Is there a way to make it so that when you press the right key your animation/game goes forward a frame and when you press the left key it goes back a frame? I have a pretty minimal knowledge of actionscript so I'm not exactly sure how it would be done.

View 2 RepliesI have been using powerpoint all long for my presentations, but I'd like to move on with Flash. My question is therefore as follows: How do I use the arrow keys to go to the next frame and optionally, the left key to go to the previous frame?
View 2 RepliesI have been tasked with creating a "PowerPoint-style" presentation using Flash CS4 and I am just learning AS3. I would just use a PPT to Flash conversion utility but they want more elaborate text and image effects and better embedded video handling. Also, it seems like using the Flash Slide presentation option in Flash CS4 limits the kind of effects I can do. How to navigate the presentation sequentially (back and forth) using the arrow keys to jump to the next or previous frame label.

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

How do I change the corner radius of a Label component in Flex. Tried applying style name, and the setStyle('cornerRadius',9) methods, but doesn't work. How can I change the arrow image in the combo box control to a different image?
View 4 RepliesI have a file set up with a movie clip moving from side to side by itself and when it reaches the end of the stage it goes back in the opposite direction.[code]I know want to control the movie clips movement with arrow keys, just left and right so that it would stop when it reaches the edge and will only let me move it the opposite direction.I guess I'm just trying to set up a sort of template.

View 2 Replieshow do you move an object around with the arrow keys.
But there's a catch.
I need my object to flip horizontal when pressing right when it is facing left ( and vice versa). And I need it to flip vertical when it is facing facing upwards and the down arrow is pressed (and vice versa).
I am trying to create a four button system that is controlled using either your mouse or arrow keys.I need to create a Key Listener to allow the highlighting and selecting of each button . The arrow keys allow you to select button when you reach the last button it returns to the first button, and the enter key allows you to select the button.

I'm making a Flash presentation for a client which I will eventually publish as a Projector movie...All the animated slides are in individual scenes, but the individual scenes have several stop points.My client wants to be able to use the left and right arrow keys to skip backwards and forwards to these stop points. They also want to be able to press the spacebar at any point to stop and play the movie manually.
View 1 RepliesHow to make a symbol move with the arrow keys and wasd keys?
AS3 adobe CS4 premium
so first off, this is AS 2.0. Second, i have a little character from a tutorial on how to move an object around with the arrow keys. The character faces on way on "up" another on "down" and so forth. There are 4 frames for it facing up, down, left, and right so that on the key presses it faces the proper direction and moves accordingly. I also want this little guy to move behind objects. When this happens, i want the object that the little guy is behind to be partially transparent so that you can still see him and he doesnt just vanish.

Everything worked perfectly fine in CS5, then I converted it to CS4 and it won't move my guy around, or even trace anything, when I press the WASD keys. The arrow keys still work fine.
im currently trying to extend my flash video player with the option to pause the video and then use the left and right arrow keys to navigate forward and backwards frame by frame. I already figured out that I can only seek to keyframes and not every frame and that seeking always gets you to the closest keyframe automatically.
I couldnt find a method anywhere to seek to the next keyframe automatically and if I try to seek in small intervals I sometimes end up on the next frame like I intended but most of the time I get thrown back to the keyframe I started because it�s the closer one.
I wouldn't think this to be a very difficuly question to find a solution to. My question is; I have a movieclip with instance name "player" and I am trying to layout it's basic movement properties. I already have made it so that the mc will move up, down, left, and right. Cake. What I am having trouble with is getting the mc to rotate in the designated direction (right = 0 degrees, up = 90 degrees, etc).
I have tried using the xscale 100/-100 strategy, but that doen't do anything for up and down movements.
My code so far is as follows:
Actionscript Code:
playerDirection = 0;setInterval(function () {if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {setDirection(0);_root.player._x += 3;}if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {setDirection(1);_root.player._x -= 3;}if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {_root.player._y

I just made a new Flash project. It lets you move a Cube, with the arrow keys on the keyboard.
Code:
function hearKey(yourEvent:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (yourEvent.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT){
cube_mc.x+=5 };
if (yourEvent.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT){
[Code] .....
It works perfectly fine, except for example: I press down the down key. It moves down (good so far). I keep pressing the down key down and also press the left key down. Now it moves left(not so good, I want it to move both left and down, how do I do that?) Now I release the left key but am still on the down key. Nothing happens....(I want it to then continue going down).

View 16 RepliesIn Fash CS3, suddenly, in certain files, I can't move an object left using arrow keys - but I can move the same object right, or if I hold down Shift + left arrow, it works correctly Also - I can move the object down with arrow keys, but not up Workaround - move an object on a different layer, then return to the problem object and it moves correctly. But this doesn't last long, the problem resurfaces.(I've tried rebooting; tried copying all the layers into a new file.
View 1 RepliesI've a flash games site, and Im having a lot of difficulties to make it show in internet explorer 8.When you are playing any flash, the arrow keys that should belong to the flash scroll the page up and down (probably left and right too). This was happening in both ie7 and ie8.I placed the flash inside an iframe, that fixed to IE7, but the problem persists on IE8.If I change the flash wmode from transparent to window, the page stops scrolling, but this breaks all my menus and banners, that get hidden behind the flash when they expand.How can I place a flash, with wmode transparent, and make arrow keys work in the expeted way in IE8?
View 3 Replieshow to use the arrows keys in a flash movie to move the timeline. None of them help, or work (or at least I can't get them to work as advertised). Some of the solutions seem way to complicated for such a simple problem. I don't want to use AS3. What I need to do is to have the ability to move from frame 1 to frame to or from scene 1 to scene 2 in my flash movie. This is the code I have in frame 1 (there is no other code in the swf) -
stop();
myListener = new Object ();
myListener.onKeyDown = function (){
trace ("you pressed a key");

This code "works", by that I mean I can go from frame 1,2,3,4,5 just fine and back from frame 5,4,3,2,1 just fine. The problem is once I am back at frame 1 and want to go back to frame 2, I get to frame 3, going forward goes to frame 5 and going back ends in frame 1.
