on(keyPress "<Enter>"){

[netchen]

hi!

i am doing an application where only the keyboard should be used. it all works fine with the direction buttons on the keyboard (left, right, up, down) but when i want to enable the enter button it doesn't work. i want the movie to jump to a specific frame or play a specific mc when the enter button is clicked. the code on one button is ie:

     on(keyPress "<Left>"){
	  gotoAndStop(10);
     }

     on(keyPress "<Down>"){
	  gotoAndStop(3);
     }

     on(keyPress "<Enter>"){
	  _root.mc_test.gotoAndStop(2);
     }

it works fine to got left and right but when i press the enter button it always jumps to the next frame of the main timeline and doesn't recognise what i want it to do.

any suggestions?

thanks

might be better to use a key listener

myListener = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.getCode() == Key.ENTER) {
_root.mc_test.gotoAndStop(2);
}
};
Key.addListener(myListener);

sorry just tested the above and i cant explain why its not working

i added a trace and got the correct value for all other keys but nothing at all for enter

myListener = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
trace(key.getCode())
if (Key.getCode() == key.ENTER) {
trace("ENTER");
}
};
Key.addListener(myListener);

i just tried it as well and nothing happens? how is that possible???

for some reason it works fine in a published movie but not in the authoring environment. publish the movie and all is well. strange.

thanks! it works well now!

Maybe because "ENTER" is reserved within the application...
