I'm making a game where you move a walking character with the arrow keys. Is there any way to make it so when you're holding a key down you can't push any of the other arrow keys? i only want 4 direction movement. Thanks.

First off it would help if you mentioned which version of flash your working with.

Second, I do not think much flash is done around here, so maybe you would like to try restating your question here:

Keep in mind that is mainly for Flash CS3 I believe, but most likely you will find a helpful community over there to help you troubleshoot these kinds of problems.

Goodluck,

Hey, I'm looking into Flash.

Is it free? If not, how much is it?

Thanks.

There may be a few Flash Editors around that are free, cheap or open source, however the industry standard is Adobe Flash CS3 I believe. And that costs a fair bit.

So... there are different versions?

Yes, I believe there are free, cheap, or open source alternatives to Adobe Flash. I would not feel comfortable recommending one though as I have never used flash much.

Maybe someone else can help elaborate, otherwise you might want to try asking on a flash specific website about free or open source alternatives.

However a bit of googling did turn up this blog comparing adobe/macromedia with some free/opensource stuff out there:

Thanks a ton ^^

That site is cool =D

Agreed. That site is quite a useful resource. Well worth a bookmark.

As for questions about using the industry standard Adobe/Macromedia Flash, we actually have a program-specific help thread here which is watched from time to time by the few Flash users we have on Neo. I know it's pretty much completely dead but chances are that pro's like Sonic Flash at least have it saved as a favourite thread.
