    ios Keypressed, and fields not updating

      HI,

       

      I'm using Dir 12, quite successfully, for iOS, but I have a few issues that I need help with.  I'm guessing it's Director itself, but who knows?

       

      keypressed() doesn't work at all in iOS.

       

      Neither does the Key.

       

      In fact, neither does monitoring an editable field for changes!

       

      For example, have an editable field in a frame that just repeats.  In the frame script, simply set an Alert if any text gets entered into the field (field "text" <> "") or even length(field "text")>0 and nothing I can do seems to catch any text entry from a keyboard at all :-(

       

      I program for kids with disabilities and it's critical that I detect a <space> being typed during iOS execution.

       

      Anyone have any ideas?

       

      Or even listens here anymore?

       

      Dir 12 is still GREAT for iOS if you don't need text entry via an external keyboard (Bluetooth).

          Hello RJ,

           

          I would also like to request a way in which an external keyboard could be used with Director iOS publishing.

           

           

          Just to add to RJ’s message above…

           

          I also tried for many hours to get director’s iOS to work with an external keyboard - I tried every bit of keyboard lingo I know - but no luck.

           

          I even tried catching the keyboard requests through the flash xtra - but still no luck.

           

          Has anybody been able to get an external bluetooth keyboard to work with Director iOS?

          (apart from just an editable text field)

           

          regards
