Keypress Event Not Working In Second Scene?
Nov 12, 2010
I am a high school teacher who is teaching Actionscript 3.0 for the first time. I am teaching my students how to create multiple scenes to understand actionscipt interactivity. The first scene has a button. The second scene has something happen when a key is pressed. The problem is that the second scene doesn't work. Flash doesn't even show the trace command that a key has been pressed. Keypresses work fine when done in the first scene, but when put in the second scene after a button has been pressed, it doesn't recognize the keypress event.

I am trying to make an interactive presentation, where you can push down on different keys and show different layers in my image. [URL]. If you open this .swf and press the "Q,W,E,R,T" keys you can see what I mean. It was working fine with the layers associated with the "Q W E" keys, but once I started adding more, I cannot press and reveal more than 3 layers at once (try pressing different combinations of three keys at once and you should see that not all of the layers appear, but each key works individually).
Here is my AS3:
Code:
import caurina.transitions.*;
mc_aerial.alpha = 0;
mc_01.alpha = 0;
mc_02.alpha = 0;
mc_03.alpha = 0;
mc_04.alpha = 0;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, mc_aerial_KeyDown);
function mc_aerial_KeyDown (e:KeyboardEvent):void{

I am trying to move an object on keypress. so i am doing
if(keyboardevent.keycode == keycode)
{
code to move;
}
this works perfectly fine, but when i keep the key pressed for a couple of seconds, the motion is not smooth. for the first second the object gets stuck there, and then moves smoothly. same thing happens when i change the key. basically, it is taking time to read the first key event.
why is it so? i dont want this 1 second delay. i want the object motion to be fluent, as i am making a time critical game.

I have a chat swf with one dynamic textfield that shows the typed text and one input textfield with an "ok" button. I'm using this code on the button:
Code:
on(release, keypress "enter") { //do something}
With this code after the typing, the user could just press the "enter" key to transfer the typed text to the dynamic textfield of the chat. It was everything working perfectly, the problem showed up when I added the UiScrollBar component to scroll the dynamic textfield. When I add the UiScrollBar to the library, the keypress "enter" event on the button stop working! If I delete the UiScrollBar component, keypress event start working again!

[code]It works fine when I press the button but not when I press the enter key.Just to set the context I want users to be able to use enter to enter an answer into a grid before moving on to the next cell. My cells are all labelled A1, A2 etc so that I didn't get confused. As I am and will always be a newbie I couldn't figure out a function to do what I wanted so came up with what is probably a long winded way around: store the textfield instance name in an array and then call the item in the array in conjunction with setFocus - like I say it works when I click the button (which I intend to hide off screen).

Just run into an odd little problem. My project allows for the user to press numbers on the keyboard to call specific functions accordingly.It all works fine, until the user goes into "fullscreen" mode. When they are in fullscreen mode, keypress actions no longer seem to work at all. Have I missed something out with an EvenListeners? Or have I overlooked something entirely?Here's a sample of how the keyboardEvent is being used:
Code:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keypress);
function keypress(keyEvent:KeyboardEvent) {

In Scene 1, I have some buttons which I want to lead to Scene 2, Scene 3, and Scene 4. However, I can't make the buttons work! I have tried this code:
btn_1.onRelease = function (){
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
};
It gives me these errors:
1120: Access of undefined property btn_1.
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type int to an unrelated type String.
And I wind up with a looping flash movie of scene 1 and scene 2, even though I put a stop() on the timeline of Scene 1.

I have a play button on one layer and an actions button on another layer. Im using Actionscript 3.0. im trying to make it so when you click the button it takes you to the next scene but when i test it it just flashes the button and goes straight to the next scene. :/Here is the code i last tried but i have tried about 20 different things so far:
stop();
base_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 2");
}
I want to upload the .fla but i dont know how to get the file size small enough. I read the post were it said to just delete the images from the library but it didn't replace anything with red shapes

I have two scenes on my flash file viz., Scene 1 and Scene 2.
I have created one nested button i.e., button inside the movieClip and one normal button as in the following code.
ActionScript Code:
jan_btn.onPress = function() {
gotoAndStop("Scene 2", 1);
}
[Code]....
The problem is the first button jan_btn works and it goes to Scene 2 when it is clicked. But the second nested one i.e., button inside the scroll_mc movieClip is not working.
I have kept jan to dec buttons inside scroll_mc movieclip (it will scroll) and kept on stage.
Why nested button i.e., button inside movie clip is not going to Scene 2 when it is clicked?

