goto and stop using keyboard buttons?

Sep 19, 2012 8:51 AM

Hi,

Is this possible...

Got a simple presentation using go to and stop on frame label. It scrolls through the presentation pages via the forward and back buttons.

However is it possible to use the keyboard forward and back buttons to control the forward and back movement of the pages.

This is a last minute request from my client..so looking for a simple solution if possible.

Thanks

You can assign a listener for the keys, though I am not sure what you are considering to be the forward and back buttons for the keyboard...

var keyListener:Object = new Object();
Key.addListener(keyListener);

keyListener.onKeyDown = function(){
if(Key.getCode() == Key.LEFT) trace("left"); // replace the traces with your goto commands
if(Key.getCode() == Key.RIGHT) trace("right");
}
