Since flash doesn't allow keyboard input while in fullscreen mode I'm wondering if there is a workaround to that?
I have a flash that is going to run fullscreen in a browser and needs different kinds of keyboard input. I have read something about AIR, but I don't fully understand it and would like another way if thats even possible.
Says this is only possible in AIR in the livedocs - anyone know if there is a workaround for Flash? Using Javascript perhaps?
View 6 RepliesI discovered when a swf is fullscreen all keyboard entry is disabled for security reasons. Anyone know of a workaround so my clients can use the "gotoScreen" function?
View 1 RepliesI know that adobe has blocked the keyboard input in fullscreen mode. But, is there any other way to implement that.
View 2 RepliesLimited FullScreen keyboard access Everyone is talking about the new Flash Player 10 features that you can have limited keyboard access while you are in fullscreen. But nobody publish the code for this. I'm using the regular onKeyDown function in AS2 and this is not working. Does someone know if we can have this limited keyboard access in AS2?
This is my code (that work in normal state but not in fullscreen mode):

Adobe Flash Player 10 Whether or not you want to make a game or a video player with keyboard shortcuts, the restriction of keyboard support in fullScreen has been an annoyance to a lot of developers. The restriction was placed there because of heightened possibilities of malicious attacks while in fullScreen mode such as password phishing.In Flash Player 10 we are easing this restriction to allow non-printing keys to be used while in fullScreen. Non-printing keys are arrows, space, shift, tab and similar keys that can�t be used to provide private information. These keys are very important however to let users do many types of selection and gameplay inputs.
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 have a keyboard.enter working in my flash movie, meaning when i hit the ENTER key my listener function is fired. But when i switch to fullscreen mode the Keyboar.enter event is not captured by my listener anymore.

View 6 RepliesI am new to Flash and this forum, so please excuse what will hopefully be a simple question.I am using Flash to build an interactive video kiosk for a museum that will be playing on a MacMini. it possible to create buttons or "scripts" that can be controlled with keystrokes? For example when you press "K" an embedded video will start playing. Or if you press "D", you could go back to the main menu? I am trying to make it so you can interact with flash via push-buttons, as opposed to moving a cursor over virtual buttons. Is this possible? would normally do this in DVD Studio Pro, but the sheer number of videos will not work in a single DVD project, so Flash is the only option I can think of. As a DVD it works great because I can use the arrow keys to navigate, and the enter key to choose a selection.

I have in a previous project published a game as a standalone app and run it full screen. It would allow users to put their info in for high scores.
Now i am working on another game that will be published as a standalone app. It will need to be full screen and have an entry form at the end for high scores. It does not seem to allow the keyboard to enter text in an input box. Is this true?
Note, this is not an swf played through a browser, but an actual .exe generated from Flash CS5. If this is true, is there a workaround. I need if full screen with keyboard input.
I cannot get it to use my KeyboardEvent listener. I did find another post very similar however the fixes didn't work for me, or I am implementing them wrong. My code is as follows:

I want to monitor each charachter in a text box when a user inputs, eg. there name. If they type John, I want an image to dislplay J . o . h. n under the text box. I cannot seem to figure out how to monitor each letter individually. I could only get it working if i use seperate input boxes, so a input box for j, o, h & n as an example.Could someone point me in the right direrection. Here is the code Im trying to use at the moment.
Code:

I wanted to know how can I make my on screen keyboard type in to a text box. I want my keyboard which I have designed , when a letter is clicked I want it to display the letter in the text box. Note this is not a full keyboad its only the letter. Image attached of the keyboard and text box.
View 6 Repliescan't figure out why the keyboard input isn't working. I got this warning, but I always get that warning and it always works. The warning says:Warning: 1090: Migration issue: The onKeyDown event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ( 'keyDown', callback_handler).

View 3 RepliesI'm going true the AS Programming 3 manual and the [URL] example doesn't work. The authoring environment gets the focus. You can tel because you see the toolbar changing the selected tool as

I have some AS2 code for responding to keyboard input - it was great because it added friction, thrust, gravity etc... ie: it made the movements very real and added playability which is key in engaging players. On passing it into classes for OOP I don't seem to have got it right. maybe somebody knows a nice tutorial for the same.It was Emanuel Feronato's tut in AS2

Is there some other simple method to redirect mouse/keyboard input from one object to an object behind it. I have used mouseEnabled = false where the object in front is only a UIComponent and it works. However mouseEnabled,mouseChildren=false is not working for an SWFLoader.
View 1 RepliesI an trying to capture keyboard and mouse events for square area on my UI, represented by Sprite. The mouse capture works, the keyboard capture doesn't work at all:
[code]...
I never see reportKeyDown executed, even though Sprite object has a focus.
found only one thing that seemed to be on the lines of what I am having issues with:
stage.focus = this;
My problem: The the flash app I am working on, some of the controls are done with the keyboard. At certain points, you need to click on an on screen button to continue. When I do this, it seems the focus is lost from where it was, and I can no long use keyboard actions (such as the spacebar KeyboardEvent that works prior to clicking the mouse)
I will admit that I am a newcomer to Flash (only played with it for about a month now), and I don't know much about the focus stuff. Basically, I want to know how to set the focus back to where it was after the buttons are clicked.
I know i've seen something about this before many times on the web, but i just cant seem to find it right now when i need it.[code]...
What is the code that will make it so there is no pause and it continuously spams the hello from the second the key is pressed until it is up?

I tried these browsers on Mac: Safari, Firefox, Omniweb, Opera. And it works like a charm for them. The bug is only on Google Chrome Mac.
I also tried on Windows with IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome. No bug either for them on Windows.
I've read on the Internet other people on Linux have the same bug sometimes (again, it's just for a couple of browsers and never all the browsers on their platform). I hope I don't have to tell my users to trick with their OS configuration. It's our job to make our apps to fit the visitor, not theirs!
A special configuration to do (compatibility mode with older Flash version 8, 9, something like that?)...
I am making a game and I have run into a problem where I need to reclick on the game with the mouse for it to recognize keyboard input. I know having to click on the flash game once is normal, but whenever my game restarts (goes to the first level) I have to reclick on it or they keyboard input does not work. How do I resolve this? Is there a way to request the attention of the keyboard or something?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a game that involves some timed animations and I need to fire a kind of 'failed' event.Basically I'm moving a clip from one point to another on the stage, the user has to input a correct key combination before the endpoint. I'm capturing the inputs correctly, but I need a default procedure to fire if the player doesn't input anything at all.So I'm guessing that at the endpoint I could check if my function to capture the key inputs was actually called, and if not, call the 'failed' procedure, or if at the endpoint, no keys were pressed, do the same
