Flash :: Key.ENTER Is Not Working

Key.ENTER Is Not Working
hi
i have been working on this sample code in flashmx 2004 here every key code is working except Key.ENTER.I can trace all key code events except Key.ENTER. Is this my keyboard fault or this problem really exists? Can anyone help me how to detect enter key press.
Thanks in advance.
This is the flashmx 2004 sample code i tried.

ActionScript Code:
var DISTANCE:Number = 5;
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
switch (Key.getCode()) {
case Key.LEFT :
trace("left Pressed")
car_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x -= DISTANCE;
};
break;
case Key.UP :
trace("up Pressed")
car_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y -= DISTANCE;
};
break;
case Key.RIGHT :
trace("right Pressed")
car_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._x += DISTANCE;
};
break;
case Key.DOWN :
trace("down Pressed")
car_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y += DISTANCE;
};
break;
case Key.ENTER :
delete car_mc.onEnterFrame;
trace("enter Pressed")
break;
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

KeyPress Not Working For Enter, Backspace, Tab
Hi all,
I'm trying to capture certain keypresses and this is working for any alphabets/numbers that I press, but not for Enter, Backspace, Tab etc. However, if I click the mouse once and then press enter the event is detected. Any idea how I can being to detect enter, backspace without having to click my mouse even once.

I am running the file in the Authoring Environment.

Here's my code

_root.onEnterFrame = function(){
trace(Key.getCode());
}

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Diablo

Pressing Enter Isnt Working...
Hi

Apologies if this question has been answered many times before -

I have a button which has the following code:

on (keyPress "<Down>"){
gotoAndPlay(2);
}

on (keyPress "<Enter>"){
nextScene();
}

So pressing Down will go to the next frame whereas Enter goes the next Scene.

For the life of me I cannot understand why pressing Enter does not work - I am using exactly the same code in a different part of the file where a movie clip stops and you have to press Enter to continue.

In the above code if I press Enter it acts like it doesnt understand the code and instead it goes to the next frame.

Any help on this I am confused.

Thanks

Detect ENTER Key Press Not Working
I need to have a PHP script have a variable passed to it when a flash button is either clicked or ENTER is pressed. This is my AS3 code so far:

Code:
stop();

search_button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);

function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(the_text.text != "")
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest('search.php?search=' + the_text.text), '_self');
}
}

var enterListener:Object = new Object();

enterListener.onKeyDown = function():void
{
if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER))
{
if(the_text.text != "")
{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest('search.php?search=' + the_text.text), '_self');
}
}
};

Key.addListener(enterListener);

When I try to save this I get errors though:

1120: Access of undefined property Key. Key.addListener(enterListener);
1120: Access of undefined property Key. if(Key.isDown(Key.ENTER))

Thanks anyone

Both CTRL+ENTER And PUBLISH Not Working
I downloaded a FLASH CS3 trial version. On my project, I imported 30 jpegs into my library and converted each to a symbol. When I pr
essed either CTRL+ENTER or PUBLISH, it works. When I added another 30 jpegs and converted to a symbol, both CTRL+ENTER and PUBLISH d
id not work.

When I tried to delete the jpegs and its corresponding symbols, both CTRL+ENTER and PUBLISH still did not work. Even if I reached on
e jpeg already, still did not work.

What is wrong?

Working With Enter Key - Reply ASAP Pls
Hi all,

I'm working with Actionscript 2.0. I am applying the following code

keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
var keyCode = Key.getCode();
if (keyCode == 13) {
gotoAndPlay(1318);
}else {
gotoAndStop(1314);
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

Problem I'm facing is that its not working with the enter key , however if i'm giving any other key code then its working. Infact if i'm giving the following code

keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
var keyCode = Key.getCode();
if (keyCode == 13) {
gotoAndPlay(1318);
}else if (keyCode == 32) {
gotoAndPlay(1318);
}else{
gotoAndStop(1314);
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

Then its working fine but only in the case of else if part ( key Code==32, space bar ), but not with the enter key.
Please help.

Text Fades With Enter But Not With CTRL-Enter
I have followed steps I've found in tutorials, but my TEXT does not fade when I run the web-page version (CTRL-Enter) even though it does fade when I just hit Enter inside Flash. (I have converted the text to Symbol -- both graphic and movie clip)

Images fade fine in both.

Is this something simple I'm blind to?

Why "if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER))" Is Not Working
Code:
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {

}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
The above code works perfect, but if i write ENTER instead of LEFT, it doesnt work, does anybody has any idea of whats going wrong?

Thanx

Ctrl+Enter Instead Of Enter In TextArea
Hi,

I'm creating a Flash instant messaging application (through XMPP protocol) and run into a problem. It isn't that important but I was quite upset that I wasn't able to solve it and I want to know if their is a solution =D

I have a TextArea chat input and a button to send the text, the TextArea is multiline and so captures the Enter key to jump one line... What I need is to send the message with the Enter key and jump with a Ctrl+Enter combination... My ideas were to disable the bubbling of the Enter key, trap it, and then manually assign the Ctrl+Enter combination to jumping the line in TextArea but couldn't find how to do all this...

