Sure, you could go the frame.
if keyPressed ( "x" ) then
go the frame + 1
else
go the frame
end if
You might prefer setting the keyDownScript though, because
keyPressed, once it gets a value, keeps that value until another key
is pressed.
What you might want to do is span this behavior across however many
frames of score you want to have animating under key control:
PROPERTY pyState
on beginSprite me
pyState = #hold
END beginSprite
on exitFrame me
if pyState = #hold then
go the frame
else
go the frame + 1
end if
END exitFrame
on keyDown me
if the key = "a" then
pyState = #proceed
else
pyState = #hold
end if
END keyDown
on keyUp me
pyState = #hold
END keyUp
Note that there's a beginSprite here; that's not a typo. The score
script channel is more or less a sprite channel for hte purposes of
making behaviors. You cna put the above code into the score script
and span it across as many frames as you want.
The idea is that as long as the user has pressed the 'a' key and kept
it pressed, the playhead will move to the next frame in the series.
As soon as the key is released or any other key is pressed,
everything holds on the frame in which the key event was detected.
