RE: FLASH: key press woes and Load Movie levels/mc

[Paul Willoughby]

Hi Matt,


I don't get why that happens, as the keypress is a boolean true or false,

there's no 'keyup' command in F4. Unless you are setting a variable to force

a reaction? Anyway, here's the code to move a movie clip left, right, up and

down with the keyboard arrows (in increments of 5 pixels):


On (Key: <Up>)

      Set Property ("/mC", Y Position) = GetProperty("/mC", _y) - 5

End On

On (Key: <Down>)

      Set Property ("/mC", Y Position) = GetProperty("/mC", _y) + 5

End On

On (Key: <Left>)

      Set Property ("/mC", X Position) = GetProperty("/mC", _x) - 5

End On

On (Key: <Right>)

      Set Property ("/mC", X Position) = GetProperty("/mC", _x) + 5

End On
