I know how to make the mouse event work. I know how to make the keypress event work. Now what I can't figure out is how to make one button respond to both keypress and/or mousevent. In other words, a button that you can click or press "enter" for it to work.
This seems really basic but on googling all I can find is basic "how to do a keypress" stuff.
I'm making a screensaver which includes a game, when the .swf file is converted to screensaver format the only way to exit is to press Escape.
I was wondering if there is any way to simulate a keypress (Escape) when the user clicks a button so that I can also have Exit buttons?
While creating an application, I ran into a unique question. I did some research and understand KeyboardEvent and MouseEvent separately, but how would I code them to be dependent on each other?
Let's say I have a button. When you click this button, a number in a dynamic textbox will increment. If you were to be holding Ctrl, however, the number would decrement.
ive started a game in as3 and everything has been going smooth. got my character running around. have an array set up with all different types of variables inside for different things like floor, walls, doors, etc etc. theres only a couple things i want to clean up before adding npc's. im having a problem with my jump function. basically, i have my keypress' set up in booleans and its working A OK. But the problem is when u hold the jump key the function keeps running over and over. I tried the obvious by adding the function to an if statement to just the keypress and not the boolean but it makes the function only run partially and leaves the character floating in the air until you hold the key down long enough for the character to land again. so basically i need the function the run all the way through and stop and wait for another keypress so even if you hold the jump key, the character will only jump once.
i think i may have to create something other than a boolean. or maybe a class with a timer that is called on the keypress. am i even close?
I know this sounds really simple, but is there any way I can implement a key press to a function, I know this is wrong, but you've got an idea then:butmute.keyPress("m") = function {
View 2 RepliesI need to send a keypress to the operating system programatically. Can a KeyboardEvent be activated programmatically? And if it can, does it send the keypress to the OS, or is it contained within the application?
View 2 RepliesI have a button labeled 'blueButton' and I'd like to use an anonymous function to handle the click, like so:
blueButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, function(event:MouseEvent):void {
trace( "-----click detected-----" );
// now do other stuff
});
Problem is, the click handler is called multiple times per click. The number of times called seems to be random (sometimes 2, sometimes 4, sometimes 3 etc). could I be missing something in my code, or maybe I set up the button wrong?
also I noticed that it seems to always get called once on the first click. After the first click is when it starts getting called additional times, maybe that has something to do with it?
I created a movieclip animation that only activates when i rollover the movieclip button. I further extended the frames and created another frame animation that i active only when user clicks the button. So i have a roll over/out animation and click animation in the same movieclip in the same layer. Now the problem is that when i click on the button, its supposed to take me to another page, and it does, unfortunately without the click animation. That means after i click on the button its supposed to first finish the click animation and then go to another page. But when i click, it takes me to another page without showing the click animation
SO I tried the If function, but i seem to make a mistake somewhere and i dont know what to do. Now there is no error in script, but onw there is a problem in link, the button finishes the click animation but it does not go to the tarrgeted"about" frame. here's the code

I'm doing a basic site with frame labels on the main timeline whose name corresponds to the btn names. A simple otoAndPlay(evt.target.name); I have a basic navigation setup of 7 mcs with mouse eventlisteners for CLICK, ROLL_OVER and ROLL_OUT.
Example:
prepare.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);plans.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, navigate);retire.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
[Code]....
Does anyone know a better way to do this so when my mcs are clicked they display the rollover content/art? In essence I'm trying to achieve that when the user clicks a btn it goes to that "page" and the corresponding btn stays highlighted. Pretty standard web navigation technique but I just don't know what the best way to do this in flash is and with how my site is setup.
i have a movie clip which loads on the click of a button, on second click i need it to unload. I tried writing this code, but it doesn't seem to work:
ActionScript Code:
naujienos_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, naujienosClick);
function naujienosClick(e:MouseEvent):void{
[code]....
I created what I though was a pretty simple function for a mouse event listener. The funtion goes to a frame in the current movie clip as well as the parent movie clip. For some reason however the first time you click the button, it only effects the parent movie clip. When you click on it the second time, both movie clips are effected. Here is the script,