I have screen in which I have a button which sets the clip to lower quality, and I also have to have the mouse event in which when the mouse is clicked (anywhere on the screen), this sends you to a different frame (gotoAndStop). The problem is, when I click on the button, not only it does its function, but the mouse event also does. What I want to do basically is to disable the mouse event while pressing the button.

Ok... I have 2 scenes.... 1st scene is an intro menu with several movie clip symbols (let's call them buttons for all intents and purposes) that gotoAndPlay various sections of the 2nd scene when clicked ... The various buttons on this intro screen point to different frame numbers in the 2nd scene... button1 goes to frame 1 of scene 2... button 2 goes to frame 10 of scene 2.... button 3 goes to frame 20 of scene 2 and so on....
when I click the 1st button, it takes me to the 2nd scene at frame 1 and correctly shows me that page ... (all 2nd scene pages have a navigation bar at the top to access the other 2nd scene pages) ... when I click on a navigation button it takes me to the next page within the 2nd scene that I am looking for and each progresive page works correctly.

I'm been working on a script for a while, and am just about finished. It plays a movie onscreen based on where the cursor is, then when the left mouse is clicked, it plays a new movie and then writes a file.
It works when I test the scene withing Flash (the app). However, when I save it off as a .swf, and then open it in Flash player it does not. The mouse cursor is still playing a movie onscreen based on where the cursor is, but the left mouse button won't do anything, nor will it write a file.
Am I supposed to open an Actionscript 3/Air app somewhere else, not the Flash Player? I want to make this standalone, not have to be launched as a test scene inside Flash to work.

so I have some buttons that, as of right now, simply trigger the scene to move on while at the same time killing some particle effect animations I have spawning when the animation is idle. What I now need to do is make these events move on to a specific scene AFTER the rest of the scene's animation has played out (about 400 more frames) I'm figuring that the gotoAndPlay command has to be tied to some sort of timer variable that I would have to figure out based on my fps. Or maybe there is a way to set up a timer directly tied to a certain amount of frames allowed to go by. I'm pretty noob at actionscript, so keep that in mind. Here is the script at the point where the animation pauses to await user input on the buttons:

I'm trying break down a large Flash project into smaller swf's using a Loader :
stop();
var reqA:URLRequest = new URLRequest("New_Inro.swf");var loaderA:Loader = new Loader();
function imageLoadedA(event:Event):void { addChild(loaderA);} loaderA.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoadedA);loaderA.load(reqA);
Some of these swf files are animations which have code that states :
MovieClip(parent).gotoAndStop("frameThree");
The first loader works but I cannot get that swf to move on to the next frame(frameThree) to load the next swf file
Instead I get this message
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label frameThree not found in scene Scene 1. at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop() at New_Inro_fla::MainGuy_1/frame146()[New_Inro_fla.MainGuy_1::frame146:2 ]

I'm getting this error in the OUTPUT window, when I PREVIEW (COMMAND + RETURN) my SWF:
ArgumentError: Error #2109: Frame label nGallery_btn not found in scene Scene 1.
at flash.display::MovieClip/gotoAndStop()
at BrookBrovazMusic004_fla::MainTimeline/pageSelect()
- The funny thing is that the SWF works the way I want it to. You can view it here: http://brookbrovaz.com
- I just don't like the idea that something's wrong, according to the OUTPUT window anyway.

I've created a class which simulates an action for example a ball bouncing about a screen thus I'd create it like so:
Code:
var Ball1:ball = new ball(x,y);
How would I go about adding this to a loop, in a sense of every frame add another ball till you reach the maximum balls
currently after looking in help, google and forums this is all I could find
Code:
var ["Ball"+currentball]:ball = new ball(x,y);
but this doesn't seem to work and just causes
"**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=balls, frame=1:Line 15: Identifier expected"
