Code:
public function loop(e:Event) : void
{
if (key.isDown(Keyboard.LEFT))
x -= speed;

I have this code on a frame in the main timeline:
ActionScript Code:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,startSquare);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,addPoint);

When I test it, it seems to ignore most keys, but notices others. I went through the alphabet, and it only responded to dguw&x
Here is my code:

The code for KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN seems to work fine. But, the rest of it returns the error "1119: Access of possibly undefined property Key through a reference with static type Class." How do you call a function for Right, Left, Enter, and Escape Keys?
I want this code to move my map i.e map_mc when the keyboard keys are pressed. When I add it to the map_mc, I see no effect what do u think I am messing with.
Code:
on (keyPress "<Left>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX - 2;
} on (keyPress "<Right>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX + 2;
} on (keyPress "<Up>") {
currentY = this._y;
this._y = currentY - 2;
} on (keyPress "<Down>") {
currentY = this._y;
this._y = currentY + 2; }
Im making a game and trying to find the best keyboard keys. I mean, if u are holding down shift+d+f the final key f doesn't work bec. of keyboard buffer. etc. If someone know what kind of keys are the best match for flash 2 player game post them here please. So when like 6 keys are pressed at one time, the last keys pressed, will still work. And player won't get stuck.
Here's the current status of the game.Current keys. P1: LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN + L as turbo P2: E, D, F, S + SHIFT as turbo u can try the shift+d+f combination to see what i mean. [Code]...

1) My game is playing differently when i am debugging it & when am i testing the movie(ctrl+Enter), the difference is that in testing movie the keyboard keys(i hv called the keyboard event key up & key down ) are not working first time, when player loses the game fiirst time,key start to work properly
2) It is working slowly, when i loaded its compiled swf with another swf but working fine when played individually, i hv specified the different stage.framerate for both swf in their corresponding class.
I am trying to use Javascript to intercept keyboard events, so I can do CMD-W for "close-window" and whatnot, inside a Flash application, so the Browser doesn't get to use them. Well, I am able to listen for ALT, CTRL, and CMD onKeyDown/onKeyPress events, but I am not able to listen to anything else...
Here is the code, in the index.html file from a Flex Project:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.onkeydown = function(event) {applicationKeyboardHandler(event)}
document.onkeypress = function(event) {applicationKeyboardHandler(event)}
function applicationKeyboardHandler(event) {
alert("Key Pressed")
} </script>
I would like to make it so it could listen to any key press, not just alt/ctrl/cmd.

Im having a problem getting responsive keyboard movement. I have a key_up listener which fails to trigger when 3 keys are down. E.g. Imagine up and right keys are being pressed to move up + right. The user wants to change to moving up + left. The user presses the left key before lifting thg right key. I have a key_up listener to detect when a key is no longer being pressed. However in this scenario it fails to trigger when 3 keys are pressed. Even in this online example, there is the same problem, look how unresponsive it is when chaging from up right to up left really quickly. [URL]

I have a simple flash project with a TV and a remote control. right now there are arrow buttons on the remote control that i have setup so that when you click on the button it goes to another frame. now my client wants it also setup so that when they hit the arrow buttons (up, down, etc) that it goes to a certain frame.

Here's my situation, I'm making a stick fighting game, where this stick figure fights others. I have the basic moves done inside a mc. I just tried to use Kirupa's tutorial on how to animate that bug with the keyboard arrow keys, but it didn't work. It moved the whole screen. All I want to do, is when you press the left or right arrow keys, the movements (the mc's name) move to the left/right. I attached the .fla. The basic controls are the left arrow animates it left, the right animates it right, and the enter key makes him punch.
View 1 RepliesI'm completely new to AS3/Flash programming, though I program in C/C++/C# in my job. These days I got a project idea which I think Flash would better fit than the other languages I mentioned above. I want to create an on-line automation application that can:
1. Control user mouse clicks, or eventually keyboard, pressing some keys;
2. Communicate/connect to the user's bluetooth device, establishing connections to the mobile devices attached to it - the web application in this case would act as a server.

Doing flash interface project with only the 4 arrow keyboard keys and the "a" key as the activater! No mouse allowed!!I have created movie clips which have a roll over affect created by an array but i now want to make these movie clips into button which can be selected using the arrow keys and the "a" button. Which then takes the user to the desired page. Really dont want to change them from movie clips format .
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a fairly simple interface where the user can theoretically move up and down four vertical menu buttons with the cursor keys, selecting the option they prefer with the enter key. Obviously this requires focusing on a different button every time they move up or down, but I'm damned if I can figure out how to do this
View 1 RepliesI have a MC that can be moved around with the arrow keys. When a person presses the left key I want the object to face left and perform an animation for as long as the left key is pressed. When the left key is released I want the animation to go back to it's starting frame but the MC should still be facing left. I want the same thing for the other arrow keys, but the animations will be different for each direction (for example: walk right, walk left, walk away from you, walk towards you).

View 0 RepliesI am looking at this file:[URL].. I have tried adding a simple rectangle as a background colour but for some reason the dashed line doesnt show up..
I tried adding the rectangle as a graphic and using attachmovie with a depth of 0 but it still doesnt work. It seems the rectangle is covering up the line as when I make the rectangle 50% opaque you can see the line underneath.
How do I add a background but still see the dashed line??
combine the following from Senoculars classes:
Transform.as - transform handles to rotate an mc
DashedLine.as - to draw a dashed line
ProgressiveDrawing.as - to move an mc from a - b
(Links at bottom)
I am basically trying to drag a mc onto stage. Rotate it using rotation handles, move it to another position and rotate it again. Then press play to watch it move from a - b, with a dashed line, and rotating from a - b.
Has anyone done this before or know of examples?
Senocular has combined DashedLine and ProgressiveDrawing in this example: [URL] and its been really great but now I am stuck trying to make the mc rotate. I have made my own crappy rotation handles but thought it may be better to use the transform (and convert somehow to as2) and store each rotation.

I have forged senoculars XML Portfolio into a site, one thing I need to add to make me (and my boss) happy is a scroll function to the thumbs at the bottom. I have everything working super cool except for the scroll, my boss is starting to get antsy in the pantsy..I am not awesome at AS, But know enough to implement any suggestions you might have.the effect i am trying to get is similar to the XML gallery with thumbs mousover effect, accept with a little bit o' easing.The XML is set up differently, so I don't know if I can gut the one and implement it in the other...

I've got a form that the user enters numeric values in to a series of text Input fields. I want to allow the user to use the arrow keys in addition to the tab keys to control the active focus of the fields.

Any way to change a keyboard listener I have set up, so that instead of reacting instantly when it hears a key_UP event, it waits to see if there's another KEY_UP within, say 50ms?
View 1 Replieswhether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?
