View 1 RepliesFlash :: How To Trap Mouse Cursor In Fle?
May 10, 2011I'm working on an interface control that allows users to navigate a 3d space with their mouse. Currently we are using up/down/left/right arrow buttons, but what I'd really like to switch to is a clickwheel type interface.

The problem I see with this is that the invisible mouse will quickly move out of the movie and stop tracking.Has anybody dealt with this before? I'm sure I saw a flash toy somewhere that trapped the mouse inside a box, but can't find it now. :(
IDE :: Error - Trap If A Sound File Has Been Found Or Not
Jul 17, 2009I need to be able to trap if a sound file has been found or not. At the moment Im using loadSound to load in the file, and onLoad to set the movie running when the sound has been loaded. I have 2 outcomes in the onLoad, one that saves a varaible saying the sound is there and one that says it isnt, if the file cant be found. The probelm is that onLoad doesnt wait to detect that a sound file is defintly there before firing off the failed to load command.
It does this several times while loading in a large mp3 as well. I need to check if the file is there or not as I have a onSoundComplete function that tells the movie to go to the next point when the sound completes. I still need the movie though to push on to the next point even if the file cant be found, which onSoundComplete wont. The outcome variables are my current way of telling the movie to move on if the file cant be found. But with onLoad so quick to jump the gun it reaches the code to move on to the next point before it starts to load the sound. Heres the code im currently using:

May 28, 2009using the authoring tool to test,I find I can only read certain keys via:stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);
But when I test in a browser, I can indeed read all the keys. So the IDE must be intercepting certain keypresses. E.g., I can read w and d but not e.
How can I read all keys? Testing in a browser all the time is a bit inconvenient

However, when I publish the file and starts the projector (or the swf for that matter) one key ('g') isn't doing what it should!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Keys To Move MC?
Oct 8, 2009I'm learning Flash and Actionscript and playing around with some different features. I have an MC of a car and have coded them arrow keys to move it left and right and the up and down keys to adjust the speed. It also flips the MC horizontally based on which direction is pressed. There is a startover button that goes to the beginning of the timeline, and a back and next button.
Everything works except I have to click on the stage to get it to recognize the key presses. Once I click the stage it works fine. If I go forward and come back it won't work until I click the stage again. I THINK it was working correctly last night, but I was playing around with some of the images and code this morning and realized it wasn't working right anymore...or maybe I just didn't realize I was clicking the stage last night.
Here's my script:
Code:
stop();
btnStartOver.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StartOver97);
function StartOver97(event:MouseEvent):void {

IDE :: Disable Up/down Keys In A Combobox?
Jan 6, 2010I'm building a simple app where an image displayed changes based on which image is selected in the combobox. Pick a different image in the combobox, the old one transitions out, the new one transitions in. Easy, right? So while the transition is taking place, even though I disable the combobox (.enabled = false, and I remove the Event.CHANGE listener for the combobox, I can still scroll through the combobox's options with the up/down arrow keys. I'd like to lock that ability out temporarily

View 9 RepliesChanging The Value Of A Variable By Pressing Keys?
Jun 18, 2010There is probably a better way to do what I'm trying to do, but I simply want to make a variable change its value when I press the arrows keys. For example if I wanted to cycle through weapons, if weapon=0 then the character is holding a certain weapon, then I press the down arrow key and weapon=1 and if weapon=1 the character is holding another weapon. And if I press up weapon=0 again so he's holding the first weapon again. And say there's 8 weapons, if weapon>8 then weapon=0 again so its a cycle. I tried arrow key functions and all they worked for was making a symbol move. I think I knew how to do this stuff in gamemker pretty well but Flash is very different.

Navigation With Keys And Loading SWFs?
Dec 2, 2009I have been working on a project which has been giving me headaches. I want to be able to navigate through a presentation using the arrow keys - To do everything on the one timeline was going to be too complicated and messy so tried to create separate files but could not get the separate files loading -.My next problem is incorporating the two approaches - here is my code from my test files with my attempt added:
stop();
// create an array to hold the names of the frame labels
var labels:Array = new Array();
// take the name of each label in a MovieClip and put each
[code]....
I can either get the arrow key navigation to work or the previous movie to load but the left arrow key then doesn't navigate back. Although in saying this version doesn't work and I can't get it load again.
