I've tried about 8 different ways to get a key event into my code, and none of them seem to work.

I'm not really sure why, but whenever I press and hold any of the arrow keys(haven't tested other keys). My instance called player has it's x coordinate increased by 5 as my code indicates, but while holding down any of the arrow keys there is a split second pause before the continued movement of my player instance. I'm using CS5.5, AS3.0.

I have a flash file that import a .as with a class in it.In the imported class I catch keyboard press with
Code: Select allst.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyPush);
where 'st' is the stage that I retrive using
Code: Select allst=parent.parent;
If I try my swf as is it's functions correctly, BUT if I try to follow the gotoAndLearn Preloader [URL]my flash file is loaded by the preloader swf correctly but the catching of key press doesn't function. why the loaded file doesn't catch the keyboard press?I have to add the key_down listener to another object? (I've also tried with 'this.' but it doesn't work)
I was wondering what a best practice is to capte a word.For example if someone types in 'hello' then a function should be initialized.
Should i push every letter that is pressed in an Array? and check on every keydown if the word is in the array?Or is it better to use a string and add a letter to this string en look in it to see if there is a match?
when I use this code I got some following errors 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).
How do I get rid of it?
I haven't used AS in a while so I am trying to relearn it. I am trying to add an event listener to this sprite I created called Ball. I have a child of the Ball class in created in the Main class, so it seems like it should work. But whenever I press a key nothing happens.Main class:

changing the behavior of Key_down event. in every tutorial if for example you keep left arrow pressed you object will move to the left for i.e 5pix all the time,constant speed. can you change the key_down so it will only move once no matter how long the key is pressed, after you release it and press again it will only move one time again and so on
View 2 RepliesWith the KEY_DOWN event handler, if the user holds the key down it fires the event constantly. I want to create a KEY_DOWN event which only fires once on the initial key press, even if the user holds the key down.
View 2 Repliesis there a way to display the keycode for a KEY_DOWN command on the screen ? and im not talking about the keycode itself ( the num ), im talking about the symbol on the keyboard...lets say im pressing T on the keyboard, i want to see T on the screen and when im pressing P, same thing, i wanna see P.

I'm using an SWF handler to load my pages(MovieClips) into the Main Movie. I'm using Actionscript 2.0. My problem is when I click the button the swf is loaded into the handler but my actionscript is not executing its _x axis move.(graphics should slide in from the right), Here is the code I have applied to the sliding graphic:
//OLD SKOOL
xTargetOSM = 30;
OSM.onEnterFrame = function() {
[code]....
-this code works when the SWF is played alone, but fails when it is loaded into the SWF handler in my main movie.
I have been asked by a local web development company to code some flash banners for use with there banner ad site they are doing. I have been sent a banner to add the actionscript and also the actionscript as well. What I have is a fla doc with a button that covers the whole banner. Then on the banner I have this actionscript:-
this.masterButton_but.onRelease = function(){ if (root.Hyperlink != null){ getURL(root.Hyperlink); }else if(root.clickTag != null){ getURL(root.Hyperlink); }else{ getURL("http://www.greatrun.org/Events/Event.aspx?id=3"); } }
When I test it the compiler errors and says in the description "Statement must appear within on handler".
I keep getting the "statement must appear within on handler" error when I try to add a gotoAndPlay event to my button...

I am now using FancyUpload (flash upload) to allow user to upload files in a small project. I use Generic Handler to handler in server when user uploads his file, but I'm getting error:
Can't get session in Generic Handler (.ashx) when using Firefox or Chrome etc except IE
I read so many solution and finally found out that Flash has some bug that can't send cookie in Firefox or Chrome except IE. Maybe I can check the session in Flash before it's start to send the file to the server or check session in Generic Handler before save it, How to do it?
I have the next code:

How do I remove the event handler onPress?
I am trying to make a liquid gui layout (i think this is what it's called).Anyway, I have done part of this, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to position movieclips that aren't on the stage.These movieclips have linkage ID's and are being called when you click on a button.
Code:
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);[code].........
The linkage ID name is: pageWeddings
When you click on the button "weddings", it loads "pageWeddings".I want to position this somehow.
I'm adding event handlers to dynamically created movies. The event handler is not active and the cursor does not change to a finger over the clip Here is the applicable code.

View 1 RepliesI'm failing repeatedly when trying to get a navigation system to work. Breaking the code into more chewable chunks is my latest idea, but there is still a ticklish problem: I need to activate a handler in an swf I load with the loader class. I get a compiler error that says: Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 63 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method MakeIt through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.

I would like to use variables in my flash app. The app is quite simple, has many buttons, and on each of those buttons I have a simple script: on-rollover and on-release. For both actions I use the same value, which I want to put in a variable. The following script results in an error message: Statement must appear within on handler. When I have to declare the variable inside the on-handler, I have to declare it twice, which makes it useless as I have to enter the value twice. How can I get this working?
country = "uk"
on (rollOver){ gotoAndPlay(country)}
on (release){ getURL("/"+country+"/", "_self");}
I want to extend my function to a better design to where I can pass a canvas object into so I don't have to write N functions.. I'm not sure as how to do this properly I've come up with a naive design with a switch but even then if I add another canvas I still need to write new code for the new canvas.
function fadeCanvasOut(event:TimerEvent):void
{
canvas1.alpha -= 0.1;

I'm trying to put a label and an image on a UIComponent, side-by-side. I want to use UIComponent for efficiency reasons, and the entire component is more complicated than just a button with an icon.
I'm trying to get a click handler on ther entire UIComponent so that when a click happens on either the label or the image, the same [click] event handler is called. If I add a click handler on the root component, it works, but when I introduce space between the label and the image, the space between them becomes un-clickable. I produce the space by using the move(x,y) method for the label and the image with a small gap between the x/y coordinates.
my flex application sends a few concurent requests on startup. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to fetch them all so I've set them requestTimeout param to 5 secs. Additionally, I've defined a method that handles fault events. I'd like to resend a request when timeout occurs.It doesn't work though. Could you take a look at the code?
protected function fatalErrorOccuredInfo(event:FaultEvent):void
{
// get the operation

We (AS3 coders) all know that one of the great things about the AS3 event model is that handlers are scoped to their containing objects. I'm writing an EventDispatcher for JavaScript, and trying to achieve the same effect.My question could be answered in a couple different ways:A: How does ActionScript 3 set scope within an event handler to the handler's container object, rather than to the event handler's caller (the IEventDispatcher on whom dispatchEvent() was invoked)?

I am just learning Flash. I'm using Flash CS4, However I am using Actionscript 1.0/2.0. I have a main page with just simple buttons, and such. My question is, I need to load a swf within my main page. I have a sqaure in the center of my page that I want to load a swf in. I made a rectangle using the rectangle tool, and converted the rectangle into a symbol so that actions may be placed within it. I want to load a file called News.swf within the rectangle. I can't find any code to do this that doesnt have compiler errors.
I found one code: News.loadMovie("News.swf"); when I put just that in the Actions field, and I export the movie I get the error: Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler
I just want to load News.swf in the actions tab within a symbol.
