AS2 key and mouse listeners

[cribeiro]

Is it possible to have full control over key and mouse events inside classes, or do I need to add listeners in the fla file?

You can have all your controls in your classes. I have a "Character" class and it has all its controls inside but I do have to add the listener.

Example:

class Character{
public function onKeyDown():Void{
//handle keys
}
}

then:
import Character;
//new Character(mcName)
var hero:Character = new Character("char_main");

Key.addListener(hero);


This is from an early (and kind of poor) tile-based engine I am working on in AS2 so I am sure there are better ways.

Thank you. That's what I was looking for.
