It is written like this:
Code:
on (press) {_root.window.gotoAndPlay(10);_root.imageOne.imageTween.gotoAndPlay(2);}
The above actionscript is on a button, and that button is located at:
_root.messageOne.messageGraphic
The imageTween frame 2 is the beginning of a tween that scales that movie clip, but it just sits there and doesn't scale. So the on (press) isn't working for some reason.

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.
