ActionScript 3.0 :: Detecting Half My Keyboard?

Mar 2, 2009

I was working on some simple keyboard movement for an AS3 game, but running into trouble. Some keys would work, some won't!.I started a new flash just to test the keyboard, and confirmed what I was seeing. Some keys like "D" will work, while others like "A" don't seem to. Here is the code from the keyTest program.

Code:
package
{
import flash.display.*;[code]..

So when I press D or W, this flash outputs "68 down" or "87 up" or whatever as intended. But if I press keys like A or S, it outputs nothing. Wut?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Detecting / Using Keyboard Events - GotoAndStop?

Apr 1, 2009

I'm confused about AS3's key handling. I just want a script that goes "If "R" is pressed, gotoAndStop(#). While in AS2 this was extremely easy, many examples I see now have variables in them. So all I know so far:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN/UP/Whatever I want, nameFunction)
function nameFunction (evt:KeyboardEvent):void {
}
I've seen people with code like if (evt == 82) or something like that, but it doesn't work. C

ActionScript 2.0 :: 2nd Time Movieclip Loads Tweens - Half Fading In / Out And Half Jumping From One Alpha Value To Another

Jun 18, 2006

I have a movieclip with an image fading in and out (using an actionscript tween class set to yoyo). This movieclip is loaded into a dummy movieclip when a button is pressed. The first time you click the button the fading movieclip plays as it should, fading in and out continuously. However, the second or subsequent times the button is clicked the fading movieclip goes crazy, half fading in/out and half jumping from one alpha value to another.

Actionscript 3 :: Detecting Alt KeyDown Keyboard Event In Flex?

Nov 9, 2009

I am trying to detect the key down event for the alt key in flex. I have a standard event listener for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP but don't get any response for the alt key (or ctrl key).

I know I can detect if the alt key was pressed via a mouse event, but I want to update the cursor when the alt key is pressed to show it will perform a different action from when it's not pressed.

I am using Safari on a Mac for developing so let me know if perhaps it's an isolated issue.

ActionScript 1/2 :: Detecting A Simultaneous Mouse Click And Keyboard Imput

Jul 22, 2011

I am making the board game Shogi in actionscript 2 and I have a question on how to detect a particular imput.I have a movie clip on the stage, I want it so that if I hold down the keyboard button "p" and then click on the movie clip, it will go to the movie clip's frame 2 (not the entire flash project's frame 2, just the particular icon's frame 2. I need this because I am using movie clips as game pieces and in Shogi, certain game pieces can be promoted. I also was wondering how to detect what frame it is on.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Buttons Work In Half The Movie... Not The Other Half?

Aug 13, 2009

Building a flash website in CS3. I've made every button the exact same way, draw a rectangle, convert to symbol, type as either button or movie clip (doesn't seem to matter and I'm not using rollover stuff), alpha 0% and stick it on its own layer above everything else.Action scrip is as follows:

main1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
main2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoMain);
function gotoMain(event:MouseEvent):void
{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

that's with 2 buttons for main. I have the exact same code multiple times for many different buttons. It works everywhere except the last two buttons on my page will work the first time you click them from the main page, but then don't work after that until you click on the main page again. Then it works.These two:

babout3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoAboutb1);
bcontact3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);

the function is described on an earlier action keyframe:

bcontact1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoBcontact1);
function gotoBcontact1(event:MouseEvent):void[code]...

Of course I've tried just having one button do this and copy/pasting the button on different areas of the movie, but nothing I've done fixes. I've even gone through and deleted every button and AS and redone it. I've put every button on its own layer (shouldn't matter but I'm trying everything I can think of).if there is an easier way of using AS to navigate a flash movie let me know. The other options I've seen seem a bit too complex at the moment.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Keyboard Events (movie Clip Moves Via Keyboard Control) And Scenes

Nov 7, 2009

I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

IDE :: Set To Evaluate Half A Second Pause?

Aug 6, 2003

Code:// This example is set to evaluate half a second pause (500)

if (Number(getTimer()-lastClick)<500) {
// Add your doubleclick actions here
if (Reaction._visible eq false) {
setProperty ("Reaction", _visible, True);
} else {

[Code]...

This is a double-click detector.. I was just wondering, since I've never seen lastClick, is there such a thing as lastMove? I'm thinking of using onClipEvent (MouseMove) with a x and y detection timer, or could the one above have some hope?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Tweens Jamming Half Way?

May 30, 2009

I have an array of movie clips. One is added to the stage. The user enters a value in a text field. The displayed MC is tweened off the stage and the next MC is placed onto the stage.

for some reason the tweens appear to randomly jam half way. it happens about 1/10 of the time.

My code is probably too long to post but the most relevant bits (I think) are:

ActionScript 3.0 :: A Perfect Half Circle Using Only The Drawing API?

Dec 17, 2008

any techniques they use to draw a perfect half circle?

I've seen the curveTo() method, and I cannot seem to make it come out with anywhere nearly good enough results. It always looks like half of a skewed ellipse.

I don't *want* to use a mask -- since there will be other drawings on this same Sprite that I do not want masked.

To be even more picky -- I don't *want* to create the half circle in another Sprite and add that to my original drawing.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Functions Only Work Half The Time?

Jul 24, 2009

Without getting in to the specifics, I have a .fla file that has several functions that animate movieClips already present on the stage.

When I compile/view the SWF while working on it, the functions only "run" half the time. The other half of the time, Flash never runs the functions, it just pretends the call never happened. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. I have a feeling it may have to do with Flash's garbage collection, but I don't know how that works.

Actionscript 3.0 :: Loading Half An External Swf Before Playing It?

Aug 31, 2009

I'm a semi-beginner with AS, particularly with AS3. I am using a preloader to preload half the main swf before actually loading it. It will be approx. 30mb so I don't want people waiting for all of it to load, I'd rather it preload half, open it, then continue loading the rest. I'm presuming this is possible. If so, I intend to include a progress bar once inside the main swf so that the more it loads, the more menu buttons glow and become active. I've seen this "continuous load" thing done with the Halo Believe ebsite.See heror the Halo website, the developers broke up the swf into five 10mb swf files and stitched them together so they would seamlessly load (much like a streaming video) and the visitor would be none the wiser.

I have no idea how they did it, but I thought it would be simpler to keep mine as one complete 30mb file; preload half and then load half while in the main swf. The main swf is an image sequence similar to the Halo site, and the menu buttons are locatedthroughout the image sequence, so they will be accessible as the main swf continues to load. I'm hoping this makes some sort of sense!I've just switched to AS3. I haven't included a progress bar yet, I'm still trying to get the main swf to load half way first:

Frame 1 of preloader:
Code: Select allstop();
var loadDNA:Loader = new Loader(); //loadDNA is what I've called my loader
