[F8] Flash --> On KeyPress Help

Flash MX With Keypress
I'm trying to make an interactive drumkit where when you press a button, a sound is triggered.I have made a movie and turned off visibility. This is the actionscript that is attached to it:
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.getcode() == 65) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("a");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 66) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("b");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 66) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("b");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 67) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("c");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 68) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("d");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 69) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("e");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 70) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("f");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 71) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("g");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 72) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("h");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 73) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("i");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 74) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("j");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 75) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("k");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 76) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("l");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 77) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("m");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 78) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("n");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 79) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("o");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 80) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("p");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 81) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("q");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 82) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("r");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 83) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("s");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 84) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("t");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 85) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("u");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 86) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("v");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 87) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("w");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 88) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("x");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 89) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("y");
} else if (Key.getcode() == 90) {
_root.Sounds.gotoAndStop("z");
}
}


Every frame of the movie clip has a different sound. Whenever I try pressing the button, it does nothing. Sounds is the movie clip. Can anyone tell me why it doesn't work?


EDIT: Nevermind, it doesn't work. I get this:

Flash + IE + Ctrl+B Keypress
Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to disable IE's default handling of ctrl+Key combinations, and passing these directly to flash? I've just spent a full day trying to get this to work without any luck.

For example, ctrl+B pulls up the favorites manager in IE if flash is focussed.

Thanks,

F.

KeyPress Not Working In Flash MX 2004
Anyone know why I can't get keyPress "<enter>" to work in the Flash MX 2004? I had it working fine in Flash 5.

Here's my old code:

code:
on(release,keyPress "<Enter>") {
---- code snipped ----
}


Release works fine, but pressing "Enter" doesn't any longer.

How To Simulate A Keypress In Flash Actionscript 2.
I have the following code in my Flash AS2 project. The trace works fine and the trace tells me what key was pressed. What I need to do though is actually simulate the keypress. (I have a datagrid object and need to make the focus go down one on the list). So I want to simulate pressing key 38 but am not sure how.

KeyListener = new Object();
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function(){
trace("key pressed" + Key.getCode());
}
Key.addListener(KeyListener);


(Just a little background. I have a third party drag&drop datagrid component. It doesn't have anything built in to automatically scroll down with the scroll bar. So I want to press the down arrow for the user)

Keypress On Componets (yet Another Item Flash Can't Do)
yet again, something that is one line of code in other languages that flash can't do....

1. Write component
2. I want to respond to a keypress to a movie clip or other item in the component (say an input field or other movie clip)

this.onKeyPress only works when defined from root. i.e. mc.onKeyPress() = function....

How the fukkk am I do to this from a component?

And I don't want a keylistener, as I don't want one in every class/component. And no, I don't want code on the root. The point is to have an encapsulated compoent.

Can this be done, or is flash a crap development tool. Time to use Java applets, Flash soooo sucks at anything other than making pretty pictures.

Using A Keypress Button To Navigate Flash Projector Movie
Hi, Any help will be greatly appreciated. What I am trying to achieve is to have one key -lets say the letter 'n', to control my flash presentation- which has different sections that need to go in order as the presenter speaks so it will serve basically as a next button. I don't want a mouse running around the screen pressing buttons as its a visual presentation on a huge projector screen! I have tried this using an invisible button and this As:
on (keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndStop("next Scene", 1);}
which does'nt work and I havent been able to figure out why! If I could just get the key press to work even to goto the next frame then I can make this work but no luck there either.

I can get key presses to work if I use a movie clip;
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
if (Key.isDown(78)) {
_root.myMC.gotoAndPlay(2);}

I'm not sure if this will work using the same key for all my events? Surely it will just keep playing the same movie clip over and over. If anyone can shed some light or knows of a better way to achieve this please help, I have never had to use anything other than mouse navigation so I am rather clueless about this side of Flash.

KeyboardEvent Handler Added, But Flash Still Handles Keypress Itself
I'm currently trying to write some code to deal with screen navigation, among other things. When a simple button 'btnA' has focus, I want to have a down arrow keypress take the user to 'btnC'. The example code is below.

What ends up happening though is that the focus is correctly placed on btnC, but then Flash seems to handle the key down navigation itself and then moves the cursor down to btnD.

Thoughts? Is there any way to prevent Flash from handling the down arrow navigation after I've handled the keyboard event?







Attach Code

btnA.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, btnAKeyHandler);

function btnAKeyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (event.keyCode == 40) // arrow down
{
stage.focus = btnC_btn;
}
}

Keypress
I'm making a personal "babybanger" game for my son, to teach him the meaning of letters, numbers and shapes...here goes:

I have movies (A-B) with each 4 frames containing different pictures which start with the current letter i.e B = Ball or Baby....., each frame has a stop action.

