Hi there,
I don't know if it might be better to start a new thread, but this question is
related to porting my code from AS2 to AS3 as suggested in this thread. Can
anyone please help? It is (I think) a simple problem.
I can't get keyboard and mouse events to function properly. KeyBoard events
(KEY_DOWN) don't seem to have any effect while mouse events only work
occasionally. Below is a minimal example. When I run it and press keys and the
mouse (while flash has focus), I occasionaly see "onMouseDown():called",
although it is very random, the number of traces is much fewer than the amount
of actual mouse presses and generelly require at least 2 seconds between
presses to register (although sometimes it does not work even when I wait
longer). Key presses do not result in any traced output.
(I did check wheter the problem perhaps lies with "trace()" by doing someting
in the event-functions, but this is not the case).
Please help somebody!
Thanks
Izak

Re: [osflash] Am I overlooking any crucial tools? @Daren.. Thanks, but we use
our own logging system that has different output options.

@Daren: With AS2 I had been using a similar custom class to write to the
top-level of the movie; based on that I had completely the wrong idea of what
trace() should do. I'll try using trace() and 'tail' to output to shell and
file; it seems useful.

Sorry for the confusion; I just meant as a way to identify that you are
using the debug player. Like you Debugger doesn't actually do anything
for me.
BTW, I have a Logger class that has an option to write to the top-level
of the movie, and hide/show with the D key. It is open source (as soon
as I get around to doing a release); if you want a copy before then let
me know.
