Noob Question!

[Spikedit]

Sorry about the double post. (I accidentally put it in the politics forum)

How do I make it so that on frame 5 of a flash, if the key "A" is pressed, the frame goes to 6?

[Denvish]

Put this code on frame 5:

kl=new Object();
kl.onKeyDown=function(){
	if(Key.getCode()==65){
		gotoAndStop(6);
		Key.removeListener(kl);
	}
}
Key.addListener(kl);

stop();

Or, if you're using AS2

stop();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(65)){_root.play();}
}

Thanks guys, what are the key numbes for "p" and "ctrl"? (like A is 65)

I may not know AS3, but I know that that was AS3.

No it was AS2. This is AS3:

function keys(e:KeyboardEvent):void{
if(e.keyCode == 65){
//A is down
}
}

addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keys);

Big difference.

I'm using AS2. And there is a problem. When, after I have pressed A, later on in the flash you have to type something. The thing you have to type has an a, but when you try to type it, it brings you way back to frame 6. How do I make that stop?

[andy70707]

probably cause you put put the code on a frame in a new layer, and there are no other keyframes since. If this is the case, put a blank keyframe after the frame with the code in.

Thanks it works now

Aye, AS2 does have some listener capabilities, just not as extensive or necessary as AS3. Most people seem to prefer to use an enterFrame Key.isDown check, but the Key.Listener is definitely a better method in some (most?) cases.
