KeyPressing Not Working Right
Hi All - I could really use your help here.
I've tried using keyListeners and am getting extremely buggy results so I decided to put my keyPress commands directly on a button. I know, I know, not best practice - but I'm at the end of my rope here and I just need it to work, now.
Here's my scenario:
I'm working on a presentation where there is a Main.swf and a Retailer.swf. The Main.swf loads in the Retailer.swf which in turn loads in it's own other .swf files when it needs to.
In my Retailer.swf I have a hidden button that has the following code:
Code:
on (release) {
trace("pressed");
this.gotoAndPlay("logoIn");
}
//
on(keyPress "<Space>"){
trace("SPACE");
this.gotoAndPlay("logoIn");
}
//
on(keyPress "<Enter>"){
trace("ENTER");
this.gotoAndPlay("logoIn");
}
//
on(keyPress "<Right>"){
trace("RIGHT");
this.gotoAndPlay("logoIn");
}
//
on(keyPress "<PageDown>"){
trace("PAGE DOWN");
this.gotoAndPlay("logoIn");
}
//
on(keyPress "<Down>"){
trace("DOWN");
this.gotoAndPlay("logoIn");
}
As you can see they are all doing the same thing. Tracing for identification and telling the current movie to go somewhere.
The problem is that when I run Retailer.swf on it's on the Button Press and keyPress commands work perfectly. However, when I run the Main.swf and it loads in Retailer.swf the keyPress commands are ignored. The button Press works properly but not the keyPresses.
It's not a pathing problem because if the button Press is working then there seems to be no reason why this crap isn't working for me.
PLEASE ADVISE!!! I'm pulling out my hair!
