Create Keyboard Simulator In Flash
I cant find exactly what I need.
Anybody seen a tutorial for creating a basic keyboard in Flash?
1)Needs text input to var (each time a key is pressed that letter is appended to the value of the var). Var is only max of seven characters.
2) Needs "clear all" button.
3) Needs backspace button.
I think I can handle #1 and #2. #3 is the difficult one for me. I am creating a kiosk simulator for usability testing. That's what the keyboard is for.
Thanks in advance.

Flash ALT Simulator
Hi all,
Can anyone lead me to a component (or fla) that when you rollover a particular area it brings up an "ALT" styled image.
An example can be found at http://www.lsvmultimedia.it
If you rollover the little icons at the top right hand corner you will see what i mean.
Cheers,
suzy

How Do I Create A Tab Key For An Onscreen Keyboard?
I have an application that is built in flash. I am using Flash CS3. The application was built using AS2, and it is being designed for touch screens so there will be no keyboard or mouse. Certain parts of the application have text fields, so to enter text there is an on screen keyboard that pops up. The keyboard works great, but it does not have a tab key. Here is the code for some of the other special keys:
spacekey.onRelease = spacekey.onRollOut = spacekey.onDragOut = function ()
{
keyStroke(" ");
};
backspace.onPress = function ()
{
lastField.text = lastField.text.substring(0, lastField.text.length - 1);
};
I am very new to actionscript so if anyone could help with this it would be much appreciated. It seems like it should be simple to me, but I have not been able to figure it out. I am thinking that I need to use the tabIndex to number the fields, and then have the tab key tell it to go to the next field.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Vince

[CS3] [AS3]Creating A Gravity Simulator In Flash
I am trying to create a gravity simulator in flash but have encountered a problem...The formula i'm trying to use is obviously:
F = GmM/ r^2
F = Force on the body
G = gravitational constant
m = mass of body 1
M = mass of body 2
r = distance between the two bodies
This is what i have in the coding so far.
Code:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
xdist = Math.round(_root.Ball_MC._x-this._x);
ydist = Math.round(_root.Ball_MC._y-this._y);
distancefromthis = Math.round(Math.sqrt((xdist*xdist)+(ydist*ydist)));
var forceplanet = Math.round((gravity*planetmass*sunmass)/(distancefromthis*distancefromthis))
_root.textbox1.force = _root.Planet.forceplanet;
}
Too see if my coding works i'm trying to make the textbox equal the variable forceplanet, but for some reason is blank when i run the test. Any help is appreciated thx!
Attached is the fla.

Flash Based Exam Simulator
Hi,
We have been doing web application development using java till now. We have a requirement to develop a standalone exam simulator using flash . However the application would do the authentication over the net. We would want an exe to reduce the chances of someone hacking the source code. How should we bundle the questions with the application? We would want to protect the content of the questions so that no one can copy and paste the same
Thanks in Advance,

Trying To Develop Robotic Manipulator Simulator In Flash....pls Help
Hi friends,
I am a robotics programmer and am trying to develop a simulator for one of my research work. I have created a C code which will give me joint angles for the 6 joints of an industrial robot. Between every 2 joints is 1 link. Now i am trying to create an application where when i feed those 6 joint angles, the 6 joints should rotate by that specific amount (whihc hsould not be very difficult to achieve). However if joint 1 rotates by 45 degrees, all the links and joints after it should get displaced by 45 degrees. Further each joint would displace the links and joints after it similarly. In this way i would be able to get the robot to move to a desired point and check if my calculations are right. I am wondering how to do this. Any comments would be really appreciated. If someone can prepare a small prototype for 2 joints and 1 link then i can replicate the same for all the other joints.
Please help me out on this one guys.

Web Speed Simulator
Hi everyone,
I just discovered a great tool for us flashers. A web speed simulator:
www.xat.com
I know we have a bandwidth profiler and all in Flash but that is not useful when we are loading other swfs into the one we are testing.
With this tool you can set the connection speed and then browse the page and see how the clip will load.
I like this tool - but there is one - there must be other that I would like to compare to this one.
Do you know of any other tools like this one?
Regards,
Sambo

