ActionScript 3.0 :: Controlling Keystroke Combos For ELearning Lesson
Mar 4, 2011
I've only had several Flash and AS classes so my knowledge on them is pretty limited.The eLearning I created in Adobe Captivate 5 is launched by my employer's LMS in Internet Explorer. As I'm sure you're aware, IE maintanes focus on certain keystrokes. The eLearning covers our proprietary software where a user must use certain combos such as Ctrl + L, Ctrl + E and the like.I've been searching for a solution that would allow the user to perform the actual keystroke. One of our IT guys found some code and inserted it into the htm and js files that Captivate generates and it worked in Firefox but not IE and IE is the only browser my employer supports.I am already employing a workaround but it's just not the same as being able to have the user perform the actual keystroke.

I'm newish to Actionscript and need a lesson. Say I have 4 buttons and on release of any of the buttons it will call a function. How do you apply a function to any member of an array?
I've placed "any_btn" into my code below to show what I mean

I'm working on a game where movement is controlled with WASD, and other commands are controlled with YUIOHJKLNM<>. The problem I'm encountering occurs when pressing down certain combinations of three keys. For example, when I'm holding down J and M, the ASD keys won't work; only W will. The same applies to J and N, and K and <; W is the only key of the movement commands that will work.
There is nothing in my programming that I can see or find that is causing this error; I've performed several tests and managed to pretty much isolate the problem being something to do with the keycodes. Does actionscript 2.0 have some inherent issues with certain 3-key combinations being pressed?

Trying to check for keypress combos and setting properties true accordingly, the trouble is I'm not being able to set the properties false to the corresponding keyreleases.
Code:
// X3msnake v1.1.060510
// Controller checks for keypresses translates it to property states, sets up and gets keys.

We are designing a Flash-based language course, and I am not sure which architecture we have to choose. The content won't be uploaded to the Internet, it will be used only locally.Possible architectures:1) A single SWF with all the data stored internally - it seems a rather clumsy and inefficient way (or it's not?).2) To make a Flash-based interface, and to keep the data saved in a MySQL database. It presumably allows to organize the content better, avoiding self-repetitions. The problem is that the language teacher (who is not an IT specialist) will have to install additional software to handle MySQL.

I want to create an elearning module in AS3/CS4 which will be scorm compliant ( using pipwerks) and easy to maintainFrom reading up on elearning you can specify navigation, sequence and flash content in OR- in flash using code I was going to use flash XML to load all the swf movies for each screen and to specify the navigation - is this the best way?Does having to do all the work in XML increase the maintenance amd what tool do you give designers to do this - Dreamweaver

I've created a class based eLearning app that's based around flash engine which draws in XML and generates all the non tracked and tracked pages dynamically from the external content (it's multilingual and class template driven)I now have to make it 'Scorm compliant'
That is where i'm coming unstuck. I've only ever seen scorm apps as a physical file per tracked 'page / SCO'Where as I have literally a single swf and external xml, images, videos etc that are being drawn in at runtime.Is there a way of setting up the manifest so that it can target the one active/engine swf file but I can send complete/score/inprogress etc data back for each 'page' that has been completed. I'm tracking all the completion, time and score data etc internally to the flash app but haven't the first clue how to pass it out to Scorm so that data is recorded for each tracked page in each tracked module.

I had to build a simple calculator, but now they want a button that will print out the results. This is going to be used on a webpage, so I would like to do is have the "Print" button trigger the Control+P keystroke when it is clicked. That way the Print dialogue will pop up for the user.

I have a line on a client who wants someone to create an animation that "starts with a keystroke". Info is a bit fuzzy right now, but I'm pretty sure that what he means to say is that he wants there to be an initial frame or scene and then for it to proceed, he just hits "ENTER" or whatever.

I tried to create some, such as "Drag and Drop" or "True and False." However, the instructions weren't adequate. I couldn't figure out what Adobe was telling me to do. I went online to Adobe, and tried to find tutorials.It seems, to me, that there Quiz Learning Interactions are included only in the version of Flash CS5 that comes with the e-Learning suite.

produce some very simple checkboxes to insert into an elearning program.The Checkboxes he created before he left are apparently overly complex and refer to _root and/or _level0, which is a no-no for the elearning software.I've done some web searches to see what I can find but honestly I haven't felt this stumped since first year calculus.

