I'm trying to catch Return key presses in a TLF textfield, but the code I'm using is not working:
Code:
function keyHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
trace(e.keyCode == 13); // true/false
[code].....
Does anyone know the greatest possible value the "keyCode" property will return?I'm mostly worried about international keyboards.I'm wanting to release a few KeyboardEvents myself using some rather nifty code (if I may say so myself) and want to make sure there are no future conflicts.Each of my "special keys" have a unique id numbered sequentially. Is there anywhere I can start my numbering from where I can be safe from conflicting key codes?

Everything worked perfectly fine in CS5, then I converted it to CS4 and it won't move my guy around, or even trace anything, when I press the WASD keys. The arrow keys still work fine.

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.
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.

I have a function that needs to pass the "spacebar" keycode into an array. I'm not sure how to give the function a keycode that hasn't actually been pressed. It seems like there should be a way to do this, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Is there a way to give a keycode (which is interpreted as such, rather than as a number) to a function, without that key having been pressed?
View 5 RepliesThis line of code is generating codes for other keys but not the Enter Key trace("key code: : " + e.keyCode); It's like AS3 doesn't know there is such a key. The code should be 13 but on my system according to AS3 it doesn't exist. I'm usind CS4 is this a CS4 bug?

View 2 RepliesIs there an easy way to convert keyCode to charCode?
Either this or a way to get the name of a key via it's keyCode and not it's charCode (I've made all of my movie use keyCodes so far, and I really don't want to have to convert it just to get the name of the key).I know there is a String.fromCharCode but this isn't what I need, I need one from keyCode.

View 3 RepliesI would have expected, given the way Adobe seems to do things, that you could reference some of the non-ASCII keycodes using a static constant, for example KeyCode.UP_KEY. Am I dreaming? Or do you just assume 38 will be the up key in perpetuity..?
View 1 RepliesI thought all keyboards were alike other than maybe special Chinese and Japanese ones. I was guessing that, other than adding a few extra letters (such as Sweden's the keyboards would be identical... WRONG. find it extremely annoying typing since when I reach for a ", I get an when I want a closed curly bracket, I get ^. Swedish keyboards are not a programmer's best friend. It is quite frustrating, but that is another subject, and quite off topic.o doubt, since the key locations vary so drastically in some areas,How are "keyCode" and "charCode" values different if captured from other keyboards?How smart is Flash, and how much does the developer need to compensate for this?Is there any way to detect what type of keyboard the user is currently using?
View 1 RepliesThe trace function in this file doesn't output all of the keycodes on my keyboard. Some letters generate a keycode and others don't. For instance, "u" outputs 85 but "i" outputs nothing.

I've read that the enter keycode should be 13. However when using
trace(event.keyCode);
other keys will show up but the enter key does not. Could it be my computer or something? Using macbook pro keyboard.

is there a way to display the keycode for a KEY_DOWN command on the screen ? and im not talking about the keycode itself ( the num ), im talking about the symbol on the keyboard...lets say im pressing T on the keyboard, i want to see T on the screen and when im pressing P, same thing, i wanna see P.

View 3 RepliesCS5 AS3 - TLFTextField are in use and a requirement. I have text fields that are dynamically changed by XML for different languages. I control the fonts (Embedded, but can vary by project builds). Characters are not mono-spaced.
I need to detect if the inserted text exceeds the fixed text's area. I only want to want fully displayed characters.
I do not want to use the 'length' method that just counts the characters in the text string.
