how to change the focus of movieclips and buttons when I press the arrow keys of the keyboard. Its kind like the tab navigation but with de arrows keys, in the four direcctions. This flash app i'm developing has to be handled 100% with the keyboard.

View 2 RepliesIs there a code for the tab key like works for the return key. I am using AIR to write to an excel file and need the values to go horizontally in different cells, and all i can do right now is use to get them to enter vertically. In all my searching I can only find articles about keyboard navigation regarding the tab key.

View 1 RepliesBelow is the working code I have for navigating a presentation composed of multiple scenes.It works by starting a listener that waits for key presses and then jumps to the scene where the letter that was pressed is present in the first frame of the scene.Example: Press the letter C and the presentation jumps to the scene where there is a frame marker with the uppercase letter C present.
ActionScript Code:
// Begin Keyboard Navigation
// This script goes to the frame/scene-frame labeled in a single uppercase letter.

I want to implement an Excel like keyboard (arrow) navigation in an Advanced Datagrid in Flex.The docu at [URL]states that arrow keys can be used to navigate around cells. However, in my case that does not work. I can only navigate rows up and down
When focus is on the AdvancedDataGrid control:
* Use the Left, Right, Up, and Down Arrow keys to move between cells.
* Use the Shift+Home and Shift+End keys to move to the first and last column in current row.
* Cells are only selected by default, they are not editable.
* Press the F2 key to make a cell editable.
I want to create an interface navigatable through keyboard. The interface is somewhat like nested DVD menus, and it is not known in advance how many buttons there will be or where they will be placed. So for example you would be on button 1, if you press right, the closest button to the right would be selected. how would I go about enabling this? The purpose is to enable keyboard navigation for complex management screens for a game I am doing;
I would like this to be as independant and reusable as possible, which means I would like it to work with any clickable object, not just buttons, and certainly not my own custom class of buttons. This also means the buttons might be placed through the flash IDE and so placing them on a grid is not an option (I'd like this to be easy to use for non-techies).
My thinking goes like this: add all buttons to a manager, then select the first one, then on keypress, triangulate and select the closest in an angle of (+45degrees,-45degrees) of direction pressed. But it seems overkill to me, and I guess in some edge cases, some buttons will be forever unselectable.
A 3*3 grid, consisting of 9 squares (0-0, 0-1, 0-2, 1-0, 1-1, 1-2, 2-0, 2-1, 2-2). I want to be able to navigate the grid using a keyboard by going up, down, left and right. If I hit the edge of the grid, I would like to "wrap" to the other side. This kind of menu is seen on games, mobile devices etc.
Does anyone have a good implementation of navigation algorithm (does not to be in AS3), rather something I can refer to?
I am developing a website completely on Flash, it has an option for Fullscreen as well as keyboard navigation to switch between slides. On windows, when i do fullscreen, everything works fine. On Mac machines, after full-screen the keyboard navigation script stops working. This is the script I am using for keyboard action. Is there any particular script for Macs too ?
on (keyPress "<Right>") {_parent.gotoAndStop(2);}
I recently stumbled upon a site called The Influence Project' which allows the user to control a infinite wall of photographs in space with the keyboard.tell me if there are any actionscript 3 libraries to build this kind of interface?
View 1 RepliesI am new to actionscript. I was trying to make a slide show frame by frame. I have my main timeline with the following code in first frame.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_changeSlide);
function fl_changeSlide(evt:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (evt.keyCode = 37) // LEFT{
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame-1);
}else if (evt.keyCode == 39 || evt.keyCode == 32){
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+1);
}}
In the third frame I am trying to load an external swf by clicking a button 'rrbutton' and unload the same when the user clicks left arrow.
var loadit = new Loader();
function ack(evt.keyboardEvent):void {
if(evt.keyCode == 37){
loadit.unloadAndStop();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_changeSlide);
[Code] .....
The external swf loads on clicking the button and unloads when left arrow is pressed and the main time line frame appears. But thereafter the keyboard navigation in the main timeline(through function fl_changeSlide) is not working properly.
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.

View 1 RepliesI'd like to have a function that tells a MovieClip to go to a specific frame and then in this frame, look for a scpecific tag in an XML file, based on the frame's label, and then take some text (a bunch of actually) that is in the XML node and put it on a TextField.
For example, clicking on a "Next Frame" button it will go to the next frame (which has a label "intro") of the movieclip and then search "content.xml" for the tag that contains the attribute name equal to "intro" and then put the content of the ".@TEXT" node into an empty TextField that is already positioned in this "intro" frame. Am I obligated to have the code in this specfic frame? I'm doing it because if I have too much text within textfields in an FLA file it becomes incredibly lagged and therefore impossible to work.
I've tried to use the event ENTER.FRAME to do that but it rendered the
SWF lagged and consomming way too much memory.
I have created a basic site with 7-8 pages which are each given their own label on the timeline. I have created a function called navigate which as the name suggests navigates to each page. This code works and does navigate to all pages within the site. But on only one page ( the last one on the timeline ) I get the error " TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at index_fla::MainTimeline/navigate() " I will also post the navigate function which is
// create function to react to the navigation listeners function navigate(evtObj:MouseEvent){//trace to show that button is identified when clicked trace("the "+evtObj.target.name+" button was clicked!") //go to the section clicked on gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name) //stop the video playback videos_mc.chili_player.stop();
} I have double checked all labels and instance names and the grammar and am pretty sure it is nothing to do with that.
