ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Shift And Left / Right Arrow As Naviagtion?
Jun 25, 2009
I found this tutorial on kirupa about identifying keyboard and using them to navigate,however I cant seem to get it to work using (shift) and left, right, up, down.I am going to use left and right arrows for one thing and shift left or right to do another.Does anyone know how to make this happen? Here is my code so far (not working for combing shift and value)
function reactToArrowKeys(keyEvent:KeyboardEvent) {
if (keyEvent.keyCode == 38) {
trace("Up Arrow pressed.");
As mentioned in this post KeyLocation.LEFT and KeyLocation.RIGHT only work a Windows PC, not on a Mac. I found that out the hard way during a presentation today :X
Is there any fix to determine which shift key is pressed on a Mac?
When I load the myMC2.loadmovie Hyper_youtube_version.swf, the whole website shifts to the left. Plays fine but I cant figure out why its doing that. When I load a regular player....it works but but the new player I got hyper_youtube_version.swf is loaded, it doesnt seem to work.
I'm not at all used to working with actionscript but sometime back in time I made a flash demo where I managed to map my left & right arrow keys to navigate to the frames of my choice.
To be able to navigate to specific frames in the timeline by pressing either Left arrow or Right arrow key.
This is the code Im trying to use
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){ gotoAndStop(nextFrame); } else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){
i have different scenes once clicked it goes to next similarly want to have right and left keys want to work with but its only working in the 1st Scene, once user clicks and goes to next scene then arrow keys stop working,
i got my character to move left, right, down and up wit this code:
[Code]....
My question is, how can i block the up and down movement? I tried simply deleting some part of the script to block does movement from the user. But then the script would not work properly : s Here is the uploaded page i'm working on: link.
i want a my_mc to move when i press the < LEFT> arrow but also to fire and onEnterFrame event so it will move.. and also to delete the onEnterFrame when the key is not pressed so the onENterFrame is not going on in the background
Basically I wanna remove my mc "ball" when you press the left arrow key. I've tried stuff like Code: if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){ ball._x -= 1; } Some reason gives me like, "needs clip events"
I'm trying to do a photo gallery for a website with scrolling arrows. I found a bit of AS that's perfect for what I want to do only problem is, it's in AS1 and i'm working in AS2 so i was wondering if someone could convert the code to AS2 for me or direct me to a tutorial that has the same sort of outcome in AS2.
My DateChooser code and its style code is shown below: <mx:DateChooser id="dc" cornerRadius="0" bottom="0" width="100%" allowMultipleSelection="true" allowDisjointSelection="false" styleName="dateChooserGradient" change="fetchDateAgenda(dc.selectedDate)"/>
And the dateChooserGradient: .dateChooserGradient { header-colors: #133c59, #29506c; todayStyleName: myTodayStyleName; headerStyleName: myHeaderStyleName; weekDayStyleName: myWeekDayStyleName; dropShadowEnabled: false; arrowBorderThickness:2; arrowColor: #062338; arrowAlpha: 0.1; } What I actually want for my arrows is a transparent background, with borderthickness to be 2, and the arrows and bordercolor to be #062338. Also if I can make the width and height of the arrow itself a bit bigger then what it is as default.
i'm attempting to make a platform game, i know how to move left and right with the arrow keys, but that's quite boring. i want to move my character based only on the x movement of my mouse. the more i move my mouse in a certain direction, the faster the character moves in that direction. i've been trying to modify the x-speed on my character based on a x value of the mouse, but nothing is working.
preferably, i want a code that keeps my cursor at the center of the screen, while still being able to detect x movements of the mouse. i'd copy paste code from my program, but i'm fairly confident that doing so will serve no purpose. i need a new direction. i have no idea how to do this.
I've attached a file which makes a ball move to the left when pressing the right arrow key.[code]On a Key.RIGHT it goes through a for loop. Shifting the ball 200 times 1 pixel to the left. Every iteration it tests for a hit with coordinates 100/50 (indicated by the red crosshairs). If there's no hit it moves 1 pixel to the left. If there is a hit it stops moving (no ball._x--).Funny thing is: while it eventually finds a hit, it does a final For Loop. Even though it should find a hit during that last loop when the ball is passing the crosshairs, it doesn't and moves the ball a final time 200 times 1 pixel to the left. Ending up with below image.URL...Why doesn't it find a 'hit' for that final For Loop while it's clearly passing it?
I'm building up an image resize gallery, and I want to navigate using the left and right arrow keys on my keyboard. I've been trying to figure this out a while now, but I can't get it working. Here's my code:
i hav a left right moving thumbnail gallery from xml, i need that on the last image image come on focus from the left side so automatically the left button will be disable or opacity goes 0 anything and same thing from right side also.
I have a series of thumbnails that should scroll from left to right & right to left when you roll over the movie clip buttons on either side. IT was working in another flash movie, but I moved it to a different flash file and now it's not working. The hit buttons within the movie clip buttons have this action script:
looking to create an image/mc slider that moves form right to left via user clicks of a left and right button.I would assume I would create an array to hold a series of mc's in (my images) and then tell the left and right buttons CLICK events to move linearly through the array (displaying next in line and previous etc.
I've some components with dynamic heights. They have to be aligned with respect to the bottom of my canvas container, so I cannot set the same y for all components.
I could compute their heights and successively set the y but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do it.
I have an Image called "PanoramaImage" (which is very long in width). I want this image to move from right to left & from left to right automatically.
I am using flash as3. I am loading this image from the same folder where the .fla file exist. my image to move by using Up & Down arrow keys.
The following is the sample code i found on web.
var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.CO MPLETE, completeHandler); loader.load(new URLRequest("panorama.jpg"));

My vision is to have a colored square at the top of the site Im working on which should span across the entire browser window. I have created a square 1280 x 100 pixels in size and imported it to the stage, alignment is set to x=0, y=0 ad alignment. The scene is the same size as the square I 've imported. When I view my Flash creation its displayed 8 pixels from the top left corner of the browser window. The flash file only contains the square and nothing else. take a look at the 3 files I've attached: issue-scrreen1-3.jpg. The first 2 screens are my Flash, properties and library screen shots. The third screen shot is my browser window.
I have a psd that is to be the background of a flash site that i'm working on. I've tried every combination of exporting from photoshop and flash but the end result (in the browser) is always significantly brighter.Does anyone know what the best prossess for keeping the colour of imported raster content accurate in swf while keeping the size moderate?
I have a simple movie of a person - torso, arms, legs, each on a separate layer. I'm adding a walk cycle and use tweens to move the arms and legs. This works fine when I export to an swf. But when I group and try to export to a movieclip, the arms jump way up. This seems like a simple problem of adjusting coordinates, origins, etc. But I'm kind of a newbie, so does someone have a suggestion for me? How do I export to a movieclip and have it playback the same as when exporting to a swf?

I have an issue with links in a text box which are pulled in from a xml file.The problem is that when I have the antialias setting set to Advanced the links will shift their position to the left when you hover over them. If i turn the antialias setting off or to Normal the problem is fixed, but the text doesn't look as nice.
when a moive clip is clicked in my program it's instance is saved in a var _root.dis_one. My code makes the movie clip move when the shift key isn't down according to the arrow keys, and it is supposed to resize the clip if the shift key is down _root.dis_one is storing the proper var, but i am having a trouble with the resizing part. It will rezise a pre-maid movie clip, but it won't resize my dynamic movie clips. is there a certain way to rezise a dynamic MC?