In my main scene I have a button with this script:


on (keyPress "b") {
_root.b.swapDepths(1);
tellTarget ("b") {
play();
}
}

So when he hits the "b" key it will play the next frame of the B movie.

The problem being that the B movie keeps playing through all the frames as long as he holds down the key, I just want it to play one frame every time he hits the "b" key.....I could really use an action with :
on (keyRelease "b") instead but can't seem to find out how.

KeyPress Help Please
I am creating a piano swf and upion the press of a key I want the button the the piano look like it is in its down state. I have placed the movieclip and given it the instance name "KeyPress1" on the stage the gave it an alpha value of "0" and then placed the following script on it.

on(keyPress "q") {
KeyPress1._alpha = 100
}

And that works except that when I release he key "q" I want the movieclip instance to change back to a "0" value and therefore not be visible and furthermore I want to make sure that while the key "q" is being pressed that the alpha value stays at "100"

How can I accomplish this? Somebody please help

Thanks in advance,

On Keypress....
Hi all, I'm new at the flashkit-forums.

I've surfed around flashkit a lot to have a look at some sources and I learned a lot of them.

I'm certainly not a flash-expert, I'm just in a learning fase. I think it is a great programming language for web applications.

I made my first game (well actually my second, but the first one isn't really worth mentionning), and I have a little problem with it. I added it to the movies--> games -section of flashkit (although it didn't get approved yet (how long does that take normally?)).

It's a typing test game I made just to get a bit the hang of actionscripting. It tracks wich key is pressed and if it is the same key as the letter apearing on the screen then the score goes up.

No some people told me that a good adition would be that the score goes down when someone presses a wrong key. I just don't see how to implement that.

Here is how I made it: I have 26 frames and in each frame there's a letter I converted to a button. That button tracks if the key is pressed of the letter wich appears on the screen. If randomly goes to another frame (with another letter)... There's a timer included wich ends the game after 30 seconds.

Here is the code I used for tracking the key:


Code:
on (keyPress "a"){
_root.score++;
gotoAndPlay(random(26)+2);
}
I tried adding the following to let the score goes down when a wrong button is pressed but it doesn't work off course:


Code:
on (keyPress !"a"){
_root.score++;
}
Anybody has any idea on how I can implement such thing?

Thanks in advance,

greets Rob

(I attached the source-code of my game)

Here is what I want,

I want my movie to play till the end, then stop. After it stops, I want to be able to press enter, which, in turn, would send it to the next scene. I tried the following, but to no avail. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

--------------
stop();
on (keyPress "<Enter>") {
gotoAndPlay(Slide2, frame 1);
}

--------------

Slide2 = Scene 2

Also, I did name my frame instance on Scene 2 "frame 1". So that is not the problem. Thanks in advance

y5 += 40
y4 -= 40
if ((((guy._x > x4) && (((guy._y > y4)) && ((guy._x < x5))) && (guy._y < y5)))) {
if (keyPress "1") {
def.play();
}
}
};

dont mind the part in bold its a substitute for a hitTest command.

On Keypress...
Hi,
I tried to make a page with a very little flash movie, height=1 width=1
I wanted to make it possible to press a key on a page and there will be an other page loaded. So people will be be quicker on browser through the website.

But it doesn't work, because you have to select the movie first (almost impossible when the movie is 1 by 1 px) before you can press a key. Is there a way to avoid this? I really don't want to make a movie wich you first have to select before you can use the shortkeys



the page is located here:
http://bcounter2.techroll.nl/

The flash movie will only appear when you are logged on:
username: Kaffa
password: qwerty
its located under the image with the text "jouw profiel" above it.

on the button in the movie I have:

Code:
on (keyPress "b"){
getURL("index.php?p=bewerk_profiel", "_parent")
}
on (keyPress "p"){
getURL("index.php?user=" + user, "_parent")
}
on (keyPress "u"){
getURL("index.php?p=upgrade_profiel", "_parent")
}
on (keyPress "c"){
getURL("index.php?p=casino", "_parent")
}
on (keyPress "s"){
getURL("__________allpages/shoutbox/_shoutbox_add.php?user=" + user, "shoutbox")
}
on (keyPress "r"){
getURL("JavaScript:radio_stream(220,305)")
}
on (keyPress "l"){
getURL("index.php?action=log-out&redirect=1", "_parent")
}

On(keyPress) Bug?
I had a scroller that was working perfectly using the on (keyPress "<Down">) script. Then it just stopped working. I dismantled the script and the button and re-did the whole thing, but still no success.

