ActionScript 3.0 :: Make A Button's Overstate Trigger From Keyboard Detection?
Feb 14, 2009
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, checkKeys)
function checkKeys(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if(event.keyCode == 48) {
[Code]....
When I press the '0' key it makes the movie play. When I click the actual button it also makes the movie play. But how do I make it so that when I type '0' the overstate of the button becomes activated? In this way keyboard detection and mouse_down would work together.

I created a button that has a movieclip in the rollover state. When you rollover the mouse, the movieclip will animate to appear as if the button will scale from a small to a large button even though it is the movieclip that is playing and not the button itself. But I also want to add a keyboard code to play the rollover instead of the mouse. I learned to write actionscript to play different scenes with the code below, but I'm not sure if I can play a button rollover with the same code.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, key_pressed);
function key_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.charCode==49) {
gotoAndPlay(1,"scene");
}

I have programmatically created a simple button with a text field on top in a separate class extending a movie clip. The problem I am having is that the overState does not seem to be working and I don't know why. I have even tried removing the text field in hopes that would work, but it does not. The GameIntroduction class is called by another class which is the main class.
Here is my code for the class that calls the buttons:
ActionScript Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
public class GameIntroduction extends MovieClip {
private var introText:String = "";

I am using the Button component (the one shipped with CS3) inmany places in my AS3 project. I am coding in .as files, not on thetimeline.I have skinned the Button to use the colors I like. Now Iwish to "skin" it so that all instances generate a rollOver sound,and I'll be darned if I can figure out how.I know I can listen for ROLL_OVER events in each Buttoninstance. But I have many many Buttons and it seems kludgy to addthat same code to every class I have which tracks a Button. I amhoping there is some way I can make *all* instances of Buttonrespond to rollOver the same way. I am hoping it is likesetComponentStyle or changing the skin for the Button; I can do itin one place and it works everywhere.I guess I can listen on the Stage level for bubble-ups ofROLL_OVER, trap those that come from Button instances, and handleit from there, but stagewide listeners also seem a tad kludgy

//17 ctrl,z 90
//17 ctrl,y 89

how do i make a button trigger a movie clip that targets specific coords? I'm building a map and when a button is click it goes to a defined point. right now it jumps to the coords, but i'd much rather it smoothly move instead. the other thing is that i would like it to move from whatever point it is currently at.

I've got a game that accepts and responds to keyboard input just fine if I run the .swf file in Flash Player. However, when I open a Firefox browser and click Open file... for this .swf file, everything except keyboard input works (collision detection, AI, animation, etc.).

I build a game that is working great on its own.Using keyboard events enter frame.When i load it in another movie, i cant trigger functions that are mapped on keyboard events.The listener is executed, but doesnt listen.On its own fine, loaded into another movie: no keyb events and from time to time enter frame event errors.I can access the keybard functions AFTER clickin on the movieclip that contains my loaded swf.

After about a week of arduous debugging and restructuring I've finally got my game engine to compile and run without any errors or wierd output. However, my control code, which I've moved almost untouched into it's own class, is failing to function due to events not triggering. It can be found at the bottom of this post, but I had to delete the contents of a few functions to make it fit in the char limit. The functions that are empty, aren't like that in the actual code, they didn't seem relevant to the problem.The important part to note in it is my block of addEventListener lines, flanked on either side by a trace message. Both of those traces fire successfully, so that would seem to indicate that the event listeners are being added fine.
The problem is that no events fire. At all. None of them. Keyboard and mouse input does not trigger the appropriate functions, I've tried traces just inside each of them, and they are never triggered.ctually, one event does fire correctly. The one that runs every frame. That goes perfectly, but the others do not.Is there any obvious flaw in my code that could cause it? Other than this, the entire application runs perfectly, without a single compile error and nothing in the output box except my traces.
Code:
package {
import flash.events.*;

It may be a lack of imagination on my part, but I can't imagine any situation where I would program a Button and not want the hitTestState to be the same as the overState. Why are these separate categories?

I've created some animated buttons (using movieclips of keyframe animation) and when the mouse goes over the button it starts a new animation sequence.now I would like to add some text when the mouse goes over the button but I tried adding the text I want to a new layer of the animation but obviously this just plays for the duration of the animation sequence or if I add another keyframe so it only shows for a short time then it will flash up each time the sequence loops around (I don't want the overstate sequence just to play once - I want it to keep going while the mouse is over the button)

What I want to do is have a left arrow MC on the left side of the stage and right arrow MC on the right side of stage. When the mouse is over the left 1/3 of the stage, the left arrow appears, on the right 1/3 of the stage, the right arrow appears, but the middle 1/3 the arrows fade out.
I do NOT want to make large invisible MCs and detect the mouse movement that way. I just want it to be relative to the mouse position on the stage. I thought it would be very easy, but the eventListener fires everytime the mouse moves, so the left and right arrow MC animation is constantly being triggered, and they look like they are "shaking" for a lack of a better word.

I'm trying to trigger this page turn event without having to click the page. I want it to go based on a timer event, where lets say after 30 seconds it turns the page. Unfortunately this is all in AS2, so I'm having trouble figuring out the correct way to go about doing this. function is called startFlip, and I need it to be enabled at 30 seconds instead of an on press function from the page button I originally had.

How do you trigger the actions associated with a button
take for example a button called "buttonGo" that you have specific code in. When you click button b you also want buttonGo to execute its code.
