Vipin:

My initial thought is to trap for the alt key in director. If the projector
detects the key is pressed, send a call to a function in your SWF.

<Director Lingo-- I usually place this code in a movie script labeled "start
movie">

-- prepareMovie is called before first frame is loaded
on prepareMovie
-- keyDownScript assigns a function for capturing and handling
-- all keys pressed.
keyDownScript = "checkKeys"
end prepareMovie

on checkKeys
-- Check to see if the keys are pressed. If they are call to SWF
--
-- _key.key uses the (ANSI) value that is assigned to the key, not the
-- numerical value. _key.keyCode uses the numerical value, not the
-- American National Standards Institute (ANSI) value.
if (_key.optionDown and _key.key = "j") then
-- If the AS function is in the _root timeline call with this syntax
sprite(flashSprite).altPressed()
-- If the AS function is in a clip timeline call with this syntax
sprite(flashSprite).myClip.altPressed()
else
put "Key pressed ="&&_key.key
end if
end checkKeys

Hope this helps...

Subject: [Flashcoders] Problem capturing the ALT key

Hello All,

I am doing a project where we are embedding a flash swf in director and
making projector.

My problem hers is when i am in the projector, the ALT key is not getting
captured.

And i really need this for giving one short-cut key. (The client is mad
about it).

Please help me if you have any solution for this.

Thanks'
Vipin
