keyboard movement not working in browser

[P15TOL]

Hi everyone,

Im working on a game where the movement is controlled by keyboard keys. It works in flash 'test movie' and DID work in a browser preview but now it doesnt. The keys just dont work on an HTML preview.


Any ideas whats going on?

Many thanks,

Pete M

it might sound stupid, but have u clicked the swf with your mouse before trying to hit the keyboard???

In other words, does the movie & keyboard have focus?

after having 'focushhhhhh' drilled into me for the last 3 years at uni by my lecturer you would have thought that I would have done that!!

Thanks guys,


another problem (sorry - still a bit of an actionscript newbie)

I have 3 randomly generated movieclips (duplicated)

I have 2 movieclips i want to hittest against each other.
The 'baddie' should die (ie: disappear) and the hero should lose 25 of his health. This works for 2 of the clips but not for the first one, where the health is lost as long as the clips are in contact.....

anyone (please!)

ps: as an afterthought - I am shooting bullets at the 'baddies'. when the bullet has hit a baddie I need it to disappear so it cant hit more......

thanks again
