I'm trying to play a movie by pressing a keyboard key. "B" for example. It stops playing automatically. But when I press the key again it should start playing from where it stopped.
View 1 RepliesThis will not work for some reason, keep pressing the play then stop in the movie.
View 6 RepliesThere are 5 movieclips on the stage (btn0 to btn4). I wanted to change focus pressing Keyboard.UP and Keyboard.DOWN. But the focus changes not in correct order. It jumps in mysterious way from 0 to 2 and so on.[code]
View 6 RepliesI posted this question before , but never got an answer that I understood or could get to work - so now that I have something to show I thought I would post it with the question again.
Have a look at this :[URL].. Now, once the screen says "GO!" I want player 1 to be able to move that blue horse across the screen to the finish line (where it will have a hitTest to decide the winner).
I'm trying to setup an interface where an event is triggered by the user pressing a key on the keyboard. So far I have the following code in a button on the stage:
Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
trace("you pressed a")
}
on (keyPress "b"){
[code]...
Which works fine. I was wondering if there was a way to either remove the case sensitive properties of the keypress action, or to force the keyboard to return a caps lock or something. The only way I can think of doing it so far would be something like this:
Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
trace("you pressed a")
}
on (keyPress "A"){
[code]...
Which obviously will double the amount of code needed - especially as the event for a small c and a capital C would be the same.
I'm completely new to AS3/Flash programming, though I program in C/C++/C# in my job. These days I got a project idea which I think Flash would better fit than the other languages I mentioned above. I want to create an on-line automation application that can:
1. Control user mouse clicks, or eventually keyboard, pressing some keys;
2. Communicate/connect to the user's bluetooth device, establishing connections to the mobile devices attached to it - the web application in this case would act as a server.
I have 2 scenes. In both scenes, I have a movie clip that moves via keyboard control. If the goto next scene is triggered by the movie clip in the first scene the keyboard control works in the second. However, if I use a button to move to the next scene then there isn't any control over the movieclip in that scene. I've traced the keyCode in the second scene and it is picked up but the switch statement doesn't run. I'm migrating to Actionscript 3.0 and updating something I created in 2.0. I would like to do it without writing a class.

On to the problem: I have a very simple flash, basically just a photo slideshow. The issue I'm having is this: I have a bunch of photos on the timeline, but I have a button on top of everything, just to give viewers the option to skip that particular scene. The button works, but only when the video timeline has reached the very end of the scene. It won't work before the end of the scene. The button actionscript is the most basic of basic:
on (release) {
gotoAndPlay(scene1)
}
I put a movie stopped, I want that when I press (enter) the movie go to and play my next scene. How I can make that?
View 2 RepliesI have a menu bar as a movie clip and another movie clip acting as a slider. I want to on pressing a button on the Manu bar movie clip get the slider to slide across with easing. however I don't want the easing to be infinite so can't use a this._x*=.9 or some decimal < 1. Loop function only acts on the sinle fram so it too quick to see.

