Enter Button

[carlosrapa]

I need to beable to turn the enter button off... so that I can force it not to play the complete movie when pressed... anyway to do this??

I have a very long and tedious swf... that utilizes next buttons and when someone presses enter they screw everything up..

I am attempting to make this web-app as simple and non-end user breakable as possible.

I have flash MX 2004 pro.

Please Help Thanks a Bunch,
Carlos

im not sure i understand but here is how you disabled a button

enter_mc.enabled = false;

I'm pretty sure when your movie is published....the enter button wont advance your movie to the next frame like it does when U R 'testing' the movie inside Flash.

strangely enough it does advance the movie... but I kind of found out why... I have it embedded in a lotus notes form.... and for somereason things do not work how they should when it is like that... so I need some kind of actionscript to take care of it which is based inside the movie.

Thanks,
Carlos

Thats freakish.

Try this-

Place in frame 1 of your movie:

k = new Object();
Key.addListener(k);
k.onKeyDown = function() {
l = Key.getCode();
if (l == 13) {
_root.stop();
}
};

Yes it is freakish... thats the problem with companies that want to embbed a flash into lotus notes...

Dealing with lotus and flash together is an all-a-round pain.

But that did work although i just took out the _root.stop(); to look like this...

k = new Object();
Key.addListener(k);
k.onKeyDown = function() {
l = Key.getCode();
if (l == 13) {

}
};

Cause at somepoints in the movie it needs to play and my luck some idiot will hit enter and break it...

Thanks,
Carlos
