Using a static method in as3, I can get a charCode from a character in a string.
How can I get the keyCode from a character in a string? Do I need to run this function through javascript (if I can do this in Javascript...)
I have an issue with some Arabic text where I need to flip numbers inside a string. So this: "Some text written in 1982 by someone with m0123456 or 12-to-13".Should become:"Some text written in 2891 by someone with m6543210 or 21-to-31"

I am working on my open source project Downloadify, and up until now it simply handles returning Strings in response to ExternalInterface.call commands.
I am trying to put together a test case using JSZip and Downloadify together, the end result being that a Zip file is created dynamically in the browser, then saved to the disk using FileReference.save. However, this is my problem:
The JSZip library can return either a base64 encoded string of the Zip, or the raw byte string. The problem is, if I return that byte string in response to the ExternalInterface.call command, I get this error:
Error #1085: The element type "string" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</string>"
ActionScript 3:
var theData:* = ExternalInterface.call('Downloadify.getTextForSave',queue_name);
Where queue_name is just a string used to identify the correct instance in JS.
JavaScript:
var zip = new JSZip();
zip.add("test.txt", "Hello world!
");
var content = zip.generate(true);
return content;
If I instead return a normal string instead of the byte string, the call works correctly.I would like to avoid using base64 as I would have to include a base64 decoder in my swf which will increase its size.
Finally: I am not looking for a AS3 Zip generator. It is imperative to my project to have that part run in JavaScript
I have a function that needs to pass the "spacebar" keycode into an array. I'm not sure how to give the function a keycode that hasn't actually been pressed. It seems like there should be a way to do this, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Is there a way to give a keycode (which is interpreted as such, rather than as a number) to a function, without that key having been pressed?
View 5 RepliesThis line of code is generating codes for other keys but not the Enter Key trace("key code: : " + e.keyCode); It's like AS3 doesn't know there is such a key. The code should be 13 but on my system according to AS3 it doesn't exist. I'm usind CS4 is this a CS4 bug?

View 2 RepliesIs there an easy way to convert keyCode to charCode?
Either this or a way to get the name of a key via it's keyCode and not it's charCode (I've made all of my movie use keyCodes so far, and I really don't want to have to convert it just to get the name of the key).I know there is a String.fromCharCode but this isn't what I need, I need one from keyCode.

Does 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?

Everything worked perfectly fine in CS5, then I converted it to CS4 and it won't move my guy around, or even trace anything, when I press the WASD keys. The arrow keys still work fine.
I would have expected, given the way Adobe seems to do things, that you could reference some of the non-ASCII keycodes using a static constant, for example KeyCode.UP_KEY. Am I dreaming? Or do you just assume 38 will be the up key in perpetuity..?
View 1 RepliesI thought all keyboards were alike other than maybe special Chinese and Japanese ones. I was guessing that, other than adding a few extra letters (such as Sweden's the keyboards would be identical... WRONG. find it extremely annoying typing since when I reach for a ", I get an when I want a closed curly bracket, I get ^. Swedish keyboards are not a programmer's best friend. It is quite frustrating, but that is another subject, and quite off topic.o doubt, since the key locations vary so drastically in some areas,How are "keyCode" and "charCode" values different if captured from other keyboards?How smart is Flash, and how much does the developer need to compensate for this?Is there any way to detect what type of keyboard the user is currently using?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to catch Return key presses in a TLF textfield, but the code I'm using is not working:
Code:
function keyHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
trace(e.keyCode == 13); // true/false
[code].....
The trace function in this file doesn't output all of the keycodes on my keyboard. Some letters generate a keycode and others don't. For instance, "u" outputs 85 but "i" outputs nothing.
Here's the trace function trace(event.keyCode);
[Code]...
I've read that the enter keycode should be 13. However when using
trace(event.keyCode);
other keys will show up but the enter key does not. Could it be my computer or something? Using macbook pro keyboard.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, entered);
function entered(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
trace(event.keyCode);
[Code]....
i.e. I can't get this to trace "enter button" Also noticed no code traceable for Ctrl. alt Tab or Backpace
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,go);
function go(e:KeyboardEvent)
{
trace(1);

is there a way to display the keycode for a KEY_DOWN command on the screen ? and im not talking about the keycode itself ( the num ), im talking about the symbol on the keyboard...lets say im pressing T on the keyboard, i want to see T on the screen and when im pressing P, same thing, i wanna see P.

In my apps, i would like to:

2)invoke the popup menu by using samsung's "MENU keycode",then ok to return the same page as it is
3)having the user to swipe 5 images to view them, left image as 1st and 5th image as last image with smooth transitions
4)and also using the "BACK keycode" to go back to previous page
The following doesn't work (although it gives no explicit error), but why not?nd... Is there really no way around it, strictly using the with statement? Forget using for / foreach.
with (object1, object2) {
attribute = value;
method();
}
Why the code above gives no syntax error, doesn't work but is accepted by with?If it's possible, how could we change multiple objects with same attribute using with?
var object1 = { attribute: 3 };
var object2 = { attribute: 2, method: function() { alert('blah'); } };
var object3 = { method: function() {alert('bleh'); } };

I need to execute some javascript string code from flash swf file using actionscript 3.
I read that it could be done by passing the javascript code to the parent html document , using externalinterface.call function. Then I assume it will be faster if I can declare functions in the javascript code in the HTML document in the first use of externalinterface.call funtion ; if flash code calls the javascript code repeatedly. So let me ask you how to do that. For details , any javascript to be loaded is unknown in design time and I can not prepare a javascript file to be loaded.
for some reason, whenever I dynamically load a swf on a $(document).ready() by writing to a div, I am unable to make javascript calls to the browser. Specifically, all calls to the browser return "null". This does not occur when embedding the swf normally on the page load, but I would like to prevent loading of the swf until a specified point in time.
What the heck is going on here? Is there something special about dynamically embedding a swf that prevents the swf from talking to the browser? The methods ARE called (I've proven such by showing alerts), but all return values to any function, regardless of type returned, shows as null when it gets to flash.
Is it possible to pass file names from a running Flash application, which only purpose is to enable multiple-file-selection, to a JavaScript application which handles upload of all files to the server?I have examined various Flash upload solutions (like SWFUpload, Uploadify, etc.) and none of them meets my needs. I want an easy to implement solution (like Uploadify) which also lets me specify various parts of the HTTP request.
The reason I need this is because my upload form uses session cookies (for user authentication) and an CSRF token both passed to the server when uploading files.Is it technically possible to pass filenames (+ paths) to a JavaScript application which then handles the upload?
Here's the challenge: I have a Flash movie which will be embedded in a page using an unknown DOM ID that I want to be able to identify/store for callback in a JS function. My ideal user flow would be: User clicks button in Flash. Flash pauses any animations / video / sounds / etc. Flash calls an injected JS function to display a page-covering overlay experience. When user closes overlay experience, a callback method on the Flash object is called. Flash resumes playback.
The problem is, when AS3 uses the ExternalInterface.call("functionName", args...) method, there doesn't seem to be a DOM event triggered, and thus it is impossible to tell which object called a JS function, so having a "registerMe()" function doesn't seem to work. Basically, the injected JS function has no way to determine which DOM object to call, because the ID of the Flash object is unknown.
