[DevCho]

i have question about keys:
how to make a code thet if i pressed key 'W' the player will go to frame 2 and if i will hold Key 'W' it will go to frame 6?

[WolfAkela]

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(yourkeycode)){
}
}

yourownkeycode list:

Just replace yourkeycode with the key code that appears on the link. Click it, press a key.

just create a variable to do it for you
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(Key.isDown("what ever W is on the ascii code")){
if(pressed==true){
gotoAndStop(6)
}else{
pressed=false
}
}else{
gotoAndStop(1)
}
}

By the way, I realise that that script could easily be optimised, but i am just keeping it simple, in case you are not all that "flash" with scripting

I don't really see your problem doing:

this.onEnterFrame = function(){
  if(Key.isDown(yourkeycode)){
     //your code
  }
}

Does count it for being held down. The isDown() method is checking to see if the Key is Down, so technically it is checking if it is 'held down.'

If you're getting problems with it, it may be better to post the code you're having trouble with

[KyleDaFox]

I would do something along the lines of the way before with the variable, but a bit different.

onLoad = function(){
holdvar = 0
}
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(87)){
holdvar++
}
if(holdvar>=1 && (holdvar <=9 && (!Key.isDown(87)))){ //------------------ Change the 9 if you want a shorter time to count as if you just press it.
	_root.gotoAndStop(2)
}
if(holdvar>=10 && (!Key.isDown(87))){ //------------------ If you change the 9 in the few lines above, you have to make this 10 one number above it.
	_root.gotoAndStop(6)
}
}

It calls a variable equaling 0, and when the key is down, it adds. You can change numbers in the lines marked with ------------ to get say maybe you want a shorter time to be counted as pressed than 10.

If you want to see how this works, make 6 frames, on the first frame, put

stop();

, copy and paste the code i gave you above, and make a dynamic text box with the variable holdvar (YOU DO NOT NEED THIS DYNAMIC TEXT BOX, IT'S JUST TO VISUALLY SHOW WHAT IT DOES).

On the 2nd frame, put the number 2, and on the 6th frame, put the number 6.

You will see the 0 add by 1 when W is down.

Questions? Feel free to ask.

the key acii code or whatever the name is means if key is hold?
and i ASKED ABOUT IF YOU HOLD THE KEY!i know if(Key.isDown){ thing!-i asked about if YOU HOLD THE KEY!!!

[WolfAkela]

Key.isDown() does tell Flash if you're holding a key.

And please, stop screaming.

ya but there is if the key is pressed and if you still holding the key!

[LonLonRanch]

I'm starting to think you don't know what you're talking about. there is no isHeld(); function or anything of the sort. isDown(); is what everyone uses, if you can't figure out how to use it to your desire then I'm sorry, but you there is no reason to get mad at people who are trying to help you.

Yes, I did that with a variable, there is no thing inside of flash that tells if it holds the key, just try out my code, I tested it, it works.

i tried but it isn't work -only when i hold the 'W' key and realesed it....i ment in the time its holding not on reales....

[KyleDaFox]

I'm thinking to do what you want, just take out the second && (!Key.isDown(87))){

onLoad = function(){
holdvar = 0
}
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(Key.isDown(87)){
holdvar++
}
if(holdvar>=1 && (holdvar <=9 && (!Key.isDown(87)))){ //------------------ Change the 9 if you want a shorter time to count as if you just press it.
	_root.gotoAndStop(2)
}
if(holdvar>=10){ //------------------ If you change the 9 in the few lines above, you have to make this 10 one number above it.
	_root.gotoAndStop(6)
}
}

Try that, you aren't quite clear on what you want.

[DevCho]

it doesn't metter if im taking out the second !Key.isDown its still not working...
i ment thet you need to hold 'w' key-as long as you holding him it will go to frame 6 but if you pressing key 'W' just pressing not holding it will go to frame 2!

I just made this, i am sure it works.

onClipEvent (load) {
	counter = 0
	framerate = 12
	//change the framerate var so it matches your actual framerate
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if(Key.isDown(87)){
		counter ++
		setcharge = true
	}
	if(!Key.isDown(87)&& counter > framerate){
		_root.gotoAndStop(3)
		counter = 0
	}
	if(!Key.isDown(87)&& counter < framerate && setcharge == true){
		setcharge = false
		counter = 0
		_root.gotoAndStop(2)
	}
	if(!Key.isDown(87)&& counter < framerate){
		counter = 0
		setcharge = false
	}
}
