ActionScript 3.0 :: Double Check The "keyboard Movement" On This SWF?
Mar 12, 2010
I have already stumbled across two games (I mean... um... work related Flash stuff, yes boss, I'm working) which get "choppy" when you hold down the key to move (though it should apply to all keys)You know when you are typing in word, if you hold down one key, first you get one letter printed, and a second later it writes that letter really fast multiple times until you release? I believe that is what is happening that makes those games choppy. This is likely because the "KEY_DOWN" event gets dispatched very many times for the same reasons.
Now, either both those games were crappy enough so they forgot to test for this issue, or it's a Linux specific issue. I need you (yes you) to double check (stating your operating system and browser) if you get the same results.If you hold down the key to go left, (or right, doesn't matter) first you go left smoothly, and then after a second it starts "chopping" and resetting the movieclip's frame to the first walk frame.

on the stage, ther's a box. you can move the box with the left and up key.i have 3 problems:
1. the movement isnt smooth, can i make the movement smooth without modyfing the speed?
2. i want that when you press the left and up key simulteanously the box will move diagonaly.
3.when you press and hold a key, the box just moves a little and after 1 second (or something like this) the box starts to move continously. can I make the box to move continously immediatly after you are pressing a key.

I am working on a game right now and have a problem: I want to move the "character" with the left and right keyboard buttons Here is the AS I found on the tutorial:
[AS]on (keyPress "<Left>") {
currentX = this._x;
this._x = currentX - 2;
_root.man._rotation = ;
[Code] .....
The problem is i dont wanna rotate the pic. I just wanna flip it horizontaly whenever i press the left or right button. Is there a way to do that?

[URL] tutorial here was something I ran across while trying to learn how to move an MC using the keyboard. However, I'm looking to do a motion that is a bit more complicated than that - and I'm somewhat stumped. (Yup, Im new to actionscripting) I'd like to be able to move the MC 100 pixels (and that part I've figured out), but I need the motion to be smooth - with inertia. I searched and searched, and this is a link I found that looked useful in demonstrating the effect:[URL] Click the 4th example - 'Inertia, Single plane of movement'
Now, instead of having the _xmouse determine the position, I want to hit the 'forward/backward' keys on the keyboard, and make it hop smoothly forward or backward a 100 pixels. Im just confused where to add what, and I am continuing to work on it. This is being programmed in Flash MX 2004.

I am working on a game project and i have a question about movie clip movement using keyboard event. Basically I have a character on screen and it can move on the x axis using the left and right buttons. I am making my character move by changing the x value of the character movieclip but I find very it laggy and not smooth and if I am going point by point then it's too slow. Whats the best way to make the character move so that the transition will be smooth.

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 word; let's say it is "GAME". How can I check if I pressed the "G" on my keyboard?
I just can't seem to figger it out.
PS. If I want to show text on the screen, do I really have to make a new textField, or can I use something like 'echo' in PHP?

Is it possible to check for pressed keys without using the KeyboardEvent?
I have an ENTER_FRAME event setup called enterFrameHandler and I want to check within the function enterFrameHandler if any keys are pressed.
normally when using a KeyboardEvent I could check for keys easily using a switch that checks the KeyCode of the event, but in an ENTER_FRAME event this isn't possible for me.
Is there any other way of checking the keyboard's state within the ENTER_FRAME event?
UPDATE:
I found this AS2 script:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
_x -= power;
[Code]....
This seems to be doing what I want, but it's in AS2, does anyone know how to 'translate' this into AS3?

I would like to know how to perform a check on the direction of the movement of the mouse on stage like let us say considering the stage.height/2 as the center if the mouse moves up it should trace up and down if it moves down... I did it by storing all the _ymouse coordinates in temp array and chking if temp[i]>temp[i-1] but it doesn't work satisfactorily. i am posting the script i made...i do admit i am very bad in calculations so correct me if i went wrong somewhere

I was reading senocular's tutorial on panning camera, forward, backward and sidestep movements and I was wondering if it would be possible to have a "pre-recorded" movement rather than using the keyboard.
Something like a camera moving around on a fixed path. I was able to do something with a lot of if statements using the cameraView.z but it gets really messy and doesn't so look so good.

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.

I have a mc (fStrip) which looks like a piece of filmstrip with thumbnail images in it. I want this mc to move when the users mouse is positioned over it, but I only want it to move only along it's x-axis and in a direction opposite that of the mouse. And I want it to move or flow smoothly.
I've been trying to figure this out (see my lame attempt below) but without much luck.
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
buffer=20 //movement buffer
mousePos=_root.fStrip._xmouse //store mouse position
if (mymouse!=_root.fStrip._xmouse){ //if the mouse has moved

I wish to get the effect of ants scuttering across the screen or up a tree, I have not decided which direction yet. I started with the tutorial code for the snow effect from kirupa, and changed it around to fit the little vector ant I created. The way I have it now looks pretty good, but the movement is a little too fluid. They obviously move in sinusoidal paths bc the code tells them to. I have about 20 copies of the main obj, and they're all a little different in size and specs (speed, transparency, etc) but what I was wondering was if there is any way I can change the code to make it a little more hectic, or erratic, not so fluid. If there is no way of doing so, it looks pretty good right now. If there is, however, I think it could look awesome. here's the code I'm using for the object.
onClipEvent (load) {
//stage
movieWidth = 850;
movieHeight = 50;

I've got a bug in my code, where a button has to be double clicked to work.Just wondering what is the standard distinction for the difference between single and double click.
my code
ActionScript Code:
ns.seek(0);
subtitles._visible = true;[code].....
the idea is that it runs a function only when the above button is pressed, but it doesn't seem to work the first time you press the button ?

I have a Mogli (Junglebook-like) Character that i got to move with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
I want the character to jump (so for example , he must while moving to the right of the "gamearea" , you must be able to hit a key (say for example the "control" key ) and then the character must jump ( go up ) and as soon as the key is released he must obviously come down.
And also how do one set movement speed on any particular movement.

See [URL] Now there is a button called Answera, which when clicked should have a symbol (movie clip) called Check appear at the cordinated specified. Check exists in the libary (but does not have an instance name) and no where else on the stage. when I run this code I get: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method Check. -> var rightCheck = new Check(); How is it undefinded if it exists in the libary?

The following is my codes. This is still work in progress; so, you will see some functions with empty contents. Plus, this is my first Flex application; please bear with me. This is a quiz application that gets the questions and answers to each questions from a ColdFusion web service. There are three types of questions, True or False, Multiple Choice with single selection, and Multiple Choice with multiple selections. So, based upon the question type, the application would dynamically generate the appropriate amount of radio buttons or check boxes for the users to select. I got these working. The problem that I am having is, I am not sure how to check what the users have actually selected. In some other forums and posts on other web site, it said that I can use event.currentTarget.selectedValue to get the user selection. But when I actually do it, I got a run-time error saying, "Property selectedValue not found on mx.controls.FormItem and there is no default value." My question is, what do I need to do to capture the user selections?
