I tried catching the command key shortcuts using the keyDown event and checking for KeyboardEvent.ctrlKey, but the browser(Safari) seemed to have intercepted all those key events because the shortcuts I am trying to use coincides with the safari ones.

Are native browser shortcuts(e.g. CTRL+T opens new tab) enabled/disabled be default? How can I enable/disable them?
View 2 RepliesI have a Flash movie which fills the whole browser window. This means that always the key events are catched ("stolen") by the Flash movie only, when using Firefox. IE7 seems to be working as I want.
I want for example ctrl+w (close window), ctrl+n (new window), ctrl+t (new tab) to work in Firefox while the focus is on my Flash movie. How to accomplish this?
Well i have an adobe air which runs vlc-player at background as service. i check that in Windows Task Manager , the service runs when air application launches.
here is the code
processArgs.push("--extraintf");
processArgs.push("rc"); //Remote control
processArgs.push("--rc-fake-tty"); //Use terminal as output

View 2 RepliesI have an mx:Menubar, which I need to be able to open/expand based on the key pressed. For e.g., if Shift + R is pressed, it needs to open the 'Request' topmenu. Then if Shift + N is pressed, it should load the 'New request' module in the module loader. I've already implemented the MenuBar/module-loading functionality with the mouse, but I haven't been able to implement the keyboard shortcuts. I found a nice sample at [URL].
However, the solution directly performs the action (e.g. Shift + N to load the 'New request' module). The menu does not open/expand when you press the shortcut as though you had hovered your mouse over it (e.g. Shift + R to open/expand the 'Request' topmenu and then Shift + N to load the 'New request' module).
I have a flex app with lots of custom components, like custom buttons, comboBoxes etc. I am trying to add keyBoard shortcuts to the flex app. In doing so, I added a key-down listener to the app to listen for ctrl+shift key combination like this:
this.stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, handleKeyDown);
Then I dispatch a custom event that all of my custom components are listening for:
private function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
var evtObj:Object = new Object();
evtObj.keyEvent = event;
dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(CustomEvent.SHORTCUT_KEYS_PRESSED, evtObj, true, false));
}
In my custom button component I have:
this.addEventListener(CustomEvent.SHORTCUT_KEYS_PRESSED, ShortCutKeysHandler, true);
So, if I go ctrl+shift+W then I want one instance of the custom button to get clicked. For some reason, the event never gets triggered and never gets to the ShortCutKeysHandler function.
I have a quite large Flex application with a large set of views and I ceratain views I'd like to add shortcuts. And i'm looking for something like:
<mx:Vbox>
<foo:Shortcut keys="ctrl+s" action="{bar();}"/>
</mx:VBox>
Is there any framwork or component already done that does something like this? I guess it should be too difficult to build? When building this I only want the shortcuts to be active when the view is visible. How do I detect this? What base class is best to inherit from when working with non visual components?
close w browser window from within the movie, on a button click. I have read zillions of posts and threads, including old stuff dating since 2000 and nothing seems to work.
Code: Select allgetURL("javascript:CloseWindow();");
and tried to "translate" to AS3, doesn't work. Tried to use fscommand "quit", but just got totally lost. The best I did is being able to close SWF when it plays alone, but it doesn't work when it is embedded in HTML.....
I just always thought it would be nice that if people pushed a button and the pop up inside of flash centered from the browser window as the refrence point instead of stage or an object
View 1 RepliesI am using this command to close a window in flash ms 2004:
Code:
MyButton.onRelease = function ()

getURL("javascript:window.close();");

But when , I click the button that executes this command, it prompts a window asking me if I'm sure I want to close the browser. How can I eleminate this prompt?

The flashplayer catches all keys pressed by the user. I'd like to know if there's a way or workaround to pass them to the browser. For instance, Ctrl-T (open new tab in firefox). I'd like to re-enable this shortcut. Maybe with javascript?
View 1 Repliesin other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and press Send or otherwise activate it. That's NOT what I am trying to do here in reality (i.e., no,I am not trying to spam other people's chat rooms or anything)but just an illustration of a similar situation.I can include in it whatever widget or hack that may be necessary.The reason why this problem is arising for me is that AFAIK the SDK that is providing me the data I want cannot be directly accessed from Flash, so I need a way to pipe the data from a regular app into Flash. can I have the Flash app interact with other apps through localhost IP? Or are there draconian restrictions on which server Flash in browser can and cannot interact?
View 1 RepliesThe title essentially is the question, how do I open the .swf without the browser's control bar junk? and maximize the window?
View 2 RepliesOK, this is starting to annoy me pretty intensely. For some reason the esc key shortcuts are not functioning, and nothing I do seems to be able to restore them. Even ticking the 'Esc Key Shortcuts' option in the actions panel dropdown menu has falied to make it possible for me to do as much as type 'esc-s-t' to bring up 'stop()'
View 2 RepliesI just recently switched from FLASH 8 to FLASH CS3 and noticed that by default, when working at the "Actionscript" window, I can no longer do shortcuts with keyboards. One good example is before at F8, if I want to add STOP to a keyframe, all I need to do is pre ESC then "S" and "T".
View 1 RepliesI'd like to be able to write a .swf file that is runnable as a command line app. In other words, I would be able to create actionscript classes which can interact with stdin and stdout, and could then execute that .swf directly in the command line. I suspect that this isn't really possible. Can anyone confirm that? EDIT: A couple of the answers pointed out that using Flash for command line work probably isn't the best choice. I wholeheartedly agree in most situations. The reason I am asking about this is because I want to do some AS3 code generation, and reflecting on AS3 classes within the runtime would be easier than parsing the code or walking the intermediary XML that asdoc produces. I'm doing the XML approach now in Ruby, but would love to have a cleaner solution!

