ActionScript 3.0 :: Stage - KeyboardEvent - When The Game Ends And I Press Restart, The SPACE Key Is Not Working?
Dec 17, 2009
The problem is: when the game starts, "SPACE BAR" is working fine and changes the game from day to night. When the game ends and I press restart, the SPACE key is not working. On the third time it works, on the fourth not and it follows that way. Every second time that I play the game, the SPACE key doesn't work.
The game initializes the player and sends him as a parameter a stage object and the player listens for KEY_UP.When I press restart, the game runs the init() function again.Below there are the Game.as and Player.as classes.
Code:
package
{
import com.greensock.TweenLite;[code].....

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..

I'm using AS2 and fps120.I'm creating a tetris game, but I encountered a problem: I made a function which makes the block go directly to the bottom on the press of "space".I used
if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
...
}
But when I pressed space, the blocks stacked up immediately. It's because after I press space, another block apears immediately and goes to the bottom immediately, and keeps going until I release spade. It isn't a problem if I use lower fps, but my fps is 120, which means even I release space as quickly as I could, at least six blocks would stack up. I want to know is there anyway to detect the releasing of "space" or a detection which only detects on the instant I press, instead of when the key is down.

Im working with FlashDevelop and have two main projects, all pure AS3 projects.When trying to load my second project from my main project I get all kinds of errors.The Main class of the main project extends Sprite and the Main class in the "to-be-imported" project extends MovieClip. Looking at the loading of the swf in the debug window in FD it all seems fine:
[SWF] 'pathToSwf'secondProject.swf - 410 626 bytes after decompression.
If i try to assign the loaded swf to a newly created MovieClip I get a coercion failiure:
swfContent = loader.content; // =>
Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Main@46c0201 to flash.display.MovieClip.
So, typecasting the loaded content like so:
swfContent = loader.content as MovieClip;
removes that error but then I fall into the next pit as I try to call addChild:
Error #2007: Parameter child must be non-null.
Trying to get around the issue I tried to add the loader directly into the container where I want to show the external swf. This is when the real interesting problems begin:
targetContainer.addChild(loader);
My main application now hang, restarting in a never ending loop. How can my external swf be loaded but then again be null.It works perfectly fine when I run the external swf by itself...

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{

Is there a way to get this code to work? It's meant to count the seconds passed while playing the game and gives a bonus multiplier to the current score when the game ends. I don't know how to get the returned value to combine it into the multiplier int variable. Is there any way to get this code to work or is it completely wrong?

im creating a card game. i have a seperate timeline for the menu bar. ive placed this code on the first cell of the timeline:
Code:
import mx.controls.Menu;
import mx.controls.MenuBar;[code].....
the problem i get is that when the user selects "new game" it should restart the game. when it does this the toolbar is not reset. instead a new menu item is added (without removing the old one. so evertime the user hits new game, a new "file" menu is added). how do i make sure there is only 1 "File" menu? and im using actionscript 2

I'm making a game and I want to restart the entire game after its finished.
The movieclips are on stage with addChild function. So I thought maybe I can make a if statement and use removeChild to remove the movieclips. Now only one movieclip is removed and all the other are still on.
Is there another way to restart the whole game with a button or something?
Here is the code:

I've created a simple drag 'n' drop game and I want the color of the target to be changed only when the user puts inside it all the text frames.
The instance name of the target is "targetCircle" and that of the text frames is "circle_mc", "circle1_mc"....."circle5_mc".

I am trying to make a game like the escape game you might have seen on the internet. I have got all the movement pretty much sorted its just I cannot get the game to restart. I am relatively new the AS3 so bear with me on this. I have a Main class, an enemy class, a player class and a button class. The button class creates the restart button and from the main class, when certain conditions are met, an event listener is added to this button instance to say "on click... do this...". I do not no what to put to make it reset the game however. I have tried to clear all the objects when the game is over but I cannot get the game to restart on click. I figured if I can just add a new Main class instance then the game would be reset but I cannot seem to do it...
Main.as
package Game{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.text.TextField;
[Code] .....
This is where I figured I needed to create a new instance of the main class but it just won't work. It comes up with an invalid data error in the output panel. By this point in the program, practically every object has been removed from the stage and display list and the game is over and is ready to be reset...

I am almost done my short AS3 "Flight of the Conchords" game I just want to attempt to do one last thing...to successfully restart the game without getting a bunch of null object errors. The way it restarts now is that if you die or win the game then a screen pops up and a button takes you to the previous scene (menu), the problem is that once it goes to the previous scene all these null object errors occur.
P.S. This is my second time working with AS3, and I was able to do this following a YouTube tutorial by Borris123psn.

How would I go about creating a function where, when the space bar is pressed and held down it creates a continual line (that flows until you release the space bar)

I have a var defined and that is colour var colour = 0; and I want to increase var everytime you press space so I have an invisible button with this code in it
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
colour+1;
}
This is so that I can advance in a movieclip. I have the code for that here:
onEnterFrame; {
if (colour == 1) {
head.gotoAndStop(1);
}

I have a keyboardEvent which listens for pressed keys. I also have a NumericStepper. If I change the value in the NumericStepper, the keyboardEvent stops working (I think the reason is that the textField in the numericStepper, or the numericStepper itself, gets active). So, I've tried alot of things.
numericstepper.textField.enabled = false
numericstepper.textField.selectable = false
numericstepper.textField.editable = false etc...
But nothing seems to work.

I'm trying to wrapup a slideshow for a client and the client asked for keyboardEvents in addition to buttonEvents. So I went ahead and added a stage.addEventListener and it works but only if you click on the stage first. In Flash CS4 itself when you test a movie, the problem doesn't happen but when you test it in a browser, the problem exists. Go to [URL] and see what I mean. Try the keyboard left and right arrows first. Then click on the stage and try again. How can I make it get focus on the stage on startup?

Please seee attched file.I am getting an error:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at MethodInfo-19()It only happens sometimes when an invader is removed in the moveBullet method I think but basically the game behaves incorrectly and sometimes goes to the You Win frame even if the user has lost or just lost a life.

if(Key.isDown)(Key.SPACE))

The problem is that even though this external movie covers the whole stage, My mouse can still "see" buttons that are on the stage, and I can click them. I don't want to be able to click the buttons through my external movie.
