Does anyone know of any issues between director and flash when it comes to
keyboard events?
�
Using DirectorMX, FlashMX, WindowsXP Pro, Dual PIII, 1GB RAM
�
I have a director application that is being used for a presentation.� It has
three areas: 1 � title screen (press any key to continue), 2 � mpeg2 video,
3 � flash slide show.� The presentation is very linear, however we added
keyboard commands so the presenter can move around the presentation.
�
[ESC] � exits/quits
[HOME] � returns to the title screen
[END] � jumps to flash presentation
[SPACEBAR] � toggle, pauses/plays the video or flash sprite.
[�] � go previous section
[�] � go next section
�
I have 5 .swf files that play in sequence named 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf, etc.
when the user gets to 3.swf the keyboard events in director stop responding.
1.swf is imported into director as a linked member and at the end there is
actionScript that loads the next .swf file in the sequence.� These .swf
files behave like a PowerPoint presentation and there are simple buttons
that the user can go to the next frame label with in each .swf file.� We
have narrowed it down to the 3.swf file using the message window to output
(the key) that was pressed.� It always dies at this file.
�
The client supplied all the .swf files and we are providing the wrapper with
the video and title screen.� Initially the .swf files had keypress events
but we thoroughly took all the keypress events out.� There is nothing
unusual about these flash files that director can�t handle.� Basic
animation, some movie clips, simple action script typical in any basic flash
movie.� When we take 3.swf out of the chain there is no problem.� This had
been driving us nuts and can�t for the life of me figure out why director
stops receiving events on this one file.� This file is no different from the
others, we have stripped it down, checked and double checked.� I would
greatly appreciate any advice or input on why this might be happening.

Below is the behavior used on the frame and flash sprite:

<frame script>
--//beh_fs_keyboard

--//property declarations
property pProgramSprite
�
�
--//EVENT HANDLERS
�
on keyDown(me)
�
� put the key
� put the key.charToNum
�
� case (the key).charToNum of
�����
����� -- esc key
��� 27:
�����
����� bIsPlaying = sendSprite(pProgramSprite, #mIsPlaying)
�����
����� if bIsPlaying then
�������
������� sendSprite(pProgramSprite, #mPlayPause)
�������
����� end if
�����
����� ExitWindow_open()
�����
����� --space bar

�����
����� --end key
��� 4:
����� sWord = the labelList.line.count - 1
����� sLabel = the labelList.word[sWord]
����� go to marker(sLabel)�����
�����
