huh

sry for that

is there ANY way to get simple "single key press" in flash

lets say user clicks and holds SPACE i just want that something happens once, not whole time he is holding space

I'm SURE there's a better/earier way, but I'm not a great programmer. What you could do is have it set a variable to "1" when it is pushed, and then "0" on release. Then only have the action run if the var is 0. Does that makes sense?

I suck at this AS stuff, sorry. Just an idea. I bet someone else will come along to help better. :)

I haven't tried this method yet, but I think it should work (just put it into a movieclip):

onClipEvent(load) {
urrh = true; // Just a random variable name.
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
	if(Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) && urrh) {
		urrh = false;
		// Whatever function you want to trigger or variable you want to change.
	} else if(!Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
		urrh = true;
	}
}

I think this should work.

(!Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))

Ah, that exclamation mark only says "When this is false".
So basically !Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) can be translated to When SPACE is NOT down.
