Actionscript 3.0 :: Professional - Using Keyboard Input To Make The Selection
Mar 27, 2012
I basically am creating a video where the intro video plays through then the user is prompted with 3 choices to select which video will play next I am using keyboard input to make the selection. I have the keyboard input capturing working, pretty basic, but I am having trouble getting it to switch to say scene 2 (where I have another video)
[Code]...
And I get a compiler error stating "Scene 1, Layer 'content', Frame 1, Line 11 1120: Access of undefined property event. No other errors come up

I am new to Flash and this forum, so please excuse what will hopefully be a simple question.I am using Flash to build an interactive video kiosk for a museum that will be playing on a MacMini. it possible to create buttons or "scripts" that can be controlled with keystrokes? For example when you press "K" an embedded video will start playing. Or if you press "D", you could go back to the main menu? I am trying to make it so you can interact with flash via push-buttons, as opposed to moving a cursor over virtual buttons. Is this possible? would normally do this in DVD Studio Pro, but the sheer number of videos will not work in a single DVD project, so Flash is the only option I can think of. As a DVD it works great because I can use the arrow keys to navigate, and the enter key to choose a selection.

When a user visits my page, they currently have to click inside a textfield within the movie to type in an ID number.How easy is it to make the movie 'live' so they don't have to click on the swf file itself Once this is sorted, I am ok with making the keyboard input populate my textfield as that already works, I am just trying to make the mouseclick on the movie non-existent. Apparently, ADA means they don't want the mouse click event to activate the movie.

In photoshop, you can create a path with the pen tool and then make that path a selection as if you'd used the lasso tool. How do you turn a pen path into a lasso selection in Flash (CS4)?

I have 4 items on the stage item1_mc, item2_mc, etc...they're stacked vertically with a small space between them. I wish to cycle through these items with two keys, up and down respectively...My current idea is to create an array of these items and have each press of the key add or subtract "1" from the current selection..

Let's say I have a DropDownList with the 50 states in it. I would like to type in the letters "C + O + L" to jump to Colorado, like Firefox and most application do. Right now, it's jumping from California to Ohio to end with Louisiana.

I open up Flash CS5 and make a simple INPUT TEXTFIELD. I run the program, and I can't even use all the characters. It is under ARIAL font. This is literally destroying my soul. Look, if I want to embed fonts, I will embed fonts like in CS4. What is the crazy idea that now we have to embed every font we want to use? Is that how this is going? If I want to use ARIAL, I literally have to embed it? Did APPLE get their hands on Adobe developers and do something seriously this sick to the CS5 world?
I want to make simple input textFields like in the past, without having to embed fonts.

I want to initialize a Flash asset to have a flashing cursor in an empty input field. I tried each of the following two ways with no luck:
1. Selection.setFocus("input_txt");
2. Selection.setFocus(input_txt);
I tried these alone in an empty fla with only the input textfield input_txt on the stage.
The other threads on this exact problem are several years old. Has something changed in for CS3 that it doesn't work.
If I put text in the field, it will be highlighted but that is not what I need. Just a flashing cursor.

I have in a previous project published a game as a standalone app and run it full screen. It would allow users to put their info in for high scores.
Now i am working on another game that will be published as a standalone app. It will need to be full screen and have an entry form at the end for high scores. It does not seem to allow the keyboard to enter text in an input box. Is this true?
Note, this is not an swf played through a browser, but an actual .exe generated from Flash CS5. If this is true, is there a workaround. I need if full screen with keyboard input.

Since flash doesn't allow keyboard input while in fullscreen mode I'm wondering if there is a workaround to that?
I have a flash that is going to run fullscreen in a browser and needs different kinds of keyboard input. I have read something about AIR, but I don't fully understand it and would like another way if thats even possible.

Says this is only possible in AIR in the livedocs - anyone know if there is a workaround for Flash? Using Javascript perhaps?

Here is the code Im trying to use at the moment.
Code:

can't figure out why the keyboard input isn't working. I got this warning, but I always get that warning and it always works. The warning says: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).

I'm going true the AS Programming 3 manual and the [URL] example doesn't work. The authoring environment gets the focus. You can tel because you see the toolbar changing the selected tool as
you type the corresponding letter.

I have some AS2 code for responding to keyboard input - it was great because it added friction, thrust, gravity etc... ie: it made the movements very real and added playability which is key in engaging players. On passing it into classes for OOP I don't seem to have got it right. maybe somebody knows a nice tutorial for the same.It was Emanuel Feronato's tut in AS2

Is there some other simple method to redirect mouse/keyboard input from one object to an object behind it. I have used mouseEnabled = false where the object in front is only a UIComponent and it works. However mouseEnabled,mouseChildren=false is not working for an SWFLoader.

found only one thing that seemed to be on the lines of what I am having issues with:
stage.focus = this;
My problem: The the flash app I am working on, some of the controls are done with the keyboard. At certain points, you need to click on an on screen button to continue. When I do this, it seems the focus is lost from where it was, and I can no long use keyboard actions (such as the spacebar KeyboardEvent that works prior to clicking the mouse)
I will admit that I am a newcomer to Flash (only played with it for about a month now), and I don't know much about the focus stuff. Basically, I want to know how to set the focus back to where it was after the buttons are clicked.

i'm facing a weird problem with the following flex application (something very simple, couldn't be more):
HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">
<mx:TextInput/>
[Code].....
I tried these browsers on Mac: Safari, Firefox, Omniweb, Opera. And it works like a charm for them. The bug is only on Google Chrome Mac.
I also tried on Windows with IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome. No bug either for them on Windows.
I've read on the Internet other people on Linux have the same bug sometimes (again, it's just for a couple of browsers and never all the browsers on their platform). I hope I don't have to tell my users to trick with their OS configuration. It's our job to make our apps to fit the visitor, not theirs!
A special configuration to do (compatibility mode with older Flash version 8, 9, something like that?)...