Simulator.. Is This Possibe? What Do I Need?
Hey everyone... first of all, great forum.
Well this is going to be a bit long, but it would be kewl if some people could help me out.
Basically I have never used Flash MX < Only Swish... don't hate me >, and right now i'm trying to figure out what tool I need to purchase at work, Flash MX, or Director MX.
At work we use a system called AS/400 to view customer information... I guess the best way to describe it is to call it somewhat DOS based. Everything is accessible through one window, and Keyboard function keys. We need to create a simulator for training that would basically look like the actual system.
Four years back our company outsourced this project and it cost over $15, 000 So we're trying to do things a little different The application they created execute in Macromedia Projector, so I'm guessing the file itself is a FLASH file, am I correct ?
I guess I can take you through a couple screens, and it will make a little more sense...
1st screen. Basically a logon screen, you enter you user name, and a password, and press F1 to logon.
2nd screen. Two fields. You enter a customer account number and press F5 to view account information, and lets say F6 for help.
and so on...
What it appears they did when they created the simulation, is they simply took screen shots of all the system screens, and you're basically navigating between them with Function keys. The simulator is not at all connected to a system (obviously), and they assigned specific numbers, and user names for people to log on.
so here are some questions (if this makes any sense at all :
- Does this sound like it could be done in Flash
- Is it relatively easy to make keyboard function keys work within a flash application? ... like F1, F5, SF5... and so on? Would it have to be launched in projector?
- Do we need to get Flash MX, or Director MX to create something like this?
Sorry for making this long, and I don't know if it makes any sense... so if you have any questions... or possibly example of something similar to this... that would be awsome.
THANKS !!!

Windows Simulator
Hey everyone
I have being playing with flash for some while now (bout 3 years). Now I haven't done anything special with it recently and out of boredom or inspiration I came up with an idea.
Why don't I create a Windows PC Simulator. What I mean is an application which runs like a Windows PC. I don't know if I can do this due to legal reasons or if it has been done.
However if none of the two affect this then I shall continue with it. I was also thinking of making it a Public Project so everyone can do their bit for it, if they wanted.
So if you have any comments or wanna help then please post here and I think we could get a good thing going. The purpose I am unsure about but you never know what could turn out. It could become a regular thing with a team building multiple applications for internet usage.
So once again any ideas, comments or wanting to take part, please leave a message.
Thanks

Hi, I was wondering if Flash can respond to a steering wheel and pedals like the ones used for playing. So like with actionscript one can control the speed of a car when a user presses the gas pedal and also how the car moves when the user moves the steering wheel.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if it is can someone show me where can I look for more info about it?

I know you can simulate any bandwidth when you test the movie but this wont work in my case because the flash is calling a load of ASP pages and also loading all sorts of images/movies dynamically.
I was wondering if anyone has heard of any softwar that can limit the bandwidth when surfing a certain site.

U.S.A.F Rapcon Simulator Project
Hello,
I'm in the Air Force, and a student in Air Traffic Control. I'm working on a "simulator" that simulates air traffic and the controller give headings and altitude changes to the aircraft and what not. This is a free program to other students to help them out with having a visual of the scope instead of practicing on the radar tables here at the squadron with dry erasers, and paper.
This is a bit more advanced than what I know. And I need some great free help. I can not afford to pay anyone.
http://www.zstudiox.com/ARRIVAL.html
That is the ARRIVAL scope. We've been dragging and dropping the aircraft to simulate their flight path, and I was wondering if there would be anyway to be able to program these aircraft so that we can type a heading in for them and they would fly it. That way we can have a more realistic scope, and be able to simulate more aircraft at the same time. Also we'd like to be able to type in their altitude (ALT), and update it in the aircraft data block.
If anyone can help me with this I'd greatly appreciated it!
Thank You,
AMN. Black

Credit Card Statement Simulator
Hi there everybody
I'm working on a little project where I have to simulate a credit card statement and show how making minimum payments for 6 months doesn't lower your balance very quickly. They can scroll through a bunch of items to pretend 'purchase'. When they're done shopping, the code is supposed to calculate the interest being charged, and the minimum payment due, until the balance is gone or six months have passed... which ever comes first. If they only spent $20.00, they'll pay it off before 6 months is up. If they spend a ton of money, then at the end of 6 months they'll have a statement that has not decreased significantly.
My calculations aren't working. It's boggling my brain. I've been testing it with $100 as the total for all purchases. Rather than a nested function, maybe I should be using a for loop to count through the 6 months.
I've pasted in sample code with a static $100 as the purchases. I'll attach a file too.
Any help would be absolutely fabulous.
Code:
//initial values for variables and symbols.
statementNumber=1;
mindue_rate=0.025;
PRFC=0.049827;
_root.allPurchases=100.00
//initial calculation for first month (because there is no interest on the first month).
month1=_root.allPurchases;
month1_mindue=month1*mindue_rate;
if(month1<10.00){
tipBox2.tipBoxText.text="Your total purchases were $"+_root.allPurchases+". Your balance is less than $10.00. That means you pay the total amount charged to your credit card on this bill. You have no balance to carry forward to month two. If you want to find out how interest can accumulate, do some more shopping and click again to view this statment.

