When it starts, I switch tab to nr.2 (default is tab 1). I need to be able to hold down spacebar and drag the mouse to pan, but when I do this it switches back to the first tab. So the spacebar is triggering it to switch. I've tried using a custom lass that extends tabNavigator, like the code below, but it's not working. Also tried setting focusEnabled = false without luck.

For a project, I'm making an interactive side scroller.You move the character with the arrow keys and press the space bar to interact with things.So far, I followed DexNote's tutorial on YouTube.I thought that I would make the interactable objects as buttons, while the mouse focus would be on the character and when you press the space bar it make a mouse click in that area.The trouble I'm having now is that I don't know how to make the space bar trigger the "interactions."

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to code the space bar key as a pause/play function in my flv player. I'm using Lee Brimlow's flv player tutorial as a model for my flv player so essentially it's driven via netstream coding. I've tried two different codes, code 1 being something I used a while back on another project and code 2 something I've been trying (hoping) would work better.
Code:

I've been posting a few things about input and dynamic text in Flash on here I know, but this one has just got me stumped. Do input text fields not recognize the spacebar? I was typing in my input text field in my movie, and noticed I couldn't add space between words.Any way to work around this, or is my little brain just missing something again?
View 1 RepliesIm making a rock band 2 drum style game and i've come across a problem. Whenever theres 2+ notes together, all i have to do is hold down the button ( in this case space ) and it hits both of them without any penalty (which i havnt come across yet). But what i would liek it to do is that when u come across these notes you have to release space then press it again or else the note wont hit. Here is the code i am currently using.
onClipEvent(enterFrame){if(_root.hitspace.hitTest(this)&&(Key.isDown(key.SPACE))){ _root.score+=50; _root.streak+=1; unloadMovie(this)}if(_root.spacehitbad.hitTest(this)){ _root.score-=50; _root.streak=0; unloadMovie(this)}}
Where hitspace is the part where the note has to come in contact with when u hit the note. and spacehitbad is the back where if the note hits that it means you have missed the note.
I am very new to flash and am putting together a simple presentation at work. When I save out my .swf file I have to press cmd+p to play the movie.

View 13 RepliesI'm going to by chance include a message I sent out to a colleague in the off-chance someone also has a solution to it, but it also pertains to my issue. Skip to the bolded part below for just the question I have.I've been tasked with converting a Powerpoint presentation into a Flash presentation. I was considering manually doing it, but it seems like it would take an awful long time (240 slides, with videos and animations) - plus I don't know how to export the animations on individual slides over to Flash other than recreating them entirely.
I found a handful of programs on the Web that advertise that they will convert PPT to Flash (swf) and I tried a few to see which if any I should purchase. All of them had issues. Some either didn't run entirely or the end result was graphically ugly, videos weren't carried over (a problem I could easily rectify if the thing was an FLA where I could add videos back in that way), or animations were either mangled or ignored completely.how best tackle this challenge?Okay, so I basically started to just recreate the entire thing in Flash, using PrtScrn for backgrounds after deleting objects (then pasting in Photoshop and exporting as a PNG-24), as well as copying graphics into Photoshop as well to export as PNGs. No idea what to do about animations yet. Videos I can add back manually.
But anyways, as I do this, the movie is automatically advancing through every frame when I preview. I'm not sure how to go about setting up my Flash so that it only goes to the next frame when someone either presses the mouse button or the spacebar (either would be fine, I think).So that's my main focus at the moment. The other stuff is definitely part of the whole deal, but my main question is:ow do I set up Flash so that it only advances to the next frame when a mouse button or spacebar is pushed?
I want a symbol (instance name: "bullet") to appear at the same x and y where another symbol ("this" symbol, the symbol the code is attached to) is when the spacebar is pushed, but only if "bullet" is off-screen. I tried the following code, but "bullet" doesn't appear on top of the other symbol ("this") when I push the spacebar:
Code:
if (Key.isDown (Key.SPACE) ) { //space key is down
if(_root.bullet._y<0) { //checks to see if "bullet" is off the screen
bullet._x=this._y //sets "bullet"'s x to "this" x

I am putting together a Flash Form. I had it all finished and posted it on a testing site, then I realized there was a problem.I have form validation that works like this. If a user hits the submit button but has not entered information in all of the required fields, the user will get an error message telling them to input all required information. However, there is a workaround. It seems that Flash sees the value of the "spacebar" as a positive value and lets users get past my validation.I need to assign the "spacebar" a value, make it a variable, or something along those lines. Then tell it to be equal to "0", which is not an acceptable number to pass my form validation.

View 1 RepliesI need to have a swf playback be stopped at launch, but pressing spacebar starts playback. Pressing space bar again before the end is reached will pause playback until it is pressed a second time.When the end is reached, I need to pause on the last frame. Only pressing the spacebar again will cause the the animation to goto the first frame (essentially resetting the animation).I am using the following actionscript, but it takes three spacebar presses to get the animation to replay once the end is reached.[code]
View 1 RepliesI have been searching all morning and cannot find a solution to this. I have a 60MB SWF published from Camtasia and I would like to add the ability to pause/play the clip using spacebar. The file is too big to import into the library (Flash CS5) or at least I assume so because it keeps crashing when I try. So I thought I would create a new flash movie and have it just reference the clip externally. I have tried a couple methods each are resulting in different errors.

I have this standing person (its a MC) and another MC that is the same person but in a jumping position. And the thing is that I want that jumping person to appear when the Space bar is hit, and the standing person to disappear. But when the space bar is released the jumping person disappears and the standing reapers. I know it has to be an if statement, but I'm not sure do I addChild, cause both of these MC are strings on the same timeline.

View 2 RepliesI am making a simple word processing widget, like this one: [URL] for my kindergarten classroom.
The problem is that the embedded font does not use a lined space when you hit the space bar. It makes a space. The lined space is created by hitting the "" key --just above enter. I have been trying to use a key listener to add the lined space to the text box when you hit the space bar. It works, only it also gives you the "space" created by the space bar.
Basically, on the stage is an input text box (myTextbox) with the font embedded. Here is my script:
Code:
stop();
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
makeSpace = function() {;
[Code]....
Is there a way to remove the space from the text before adding the lined space?

I have figured out how to duck out of enemy site. I need to know if i can have two layers running the same thing at the same time, but only one is viewed and you use the spacebar to switch between the ones being viewed. For example one layer is a person ducked behind a box and getting shot at and the other is a person standing in the open getting shot at, to switch from the ducked to the standing you have to use the spacebar. Is this possible?