View 3 RepliesI wrote this AS for my preloader which schould be able to load a movie clip after pressing a specif button in the main sceene:
[Code]....
1) The problem is that to be able to target a movieclip I will need to give it a instance name. Where can i find this function in MX ?
2) I cannot understant how I schoul put a loadBar being a small movieclip on the main timeline, I think( the same timeline the container clip is at ) or maybe not ? well I am bit confused now..
Well I have done already a sceene preloader for my site and it works perfectly and i did not experience any problems as Im having now with this new kind of preloader.
I want my animation to STOP when I press SPACE, and then PLAY when I press SHIFT. This needs to be in AS3. The only catch is that my whole animation is composed of 5 Scenes. Would this be a problem? Also, I'm confused as to where I should add the code. I have it in a class and it still doesnt work. I tried putting it on the 1st frame on Scene 1.
View 1 RepliesI've been looking for this for years, and a good friend of mine that is a master at AS3 is not well versed in AS2, so I thought I'd ask the pros here.onClipEvent(mouseUp) on(release)I have code like these two examples on a mc (sometimes a button, I only use buttons in AS2) on the root timeline. Usually I use a mouse-click to activate them, but there's this one mc I'd like to have work via a keyboard keypress. What I can do is make the first frame of this mc blank, and the 2nd frame and beyond have elements to expose. So I was thinking I hit the key "v" to play this mc that resembles a volume overlay screen for this UI I'm working on
View 5 RepliesI want the user of my game to be able to press the Space bar and be taken to a new scene. I know how to do this with a button, but I can't figure out the code to use for a Keyboard event.
how to make pressing the spacebar play a new scene?
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 want to be able to PRESS A and play the movie clip that goes with it.
I want to do this with the whole alphabet.
Press A play movie clip APage
Press B play movie clip BPage - and so on....
I'm quite new to Actionscripts and I hope someone can help me with two issues I'm having. I have a rather long timeline that I want to use the Keyboard to play particular sections of this timeline. I can get the Keyboard to jump to the specific frame I want, but I don't know how to indicate that action to stop at a particular frame, and then to loop that section.
So, for example, if I press the UP key, I want it to start playing from frame 5 of the timeline to frame 14, afterwhich it will loop until I press another key.
My other question is how do you script a Keyboard to play audio?[code]...
needless to say, new to as3... What I want to do is control start and stop of stage playhead with keyboard control. What I have so far is the stop control, but cant figure out the play. I have tried setting a var and boolean, but am doing something wrong =(
// heres my code
[Code]....
I think worded the question wrong or posted in the wrong catagory I keep geting error messages with this code in AS2.0
Code:
if (key.isDown(key.getCode(81))) {
_root.samplesound=new Sound();
_root.samplesound.attachSound("sample1")
[code]....
This is the message fore both pieces Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler Im trying to get the letter "q" to play a linked mp3 in my library When I apply the code to a seperate layer No error messages shows, but no sound plays. When I apply the code to a movie clip/button object, that message shows up!
I need to play some mp3 sounds (bird songs), depending on keyboard events.
First I create my Sound and SoundChannel
var music:Sound=new Sound();[code]......
Everything fine till there but I need later to stop the current sound, and play a new one ...I made some tries ; I am able to stop the current sound, but unable to play another one .How should I proceed ?
I want a movie clip (let's call it homecontent_MC) with 100 frames play to frame 80 and stop.Then when someone clicks a button on the navigation bar (home, about, services, contact, etc...) homecontent_MC would then begin playing from it's position (frame 80) til it reaches 100, at which point it wouldn't be on screen, and the movie clip that corresponds to the navigation button press (say services_MC...) would start from frame 1 and continue til it stops at it's frame 80...
View 7 RepliesFor the last few months I've been just experimenting with different actionscript elements, and Ive slowly built up a stick figure to move around on the Stage. He can collide with platforms, jump, etc. and there is an appropriate animation for each movement, and there is gravity effects, you get the idea.Well, normally, I just use the following method to activate a animation when I press say the Right Arrow Key:
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
guy.gotoAndStop("runRight");
guy._x+= moveSpeed;

I try to move my existing movie clip using keyboard.. I want to clear how i can move mc.. For example if i click errows.. or for example if i click N i must move mc to right position. But i can not clear why my arrows working and N not

I have five different scenes all including three different buttons. When I test the buttons in "play scene" - all buttons sounds correctly in all scenes. But when I play movie, there is sound only with one button (the same button in every scene). I have looked for differences, but this button seem to have all the same parameters as the others.

I'm looking for a way to "inject" some events into a flash movie running on a browser. I know about ActionScript's ExternalInterface.addCallback function, however I'm trying to achieve this with any "random" flash from the web. Eg. send a "SPACE" keyboard event to a youtube video.
View 4 RepliesHere's the code
public function onKeyPress( keyboardEvent:KeyboardEvent ):void {
if (keyboardEvent.keyCode == Keyboard.A) {
//DO MY STUFF NAO
}}
Error:
1119: Access of the possibly undefined property A through a reference with static type class.
When I put Keyboard.RIGHT or Keyboard.SHIFT etc. It works fine. I tried it with keyboard.Event.keyCode == 97 and such and it still didn't work.
I have some keyboard events that work fine when I "test move" however when I debug the movie the keyboard events don't seem to fire.
