Reply to:   RE: <lingo-l> esc and enter
Here's the short answers to your questions.

>(intested) example for movie scripts

In your startMovie/preparemovie handler: 
set the exitLock = TRUE  -- this will stop the esc key from quitting the projector
set the keyUpScript = "checKey"    --this will trap keystrokes (you probably have your 
own done already)

on checKey
lastKey = the keyCode   --a code for the last key pressed
  case lastKey of
      53:   go movie "exit"   --keyCode 53 is the esc key
-- other keystrokes here
  end case
end


And I have an exercise in which >I'm supposed to write some text and when I press

button (on >mouseup me), and when I press enter it just jumps to a new line in the

In your behavior attached to the editable text (text should be set to 'fixed' size on 
stage) you need to trap the enter key as it is pressed (on keyDown), before it is 
released (on keyUp), so that it does not get entered in to the text field as a line 
break.


on keyDown me
  --your code here
  stopEvent  --should be unnecessary, it stops the keyDown event getting passed 
further along
end