Keyboard Domination - Best Tricks To Hear All Possible Keyboard Shortcuts
I'm looking to recreate a keyboard shortcut quiz in flash much like this example that's been done in javascript.... (Note: the example seems to only really work well on Windows - I'm hoping mine proves to be more compatible?). a timer counts down while it waits for you to correctly perrform the shortcut on the keyboard.
I've successfully implemented a key combination listener such as is detailed in a tutorial here. I've gotten it to parse my list of shortcuts from a delimited txt file, correctly analyze user combination held & advance/score if correct, drive score based on countdown time remaining, manage "pass" to skip tough ones, etc.
You can see my progress here.
http://www.realitytheory.com/clients...indexTest.html
However I've still got several things that don't work even though I'm using fscommand("trapallkeys", "true"); (does that even matter when used within browser plugin?)
1) Ctrl key doesn't register on Macs (tried Safari & Ffox) but Cmd key does. This is odd since it works fine when previewing in Flash via Ctrl-Enter (and having enable keyboard shortcuts disabled in that player). Not a showstopper as client's cool if it's windows only.
2) Any shortcuts that utilize the Alt key - seems flash doesn't detect a key event when I hit that key. I've seen another thread here intimating that Flash can't hear code #18 (alt) even though javascript can it certainly seems true in flash player. Is this true? Can it be somehow "pressed" by javascript via a JS key handler?
3) Any that conflict with browser default actions e.g. Ctrl-P, Ctrl-S. Before saying there's no way, note that somehow the JS on the example link *do* block those (on IE/Ffox Win anyways). Does anyone have a clue what part? Will disabling the browser's default actions mean Flash receives the input or will flash not hear them either?
Any help will I'm sure benefit anyone looking to listen for key combos.

Float Simulator... Help With Mouse Control Of Movie Clip
Can someone help with my movie?? I am trying to have the mouse control the movement of a movie clip. Is there a way to limit the amount the mouse can move the clip to prevent it from being pulled off the screen. I want all of the edges of the clip to be the limits that the movie can be moved. Kind of a float simulator.. check out what I mean here:
http://www.folkphotography.com/index...h/rainier.html
Here is the script I used:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
//x movement
mx=_root._xmouse;
if (mx<_x) {
dx=_x-mx;
}
else {
dx=mx-_x;
}
moveSpeedx=dx/10;
if (mx<_x) {
_x=_x-moveSpeedx;
}
else {
_x=_x+moveSpeedx;
}
//y movement
my=_root._ymouse;
if (my<_y) {
dy=_y-my;
}
else {
dy=my-_y;
}
moveSpeedy=dy/10;
if (my<_y) {
_y=_y-moveSpeedy;

Flash Keyboard
Kind of a newbie question I guess...
I'm creating a Flash Keyboard as an assignment and the one button I can't figure out is a backspace. Clicking on a button causes the associated letter, number or symbol to appear in a textbox, clicking submit will mail the content of the textbox to me. The only one I can't get working is a backspace.
Can anyone help me with the actionscript for this?

Flash Keyboard Help
Hi folks.
I'm beginning work on a large application, and one of the parts that I am having trouble figuring out is how to make a typing keyboard in flash that outputs the letters you press with the mouse into a dynamic text box.
Basically the keyboard is like your basic QWERTY keyboard, and it will also have delete left and delete right. My first issue is getting more than one letter to appear at a time (ie. you press C then A then T and you get "CAT", rather than a C which is replaced by an A, which is replaced by a T)
Does anyone know of a tutorial on this? My code is embarassing at the moment, but I'll paste it in anyway:
Code:
var A1 = "A";
var B1 = "B";
var C1 = "C";
var one = false;
var two = false;
var three = false;
if (one == false){
var A1 = "";
}
if (one == true){
var A1 = "A";
}
if (two == false){
var B1 = "";
}
else {
var B1 = "B";
}
if (three == false){
var C1 = "";
}
else {
var C1 = "C";
}
var one = false;
var two = false;
var three = false;
writeIn.movA.onPress = function() {
var one = true;
writeIn.txtWriteIn.text = A1 + B1 + C1;
}
I seriously doubt this is the right track to be on. Eventually this also has to be able to be deleted and also...once the person is done inputting the type, you go back to the previous screen and it replaces the words "write in" on a button that is there with what you typed in.
Also, I realize that an input box would be fine if you wanted to just type in from the keyboard, but unfortunately the demo that I am making is for something that has a touch-screen keyboard. Please help me out with this if you can...I'm short on time.