Is there some kind of bug at work here? Has anyone else ever experienced an event handler just dying like that?

I have build a lot of simulations in captivate and this time it’s just not cutting it, so I have to bring it into flash for the interactivity. JOY

Here is what I’m trying to do. I want the user to have to hold down ctrl while pressing the down key to have the move play; they will probably have to do this five times. So is it possible to handle multi key presses in flash?

Keypress
Hi experts,

Is there an alternative to using 'Keypress' when detecting keyboard actions? The problem is with 'keypress' only detecting one key at a time - if one is making a game for example, with keys to detect movement and shooting, ideally you would want it to detect more than one keypress at a time so you can move and fire at the same time without one interrupting the other.

Thanks in advance,

Any Way To Allow One Keypress OR Another?
If I have four buttons that can be clicked in my scene, is there any way to allow either "1" OR "a" to control the first one, "2" OR "b" for the second, etc?

I know I can combine different mouse events:


Code:
on (release, keyPress "1") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
... where the comma essentially says on release OR when pressing "1".

But when I do different keyPresses:


Code:
on (release, keyPress "1", keyPress "a") {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
to say on mouse release OR when pressing "1" OR when pressing "a"... I get a duplicate event error. I've tried using || and various other things, and none of my efforts or searches have resulted in anything.... What would the syntax be for this? Thanks!

Keypress Fun..
Hi, i`ve made a simple character and used the key listener to get him responding to the keyboard (move left, right, up down, punch and kick). But, when i press and hold a key to move him there is a delay (he moves then waits then continues to move) - can i get rid of that? Also, there is a two-frame walk-cycle and when he moves left or right i want it to play continuously - but it doesn`t, it plays only once unless i keep rehitting the move key. Is there a known issue with this or a workaround for it?

Any help is greatly appreciated always, thanks!

More Keypress Fun
I have a car symbol which is moved around the stage using the UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys. The movement is working fine, but I want the car to be correctly orientated to the direction it is moving. I have acheived this when moving up/down by changing the yscale value, but cannot achieve the same when moving left or right. My code is as follows:


Code:
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {

_global.speed = 5;

if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
this._y -= _global.speed;
this._yscale = 100;
}

if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
this._y += _global.speed;
this._yscale = -100;
}

if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
this._x -= _global.speed;

}

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this._x += _global.speed;
}
}
Any help would be most appreciated.

I'm creating a presentation (like PowerPoint). I would like to have my points come in with a differnt effect one at a time when I press the down arrow and then go to the next slide when I press the right arrow.

I'm using the McTween pluging to control my effects, I don't know if you need to know that or not, but I am.

Keypress Help
hello,

I am completely stuck, as a newby to actionscript, yet trying to undertake in my eyes an impossible task, maybe you can help!

what i want to do is this. I have designed an animated alphabet- now i want to attatch then to keys of the keyboard so when you press the letter then on the screen it pops up. Then if left idle for 15 seconds fades out to the blank screen again. So i have all these individual animated letters as movie clips, i just need to know how to script the whole thing together!

if anyone has any info or can reffer me to a good tutorial i would be forever grateful!

thanks.

Help With Keypress
On a webpage I have a .swf that has a usernamebox, a passwordbox and a submit button. How could I get it when the password box is active (instance name pass) and the enter key is hit, It will either press the submit key or it will trigger the following code:

Code:
dataOut.user = this._parent._parent.user.text;
dataOut.pass = this._parent._parent.pass.text;
dataOut.send("http://test.DOMAIN.net/login.php", "POST");

this._parent._parent.msg.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0x003399);
this._parent._parent.msg.setStyle("borderStyle", "none");
this._parent._parent.msg.setStyle("color",0xffffff);


var dataOut:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
var dataIn:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

dataIn.onLoad = function() {
if (this.login=="1") {
this._parent._parent.msg.text = 'Welcome ' + this.username + '!';
} else {
this._parent._parent.msg.text = 'Login was not successful, please try again.';
}
}}

On(keypress....) Help
I know this isn't secure, but for my purposes it accomplishes what I need.
I have an input field with and instance name of mytext and var pass (type: input). Below it I have created a button with the following actionscript:

quote:on (press, release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (pass == "1556"){
gotoAndStop("main");
}else{
error_msg = "Wrong. Please try again."
}
}

The ENTER key, however, does not seem to respond.... any ideas as to why? Do I have to somehow tie the button and input field together?
