[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=black]When I hold the W key and S key simultaneously, neither the A key nor D key will respond. [/COLOR]However, when I hold A and D simultaneously, either W or S \*will \*respond. **No combinations of W/A/S/D where W and S are already down seem to work, besides W and S _alone_.** [/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=black]I would like to get this to work correctly for games, but the error seems very basic. What’s going on?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=black]I have attached the file, which is very simple - 4 MCs that change color if their key is down. There is no other actionscript in the file.[/COLOR][/FONT]
