I am trying to perform an action with Ctrl+Click So, when a textfield is clicked, I would like to check to see if the user has the Ctrl key pressed as well, if it isn't pressed ignore the click action otherwise do the action...
View 4 RepliesI have a screen with 6 buttons. Only 2 are to be clicked in order to do something else. How can I do an event after having to click the 2 proper buttons?
View 1 RepliesThe flashplayer catches all keys pressed by the user. I'd like to know if there's a way or workaround to pass them to the browser. For instance, Ctrl-T (open new tab in firefox). I'd like to re-enable this shortcut. Maybe with javascript?
View 1 RepliesLets say i have a button on frame 1. And if you press it normal, you ll get to frame 2. But then if you click it on another way, you ll get to frame 3. How do i do that easy?! With another way i mean like shift click or ctrl click or is it an easier way?
View 3 RepliesI have a simple accessor in my class:
public function get loggedIn():Boolean
{
var loggedIn:Boolean = somePrivateMethodToCheckStatus();
return loggedIn;
}
The API I'm now working with checks login status in an asynchronous fashion:
API_Class.addEventListener(API_Class.LOGIN_STATUS,onStatusCheck);
API_Class.checkLoginStatus();
[Code]....
Is there a way I can perform this asynchronous request without exiting my accessor?
I want to perform an action if a function is being used. If that function is being used then I will use another function, something like:
if(a.add){
a.mult;
}
That's what I want to do, but I don't know how to. The other thing is that when I use if , else if, with a text input as a parameter, I can't view the action of the if statement in a dynamic text field, even though I did write m.text=b, where b=a.suma.
I would like to perform swap symbol action with ActionScript.

I have a movieclip with about 50 other movieclips inside it and I want to set all their visibility to false (I can't do this to the parent because I will need to eventually just show one of the movieclips at a time). Is there any type of method I can use to apply, something like mymc.allchildmcs.visibility = false or mymc.mychildmc[i].visibility = false;
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to add an EventListener to a button and make it execute some action when it is clicked without calling a function?
In other words if I have three different buttons and I want to make an action depending on what button was clicked, something like.
If button 1 is clicked do this, if button 2 is clicked do this, if button 3 do this.
I know a different action can be taken using an eventListener and a function assigned to each button but I'm trying to understand more about AS3.
I need to evaluate long list of variables and I want actionscript to perform an action if my variable fits into certain range.I tried like this
if(_global.something == "var1" || "var2" || "var3" || "var4" || "var5" || "var6")
but it doesnt work, the usage of || needs only 2 variables...
I dont want to write my script like
if(_global.something== "var1"){
samefunction();[code].....
how can I write my script efficiently in this case?
I have a numeric stepper which allows the user to choose as many balls as they want, then they shud press the button and all of those balls should fall down. How can I do this???
View 1 Repliesim trying to make a game that requires you to have the spacebar and the right arrow key pressed to make the character move. However i just cant seem to link the 2 key presses together. when the keys are pressed individually it works and when theyre pressed together it works but i want the character to be inactive until both are down at the same time :/
i've tried everything that i can think of (which is kinda limited) i thought id cracked it with a 'while' statement but when i tested it flash would throw a fit and close heres the code that flash doesnt like, it looks (to me) like it should work but it clearly doesnt :P

I couldn't come up with a good title for this question but basically the problem is this - I've got a series of thumbnails and clicking on a thumbnail loads a larger picture into a holder movieclip on the main stage. However, if you click another thumbnail while the first picture is still loading, then both pictures load and it goes on from there. How can I make my code so that clicking a new thumbnail cancels any actions from previous clicks?

