Quick Time Event how to assign two keys simultaneously instead of one

[commoniq_49504929]

Hello, masters!

Heres a nice trivial question which is a lot to me still.

I talked about how to create a Quick Time Event system which is to press a key on time to move on. Now I want to know how to press TWO keys in order to advance, possibly even 3! Thanks ❤️

import flash.events.KeyboardEvent; 

import flash.ui.Keyboard; 

function keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void 

{ 

     if (currentScene.name == "Scene 1") 

     { 

          if (e.keyCode == Keyboard.E) 

               gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 2"); 

     }

Aside using the mobile gestures, this kind of thing would fall back to AS3 traditionally tracking one key at a time. One event will fire per key but not at the same time. Here is an older post where Ned mentions a way how to handle something like this:

Recognizing multiple key presses in As3

It'd be useful to handle this within a Timer so here is some example code that initialized a timer but did not fully use it, but it should get you more than started:

actionscript 3 - Multiple key press conditionals in AS3

Both are doing essentially the same thing except if you set the Timer to a short amount of milliseconds as they did (100), and both keys are found to be pressed that close together, it's a bit more realistic to expect they were pressed together.

You'll want to clear anything you were looking for either when the Timer end fires or on KEY_UP so you are ready to trap the next. Here's the API just for reference:

Thanks, I'll look into to this.
