ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent Multiple Key Press?
Jan 30, 2007The keyCode property only stores one Key. This means that, if I was making a game for example and wanted to have it so that if the up key and the left key were pressed it would move up and left at the same time.I've tried extending the keyboardEvent class and storing the keyCodes in an array, but It returns an error.Here's my class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Stage - KeyboardEvent - When The Game Ends And I Press Restart, The SPACE Key Is Not Working?
Dec 17, 2009The problem is: when the game starts, "SPACE BAR" is working fine and changes the game from day to night. When the game ends and I press restart, the SPACE key is not working. On the third time it works, on the fourth not and it follows that way. Every second time that I play the game, the SPACE key doesn't work.
The game initializes the player and sends him as a parameter a stage object and the player listens for KEY_UP.When I press restart, the game runs the init() function again.Below there are the Game.as and Player.as classes.
Code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent - Kind Of New?
Nov 19, 2009Alright I'm new to Keyboard event listeners so I might be making a really obvious mistake that I don't know about. But what I want to do is, when someone types the letters for the word 'BROTHER', then it appears on the screen and it moves to the next frame. Here's the code I have atm I currently have the letters for 'BROTHER' each as a movie clip. The instance names are, RKey, OKey, etc.
[code]...
Now, is this the only mistake in my thing? Or are there more mistakes? How do I fix it?

ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP Sometimes Not Registering?
May 18, 2011I'm using very basic code to move an object around the stage using keys on the keyboard (W,A,S,D). However, I have noticed at times when the CPU hiccups, flash does not register that a key was released and in turn my object keeps moving in a direction without any keys pressed. The only way to stop the object from moving is to press the key corresponding to the direction the object is moving.

ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent Is Not Dispatching Event?
Feb 16, 2011I´m making a game.This game has 4 frames.It has a preloader.swf and game.swf.The preloader.swf loads the game.swf.The game.swf has 4 frames.In the first frame is given to the user the options to play the game (clicking a button "playGame" on "click" event) and to set the sounds settings (clicking a button "options" on "click" event).So far so good.
When the user clicks "playGame" I send the user to frame 2, where it has the option to select a game level using the arrow keys. So within the playGameListener I registered two keyboard events one for KEY_UP and another for KEY_DOWN. So, to have sure that it´s working, I added a trace for each keyboard event listener. But I´m not getting any message in the output window while pressing
left arrow or right arrow or any arrow.
So I learned that KeyboardEvent only dispatches an event if the flash player has focus.Well I think the flash player has never losed focus in this process.I´ve registered two events for Event.ACTIVATE and Event.DEACTIVATE and inside its listeners I added a trace with a message. Flash outputs me a message if I minimize the flash player window or if I maximize the flash player,but not while the game.swf´s frame transition.The listeners for the KeyboardEvent works only when I press at the flash player, then I receive the messages from the KeyboardEvent listeners.
ActionScript 3 :: Flash - KeyboardEvent Not Firing?
Nov 4, 2010I'm new to ActionScript development and am using the FlashDevelop IDE. I've been playing around with some really simplistic things and have come across a problem I can't seem to solve.My application compiles and runs, and a function that watches click events fires perfectly and I can see the event in the console when I pass it to trace(), yet the same code watching for KeyboardEvent fails to fire at all.Here's my code:
package GameTesting
{
import flash.display.Bitmap;[code]............
The MouseEvent trace() fires every time as expected, but KeyboardEvent never fires, no matter what key I press.
Actionscript 3 :: KeyboardEvent Only Works After MouseEvent?
Nov 10, 2011Ok, so I am creating a slideshow presentation in Flash CS5. The code is very basic, however it does not work as intended. It's supposed to go to the next frame if i press a button, or press up/right arrow on the keyboard. However, the keyboard only works after I've pressed a button once.
my code:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
slides.stop();
[Code]....
slides is a movieclip, where I've stored all my slides (Oh, by the way, I know my setup isn't the best, but I wouldn't use a lot of time on it, as it's for a religion class). FB is forward button, and you can guess what BB is..
Actionscript 3 :: Flash - What Does The Parameter 'e' Do In E:KeyboardEvent

EDIT: If A method takes the parameter (e:KeyboardEvent). what information could we access through the use of the parameter e?
ActionScript 3.0 :: KeyboardEvent Not Registered Properly?
Jul 18, 2011I have a problem with a game I am working on which where keyboard events do not get registered properly. Here is my setup.I have four frames in the main FLA.1) main menu
2) instructions movie clilp3) game movie clip4) game over movie clipThe game is basically a racing game. Once the game class initiates (3rd frame) I create an instance of the car class and place it on the track. I listen to the keyboard KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN events in the car class. The problem is once I click the START button everything works fine except the keyboard event listeners. They do not get registered unless I click on the stage once. Here is the constructor and init() from my car class.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Greatest 'keyCode' Value For KeyboardEvent
Jan 7, 2011Does anyone know the greatest possible value the "keyCode" property will return?I'm mostly worried about international keyboards.I'm wanting to release a few KeyboardEvents myself using some rather nifty code (if I may say so myself) and want to make sure there are no future conflicts.Each of my "special keys" have a unique id numbered sequentially. Is there anywhere I can start my numbering from where I can be safe from conflicting key codes?

Feb 6, 2010I have a keyboardEvent which listens for pressed keys. I also have a NumericStepper. If I change the value in the NumericStepper, the keyboardEvent stops working (I think the reason is that the textField in the numericStepper, or the numericStepper itself, gets active). So, I've tried alot of things.
numericstepper.textField.enabled = false
numericstepper.textField.selectable = false
numericstepper.textField.editable = false etc...

ActionScript 3.0 :: Delay Before KeyboardEvent Listeners Work
Oct 9, 2010In this script, I'm moving a sprite on the stage up and down using the keyboard. Works fine, except that there is a long delay after the SWF file has loaded until the key presses are registered and the sprite moves.
It takes about 5 seconds after I open the SWF file before the movement works.