I have to programm this application in AS2 but will be glad if you have an AS3 solution as well (to use later, learn and help others reading this thread

thnx,

Why Won't Key.ENTER Not Detect The Enter Key?
the subject says it all really... how do you detect the <enter> key with clip events? The ASCII code for Enter is 13 and i've tried it using key.getCode and Key.ENTER, both unsuccessful. I'm using a laptop (not that it should make a difference right?).

Does anyone know?

Enter
I have several input text fields in a Flash MX .swf.
I want the Enter key on the keyboard to work in
addition to the buttons to the right of the fields.

Can I use a listener for this?

Simply adding a Key Press to the buttons doesn't do it.

Key.ENTER
Does anyone know how to covert the default keyboard selection key in flash from the "space bar" to the "enter key"?

Example:
When I am focused on a checkbox and press the "enter key" nothing happens, but when I press the space bar it turns the check on and off. This is the same for the buttons in my flash movie. I want to disable the space bar and use the enter key instead.

Enter Key
Lets say i want the insert point in the input text box go to the next one when i press the Enter key.

Hope someone could help me. Thanks

Enter Key
hi All,

I've read numerous threads and still don't understand how to fix my prob. Sorry if this is repeating other threads...

I have an input field and I want the enter button to submit the input. As of now, when you hit enter, it clears the field and screws up the animation.

I think I need a listener, I'm just not sure of the syntax I need.

Help With Enter Key And <br>
Hi guys,

I have an htmltext input field via the textarea component. When the user presses enter in the field it works fine. When I recall their input from the database and output it in flash it works fine.

the problem is, sometimes i need to output their input with php. the html does not read the enter key! is there an invisible identifier letting flash know there are enters pressed? if there is i can do a find and replace in php and change them to <br>'s on output...

any help would be much appreciated!

What's Up With The ENTER KEY, Can Someone Help With It.
Hello everybody,

i have a Enter key problem (obvious). I searched up and down the net but got no useable result. the most common one was the following one.

Code:
var enterListener = new Object();
enterListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
trace("enter key");
}
};
Key.addListener(enterListener);
this only works when i also press shift, so shift+Enter works.
Naturally i want to use the enter key only.

is there someone who knows this problem and knows how to do it properly.

thanx in advance.

Hitting The Enter Key
Hello,

I have a movie clip and in that there is a point where the user needs to hit the 'enter' key to move in the movie clip timeline. For some reason using

on (keyPress "<Enter>") {
gotoAndPlay(20);
}

does not work when it is embedded in a movie clip. only if used on the main timeline.

Any thoughts or code that might help?

Thanks...........Rob

How To Disable <ENTER> Key
Hi,

Is there a way to disable the <Enter> key on the keyboard using actionscript? In my movie I want the user to use arrows to navigate, but some users insist on trying to advance by pressing <Enter> on the keyboard and this makes them jump back to a different layer.

Please let me know how I can disable the <Enter> key! Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Enter Key Only Works Once
I have a search box in frame 1, logic to process a search in frame 2.

When I press the enter key, it goes to frame 2 (as it should). The actionscript then returns the playhead to frame 1.

However, when I press enter again, it remains in frame 1.

Any ideas on how to make it go to frame 2?

Thanks,

I Wanna <Enter>
Hi,

I'm trying to call a function when the user either clicks a button OR when he/she hits the ENTER key on the keyboard. I've attached the following code

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
myFunction();
trace("calling function now");
}

Clicking on the button is no problem. But hitting ENTER causes the play head in the movie to play, moving through subsequent frames, but it fails to call the function. In fact, it even fails to run the trace, in effect bypassing the keyPress in the button altogether. Why is Flash ignoring my button command and simply advancing the playhead? I'm publishing for Flash 5. Thanks.

Using ENTER Instead Of A Button...
I have a set up now where a user enters something in an input field and then hits a button to submit their answer. On the buttonClip is all the actionScripting. Is there a way to set it up so that in addition to using the button, a user can also just input their answer and then hit ENTER for the script to run?....

we want to know how identify when I press the Intro key and get the code number 108.

Using The Enter Key As A Trigger
Hey,
i have several movies with dropdown boxes to select model numbers and bring up parts breakdowns for our customer service reps on our company Intranet. A request was made to be able to use the enter key to activate the current selection instead of having to press an onscreen select button.
I know you can check for keypresses, but i need help understanding how to implement this regadless of what is currently selected on screen.. For example, if they press enter, no matter if the combobox is selected or some other item onscreen is selected, the enter key will still trigger the current item in the dropdown to open the correct PDF file..

FLA's are available, but they are too large to post. If you need to see one, please email me at mrobinson@devap.com

thanks,

KeyPress <enter>
Hi,
i have 2 input boxes (with btns to put the code on) for 2 different searches and want the enter key to initiate the search in each case eg.

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
//do this
}
how can i distinguish between the 2 searches, so if the user has just written in 1 of the boxes and hits enter that particular search is initiated. Currently if enter is pressed, the first of the searches is always initiated no matter which input box you type in.

any ideas would be appreciated
thanks
