Hey everybody,

After finding little or no good tutorials on AS3 car/vehicle movement and taking a guess that many people might have the same problem as I do, I decided to post it here 🙂

Heres the deal, I’m attempting to recreate the old game Asteroids, just as a little project for myself (no angry clients waiting 😃 ). I’m controlling the triangle by using KeyboardEvents but while holding down the shoot button (Space Bar) I am unable to go forward and turn left, however I have no problems going forward and turning right at the same time :-/  
It feels as though the keys are becoming “sticky”.

All files needed for the project are attached in the zip file

Any help is greatly appreciated, and like I said I’m sure theres been plenty of people with this same problem!
