There’s a bug in the file: There is currently no way to create an underscore because the hyphen character doesn’t change to an underscore when the Shift or Caps Lock key is pressed.

Well thats not what I call a bug, it’s just not implemented, but if you want an underscore you can easily change a different character to an underscore.

No, it’s a bug. You initialized the underscore character in numChar2_array (line 40 of KeyBoard.as), but didn’t implement it. It doesn’t make sense that the hyphen button remains a hyphen when the Shift button is pressed.

Here are some of the other bugs in KeyBoard.as: each of the four gotoAndStop() functions in shiftCapsSwitch() is missing a reference to the ‘btn’ clip.

Instead of this:

keyboardMc.keyShift1.gotoAndStop(1); keyboardMc.keyShift2.gotoAndStop(1);

keyboardMc.keyShift1.gotoAndStop(2); keyboardMc.keyShift2.gotoAndStop(2);

It should be this:

keyboardMc.keyShift1.btn.gotoAndStop(1); keyboardMc.keyShift2.btn.gotoAndStop(1);

keyboardMc.keyShift1.btn.gotoAndStop(2); keyboardMc.keyShift2.btn.gotoAndStop(2);

Thank you for such a nice file. I was wondering if I can add a key to clear individual or all text fields?

A clear ‘active’ textfield button is not so hard to build. A ‘clear all’ textfield button is not something for the keyboard, but is something like a for loop with the names of all the textfields.

Can the keyboard be used as an input device outside of your flash movie. IE: we have an interactive kiosk that is connected to Facebook. you select the like button, it opens another window to log in. Can the keyboard be used to input the information within that window?

No, thats not possible, it will only work in the same Flash movie.

Yes that can be done, open the Keyboard.as file and change the ’?’ into ’@’ thats it!

Hi,

Keyboard is working great until I start tweaking. I’m having trouble after I re-skin the keyboard with different button images. I’ve been careful not to disturb the various types of clips. Buttons are still buttons. MovieClips are still MovieClips.

I can’t figure out what I’ve disturbed because it is throwing these errors on the special keys. I appreciate any insight you can offer.

Thanks :)

Hi and thanks,

Sorry for the slow reply. I’m busy on a kiosk project but now I have to get back to the keyboard.

I kind of solved my problem above for awhile. The fix didn’t make sense to me but here is what I did.

To achieve the look of the skin I had drilled into movieClip keyboard mc : key backspace : key big btn where there are 2 frames with the key big shape movieClip. Frame 1 is normal frame 2 is pressed. Same movieClip with different filters. To achieve the look of the skin the filters weren’t going to look the same so I duplicated the “key big shape” to “key big shape pressed” and swapped it into frame 2. That’s when I got all the errors.

Tracing the code it seemed to be getting confused between e.target and e.currentTarget which came out undefined around line 293 where it was passing itself to the addChar function, hence the errors. Putting the key shape btn instance back into frame 2 fixed the issue.

I’m having other issues with it now when I try to use it in multiple situations such as different frame areas where I’m setting the focus to different input textfields. Its getting kind of messy :)

How can I send you my file?

Thanks, Craniac

Hi there!

Kudos for the great AS3 asset! Now here in all latin america we use the special character ñ and Ñ and tried putting it for another character but when I replace it it just gives me a blank key. Could you help me out?

Thanks

You can use these characters if you swap them with a special character like the $ ^ or &. Then all you need to do is add the font character: library > right click ‘Font 1’ > Options > paste these “Ññ” characters in the “Also include these characters:” field.
