[AS2] User defined controls

[MasalaFingers]

Hey Everyone,

How do you make user defined controls i.e. the player can decide which keys to press to jump, move etc.?

Thanks,
MF

basically. you have variables that hold the functions that control the player Object. Using a GUI, you could have the person choose which key does which function like:

A = jump

so then

var keyAfunction:function;

//under the GUI
keyAfunction = jump();

//somewhere on the main timeline
function jump(){
player.gotoAndPlay("jump");
//or however you want to make the jump happen
}


//key listener
'when key A is press'{
keyAfunction;
}
