Question

Joystick Control with AS3

My project is to see if a joystick will interact with Flash? Does anyone have any examples I can see. I'm totally in the dark on this. A couple of links I've looked at and found code... but it doesn't reconigize the joystick, but it does appear to be possible to react with a joystick.

Thanks

Really easy using GlovePie.

I've use GlovePie to allow control using the Ninetendo Wii Controller in lieu of WiiFlash (which is garbage).

Thanks, I'll check it out. I've been using a Logitech

Gamepad 310 to try testing. Found an old AS2 file

but am not fully convinced it is exactly for us. Any AS3 files I can find to check out and

look at would be better. We plan on building our own joystick controller to simulat

e a control panel we are working on.

Thanks for the feedback. If you think of any others let me know.

THANKS!!!

I don't know of any others, but probably there are some. GlovePIE is used by many and allows different devices to talk to your computer - and you write pie scripts which translate those devices to key clicks or mouse moves - which Flash can just use like normal. Worked very well for my needs.
