where 2 put flash5 event (keypress) handler?? argh

[palfons]

hi,
i'm not a weenie @ all and i've written the hardest code, but this is really killin me: where do i have to put the event-handler code for the keypress event in flash5?

the actionscript-dictionary is no help (i wonder how they match what they write and what they did) and i've found all the phorum tipps to be not working with flash5 either.

i've created extra movies, extra buttons, tried to put the code everywhere the IDE let me ... nothing but errors. a basic form of the code i tried to paste looks like:

onClipEvent(keyDown) {
if (Key.getCode() == 32) {
do_my_func ()
}
}

but believe me, i tried many many many variation.

(code like
On (Key: a)
Set Variable: "keypresses" = keypresses & "a"
End On
did not work at all as well - no matter where i put it)

is there anyone who can help me?? pleeeaze?

puh, i needed 2 days to think about it ... what a pain. well, well, it's not java ;-) but i like it! :-)

the answer was to paste all the events into one event handler statement:

on (release, keypress "3") {
add_digit ("3");
}

(and forget about the Key object and other lightweighted-OOP stuff)

groovy, isn't it?
