Flash -:: Addevent Keyboard To External Swf Not Working?
Aug 26, 2011
I have looked at other questions and online but still cant figure out where I am going wrong I am adding 2 events to a externally loaded swf
One works, and one doesnt?!? the function names are correct so I can see what Im missing
my_loadedSwf = loadEvent.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
my_loadedSwf.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, my_loadedSwf.enterFrameHandler);
my_loadedSwf.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, my_loadedSwf.myOnPress);
addChild(my_loadedSwf);
[Code]....
set my_loadedSwf.tabEnabled = true; and it now works great
EDITS TO THE ABOVE Actually, it isnt working, I have to press 'tab' to take control of the player
ANSWER
I removed the tab index code and added focus to the loaded swf

I have an action listener :myText.addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK,linkClickHandler); As according to this, i need to write an event handler function seperate to handle the text link event.Now my requirement is i need to write that function in the same line isntead of giving its name.ie, something like mytext.addEventListenet(TextEvent.LINK, function(event: TextEvent) {....code comes here....});
can i do like this in AS3.What will the syntax for this if possible.Also i want to know, wether i can pass one more extra param to the event handler other than event which is the default parameter.

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.

I am adding a key listener to my AIR application like so:
<mx:WindowedApplication
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
keyDown="onKeyDown(event)">
Yet only sometimes when I press keys does it actually invoke. I have no clue why, I thought maybe something else has focus. Well I cannot add key listeners to NativeWindow or NativeApplication, and I would assume if it is on the WindowedApplication which is the root element, that as long as my application has focus the key presses should invoke the listener.

can'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).

When I go to full screen with stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN the keyboard stops working. I cant even type in textboxes (or get any of my keyboard events).

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 SWF file that uses Mouse and Keyboard Events. When I test the SWF file in the flash IDE the events work fine. When I run the SWF file stand-alone with the Flash Player, the events work fine as well. But, when I open the SWF in a browser, neither mouse clicks or key presses register. Even if I puslish the SWF as a HTML, it doesn't work either.

I am new to actionscript. I was trying to make a slide show frame by frame. I have my main timeline with the following code in first frame.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_changeSlide);
function fl_changeSlide(evt:KeyboardEvent):void{
if (evt.keyCode = 37) // LEFT{
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame-1);
}else if (evt.keyCode == 39 || evt.keyCode == 32){
gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+1);
}}
In the third frame I am trying to load an external swf by clicking a button 'rrbutton' and unload the same when the user clicks left arrow.
var loadit = new Loader();
function ack(evt.keyboardEvent):void {
if(evt.keyCode == 37){
loadit.unloadAndStop();
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, fl_changeSlide);
[Code] .....
The external swf loads on clicking the button and unloads when left arrow is pressed and the main time line frame appears. But thereafter the keyboard navigation in the main timeline(through function fl_changeSlide) is not working properly.

I use an event listener to detect keyboard activity and it is working fine, but when I add a MovieClip to the stage, the event is no more triggered, I need to click on the stage to get it active.The MovieClip fills all the stage, and I tried to add the same event listener to it, but still I need to click on it to get the event listener active.

I was trying to make a tank game in which I can move the tanks, let them shoot each other, etc... I insist on creating external classes with Flash Pro cause I am used to OOP language like Java. I created a Tank class which represents all the tanks. Here is the code of this class:
[Code]...
The problem is that the action listener seems never get called when I press any keys. the trace() is not called. But I tried to add a mouse listener just to test and it worked. So I guess its the Keyboard event listener class's problem? Everyone I see on the web uses stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, move) approach.

Having a problem trying to get the external interface working with as3. My flash file has 2 input text boxes with instances of 'received_ti' and 'sending_ti' and a button with instance of 'send_button'. My html code has a simple form with 'sendField' and 'receivedField' inputs and a submit with a value of 'Send'.
At the moment i can get the flash file to send text into the html 'receivedField' input but cannot send text from html into the flash file's 'received_ti' text box.

I have a main swf that would eventually call out to another SWF file. Both of them have background music playing in them. Both swf runs fine without any error when I tested on them individually(both test movie and running the swf files themselves). But when the main swf calls the sub swf, the music doesn't play which is strange....
this is how I load my music(in both swf):
Code:
private var myMusic:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("main_music/myMusic.mp3"));
private var myMusic:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("sub_music/myMusic.mp3"));
All the swfs and music resides in the same folder. I am confused, I do not see the reason why the sound doesn't play on sub.swf when the main.swf calls the sub.swf when the main.swf works perfectly fine.

I have a flash player with an external javascript interface: reloadData() I'm calling that function via Javascript when editing information on the page - basically to keep data on the page and in the player in synch. The reloadData() function works fine when the player is hosted locally. When we move it to the CDN (Amazon Cloudfront), the player loads successfully, but the external javascript interface no longer works - console.log(player) reveals the following:
<object type=,"application/x-shockwave-flash" data="[our_cloudfront_url].swf" width="920" height="404" id="player" style="visibility:visible;">
Uncaught TypeError: Object #<an HTMLObjectElement> has no method 'reloadData'
I know there are a lot of things that behave differently when working with items on a CDN, but we're using a CNAME to point to the cloudfront distribution
(buildid.ourdomain.net => distributionid.cloudfront.net)

We have a flash game embedded in a web page (using SWFObject v2.2) and there are some links on the page that call into the flash in the following manner:
window.document["flashObjectId"].flashMethod();
This has worked great on all browsers we have tried including IE7 and 8, however on IE9 it generates the following error: "SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support this property or method".
It does work in compatibility mode so I tried adding a meta tag to tell IE9 to use compatibility mode by default, however that didn't work because our game runs in an IFrame within Facebook.
I have tried referencing the flash object every way I could think of in the Javascript but I always get that same error message in IE9.
