Hi all! 🙂

I have this maze, with a dot (player), moving on keypress (Key.isDown function).

When I run it on any other machine than my own, the movie itself slows down and pauses when i hold down the key… ☹

And as soon as I let go, it resumes playing… until i press a key again… then slows down, and pauses…

WHY?? This is seriously PMO… 😱

Hey eilsoe,  
Would it be possible for you to post the SWF up? I would like to see how it runs on my comp. Have you tried using the key method for a button:

```php
on (keyPress "<Down>") {
	//addsomething
}

```

I found that to work, but you are treading on waters that I have yet traveled over 🙂 I am still stuck in the Flash 5 AS world, so you may want to take my advice lightly!

Cheers!  
Kirupa :hat:

Hehe, i know 🙂

I’m boosting the time to 120 seconds soon… that should be enough.

All i need now is a transition from the game scene to the selection scene. Animations for the vac blowing up, and one for the vac burning.

And finally some sounds…

Then it’s done 🙂
