ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent : Event Doesn't Function Unless Click On Stage
Jan 2, 2010
I'm trying to wrapup a slideshow for a client and the client asked for keyboardEvents in addition to buttonEvents. So I went ahead and added a stage.addEventListener and it works but only if you click on the stage first. In Flash CS4 itself when you test a movie, the problem doesn't happen but when you test it in a browser, the problem exists. Go to [URL] and see what I mean. Try the keyboard left and right arrows first. Then click on the stage and try again. How can I make it get focus on the stage on startup?

I'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.

when was working on a keyboard handler class.Look at this video: http:[url]....I you press a key and unpress it, while other key is being pressed, you'll cancelate the KeyboardEvent .KEY_DOWN event...It seems the umpressed key fires KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP but the current pressed key doesn't register the new KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event, or KeyboardEvent handles both keys as one...

In my class i've got something like this:
[Code]...
So Every time when I click left mouse button, the setClickedTrue function should be triggered. And that's what happen normally. But when I make a fast move with a mouse, and in the meantime i click left mouse button, or i make a fast move and finishing i will click left mouse button, the function is not triggering. Something like MouseEvent can't hear this Event. I'm making an avoid game, and it's very important. I'm using Timer class with delay = 30; I'm also have got 30FPS on Flash Proporties.

The situation: - some radio buttons on the stage (design time, flash GUI) - A quiz class What I want: - create a RadioButtonsGroup in the quiz class (not with the flash GUI) - assign all the radios to that group (radio.group = myGroup) - respond to the CHANGE event It seems not to work. The group gets created (all the radios of that group are indipendent from the others on the stage), but it doesn't respond to the event.

Here is my scenario
1: I am using custom hand cursor in my application
2: When the mouse leaves the stage I am making my hand cursor invisible
3: Further I am using PV3D for animating plane.When the mouse moves in the stage the camera rotation is changed
4: When mouse moves out of the stage.the camera rotationY is set to zero
Problem:I am using
ActionScript Code:
stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE,hideMouse);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,moveMouse);[code]....
There are other animation added to this function also.So the function works well but sometimes when I move the mouse out of the window from middle of stage to its out,the function doesn't work.Meaning it works for some fraction of time and then hand cursor is shown and camera rotation is not set to zero.Is there any trick that must be done to force Event.MOUSE_LEAVE work properly.

i created a game with 2 frames:1 is the welcome screen + player name input text box.the other is the game itself.at first the game didn't have the welcome screen, and if i wanted to play (with the arrows keys) there was no problem to press one of the arrows and make the player move..since i added the first frame, in order to play i must click somewhere on the stage and only then i can press the arrows keys.. before clicking nothins happens! it happens only if i have more than 1 frame..it is important to mention that it happens in the flash player ( i didn't check what happens in web browsers..)

I´m making a game.This game has 4 frames.It has a preloader.swf and game.swf.The preloader.swf loads the game.swf.The game.swf has 4 frames.In the first frame is given to the user the options to play the game (clicking a button "playGame" on "click" event) and to set the sounds settings (clicking a button "options" on "click" event).So far so good.
When the user clicks "playGame" I send the user to frame 2, where it has the option to select a game level using the arrow keys. So within the playGameListener I registered two keyboard events one for KEY_UP and another for KEY_DOWN. So, to have sure that it´s working, I added a trace for each keyboard event listener. But I´m not getting any message in the output window while pressing
left arrow or right arrow or any arrow.
So I learned that KeyboardEvent only dispatches an event if the flash player has focus.Well I think the flash player has never losed focus in this process.I´ve registered two events for Event.ACTIVATE and Event.DEACTIVATE and inside its listeners I added a trace with a message. Flash outputs me a message if I minimize the flash player window or if I maximize the flash player,but not while the game.swf´s frame transition.The listeners for the KeyboardEvent works only when I press at the flash player, then I receive the messages from the KeyboardEvent listeners.

The keyBoard event listeners call on the rotate and unrotate functions and based on the key inputs(A and D) will implement either of the functions and rotate the image or return it to the original upright position. However, I haven't been able to get the function to work. When I press the A or D keys on the keyboard nothing happens. I even put trace() in one of the functions to see if the function will even be implemented but I don't get anything. I put in my Scripts below. Why are the functions not working? Do the eventlisteners fire or are there conflicts? I'm not getting any error messages.
ti.border = true
ti.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, onInput);
function onInput(event:TextEvent):void {
if(ti.text.search('a')!=-1) load_image("http://i54.tinypic.com/anom5d.png", "ottefct");

I want to program something that does this but I have no idea how to get started or whether it is possible.
1. Using the loader class I will load several images to the stage and set their x / y coordinates accordingly so that they don't overlap.
2. A random x, y coordinate is generated within the document class.
3. If there are any loaders that exist at that location it will be deleted.
If the x, y coordinate was to be generated by a click to the stage, I could do it like this.
Code:
// detect for clicks at the stage level
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, dosomething);
public function dosomething(e:Event) : void
[Code]....
But I want to be able to send a simulated click instead at a certain x y coordinate, and then use the .target to operate on the object that it refers to. Is this possible?

I currently have an AS3 fla with a couple of mouseEvent functions but now the client wants to add a KeyboardEvent as well to the same exact functions. Can I add another eventListener to that without having to create a second function? It would be a huge waste of code if I did. Here's what I currently have in truncated form:
rightArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide_right);
leftArrow.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, slide_left);
function slide_right(e:MouseEvent):void {

In order to make login using Enter button, I tried adding:

But of course it won't works because loginCheck is a MouseEvent function.

i am not an action script developer nor flash designer, i just want to have a small action script sample that i will edit a little to make it interact with my javascript code. By the way, i want to have a button and a label on a flash form, when the user clicks on this button the onclick event will call another function 'setText for example' this setText() function will change the label text. So i think the code will be something like this:
[Code]....
I managed to put the button and the label i want just the code i will write to make this work.

The problem is: when the game starts, "SPACE BAR" is working fine and changes the game from day to night. When the game ends and I press restart, the SPACE key is not working. On the third time it works, on the fourth not and it follows that way. Every second time that I play the game, the SPACE key doesn't work.
The game initializes the player and sends him as a parameter a stage object and the player listens for KEY_UP.When I press restart, the game runs the init() function again.Below there are the Game.as and Player.as classes.
Code:
package
{
import com.greensock.TweenLite;[code].....