Keyboard In Flash
Hello.
I wanted to make a keyboard in flash. You click a letter on the flash keyboard, and the corresponding letter is put into a text field. you can type as much as you want, then select the text and copy paste it if you wanted to.
here is how i'm guessing it would work:
I create the keys as a series of buttons. when you click on one of the keys, the corresponding letter is generated into a text field. i think i may need to know what the letter is called in the font i choose?
any suggestions?

Making A Keyboard With Flash...
Hi. I want to make a computer keyboard with flash. What I want to do is have the keyboard popup on screen. Each letter on the keyboard will be a button. Instead of using the mouse to press the buttons on the screen, I was going to use the on(keyPress) event. For example, if I hit 'a' on my keyboard, I want the 'a' key on my flash keyboard to go down like it has been pressed. Any sugguestions on how I could accomplish this? As I mentioned earlier, I plan on making each key a button. Should I make a moive clip of each key animating as if it is getting pushed and make this clip play with the onKeypress event?
on(keyPress,"a")
{
play movie clip of button being pressed?
(I'm not sure how to get a clip to play)
}
Thanks for any advice in advance!

Type Keyboard In Flash
i am making a type keyboard in flash and need some help.
when you click the keys (seperate mc's) they return the corrosponding letter in real (selectable) text. the problem is that, if you make an error in typing and want to select the text, delete it and correct it, the new text is added to the front of the text you created and not to the relative location of the blinking text cursor. i use an input text field so that the user can copy paste the text... here is the code i apply to the first keyframe, feel free to help me to optimize it as well:
a_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.inputField.text +="a";
}
b_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.inputField.text +="b";
}
c_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.inputField.text +="c";
}
// ETC...
// and this delete feature doesn't work...
delete_btn.onRelease = function() {
_root.inputField.text -= " ";

Virtual Keyboard In Flash
Hi, I've made a little program in flash that would use a special font to type in Persian in any graphic program. All you need to do is type what you want in the input box of this program and copy and paste it to the graphic program that you are using and change it's font to that special font. So what I did was I mapped the font using action script. Now what I want to do is to make a virtual keyboard and when ever somebody presses for example the key A on the virtual keyboard, it would do the function that the script is supposed to do. What I mean is I don't want to add letter A to the input field...
The action script file is attached...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tnx in advanced.

I am concerned that because the Flash content is started as a result of a mouse event, that there is no way for users of screen readers to hear the content.>
In IE7 I can tab to the first Flash object ("Theo") and the content plays. However, if I tab again to try to get "Cara" to talk, the tab order begins at the top of the page again with the MyStuff link.
In Firefox 2, the Flash content is not available at all via tabbing.
I would appreciate any advice on a solution that would not require re-working with the actual .swf files as these were created by a contractor.
I am wondering if the Flash content can be accessed from an onclick event (a link) instead?
In addition, I should mention that I have been provided transcription text which I intent to link to for use by those with audio impairments. I am wondering if there is a best practice method for labeling such links. For instance: "read text", or "read transcription", that sort of thing.
Thank you for any advice.

Keyboard Commands In Flash
Hello, I'm wondering if it is possible to have various keyboard commands in flash. I know you can do the left, right, up and down keys. I thought it would be cool if you could do things by pressing a certain letter or number on your keyboard to make things happen. Is this possible, and what code would I need.
Thanks
George

OSX Flash Keyboard Shortcuts
How do I switch between open flash documents in Flash MX 2004 on a Mac using OSX. I know on a PC using WinXP it's Ctrl-TAB, but am at a loss as to what it is on a Mac. Easy to use...BAH! (just kidding)
I'm temporarily using a mac at a new job and need to learn the basic keyboard shortcuts all over again.
Can someone point me to a list somewhere?
Cheers,
J.J.
