I've made an AS3 AIR proggie that works with PHP to look at a specific online directory of mp3s, get it's listing, and download to my local machine. It works fine, except when a song name has '&' in it. I'm not sure how to escape ampersands, or where the escape needs to happen - PHP or AS3? Here's the relevant AS3:

I used the fscommand("fullscreen",true) in my application to make it fullscreen. However when the user presses the Escape key, the window goes into the normal view. Is there any way of disabling the Escape key to make my movie in fullscreen all the time? and the only way to quit the movie is my clicking the label I created 'Exit' with the AS command fscommand("quit");

View 3 Repliesi have a nice piece of code to set the fullscreen with dynamic text formatting (below)
what i am trying to do is add in a key event listener for the escape key, so that if the user hits esc instead of the button, it will also reset the button's 'normal view' settings
i have tried to do a test in a separate fla but even with just a trace on the function, when i hit esc all the swf does is stop (odd!)
Code:
//bu for fullscreen clicks
goFull_bu.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, fullOver);

I am continuing my long switch from AS2 to AS3 finally... and I thought I'd start by making something simple. An "Escape The Room" type game, should be easy right? Just pointing and clicking? I loaded up my file for folks to look at.. I guess my big question is what I did wrong.. I thought i set up the buttons correctly and my Event Listeners.
nail_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, objectFound);
But Flash doesn't like SOMETHING I did, I should be able to click and drag things if I knew what I was doing :P

I am creating a software product demonstrator. The software uses the Escape key to let users get out of menus - crap I know, but that's the way they do it! My problem is that I want Flash MX to look out for the Escape key being hit within my demonstrator and then go to another frame when it is hit.
View 2 RepliesNow that I have the focus on my DataGrid and I can select a row using the up and down keyboard arrows, I then would like to confirm my row selection by hitting the enter key.But, my keydown listener on the DataGrid doesn't see the enter, escape and delete keys. Most of the other keys are seen. I can browse the list by using the up and down keys (and I can see my function in the keydown listener are called).It only happens when I check my application from the Flash IDE. In debug mode, these keys are taken into account.My DataGrid is not editable but selectable.

I have a flash app that switches to full screen mode, but I cannot get it to leave fullscreen mode with the escape key!
I am using player version 10,0,2,54.
I have also gone to sites where the fullscreen mode is demo'd and I cannot exit out of fullscreen mode with the escape key there as well.
Is this a known bug in player 10?

View 1 RepliesI have an environment where strings are percent encoded by Actionscript escape() function and then passed to Java for decoding.I have for example a test string "m é". It is passed to Actionscript escape() that outputs "m%20%E9" When I try to decode it with Java:
URLDecoder.decode("m%20%E9", "UTF-8")
The result is:
"m ?"
%E9 seems the unicode point for "é" character, but it is not quite understood by Java decode.Is there a way to decode in Java the strings encoded by Actionscript escape()?What escape format do these function use since they seem to be different?