View 6 RepliesI am still new to swish and flash and the script confuses me at times. I am doing it more for a hobby and to create interactive programs for my daughter to help her learn. I have made a parking ticket machine to help her tell the time and to count money. The problem I am having at the moment is that I am trying to make one button add 30seconds to a text box total every time it is clicked (for example click1 = 00:30, then click2 = 01:00, then click3 = 01:30 and so on). The problem I am having is that I have made an else/if statement to do just this but every time I click the button it just jumps to the last else/if and shows that total. I am trying to think logically but I may be making things more complicated or maybe the scripting is wrong and I need to try something else. Here is the script I have made for you to see and hopefully someone can tell me what I have done wrong.

I have a button to increase the scale of few items. It's suppose to increase the size with every single click. When I click the button continuously having the mouse unmoved and over, it wont increase the size. But if I rool out of the button between every click, then I works. I need to make button function with every click.
CURRENT CODE:
on (press) {
if(this._root.gmb_mc.rotate_mc3a._width <= 50){
this._root.gmb_mc.rotate_mc3a._xscale += 7;
this._root.gmb_mc.rotate_mc3a._yscale += 7;
}}

my client (Who uses Firefox, on a PC) has to click on the button twice to view the PDF. The first time they click on the button, they have to close the blank window that pops up and then click on the Flash button again to view the PDF. It opens fine the second time. Is this just a PC problem? On my Mac (Safari) it works fine, but (Firefox) seems to want to save the document before I can view it.
i have a datagrid which contained several items,when i click one row, a panel will show,however, if i have already selected one row and then click some blank place, this panel will also show because there is already a selecteditem,which will be a problem. Then i change this click event to change event, however, there will be another problem, which is if i click the same row, nothing will happend. so is there any better idea when i click a row, a panel shows and when i click the blank place, nothing happened.

I'm trying to start a function from within a click handler that is being triggered when I load some XML, just like this:
Code:

startImgSlider();
} function startImgSlider():void {
trace("ok, now you reached 'startImgSlider()' function !!!");
}
The problem is that I cannot reach the startImgSlider() function with the code above. How to do it right. Has something to do with the scopes?

I have a weird issue with actionscript 3.0 and I wanted to see if anyone knows what might be going on.I create a UILoader in the root layer. Then on a button click, I set it's properties and once it's loaded, I set the size and all that. It works fine.Then I try to instantiate the UILoader in the button click method and the picture loads up enormous. It never happens when I instantiate the root layer. It always happens when I instantiate it in the button click method.The code is below. Does anyone know why it would do this? I traced all the properties I could think of (xscale, yscale, height, width for both the containing movieclip and the UILoader and they are the same regardless of where it's instantiated
var myStage:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
var stageItem:UILoader = new UILoader();

I have had a look at this link:And this is exactly what I need to be able to click on an image wrapped in an <a> tag which comes from my XML content.I have added my image, added the <a> tag to the image and when I fire it up in AS2 and mouse over the image, the mouse cursor changes to the hand as is meant to.I've added my function, which when clicked on, should call a trace to check that it's working and it's not happening and no doubt it has something to do with the path of where my function sits. I have moved this around now to several places without any joy.If I test this on the root, in a simple scenario, it works. My page however sits on the 6th frame of the root timeline and this is where I believe things are going wrong.

This will work:
Code:
addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar);
function addCar(evt:MouseEvent)
{
[code]...
... but I want to pass the a value when calling the function:
Code:
addVolvo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addCar(classVolvo));
function addCar(evt:MouseEvent, newClass:Class)
{
var car1:Car = new Car( 1, 1, classVolvo)
[code]...
This won't work. Because it then just passes the Class and not the MouseEvent. What should I write in the addCar(...) call function? Ie how to I manually pass an MouseEvent?
