Button Help

[camelshit]

on actionscript AS2

first, i made a button, what is the code it instead of clicking it 100times i should click it once and it depends on how long i wanted it to be released.

second, is there a code for if a button is pressed a letter on the keyboard will be affected. like when i pressed the circle button it means that im pressing letter "J" on the keyboard which is "74"

any have ideas?

Hi,

didn't understand your first question...

"Pressing" a key on your keyboard in Flash is impossible, because when you check if a key on your keyboard has been pressed, for instance, "J", then you do something accordingly, but Flash never presses those buttons, YOU do. Flash only listens for those key strokes, hence it's not possible to do this solely with Flash.

first of all thanks man

it is holding a button, like holding it down to move my character to the left/right
like in in the keyboard im holding "j" to move my character to the left and releasing "j" to stop

yourBtn.onPress = function(){
    this.onEnterFrame = function(){
        // move character here
    }
}

yourBtn.onRelease = yourBtn.onReleaseOutside = function(){
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

if you write a function to move your character

call it when you click the button
and
when you press the key

is this what you are after
