Question

Ok, so I am creating a slideshow presentation in Flash CS5. The code is very basic, however it does not work as intended. It’s supposed to go to the next frame if i press a button, or press up/right arrow on the keyboard. However, the keyboard only works after I’ve pressed a button once.

my code:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

slides.stop();

addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyD);
FB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextSld);
BB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, prevSld);

function keyD(evt){
    var k = evt.keyCode;
    if(k==37||k==38){ 
        prevSld(evt);
    }
    if(k==39||k==40){ 
        nextSld(evt);
    }
}
function nextSld(evt){
    slides.nextFrame();
    }
function prevSld(evt){
    slides.prevFrame(); 
}

slides is a movieclip, where I’ve stored all my slides (Oh, by the way, I know my setup isn’t the best, but I wouldn’t use a lot of time on it, as it’s for a religion class). FB is forward button, and you can guess what BB is…

Now, I would just make sure my problem isn’t here, and maybe someone can point out the problem, even though this probably don’t fit on this board.

change addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyD); to stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyD);
