Animate Project - Keyboard functions

Hi everyone,

 

I wonder if someone could help me.  I'm making a website using Adobe Animate with the goal of making it look like a video game.  Most of what I want to do I've figured out, but I'm wondering if someone could help me with a finer detail that's escaped me.  At the beginning of the website/game, a button will appear on the screen saying "Press X to continue".  What I want visitors to be able to do is either of the following;

 

- Upon mouse click of the button, proceed to frame X and stop.

- Upon pressing X on the keyboard, proceed to frame X and stop.

 

Does anyone know how this is achievable please?  Many thanks to all who respond!

 

Chris

    Hi.

     

    You could write something like this:

    var root = this;

function startFromPointer()
{
	root.gotoAndStop(1);
}

function startFromKeyboard(e)
{
	if (e.key === "x")
	{
		window.removeEventListener("keydown", startFromKeyboard);
		root.gotoAndStop(1);
	}
}

root.stop();
root.pressToStartButton.on("click", startFromPointer, null, true);
window.addEventListener("keydown", startFromKeyboard);

     

    I hope it helps.

     

    Regards,

    JC
