How do you press a key (like "L") and go to the next frame?
Which event must I pick?
I assume it's something like: stage.addEventListener(Keyboard., but after that I don't know what to do.
This is for AS 3.0 by the way.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to get buttons to be activated by keyboard presses. I have found how to do that with specific keys ... but not with ANY keypress. I'm making a game for tiny children and they can't manipulate the mouse well. So I'm setting up a few things on stage that will run in a certain order when the child presses any key on the keyboard. For example, any key is pressed, dog wags his tail .... any key is pressed again, cat jumps, any key is pressed a third time, cow munches hay, and so on till it goes through a bunch of animal animations, then goes back to the first one. I'm pretty new at this stuff and have been banging my head against google for days trying to find the answer to this out there with no luck! I could do either movieclips or movie clips inside buttons if that makes sense.

View 10 RepliesI'm creating a virtual keyboard for a touchscreen Flex app and i'm trying to simulate a key press by dispatching a KeyboardEvent. I've written a handler function to listen for the event and act accordingly. So far so good but it's starting to get complicated as i have to manage the focused textInputs (easy), the cursor position in those fields (not to so easy), etc.Now, if only there was a way to actually dispatch a KeyboardEvent that Flex would actually interpret as a genuine key press all those issues would be gone.

I have this code to move my player...
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyboardPress);
function keyboardPress (key:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (key.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT){
player.x -= 4;
}
}
...however, when the left key is pressed, the player jumps left once, pauses, then continues to move left.
In AS2,
Code:
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)){player.x -= 4;}
provided for a much smoother movement.So, what is the code equivalent in AS3 of the code from AS2 above? Or, in other words, how do I write a smooth keyboard movement code for AS3?
I'm working in Flash CS4 and I would try to do it in AS3 but my teacher isn't very familiar with it, so I've decided to do it AS2. But so far he hasn't been able to, that is why I AM DESPERATELY coming to you.

I'm trying to get flash to recognize ctrl+z and ctrl+y for redo and undo functionality, though the detection is cut short when i hold the ctrl button first it prints out 17 but when i hit the z it just kills the capture. how would i trap all keys?

I've got two different instances of two different MovieClips on the stage of the fla. Visually they're identical but one is facing left and one is facing right. When the file runs, the one that's facing left appears on the stage while the one that's facing right is set to be invisible. What I'm trying to do is have the one that's facing left go invisible when the right arrow is pressed and for the one that's facing right to appear in it's place and accept further input from the right arrow key. When I run the file, the one facing left moves just fine. My problem is that when I press right, the one facing left disappears and the one facing right appears in it's place but it just moves once and stops.
I have got a movie clip moving up the stage and when I press the keyboard I want it to come back down to its starting position on the bottom of the stage. What code do I add to the following?

I want to make a button that makes you got to a random frame within a certain range (eg frame 41-50) when you press it. I have tried various codes but so far no luck. Im using AS 2

i want a my_mc to move when i press the < LEFT> arrow but also to fire and onEnterFrame event so it will move.. and also to delete the onEnterFrame when the key is not pressed so the onENterFrame is not going on in the background
View 4 RepliesI got a character to move. I want the player to be able to move the character to a button then press spacebar on it. Which will take them to another frame.
This is the code I got for the button but the trouble is u can press spacebar anywhere to go to the next frame.
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
_root.gotoAndPlay(23);
}

[URL] tutorial here was something I ran across while trying to learn how to move an MC using the keyboard. However, I'm looking to do a motion that is a bit more complicated than that - and I'm somewhat stumped. (Yup, Im new to actionscripting) I'd like to be able to move the MC 100 pixels (and that part I've figured out), but I need the motion to be smooth - with inertia. I searched and searched, and this is a link I found that looked useful in demonstrating the effect:[URL] Click the 4th example - 'Inertia, Single plane of movement'
Now, instead of having the _xmouse determine the position, I want to hit the 'forward/backward' keys on the keyboard, and make it hop smoothly forward or backward a 100 pixels. Im just confused where to add what, and I am continuing to work on it. This is being programmed in Flash MX 2004.
This is what i have to do:
-Place 10 buttons on the screen
-Make 10 objects randomly move as i press each of the buttons.
eg: press button 1, object 1 moves to a random position press button 2, object 2 moves to a random position...
, i want to make a carousel -type gallery like the one from the tutorial but with a slight variation: i want it to move only when i press a button.(move left when i press the left arrow and to the right when i press the right).And i want it to move by one image at a time and i want to know which image is to the front(i've created a dynamic text field called imgName).I hope i'm explaining this correctly and i'm attaching an example with two arrows with no actions on them.
View 11 RepliesI'm trying to make a series of images move on button press. The first will appear on the stage when the pages loads. There will be a next button which will make the current image move off to the left of the stage and the next move in to the stage from the right and stop in the center. There are about 10 images.
I also have to do the same to another page but with text and moving in vertically instead of horizontally. I have posted this at the bottom (as the images one is too big to post). Although this version is the one I did with tweens that did'nt work, you can have a play with it if you like?
i am doing this: press buttons on screen to move character left or right, "swipe" elsewhere on screen to do other stuff.
This is how i have handled it:
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
buttonContainer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_ OVER, tOver);
buttonContainer.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_ OUT, tOut);
this works fine, just wondering if anyone has another way to handle it. it seems excessive to have 4 handlers for touch input, but i cant figure out any other way.
TOUCH_OVER and TOUCH_OUT check a switch statement to enable/disable buttons within buttonContainer.
TOUCH_BEGIN and TOUCH_END are used to store points and get a "swipe angle" (only if TOUCH_END is not over a button)
my only problem is i started having glitch's i think becuase so many listeners including: ORIENTATION_CHANGE, KeyboardEvents, Event.DEACTIVATE
this is why i ask if perhaps im missing someway to simplify the touch input listeners
I have a problem with keyboard input, in one of my gameclasses i want to react to user input, i get no errors but myfunction like keyDownHandler wont be called.I have found solutions with child variables and child.focusbut its not working for me?
