Thanks for the reply Wolfy.
I do have pretty much the same setup as you describe.
I have quite a lot of different classes but im pasting my keyboard
object class below:
public class KeyboardObject extends MovieClip
{
private var stageRef;
public var keyIsDown:Boolean = false;
public var keyDownArray:Array;
public function KeyboardObject(_stageRef)
{
this.stageRef = _stageRef;
}
public function init()
{
initKeyDownArray();
this.stageRef.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,
keyDownListener);
this.stageRef.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,
keyUpListener);
}
private function initKeyDownArray()
{
this.keyDownArray = new Array();
}
private function keyDownListener(e:KeyboardEvent)
{
this.keyDownArray[e.keyCode] = true;
if(e.keyCode==Keyboard.LEFT)
{
this.keyDownArray[Keyboard.RIGHT] = false;
}
else if(e.keyCode==Keyboard.RIGHT)
{
this.keyDownArray[Keyboard.LEFT] = false;
}
else if(e.keyCode==Keyboard.UP)
{
this.keyDownArray[Keyboard.DOWN] = false;
}
else if(e.keyCode==Keyboard.DOWN)
{
this.keyDownArray[Keyboard.UP] = false;
}
}
private function keyUpListener(e:KeyboardEvent)
{
this.keyDownArray[e.keyCode] = false;
}
}
In my main class I initialise my keyboard object like so:
var obj:KeyboardObject = new KeyboardObject(this.stage);
Then in every frame of a frame event listener I say:
if(this.obj.keyDownArray[Keyboard.LEFT])
{
//some code
}
I have tested my KeyboardObject object by putting trace's in the
keyUpListener event and I see that the trace sometimes gets called 1-2
seconds after I have let go off the keyboard. This only seems to
happen in areas where the poly count is higher.
I dont know what else to do.
