Hi I’m making a game but I’m not that good at Flash so I have a problem.

I know how to control objects using your keyboard, like in tutorial, and i usethis to move an object to left and right ( i disabled DOWN and UP keys). now it has to drop something by presssing Ctrl or so. Any idea how to do this?

I’m not quite sure what you’re asking but i think you should be able to use

```php

on (keypress"<Ctrl>") {
(put your actions here)
}

```

sorry, my mistake you’ll probably have to use the space bar instead. like this

```php

on (keyPress "<Space>") {
	(your actions)
}

```

If it’s for a game… Then place this in your main game loop.

[AS]  
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL))  
{  
dropSomething();  
}  
[/AS]

There you go man… Or you can do the onpress factor of that… But… If it’s for a game… I’d suggest this style right here.
