Hi,
Im doing a flash project that is hooked up to a PIR sensor which triggers a keypress to make the SWF play. Only problem is that the sensor keeps triggering the keypress which makes the swf start over and over again. How would I tell actionscript to only recognise the keypress once and to only play the swf once only?
Thanks for the quick reply, would removing the event listener work after the key has been pressed once only ya? Like basically instead of the sensor triggering the key G for example, it triggers it by going G G G G again and again as the sensor is a motion detector, so would removing the event listener prevent this from restarting the swf a number of times?
yep - if you remove the listener inside the handler function then it will get removed once a key is pressed. something like this:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent, handler);
function handler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent, handler);
}
(once you remove the listener, there is no way for the handler function to get called again, so the swf launch will only happen once)
