Hi guys, I know all about key.isDown (65) or whatever...

but I can't seem to get keyPress working.

on (keyPress "<Left>")
{
this._alpha -= 10;
}

works no problem. How do I make it work with a non-named key, such as A, which is 65

on (keyPress 65) doesnt work, neither does on(keyPress "65") , neither does on (keyPress "A")

What is the syntax?

That actually does work if you want "A" to be pressed (Shift+"A"), but since I am pretty sure you are going for wasd direction controls and not the lettter "A" you have to do it like os:



Works in Flash 8, AS 2.0

Hope tha thelps.

Betawar,

Im trying to get my character to jump ONLY when you press Up.

I DONT want the player to be able to "bounce" the character by HOLDING up.

This is currently my jump code.



Im getting frustrated because I set the game up to allow only single jumping at first ( with a fuel bar ), then upgrade to allow double jumping/triple jumping.

I can't seem to do it with Up Arrow tho. If I press Up arrow, not only will he jump, he'll deplete the fuel tank because onClipEvent(enterFrame) registers the keys being down WAY too fast. I want the character to have to single hit Up to jump once and only once.


To fix this problem with the depletion of fuel without getting a double jump, I have made A the double jump button ( only usable in air ). How do I make it work with one button? I already tried an if statement inside an if statement, it still registers 2 presses of Up arrow in like .000005 of a second.


heres an example.

please note that you can only double jump once ( with A ) once now because the fuel system IS working

I would suggest coming out with something a little different than placing your controls within an onEnterFrame function, try creating a key listener (like so):


and placing your controls inside it.

Then to make it so you can jump multiple times try something like so:



And then have it so when the character hits the ground it sets jumps = 0;

When the placer gets the upgrade your jump abilities all you have to do is update the max_jups variable.

Hope that helps.