I have a virtual keyboard on screen, with SimpleButtons for each of the keyboard keys. In addition to using the on-screen keyboard, I want to allow for physical keyboard input as well.
Everything works, but I am looking for a way to trigger the rollover/down/up animation of the SimpleButton if the user uses the keyboard. Is this possible? I'm already capturing the keystroke info and matching it against the SimpleButton, but I don't know how to get the button to play.

i'm a newbie using Flash CS4 and AS3. A retired social worker, I need to create a basic Flash drawing tool for an eLearning project to teach students how to draw their family tree.
The drawing tool would allow the students to add multiple circles and squares to symbolize their family members, plus text labels for names, ages, and they would need to be able to draw connecting lines between the circle and square symbols. Finally, in order to continue work on the drawing, over time, they would need to be able to save their drawings to be re-opened and edited (add new symbols, erase incorrect ones, etc.). Once the drawing is completed, they would need to be able to print a copy.
Being a newbie (but I have done some related scripting: JavaScripting-ECMA-262, HTML, CSS), I am not sure if this can be done in AS3, Flash CS4. But, if it is possible, I would like to learn how to create this.

I am working on a program to draw something using dimensions input by the user. As the user changes these dimensions, the drawing changes to match. The problem I am facing is that it currently requires 15 textInputs to draw the image. I have them set up so that you can tab through them to enter the information quickly, then all of the drawing is done through ActionScript in the Submit button below the entry. However, when I enter 15 lines of information my instinct automatically presses enter to complete the process, every time. Now for my question. Is there a way to make a keystroke equal a button press? Or do I have to copy all 500 lines of code into a keystroke listener?

I have several input text fields that should take Hex input. I want to limit keyboard input to a-f, A-F, 0-9, left/right arrows, and backspace. I can determine which key was pressed easy enough; I just don't know how to cancel an unwanted keystroke. This seems like it should be very simple, however, I have not been able to find an answer.

I'm trying to make it so that when a user inputs the correct word an event happens. It almost works except that the event doesn't fire until the NEXT keystroke. Is there a way to test for the word AFTER the keystroke has become part of WriteInOneText.text, without adding a separate button or anything? Here's the code:

I have 4 buttons in a mc (go to frames and then call up individual swfs (one, two etc)) and play within mc eg.
[Code]...
A person can start any swf by clicking a button and then change the swf by clicking another button.
Is there a way to check if a .swf is running and only work when none are running?

I have a site I am working on which has a Flash intro. The other pages of the site hold a menu that's created in Flash. For some reason my client wants the ability to go back and view the intro again, which is easily accomplished with navigateToURL. HOWEVER the intro is broken into two distinct parts and I need to target the second part, which would require something along the lines of gotoAndPlay(500); or something to that effect.
What I am having problems with is how do I target a specific frame in a completely different movie, the intro, using a button from the Flash menu within the site. I'll try to explain it a bit easier. The top button on staticMenu.swf, which is placed throughout the site (aboutus.aspx, portfolio.aspx, etc...) needs to target frame 500 of mainIntro.swf which is embedded in default.aspx.

I'm mostly a point-and-click user of flash. I'm in CS5 and have built a simple flash website (with A/S1-2) having a primary swf (content.swf) and other transparent swf (home.swf, contact.swf, etc.) that load in for each menu button. When another menu button is clicked, my A/S instructs to unload all mc's from level 1 and load in the next swf in that same level.My challenge. I need to have a button in "home.swf" go to, say, "contact.swf". How can this be done?

I have to control one swf file with anoter. The situation is as it follows: there are two swf files in my HTML page. One of them contains a movie clip, and the other - buttons, which must control the first one - for example play this movie clip, go to a frame in this movie clip and so on. Is this possible? Maybe there is a way to connect both swf files with AS and after that use the inner instance names.

I've got two Movie Clips "MC1" & "MC2" on my main timeline with buttons that give them life so if i click on "MC1" then it plays the open and stops on the "up" frame the next frame in the movie is the "out" which plays the Movie Clip out. but when "MC1" is up and you click on "MC2" i want "MC1" to play the out frame. I'm guessing at this but is this anywhere close?his is the code attached to the button inside of "MC2"
Code:
on (release) {
if ( _root.MC1 = ("up"))

I have a external .flv movie, that loads as a full screen background movie on the main stage. Using the Netstream class and the instance name of 'netStream' I just want to be able to pause/play this movie when the user click on a button. The button is inside a movieclip.
I thought something like this:
on (press) {
netStream.pause("http://www.website.com/background.flv");
}
