HitEnter Bug! Please help!

[skybucks100]

Hi, I wanted it so that when you type something in the chat bar and hit enter so that you wouldn't have to click the button. This is the code I have been using:

Code: Select all

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>")
{
    if (!_global.isBusy)
    {
        sendChatMsg();
    } // end if
}


But its not working any help?

Key.addListener(keyListener);

var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
sendChatMsg();
}
};

Key.addListener(keyListener);

var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
sendChatMsg();
}
};

I tried using:
on (release) {
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
sendChatMsg();
}
};
}
And it doesn't work do I need to use:
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
sendChatMsg();
}
};
}

dont use on(release) Thats only used for a button or movieClip.

The keylistener object watches for an event of a key being pressed. If the enter key is pressed the sendChatMsg() function is fired. Enter the code exactly as I showed you. Cut and paste.

And... Well, It doesn't allow you to hit enter and then speak

make sure that sendChatMsg is fired. Add a trace statement to ensure it's working.

And make sure it has something to send via smartfox.sendPublicMessage(). You will need to add text as an argument to this function. e.g.

function sendChatMsg() {

smartFox.sendPublicMessage("hello");
}

instead of a literal you probably have a text box that contains the message you want to send e.g. chatbox.text which holds the message. then use something like: smartFox.sendPublicMessage(chatbox.text);

I don't know if this was resolved, but this is one method I used in a few of my games:

Code: Select all

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.ENTER)) {
_root.sendChatMsg();
}
}

You could try that if you want.

(This goes in the "chat" frame coding of the game if your using the SmartFoxServer example files.)
