ActionScript 3.0 :: Reading All The Keys?

May 28, 2009

using the authoring tool to test,I find I can only read certain keys via:stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);
 
But when I test in a browser, I can indeed read all the keys. So the IDE must be intercepting certain keypresses. E.g., I can read w and d but not e.

How can I read all keys? Testing in a browser all the time is a bit inconvenient

Apr 27, 2011

whether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?

When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Get The Fox - By Using The Arrow Keys?

Jul 14, 2009

The objective is to get the fox - by using the arrow keys - to move around on the stage and when he touches a duck the duck should disappear of the stage. The duck has a motion tween on it, to make it fly.Also if the fox touches one of the traps he should make a sound - using the redfox.wav sound  in the library and disappear off the stage.I have this code on the actionscript timeline //Program to generate a set number of traps

//Declaring Variables var numOfTraps:Number; var movieWidth:Number; var movieHeight:Number; var counter:Number; //setting variables values for traps numOfTraps = 6 movieWidth = Stage.width; movieHeight = Stage.height; //Program to generate a set number of traps //Declaring Variables     for (counter = 7; counter <= 13; counter++){ //Place 6 traps on the stage [code]....

ActionScript 3.0 :: Key Presses - But Only For Some Keys

Dec 9, 2010

I have a really strange problem. I've made a custom class that listens for keyboard events such as key presses (I use it in order to navigate in an interface). When I test my file in Flash (using 'command'+'enter') all key presses work as they should. However, when I publish the file and starts the projector (or the swf for that matter) one key ('g') isn't doing what it should!

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using Keys To Move MC?

Oct 8, 2009

I'm learning Flash and Actionscript and playing around with some different features. I have an MC of a car and have coded them arrow keys to move it left and right and the up and down keys to adjust the speed. It also flips the MC horizontally based on which direction is pressed. There is a startover button that goes to the beginning of the timeline, and a back and next button.

Everything works except I have to click on the stage to get it to recognize the key presses. Once I click the stage it works fine. If I go forward and come back it won't work until I click the stage again. I THINK it was working correctly last night, but I was playing around with some of the images and code this morning and realized it wasn't working right anymore...or maybe I just didn't realize I was clicking the stage last night.

Here's my script:

Code:
stop();
btnStartOver.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StartOver97);
function StartOver97(event:MouseEvent):void {

IDE :: Disable Up/down Keys In A Combobox?

Jan 6, 2010

I'm building a simple app where an image displayed changes based on which image is selected in the combobox. Pick a different image in the combobox, the old one transitions out, the new one transitions in. Easy, right? So while the transition is taking place, even though I disable the combobox (.enabled = false, and I remove the Event.CHANGE listener for the combobox, I can still scroll through the combobox's options with the up/down arrow keys. I'd like to lock that ability out temporarily

Reading XML From URL Link?

Apr 19, 2010

The project will have a web based interface but the actual presentation will be in flash. So the premise is you create a presentation, flash then reads the XML data, creates a menu and presents the other XML data in a linear fashion and my first question is whether the XML is in the correct format. I am not the one programming the XML side of things we have a .NET programmer doing that and he has not worked with Flash too much and this is also something new for me as well.

Code: Select all<presentation>
<info>
<name>My First Presentation</name>

Changing The Value Of A Variable By Pressing Keys?

Jun 18, 2010

There is probably a better way to do what I'm trying to do, but I simply want to make a variable change its value when I press the arrows keys. For example if I wanted to cycle through weapons, if weapon=0 then the character is holding a certain weapon, then I press the down arrow key and weapon=1 and if weapon=1 the character is holding another weapon. And if I press up weapon=0 again so he's holding the first weapon again. And say there's 8 weapons, if weapon>8 then weapon=0 again so its a cycle. I tried arrow key functions and all they worked for was making a symbol move. I think I knew how to do this stuff in gamemker pretty well but Flash is very different.

Components: Combo Box / Set Of Keys As Will Not Affect

Jun 28, 2011

I have been making a game and have recently found out about the Combo Box component, I love it and it works really well, except for one thing.You play the game using the arrow keys, and when you press the arrow keys the character moves, AND it changes the value in the Combo Box, I do not want it to affect the combo box.Please do not say use the WASD keys or another set of keys as this will not affect it, because this is not an option, they are already being used!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Key Listener Works Only On Keys W, U, D, G And X

Dec 17, 2011

Key Listener I did on Flasg-8 stopped working properly after I re-published them in Flash CS3 In particular reloading the clip on pressing A still does not work, although it used to on Flash-8. The relevant bit of code is:

switch(Key.getCode())
{
case(65)://a
trace(Key.getCode());

[Code].....

variable game_swf is defined earlier and is simply a name of this clip: "game1.swf" and on pressing A it traces correctly

The fla file is saved as FLASH8 The publishing settings are AS2, Flash Player 9

The whole thing is running on PC with Windows XP

Navigation With Keys And Loading SWFs?

Dec 2, 2009

I have been working on a project which has been giving me headaches. I want to be able to navigate through a presentation using the arrow keys - To do everything on the one timeline was going to be too complicated and messy so tried to create separate files but could not get the separate files loading -.My next problem is incorporating the two approaches - here is my code from my test files with my attempt added:

stop();
// create an array to hold the names of the frame labels
var labels:Array = new Array();
// take the name of each label in a MovieClip and put each

[code]....

I can either get the arrow key navigation to work or the previous movie to load but the left arrow key then doesn't navigate back. Although in saying this version doesn't work and I can't get it load again.
