I am trying to move an object on stage with arrow keys. I am using this code
[CODE]....
The problem is that it do not start to move immediately after I press the key and it takes few moments to move. I have uploaded the swf file here [URL]...oqwnlssewe.swf
can i assign a keyboard eventlistener in a child swf inside of another swf? cause i know if a swf inside of swf still only have one stage. cause the parent swf just like a loader container, i want the child swf to have the keyboard event listener.

I am trying to add an event listener to my BitMap. Tile extends gameProps, which extends BitMap. I try using addEventListener. That doesnt work. but the Adobe docs say that Bitmap has an addEventListener object.

I am trying to remove an eventlisnter on a button so when the button is pressed the animation completes before you can press the button again. But based on my code below you can push the button as many times as you like:
var LeftButt:MovieClip = new left_button();
var RightButt:MovieClip = new right_button();
var topClip:Sprite = new Sprite();

I'm working in pure as3 (no creative suite or xml). I have a sprite. It draws a large rectangle and then a slightly smaller rectangle. I want to change the color of the slightly smaller rectangle when I hover the mouse over it. Right now though it will either not respond (I can plainly have the mouse over the rectangle and nothing happens) or it is slow to respond. In addition the collision area of the rectangle seems a bit off, ie it responds more frequently when I have the mouse on the upper left corner of the rectangle than when I have the mouse elsewhere on it.

When setting wmode to "opaque" (or transparent) my flash app becomes slow on Facebook. I can particularly notice it when moving the mouse around (even on a tiny area of the screen), if I don't move the mouse then the slowdown doesn't seem to happen. Maybe its because its sending all events to facebook too?
View 1 RepliesMy keyboard shortcuts have quit working. I'm not talking custom shortcuts that I have defined. The default Flash shortcuts just don't work anymore.Before anyone asks, yes, I have made sure the "Disable keyboard shortcuts" option is turned off. I'm running Flash CS4 on a Windows XP pro machine.

I am adding a key listener to my AIR application like so:
<mx:WindowedApplication
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
keyDown="onKeyDown(event)">
Yet only sometimes when I press keys does it actually invoke. I have no clue why, I thought maybe something else has focus. Well I cannot add key listeners to NativeWindow or NativeApplication, and I would assume if it is on the WindowedApplication which is the root element, that as long as my application has focus the key presses should invoke the listener.
can't figure out why the keyboard input isn't working. I got this warning, but I always get that warning and it always works. The warning says:Warning: 1090: Migration issue: The onKeyDown event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ( 'keyDown', callback_handler).
View 1 RepliesI have looked at other questions and online but still cant figure out where I am going wrong I am adding 2 events to a externally loaded swf
One works, and one doesnt?!? the function names are correct so I can see what Im missing
my_loadedSwf = loadEvent.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
my_loadedSwf.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, my_loadedSwf.enterFrameHandler);
my_loadedSwf.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, my_loadedSwf.myOnPress);
addChild(my_loadedSwf);
[Code]....
set my_loadedSwf.tabEnabled = true; and it now works great
EDITS TO THE ABOVE Actually, it isnt working, I have to press 'tab' to take control of the player
ANSWER
I removed the tab index code and added focus to the loaded swf
I have a class called OfficeGame, which is working fine, except in that class I instantiate a class called OfficeSchmuck which is the character of my game. The problem being that the character is not responding to my event listeners which tell him to move. Here are the two classes:OfficeGame.as

1) My game is playing differently when i am debugging it & when am i testing the movie(ctrl+Enter), the difference is that in testing movie the keyboard keys(i hv called the keyboard event key up & key down ) are not working first time, when player loses the game fiirst time,key start to work properly
2) It is working slowly, when i loaded its compiled swf with another swf but working fine when played individually, i hv specified the different stage.framerate for both swf in their corresponding class.
When I go to full screen with stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN the keyboard stops working. I cant even type in textboxes (or get any of my keyboard events).
View 4 RepliesI am developing a website completely on Flash, it has an option for Fullscreen as well as keyboard navigation to switch between slides. On windows, when i do fullscreen, everything works fine. On Mac machines, after full-screen the keyboard navigation script stops working. This is the script I am using for keyboard action. Is there any particular script for Macs too ?
on (keyPress "<Right>") {_parent.gotoAndStop(2);}
I have a SWF file that uses Mouse and Keyboard Events. When I test the SWF file in the flash IDE the events work fine. When I run the SWF file stand-alone with the Flash Player, the events work fine as well. But, when I open the SWF in a browser, neither mouse clicks or key presses register. Even if I puslish the SWF as a HTML, it doesn't work either.
View 4 RepliesI am new to actionscript. I was trying to make a slide show frame by frame. I have my main timeline with the following code in first frame.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_changeSlide);
function fl_changeSlide(evt:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (evt.keyCode = 37) // LEFT{
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame-1);
}else if (evt.keyCode == 39 || evt.keyCode == 32){
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+1);
}}
In the third frame I am trying to load an external swf by clicking a button 'rrbutton' and unload the same when the user clicks left arrow.
var loadit = new Loader();
function ack(evt.keyboardEvent):void {
if(evt.keyCode == 37){
loadit.unloadAndStop();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_changeSlide);
[Code] .....
The external swf loads on clicking the button and unloads when left arrow is pressed and the main time line frame appears. But thereafter the keyboard navigation in the main timeline(through function fl_changeSlide) is not working properly.
I use an event listener to detect keyboard activity and it is working fine, but when I add a MovieClip to the stage, the event is no more triggered, I need to click on the stage to get it active.The MovieClip fills all the stage, and I tried to add the same event listener to it, but still I need to click on it to get the event listener active.

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 had a quick question, I have a movieclip with 15 frames in it with an image on each frame, and a stop action on each frame. On my main stage I have 15 different buttons, which when pressed will change the movieclip to that particular frame (so pressing button 3 would make the mc go to frame 3). I'm still rather new to AS3, but I figured the most simple way to do this was a function which was called when the buttons are pressed

I want to add an event listener to a textfield that triggers when the user is "in" the textfield and hits enter. Think like you're at google and youre gonna search for something - you enter the keyword in the textfield and then hit enter, instead of clicking on the search button.
View 4 RepliesI want to have a class(Generator) generating MovieClips and inside these Clips are buttons with Listeners. Another class(Main) can get the Clips generated and add them to the stage. The problem is if I add the Listener to the Button in the Generator class, i don't get the event. I do get the Event if I get the Button from the Generator and add the Listener in the Main class.

Im trying to use the added eventlistener. When a child is loaded i then wish to trigger to a function. But the function seems to be triggering before the graphic is load.I am using this for some press loader functionality before a database is queried.[code]The above if statment works. But inizRequestOfData() seems to be trigged before the loading of anygraphic is done.
