on key troubles...

[baskew]

I'm trying to have my movie clip pause/stop when you hit the space bar & on release it continues to play.

I've tried this, but i'm sure its horriblely wrong;

Key.SPACE.onKeyDown = function(stop) {
    Key.SPACE.onKeyUp = function(play) {
    };
};

Try attaching this to your movieclip this:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (key.isDown(Key.SPACE){
_root.yourmovie.stop();
}
if (key.isUp(Key.SPACE){
_root.yourmovie.play();
}
}

opps my bad it's from the 'root of scene 1' i haven't combined it as a movie clip

maybe i should

_root.onKeyDown = function () {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) {
		stop();
		spaceDown = true;
	}
}
_root.onKeyUp = function () {
	if (spaceDown) {
		play();
		spaceDown = false;
	}
}

vevmesteren's code wont work because there is no Key.isUP() meathod.

I tried yours and got this in the output:

Scene=Scene 1, Layer=action b, Frame=1: Line 2: ')' expected
     	if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) {

OK, so i forgot a )...

That means this:

if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)

Should be:

if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE))

[baskew]

hmm, that validates the code.

but it doesn't work.
