Fairly traditionally, in my Flash/CS3 game I want the user to hold down SHIFT key to make their character run instead of walking. However on Windows I keep getting the “do you want to enable stickykeys” popup as a result. Is there a way to avoid this in Flash, or should I just use a different key… if so are there other keys I should blacklist as well?
There’s the option of disabling the key in Windows, which for me personally is amongst the first things I do on a fresh install. Under
Control Panel,Accessibility/Ease of Access Center(depending on which version of Windows exactly) you will find a lot of the different options. Usually, the key to trigger stuff on and off (and whether it should be used) is hidden away in a seperate screen belonging to the function, meaning a simple button on XP or a hyperlink on Vista and above.In my eyes the best course of action is to patiently go through the entire Accessibility section of your Control Panel, look at every screen/dialog, and just turn off all the stuff you don’t need, which probably is pretty much everything. To boot, at the same time you will be able to make the list you need of key combinations to avoid in your game. 🙂
