View 3 RepliesHow do you press a key (like "L") and go to the next frame?
Which event must I pick?
I assume it's something like: stage.addEventListener(Keyboard., but after that I don't know what to do.
This is for AS 3.0 by the way.
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'm working in Flash CS4 and I would try to do it in AS3 but my teacher isn't very familiar with it, so I've decided to do it AS2. But so far he hasn't been able to, that is why I AM DESPERATELY coming to you.

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].........

just wondering is there anyway to have a function that checks if you pressed and held at any point while running the app? Im assuming that you could use the code below. But just not sure how to just target the mouse press function at all times, almost like a keydown function but just for a mouse click.
Code:
_root.onenterFrame = function(){
on(press){ //No clue

I have this prototype function:
[AS]

if (timeline._x<=howFarRight) {

Which works great except that it scrolls the whole thing all at once. Is it possible to put some kind of increment in there so that on a key press it only moves a certain amount of pixels?
why there is a gap of 5secs (ish) between my swf opening and my preloader starting (at like 90% complete)?My first frame contains 228kb of info, could that be it? If it is, I cant see what it is to cause this.

View 5 RepliesI don't have much experience with buttons and barely any with action script. I am trying to make a button that is a non-animated symbol on up, a glowing version of the symbol on over, and on down the symbol swaps to an animated symbol that moves across the screen.
But, on the down state, the symbol does not animate like it is supposed to. When I hold the mouse button down, the glow goes away, but the symbol just does not animate as specified in the symbol that appears during the down state.
I tried experimenting with making the button move on the main timeline, adding a stop() command in one of the layers of the up-state symbol, and then adding a play() command to one of the layers of the down state symbol, but nothing seems to work.[code]...
