IDE :: Disable Up/down Keys In A Combobox?
Jan 6, 2010
I'm building a simple app where an image displayed changes based on which image is selected in the combobox. Pick a different image in the combobox, the old one transitions out, the new one transitions in. Easy, right? So while the transition is taking place, even though I disable the combobox (.enabled = false, and I remove the Event.CHANGE listener for the combobox, I can still scroll through the combobox's options with the up/down arrow keys. I'd like to lock that ability out temporarily

While a user is in a frame, I have the user press F1 to gotoAndPlay another frame, press F3 to gotoAndPlay another frame, etc. But when the user presses the F1 or F3 function key, they get the IE browser search screen or IE keyboard shortcut. How do I use AS3 to have the action taken when the user presses F1 perform the function within my flash file and not the IE process for the function key?

whether using a String as the key in a Dictionary results in slower lookups than using an Object, Class or Custom Object (an instance of developer defined Type)?
When using a String as a key, does the literal String have to be parsed, or does the Dictionary key point to the String Object?

How do I get the AWSD keys to work as smoothly as the arrow keys. I can put the arrow keys inside an enterFrame
[AS]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//move the tank
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
[Code]....
If I put the AWD keys inside an enterFrame they run until I push another button

I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.

I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.

**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/abc', since linkage identifiers must be unique.**Warning** The linkage identifier 'ComboBox' was already assigned to the symbol 'ComboBox', and cannot be assigned to the symbol 'GUI MC/Combo Boxes/def', since linkage identifiers must be unique.
Both of my ComboBoxes has the same identifier.I could not change the identifier through the properties tab because it is greyed out.

in AS2 how would i use the down arrow key to make the timeline play? at the moment i have this and i presume i need to put something after that to make it play. [code]but i presume this is totaly wrong because the "stop();" doesnt stop the clip when the "if (Key.isDown(40))" bit is after it.

is it possible to set the state of keys rather than just read them in AS3? I am particularly interested in setting the state of the CAPS LOCK, NUMBER LOCK and SCROLL LOCK if possible i.e. toggling the LED state.

using the authoring tool to test,I find I can only read certain keys via:stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);
But when I test in a browser, I can indeed read all the keys. So the IDE must be intercepting certain keypresses. E.g., I can read w and d but not e.
How can I read all keys? Testing in a browser all the time is a bit inconvenient

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
//Declaring Variables var numOfTraps:Number; var movieWidth:Number; var movieHeight:Number; var counter:Number; //setting variables values for traps numOfTraps = 6 movieWidth = Stage.width; movieHeight = Stage.height; //Program to generate a set number of traps //Declaring Variables for (counter = 7; counter <= 13; counter++){ //Place 6 traps on the stage [code]....

I have done up a flash demo which uses the computer mouse to navigate. Now instead of using mouse, I want to use keyboard (arrow up, down, left, right) to highlight buttons and then hit "enter" key to click the button.

I have a really strange problem. I've made a custom class that listens for keyboard events such as key presses (I use it in order to navigate in an interface). When I test my file in Flash (using 'command'+'enter') all key presses work as they should. However, when I publish the file and starts the projector (or the swf for that matter) one key ('g') isn't doing what it should!

I'm learning Flash and Actionscript and playing around with some different features. I have an MC of a car and have coded them arrow keys to move it left and right and the up and down keys to adjust the speed. It also flips the MC horizontally based on which direction is pressed. There is a startover button that goes to the beginning of the timeline, and a back and next button.
Everything works except I have to click on the stage to get it to recognize the key presses. Once I click the stage it works fine. If I go forward and come back it won't work until I click the stage again. I THINK it was working correctly last night, but I was playing around with some of the images and code this morning and realized it wasn't working right anymore...or maybe I just didn't realize I was clicking the stage last night.
Here's my script:
Code:
stop();
btnStartOver.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, StartOver97);
function StartOver97(event:MouseEvent):void {

I am trying to get a keyboard input why my game is playing. So here is my code below. Thing is, only certain keys are coming up in the trace. So if I press the a key, nothing happens. If press the d key, I get the trace. Only a handful of the keys are registering... why?
Code:
function PowerUps(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
var holdout = getTimer();
var theKey:String = String.fromCharCode(e.charCode); //the key code the was pressed

I 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.

There is probably a better way to do what I'm trying to do, but I simply want to make a variable change its value when I press the arrows keys. For example if I wanted to cycle through weapons, if weapon=0 then the character is holding a certain weapon, then I press the down arrow key and weapon=1 and if weapon=1 the character is holding another weapon. And if I press up weapon=0 again so he's holding the first weapon again. And say there's 8 weapons, if weapon>8 then weapon=0 again so its a cycle. I tried arrow key functions and all they worked for was making a symbol move. I think I knew how to do this stuff in gamemker pretty well but Flash is very different.

I have been making a game and have recently found out about the Combo Box component, I love it and it works really well, except for one thing.You play the game using the arrow keys, and when you press the arrow keys the character moves, AND it changes the value in the Combo Box, I do not want it to affect the combo box.Please do not say use the WASD keys or another set of keys as this will not affect it, because this is not an option, they are already being used!