I know thats not the intended use of the framework, but I have a lot of utility code written in as3, and I have a need to programatically run some utility functions from another app (not flash). I know I can pass command line parameters to the Air app, but I would like to avoid having a window pop up while the calculations are being made.

View 14 RepliesI have made an animation and a pause/play button within it using [code]...
However, as there are lots of movie clips in my animation, the pause button doesn't pause these or the music. Does anyone know of any software you can download that has prebuilt movie controllers for SWF movies that would let the user pause/play/mute it. Or if anyone can advise me if there is a relatively simple way I can tell the animation to stop playing all movies and sound when the pause button is pressed.
My keyboard shortcuts have quit working. I'm not talking custom shortcuts that I have defined. The default Flash shortcuts just don't work anymore.Before anyone asks, yes, I have made sure the "Disable keyboard shortcuts" option is turned off. I'm running Flash CS4 on a Windows XP pro machine.
View 2 RepliesI'm teaching a class for Flash CS3 on the Mac to about 24 students. I've been using Flash in Windows for a long time, but it's been awhile since I worked on a Mac.Our classroom has about 24 iMacs running the latest OS X (not sure exactly which version). Several Flash keyboard shortcuts don't work -- shortcuts that I use a lot, like F8 to convert to symbol.I was able to successfully disable the goofy Mac search feature that takes over another common Adobe shortcut that I use a lot (CMD-Space, in Flash/Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign it allows you to temporarily access the zoom tool). In the System Prefs control panel, there was a shortcut for F8 for some other system feature, but even with that disabled, the shortcut still doesn't work in Flash.
Another strange thing that's happening with most of these Macs: the Properties panel popup for creating a tween doesn't work. Applying a tween in other ways --- the Insert menu, CTRL-clicking and choosing from the popup menu -- works fine. If a tween is applied with the properties panel, the tween appears as broken (dashed line) in the Timeline.
I would love to backup my Flash CS4 keyboard shortcuts, but I could not find the file anywhere on my harddrive. I searched for every *.WFX file (or at least that was the right file type for older versions of Flash). I even tried to make an advanced search for all files on my PC and sort them by date modified, right after I made some changes in Flashes keyboard shortcuts - hoping that I would find the file, but haven't.
View 2 RepliesI'm assuming the answer to my question is "no" but figure it's worth asking just in caseI'm mostly an AS3 coder, but I need to work on library assets quite often to set classnames on assets so they can be instantiated through code. This usually involves hunting through the Library for the asset I need, then giving it a new name, clicking the tiny little "info" icon at the bottom of the window to bring up the Properties panel for the library item, and assigning a class name etc.
My problem is bringing up the Properties panel is not as quick and simple as it should be. That "info" icon really is tiny, and right-clicking the item in the library and scrolling through it to get to the "Properties" item is fiddly and error prone.What I really want is a keyboard shortcut. There doesn't seem to be one, and I can't assign one in the otherwise excellent Keyboard Shortcuts... menu item since Library commands are not listed there. It is not even a menu item so I can't even trigger it with applescript.
I am writing an AIR application in Flex. The application needs to be able to handle shortcuts on both Mac and Windows. I have the shortcuts on the Windows side working, but the same application on a Mac doesnt seem to trigger the commandKey property on a Keyboard event when the user is also using another key in combination (ex. command+g doesnt work)
View 2 RepliesI understand that in Flex builder we can right click on a CSS file and choose 'compile to swf' and our CSS SWFs will automatically be compiled along with the main app.Is possible to compile the CSS file only (not with the main app) from the command line?Give clients a Flex CSS file to hand edit.Allow them to upload the file via a CMS.Trigger a server process to run the compiler from the command line, outputting the compiled SWF to the appropriate server path.This would of course be a whole lot simpler if Flex properly supported text-based CSS files (without requiring manually applying styles using AS3).
