AS3 Keyboard events during lag 2011-12-09 22:00:12 Reply

I've noticed that when the game drops frames, keyboard events may sometimes not register, and the key is "stuck" down for a couple of frames longer than intended.
In a highly precision based game, this is a nightmare, is there anything that can be done to work around it?

If the keyboard events DOWN and UP, and the EnterframeEvent are only being called once a frame, then you need to optimize the code and/or add quality settings.
