Hi

I'm using class files

Thanks

something doesn't make sense. what does the following trace() reveal:

in Game.as:

function init(e:Event):void{

_stage=stage;

trace(stage); //is this line 38?

Key.initialize(stage);

you're reporting inconsistant results which is going to make it impossible to help you via a forum.

no code has changed between the code that triggered a Key.as error and the last example that does not contain a Key.as error.

What can I do because this is really annoying

Report · Mar 13, 2013

you either need to use the same steps to test your swf so you can report consistant results or hire someone to fix this for you.
