onEnterFrame and key.isdown

[calve]

I'm using the onEnterFrame to capture key presses,
but it is keeping the action too much fast, and I
need to press the keyboard carelly...

code:

---

onEnterFrame = function() {

if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {

mc.nextFrame;

} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {

mc.prevFrame;

}

};

---

what can I do to make this whith a interval between the presses automaticaly?

here's one suggestion, you may want to create seperate timers for up and down keys. now it's the same time to regulate them both.

var start_date = new Date();
var start_time = start_date.getTime();
var time_limit = 500;

onEnterFrame = function() {
	var now_date = new Date();
	var now_time = now_date.getTime();
	if(now_time-start_time> time_limit){
        if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
                mc.nextFrame;
        } else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
                mc.prevFrame;
        }
		start_time = now_time;
	}
}

use time_limit to controll the intervals

great, it works, but when I change time_limit variable,
not happens... why?

what do you change it to??
it's defined in milliseconds so you may not notice the changes if they are very small

uhh, today I solved the problem:

code:

---

time_limit = 200;

start_date = new Date();

start_time = start_date.getTime();

onEnterFrame = function() {

	now_date = new Date();

	now_time = now_date.getTime();

	if (now_time-start_time > time_limit) {

		if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {

			pi.nextFrame();

			start_time = now_time;

		} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {

			pi.prevFrame();

			start_time = now_time;

		}

	}

}
