when I test my project in flash CS4, both the flash player and the authoring tool detect my keystrokes. Is there a way to make the authoring tool ignore key input while testing a movie, since I really only intend the key presses for the movie?
has anyone else found trace() to be much, much slower in CS4?
I've created a simple Flash based menu (ONE frame, 7 layers) with a Keylistener on the first frame of my "background" layer. I have it setup with six links/buttons. Clicking a button opens that URL. And in "Test" mode from the Flash Editor, pressing 1 thru 6 on the keyboard launches the specified link as well.
But after I publish/upload my file, it no longer detects any keystrokes. I suspected this was because the animation was playing just one frame and stopping, but the animation is set to loop. I also tried adding a second frame and adding a "gotoandplay(1);", but that didn't work either.
Code:
KeyListener = new Object();
var myKey;
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
myKey = Key.getAscii();

I am using FMS. But I use this only in locally. Are there any free flash media server services to test my project?

View 3 RepliesApologies for this post, but I am desperately trying to get an email contact for the swiss watchmaker Jean Roulet le Locle and their site is 100% Flash which does not work for me.
When I try that site with IE8 and FF3, the music and animation start, however, when I try to go to the "next page" it gets stuck at 0% loading. In particular when I try to go to the Contacts page. When the page starts it says "Flash 5.0 plug-in" detected which makes no sense to me.
I've spend an hour uninstalling and reinstalling Flash to no avail. If this site works for someone, could you please post their email contact information.
Originally, I wanted to email this difficulty to Adobe, but they are pretty much a secret organization which is hidden from the prying workd.
I am accessing some games that my company built using a AIR browser (allowing us to sell an installable product on a CD, but keeping the content online for ease of maintenance). I can get the games to load, but i cant get them to accept keystrokes, ie: we have a tetris-like game that isnt getting any of the arrow key inputs. I'm fairly certain this has something to do with a focus issue, but I have no idea how to fix it.
View 2 RepliesSome of my Flash application components require to intercept Ctrl + F4 keyboard events. Unfortunately, the KeyboardEvent is not caught when running the app under IE since it is conflicting with the IE native shortcut (closing the active tab). Is there a way (ideally relying on Flash principles) to intercept such keystrokes?
View 2 RepliesI've written a little video game in Flex that runs in a browser. The player moves by pushing the arrow buttons on the keyboard, so I need to capture those keystrokes. In fact, the game action starts when the player presses one of those keys.In order to capture the keystrokes, the Flash/Flex application, not just the browser, needs to have the focus.How can I ensure that the application has the focus? I've implemented a bit of a hack: A "Begin" button you must click to start the game. The only point of this button is to ensure that the app has the focus.
View 2 RepliesI need to know how to make a button called Textchange that detects if the movie clip Meditext is playing, and if it is then largetext will start playing and Meditext will stop. But if it isn't playing, then nothing happens.
View 2 RepliesI basically need to scale an object up when the user rollsover the button which I have created dynamically already and I need to make sure the object is fully scaled up before I can allow the user to scale it back down again.Ive tried putting 2 tweens (x and yscale) into a function but not sure how to check if the tweens have finished. Im assuming if I check the function is complete it wont take into consideration the tweens may still be running.
View 0 RepliesI'm a slight issue with this for loop:
Code:
for (var i = 0; i < clickArray.length; i++) {
trace(clickArray[i].name);
if (clickArray[i].hitTestPoint(mouseX,mouseY,true)) {[code].....
The code basically see if your touching of the MC in the clickArray and changes another MC's frame accordingly.This bit works fine. However, if I add an else:
Code:
for (var i = 0; i < clickArray.length; i++) {
trace(clickArray[i].name);
if (clickArray[i].hitTestPoint(mouseX,mouseY,true)) {[code]....
If I add an else it only detects the last item in the array, i.e it always goes to frame 7 unless it's touching the last MC in clickArray. why adding an else statement would cause this to happen? I also tried adding an else if not hitTest...
I'm building a preloader which only loads the background image. This preloader is inside a MyStage class and it's something like this:[code] Remember, I'm calling resultado() on the onProgress function just for test purposes. In theory, it should go on the Completehandler function. Now, when I check if perc is equal to 0, it returns true and loads the image and the rest of content in my index class, but only works with zero.[code]

I am trying to implement a quadtree of rectangles (instead of points) to be used for collision detection. For some reason, overlap/intersection/collision is not always detected. I suspect this has something to do with the way an inserted collider looks for nearby colliders (see the "COLLISION A" and "COLLISION B" sections of Quadtree.as). Can anyone identify why this happens?
Below is my code for the quadtree, and several other classes that, when compiled together, will show you what I mean when I say that the "quadtree" s "inaccurate". You only really need to look at Quadtree.as, but compiling it together with the other classes.

I have to load a text file. First I want to detect if the file exists or not, so I use "if (rawTxt == undefined)".
Now, if the file exists and contains data, the condition n2 is met...it's OK! But now, if the file exists BUT is empty it doesn't meet the condition n2.. It's not "undefined" neither "not undefined" since any trace action accours.
In other words, how can I check that a text file exists...AND that it's empty or not (so that I can add a branch if that condition is met?) Try by yourself with an empty text file named "Favorites.ini".
Code:
var loadFavorite = new LoadVars();
loadFavorite.onData = function(rawTxt:String) {
if (rawTxt == undefined) {

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to handle keystrokes WHILE dragging? I found this to be impossible, because hitting a key always fires an "onRelease" or "onReleaseOutside" event on the dragged movieclip when releasing the key - intterupting the drag operation. What I want to do is something like this: Drag and Drop a Movieclip and while dragging it I want to be able to flip it with a keystroke.

I have a little application running and I want the Page Up and Down Buttons to do something when pressed. For some reason though, when I am testing the movie and I press the buttons nothing will happen. I can't even trace anything.It seems to be the case with all of the "Document Keys" (Home, End, Delete, PgUp, PgDown), but not with any of the others.
View 4 RepliesCan keylisteners be used to record keystrokes for later playback? If not, what can? The goal is to develop a way for individuals to make their own music via keypresses. For example: The R key is pressed to start the recording of the user's keyboard, with each keystroke assigned to play a different movieclip/audio, etc. The S key is then pressed to stop the recording. Lastly, the P key is pressed to play those movieclips/audio,etc. in their recorded sequence at the enjoyment of the individiual user.

View 1 RepliesI'm learning Flash to make a website for one of the companies I work forI have a decent portfolio page that loads content information from an .xml document. I'm just thrilled that it works, but my boss wants a little more.He wants to be able to scroll through the entries with left and right keystrokes. In the glow of my recent array-building triumph, I told him, 'sure, I can do that!' ...but I can't. I can't figure out how to make the left and right keys go to previous or next entries. With previous problems I've been able to find an answer by searching google, but I'm stuck on this one.
Here's my code:

I have a movie with a blank mc on the stage. I have it set up so that when you press the RIGHT keyboard key it loads another movie in that mc. Here's the code for that:
Code:
stop();
this.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) {
[Code]....
If I have more than one movie, how do I code it so that when I press the RIGHT key again it loads another movie as well as goes back when I press the LEFT?
I'm working on the following site http:[url]...I'm getting there however the preloader I'm using keeps appearing even when the movie in question has been cached. Is there a preloader solution out there that detects when a movie has been previously loaded so that it won't show the loader bar again. I find it annoying seeing the bar appear unneccessarily all the time.The preloader I'm using is basically this:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loading = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
total = _parent.getBytesTotal();[code]....
As the title suggests, is it possible to capture system-level keystrokes?
