I'm sure this doesn't cover every possibility but will something like the
following work?
-- in the card I put
on arrowKey pKey
set the cKeyDown of this stack to pKey
pass arrowKey
end arrowKey
on rawKeyUp pKey
if pKey is among the items of "65361,65362,65363,65364" then
if the cKeyDown of this stack is not empty then set the cKeyDown of
this stack to empty
end if
pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp
--And in a button I put
local tRunning
on mouseUp
if tRunning is empty then put false into tRunning
put not tRunning into tRunning
checkarrow
end mouseUp
command checkArrow
if tRunning then
switch (the cKeyDown of this stack is empty)
case false
put the cKeyDown of this stack
break
case true
put "No Key is down"
break
end switch
send checkArrow to me in 10 milliseconds
end if
end checkArrow
Depending on your needs this might be enough. It doesn't handle 2 arrow
keys being pressed (shouldn't be too bad to modify it so that you can
handle multiple arrow presses, instead of just checking against ALL arrow
keycodes could have a property for each direction keycode and only wipe out
the specific arrow key that is released)
To test, set up the stack as described, click the button to start the
monitoring and then hit your keys. Should show results in the msg box.
