[Flashcoders] Prevent space button passing click event to button (as3)

I have created a game in AS3 that uses the SPACE bar on the keyboard to make the character jump. I have encountered a problem whereby pressing the SPACE bar causes a button on my game screen to be clicked. I read up that setting buttonMode to false would fix this but it does not seem to like me

RE: [Flashcoders] Prevent space button passing click event to button (as3)

My guess is that the button has the focus at that particular moment. So maybe you can set button.mouseEnabled = false; And set a listener to enable the button on pe. if mouseX and mouseY is at a specific point. HTH -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com

but it isn't a MovieClip, is it ? A MovieClip can contain a (or multiple) Bitmaps, but a Bitmap cannot contain a MovieClip, so are these really the same ? and if you take lots of them: lots of Bitmaps are better than lots of MovieClips. ... or you can convert a MovieClip to Bitmap, but the

Re: [Flashcoders] Prevent space button passing click event to button (as3)

Buttons are meant to be pressed like that. You are using the wrong object for the job. Here is my take on it: you have a game where there are button instances in the gui. I would add the keyboard listener to the stage as usual. However, in the listener, I would add a condition to ignore

RE: [Flashcoders] Prevent space button passing click event to button (as3)

Thanks for the replies. When you say buttons are meant to be pressed like that - do you mean that it is standard practice to use the tab key to move between buttons and then use the SPACE key to click it? You are correct in assuming I have a game where there is a button on the interface that

Thanks Henrik - yes totally agree that it is a great accessibility feature - I guess it just tripped me up as this wasn't the case in AS2 as far as I am aware - think it was the enter button previously? -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com

[Flashcoders] AIR: Application opened by someone else?

I was wondering if there is a framework for determining if an AIR application has been opened by more than one person on a network? I have a data file that the AIR application opens and allows editing for. Works great, however instances of the application all open the same data file. The chances

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR: Application opened by someone else?

What you are mentioning sounds like the most logical course of action. You're basically implementing a 'lock' file within the application. The only issue with this approach is 'wedging' which can occur. If a user opens the application and their computer crashes, the file will be locked with no way

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR: Application opened by someone else?

Chris, That's an interesting idea about the hard crash/power loss interval stamping. That's a circumstance I didn't think about. Right now I am displaying the number of running instances (if more than 1) and warning the users in the UI about data stomping... I'm not locking the data at the

[Flashcoders] AIR: application quit via update mech

I am supplying cleanup for my application when a user quits the application view close button and control-q. Works great. However if there is an update triggered for the application, the updater quits my app and seems to bypass my cleanup mechanism (is there a special event to listen for) - or is
