Hi folks,
I'm creating a small presentation in ver.4. Here's how i'd like it to run. The movie is divided into sections where information is displayed in chunks for the audience to view. One section plays then stops. I'd like to allow the audience to "hit any key to continue" sort of thing. Now i realise every section will be have a stop action, my question is, how can I set up the "press any key to continue" - function for it?
Thanks, Yutz

Hmm...i honestly can't think of a way to do that in flash 4. it's much easier if you just say hit space to continue or hit enter to continue, etc. sorry i couldn't be more help. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif[/img]

why is it i feel i've already answered this? hmm...guess my post was lost. or maybe i never had a chance to post it.
anyway, the gist of my earlier post was this:
1) create an invisible button - put it anywhere unobtrusive on the page (try and make it as small as possible, just to make sure that it isn't going to interfere with the end user's browsing experience).
2) give the button an onMouseEvent action - and select keyPressed as the action
3) make the keyPressed be <space>
4) do whatever action you need within there.
for example:
on keyPressed (<space> ) {
goToAndPlay("myscene");
}
i can't say that this is exactly the syntax, so don't cut-n-paste it, but it's along the lines of what you need to do.
hth,

Just want to say thanks for your help Deep, it works prefectly. I don't know why I didn't see this in the "onmouse" section of the scripting. Tunnel vision I guess.
Regards, Yutz
