Actionscript :: Recognize Button Presses In It

Nov 4, 2011

In a mini flash game, I have a few different level select buttons, and they all attach to one "levelChange()" function, and I'm just wondering if there is an attribute that stores which button was pressed or how to determine which was pressed if not.

ActionScript 2.0 :: [FMX] When The Squares Come To An Hold There Is A Little Gap Between Them Underneath The Button That Was Presses And The Button Is Going 20 Pixels Down Into That Gap?

Apr 15, 2004

I'm making a menu. It consist of three mc's (btn1, btn2 and btn3) and two squares The two squares rescale horizontal in different directions depending on the button that is presses. When the squares come to an hold there is a little gap between them underneath the button that was presses and the button is going 20 pixels down into that gap. Below is the code I have used:

Code:
MovieClip.prototype.yPos = function(y){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._y += (y - this._y)/3;

[code]....

When the movie starts everything is fine. First the two squares are rescaling. When that is done the buttons are fading in and finaly btn1 is going 20 pixels down in to the gap. But what I would like to accomplish now is that when btn2 is pressed that first btn1 is going back up again when that is done that the two squares are rescaling untill the gap is below btn2 and that after that btn 2 is going down 20 pixels.

And that is where I have problems. Point one when I don't know how to integrate a if (if used) in the button event, so everything is going to move at the same time(btn2 already moves before the squares are in place and the squares are already moving before btn1 is back up again) and secondly the way I have it now btn1 is indeed moving back up again, but after that its up it also going back down again.

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Count Button Presses

Basically, I want to create a button (Instance Name: blueSquare). Each time the button is pressed, I want actionscript to "count" each button press (the maximum is 100 presses). When the number reaches 100 presses, I would like a new button to appear next to it ( Instance Name: redCirlce).

ActionScript 2.0 :: Dynamic Menus And Button Presses?

Sep 8, 2005

I have worked on one which I am almost happy with but there are things wrong with it. (if anyone has any good tutorials or FLAs on this that would be great).
But my main problem is now simply just having a button so when you rollover it, it changes colour and when you click it it stays on that colour so you can see which button is currently active. How do people go about scripting buttons to work properly like this? I have this code but it runs into too many problems...

var my_color:Color = new Color(this);
my_color.setRGB(0x000000);

ActionScript 2.0 :: Keeping Track Of 4 Button Presses

Jan 14, 2009

I'm attempting to create a few very simple flash games, but I haven't been able to figure out the coding. What I am attempting is to have 4 buttons each activated on a different keypress. Each time a user presses one of the keys, a specific animation is triggered, showing that the key was pressed. What I need to know is- how do I have flash trigger a final animation when all four keys have been pressed?

I tried making a set of dynamic text boxes that would change text, one for each button. I figured flash could run a simple string check (like in the basic password tutorial here) and if they all proved true it could goto and play the next scene or another MC. BUT- It seems to only check at the beginning of the movie, and if I attached it to onEnterFrame, Flash would have a cow about my syntax!

ActionScript 2.0 :: OnRelease Function To Cancel Out The Other Functions Once The User Presses The Button

Jun 22, 2006

I have a MovieClip with 3 functions to act as a button - onRollover, onRollout, onRelease. I want the onRelease function to cancel out the other functions once the user presses the button.

How would I script that?

Code:
navMenu1.onRollOver = function() {
_parent.jumpTobg1X(2);
this.gotoAndPlay("over");

[Code]...

Basically, I have the function sliding another movieclip along the x axis. onRelease it slide to position 3 - which I want it to stay there, but my onRollout function keeps sliding it back to position 2 (which i need for users just browsing the navigation before a selection is made)

ActionScript 3.0 :: Recognize A Mouseout Event, Even When The Cursor Leaves The Button/stage?

Jan 13, 2011

I'm programming a Flash-based site designed by the client. The trouble is the SWF dimensions are small within the HTML page, and the thumbs show the larger images on roll over. The large images are meant to disappear on mouseout, but it's easy to move the cursor too quickly for the mouseout to be recognized -- so the image gets stuck on screen.Is there a reliable way to recognize a mouseout event, even when the cursor leaves the button/stage?

When I press the keys, nothing happens, but if I replace the if statement with a 1 then the code executes fine.

Key Presses Not Affecting Right Variables?

Rather than affecting one variable, one key press makes all the others true as well

ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Detect Key Presses (Sth Else)

Feb 8, 2009

I have recently been working on creating a game similar to the good ol' Asteroids game. So far, I have managed to create a very simple piece of code that rotates and moves my spacecraft according to the angle it is currently at. There are two problems with it, though:

1. I can't use two buttons at once--for example, to rotate and move forward. I'm sure there must be a better way to detect key presses. What's the best way to do it in AS3?
2. The way the whole thing works looks kind of jerky and stage. Another thing is, the spacecraft is constantly at an odd angle for no apparent reason.

Here it is ("sc" is my spacecraft movieclip):
var SC_speed:Number;
var SC_rotation:Number;
var SC_radians:Number;
SC_speed = SC_rotation = 0;
function keys(event:KeyboardEvent):void{

ActionScript 3.0 :: Key Presses - But Only For Some Keys

Dec 9, 2010

I have a really strange problem. I've made a custom class that listens for keyboard events such as key presses (I use it in order to navigate in an interface). When I test my file in Flash (using 'command'+'enter') all key presses work as they should. However, when I publish the file and starts the projector (or the swf for that matter) one key ('g') isn't doing what it should!

ActionScript 2.0 :: Getting Key Presses To Fire Only Once?

Sep 19, 2007

I set up some code to record key presses and specific chords. My problem is that I only want the keys to fire once when pressed. This is especially a problem when I require the user to hold CTRL + LEFT for an action.

The user experience is that I want users to hold down CTRL to enter a mode and then press the LEFT key as many times as needed. Currently, the CTRL trace and LEFT trace fire continuously. Is there a way to do a onKeyRelease?

Code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL)) {

ActionScript 3.0 :: Way To Detect 2 Key Presses At Once?

Jun 19, 2009

When I say two keyboard presses, I'm thinking about a situation where I would need to detect both. Not a shift this or alt that or control third. I'm talking about Down + A or 5 + T. For instance: Ryu has an overhead attack that is used when both Down + MP are pressed. If I were to create a game, with ActionScript 3.0, is there a way for me to detect that both buttons were pressed at the same time?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Determine Time Between Key Presses?

May 28, 2009

How would I go about determining the time in-between key presses in AS3? Basically, if a user is tapping the space bar to a beat, I want to be able to average the time in between 10 taps/key presses and get an output time in milliseconds.

My thought was to use an interval and after every press I would add that amount of time to an array. After 10 presses, I would take the average of all the numbers in the array and then output that number.

ActionScript 2.0 :: Recording Key Presses In An Interval?

I am creating a program where I am randomly flashing a series of words, and I would like to be able to record when someone has hit the "x", even very briefly, when looking at the word.I have inserted all of my code below, but I have difficulty with the section in bold. Everything is working except that in order for the "x" key press to be counted, it must be held down as the words actually change. Is there any way to have it record that the "x" is hit even if it very briefly? Whenever I try to use the key listener function, it does not work with my loop for displaying text.

stop();
var tempvariable = new Array();//array create variables stored in Flash to be saved for later display
var itemarray = new Array(); //This is the array to hold the Words that need to be randomly shuffled