If I wanted to change an action from a button click to a frame-based action, what do I use instead of onPress? The hints from the AS editor are all click-based.
I just want to make a simple button action using actionscript 2 but I can't get it to work! I'm sorry for even asking but I've been at this for too long now for it to not work I'm using Adobe Flash CS4 and I do the following --
File -> New Flash File (ActionScript 2.0)
Insert -> New Symbol
Name - test
Type - button
Export for ActionScript
Identifier - test
And then draw it in using the keyframes and add the code to 'Actions - Button' for my button
Code:
on(release) {
trace("trace");
}
I click on the button and it animates but no action event in the trace?
I've just started looking at adding ctrl-left-click and shift-left-click copying of movieclips to my project (so for example the user can click on a clip, hit ctrl, and a duplicate MC with a new name is created).
I think I can work out a way of doing it, but before I create something that contains unnecessary code, I was wondering if there is a standard way of doing this using as3 and AIR?
I have a Flash movie which fills the whole browser window. This means that always the key events are catched ("stolen") by the Flash movie only, when using Firefox. IE7 seems to be working as I want.
I want for example ctrl+w (close window), ctrl+n (new window), ctrl+t (new tab) to work in Firefox while the focus is on my Flash movie. How to accomplish this?
I'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeking, but basically I have a movie loaded in a clip and when the user clicks a button, I want the loaded movie to perform some kind of action (fade out or whatever) while the new movie is loaded.
Probably something simple, but I'm an idiot,
I have a chat program built using flash for the front end tied to a J2EE back end. My program creates socket connections which must be closed appropriately when a user signs off.
When a user decides to sign off they can click the sign off button and everything is peachy. However, a less responsible user may choose to sign off by simply killing the browser window. Is there any way to implicitly call an actionscript routine on this event?
I'm tracking the keyUp state of the CTRL key and I'm okay with the results except when it comes to key combinations. The code I wrote below is for you to see what the issue is.
Press the CTRL/Apple key and you'll see it traces "CTRL on". Release it and you'll see it traces "CTRL off". No problem there. Now press CTRL and then press the A key (as in select all), now release A, then release the CTRL key and you see nothing traces. Does anybody have an idea about a workaround to that? I prefer not to use a continuous ENTER_FRAME hack for that if any.

I have a function that counts days and some other variables and displays the values via dynamic text.
[Code]...
I have to place the incrementCount(): function every 12 frames so that it increments the values. Seems like it would be easier to simply modify the script to count "every 12 frames" but I can't find anything that tells me how to "count frames" in flash. Seems to be this is probably basic but I've searched unsuccessfully....so how do you do this. How do I get my script to work so it's frame based so I don't have to put incrementCount() every 12 frames?
Just curious if there is a way to add a listener event for "Ctrl + Click" or something like that... Just playing around and wanted to add a "hidden" click option..
View 4 RepliesI've just inherited a flash file on a project since I was the only one who has even seen actionscript code before. So, I'm pretty new to this, but have been programming a pretty long time. What we want is for the animation to begin upon the user clicking it and then when it finishes proceed to the html post submit. From what I see, the code seems mostly to be there, there is a 'stop' event, move next event, and even a 'on press' event. How do I get this to work? I can see the cod in the actions frame, but can't seem to edit it. Attempting to debug it, gives me errors on publishing. (How do I change my publishing?)
This is currently actionscript 2.0. (but we seemingly have no external restrictions on keeping it so) As I mentioned, I'm pretty new to this, so if I am asking the wrong questions,

View 3 RepliesHey, i know this has been asked before, but i couldnt find it anywhere. Is there any way to get an action when you right click your mouse in flash?
View 14 RepliesI have some action script (3.0) Currently, it will allow the viewer to click a button (thumbnail image) and a larger ver. of that image will appear on the stage. I would like to convert this script to a "roll_over" the button (thumbnail image) and the larger image will appear on the stage. When I tried to do this with my new Flash CS4 - it did not work. This should be simple.... Right???
Here is the current script:
stop();
var my_loader:Loader = new Loader();
//load image for thumb1
thumb1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void{

Explaination: MX 04' Pro Thumbnail Nav. loading images with XML Loader resizes and displays images when users click on Nav. reading XML Problem: Users click Thumbnail Nav. first image gets loaded and loader resizes to image. However the next choice by user on thumbnail click, the second image doesnt get resized in the loader. It goes beyond holder. Here is my code for Thumbnail and Loader:
[Code]....
Now the first image loads fine and the loader sizes to file from XML. However, when users click second choice from Thumbail the loader doesnt resize to new image size. It only gets resized on the first selction or if users click the next or prev. buttons then the images fade correctly but nothing fades back in. Now if they do hit next or prev and then hit a thumbnail option it loads and resizes.

}

it doesn't seem to work. nothing happen when press "Enter".
