function KeyDown(event : KeyboardEvent) : void{ if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT){ Keys[0] = event.keyCode; } if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT){ Keys[1] = event.keyCode; } if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN){ Keys[2] = event.keyCode; } if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP){ Keys[3] = event.keyCode; }}

function KeyUp(event : KeyboardEvent) : void{ for(var i:Number = 0; i < Keys.length; i++){ if(Keys[i] == event.keyCode){ Keys.splice(i, 1, 0); } }}

then i just called the individual key i needed in my code below.

I am using 4 arrow keys so having that many bools would be mentally distrubing for me so what I did is create an array of “keys that are pressed” where the first one was the most recently pressed.

Whenever a key is pressed its added to the front of the array IFF it is not already on it (weird bugs avoided here), and when a key is released it is removed from the array if it is in it. I then have a move method called on the loop, if the length of the array is 0 it just returns, but if its not it moves in the direction of the most recent key.

Hope this helps someone,
David
