I'm trying to figure out how to get buttons to be activated by keyboard presses. I have found how to do that with specific keys ... but not with ANY keypress. I'm making a game for tiny children and they can't manipulate the mouse well. So I'm setting up a few things on stage that will run in a certain order when the child presses any key on the keyboard. For example, any key is pressed, dog wags his tail .... any key is pressed again, cat jumps, any key is pressed a third time, cow munches hay, and so on till it goes through a bunch of animal animations, then goes back to the first one. I'm pretty new at this stuff and have been banging my head against google for days trying to find the answer to this out there with no luck! I could do either movieclips or movie clips inside buttons if that makes sense.

View 10 RepliesI'm creating a virtual keyboard for a touchscreen Flex app and i'm trying to simulate a key press by dispatching a KeyboardEvent. I've written a handler function to listen for the event and act accordingly. So far so good but it's starting to get complicated as i have to manage the focused textInputs (easy), the cursor position in those fields (not to so easy), etc.Now, if only there was a way to actually dispatch a KeyboardEvent that Flex would actually interpret as a genuine key press all those issues would be gone.

I have this code to move my player...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyboardPress);
function keyboardPress (key:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (key.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT){
player.x -= 4;
}
}
...however, when the left key is pressed, the player jumps left once, pauses, then continues to move left.
In AS2,
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){player.x -= 4;}
provided for a much smoother movement.So, what is the code equivalent in AS3 of the code from AS2 above? Or, in other words, how do I write a smooth keyboard movement code for AS3?

I've got two different instances of two different MovieClips on the stage of the fla. Visually they're identical but one is facing left and one is facing right. When the file runs, the one that's facing left appears on the stage while the one that's facing right is set to be invisible. What I'm trying to do is have the one that's facing left go invisible when the right arrow is pressed and for the one that's facing right to appear in it's place and accept further input from the right arrow key. When I run the file, the one facing left moves just fine. My problem is that when I press right, the one facing left disappears and the one facing right appears in it's place but it just moves once and stops.

View 14 RepliesI've been trying to figure out how to use Keyboard events, so I tried out an example I saw online, but I ran into a problem. It's supposed to tell me whenever a key is pressed, and it works for keys such as ctrl and shift, but not for letter keys. For example,when testing in Flash ("test movie"), if I press "v", the Flash player doesn't react, but the Flash editor switches to the selection tool (keyboard shortcut "v"). How do I fix this? Here's the code I used:
function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
trace("Key Pressed") ;[code].........
I have a pretty linear slide show presentation.It starts with a navigate function that listens fr keyboard presses(space, right or left arrows) and also a mouse click listener, and these either advance or rewind the show a slide at a time.On about a dozen of the 60 slides, I call an external swf or flv/f4v and i have built in conditions based on frame number, so that I can kill movies and unload swfs before moving on.Make sense?So, i'm wondering, is there a way to code all the exceptions once and have them bind to the mouse listener and the keyboard listener?Or should I just code all the exceptions in the mouse listener function and the keyboard case listener?Or am I totally going the wrong direction?Thinking out loud, I guess i could write 2 different simple functions, one that is straight advance frame -to- frame, and one that is for the "exceptions" frames, that kills a movie or unloads a swf, and set a boolean variable based upon what frame the movie is on.

View 7 RepliesI know how to make a button and all.. but what do I do to make it go to the next scene?
scene 1: Startsidan
scene 2: Sidan
I made a frontpage and when I click on the picture I want it to go to scene 2, where it enters the inside.
the button is called PortalenKnappen, I want to be able to just press on it and it will go to the "sidan(scene 2)" that's empty at the moment.
what would I have to write? I've tried "portalenKnappen.onPress nextScene("sidan", 1"); but it doesn't work.
I'm wondering if there's a way to temporarily disable keyboard shortcuts in Flash? The problem is that some key presses don't register when I'm testing a movie in flash because flash itself registers the key. For example pressing "B" while I'm testing a movie activates the Brush tool but doesn't trigger an event in the actual movie. When I publish the movie and try it in a browser it works fine.
