Hi there, hope someone can help me. The code I’ve posted below effectively navigates from frame label to frame label using a mouse click eventListener. What has me stumped is I need to alter the code so specific keyboard presses trigger the navigation instead of mouse events, similar to powerpoint functionality:
Next label = keycode 40 & 32 ( Down arrow and space bar)
Previous frame (back to last bullet item) = keycode 38 (up arrow)
I made a vain attempt using KeybaordEvent, but this detects any keyboard action, not a specific key. Unfortunately, this is just a tad beyond my skillset so I would really appreciate some assistance!
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, seekNextLabel);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, prevFrameLabel);
/move forward to next label… need to use DOWN arrow AND space bar
instead of mouseclick/
function seekNextLabel(event:MouseEvent) {
var temp:String = currentLabel;
while(currentLabel == temp && currentFrame < totalFrames) {
nextFrame();
}
stop();
if(currentFrame == totalFrames) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
trace(currentLabel);
trace(currentFrame);
}
/back up one frame from current label (to end of last bullet point)
uses key_up event, want to use UP arrow/
function prevFrameLabel(whichEvent:Event):void {
var startLabel:String = this.currentLabel;
while (currentLabel == startLabel) {
prevFrame();
if (currentFrame == 1) {
break;
}
}
trace(currentLabel);
trace(currentFrame);
}
Thanks much,
