Artifacts when moving object with arrow keys.

Hi all
hope this is the right place to post this question.
I want to to write simple arkanoid game in Flash (AC3). I've managed to write code that moves my paddle with arrow keys. The code looks like this:
function OnNewFrame(event:Event):void
    if (input.IsLeftHeld)
        if (paddle.x > 0)
            paddle.x -= 10;
    else
    if (input.IsRightHeld)
        if (paddle.x < stage.stageWidth - paddle.width)
            paddle.x += 10;
It works but the result is ugly. The animation is not fluent, there are times when paddle stops for a moment . Also when speed of translation is high (here it is 10) you can see that paddle is flickering at the ends, it looks like single buffering problem. You can see both of those effects here: http://www.flash-game-design.com/flash-tutorials/movOb.html , hovewer flickering is less visible due to small translation amount.
How to fix this? How can i enable double buffering (or maybe it is enabled by default)? Any help will be appreciated.
P.S. sorry for bad english

Thanks for samples, this is very kind ; p
Hovewer you are doing everything almost exactly as I'am doing. Tou are using mySymbol.x++ which means your translation speed is 1. Also I'am aware that rising frame rate will result in smoother animations, but this is not the point. So once again, my flash applications suffer from two problems:
1) Animations are not smooth. You can see this crealrly in here: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/hittest.htm , go back to the very bottom of the page, there is an animation window, look at the smallest circle. It looks like its blinking.
2) Moving symbols with arrow keys with the method i've presnted in the first post (the same method that infeter uses ). Moved symbol is randomly stopping for the very (very very) short amount of time. You can easily spot this in infeter sample.
Many sample applications i've seen suffer from those issues. and nobody seems to see the problem, so maybe I am delusional? ; p
cheers and thank for help

Can't move an object with arrow keys - CS3

In Fash CS3, suddenly, in certain files, I can't move an object left using arrow keys - but I can move the same object right, or if I hold down Shift + left arrow, it works correctly
Also - I can move the object down with arrow keys, but not up
Workaround - move an object on a different layer, then return to the problem object and it moves correctly. But this doesn't last long, the problem resurfaces.
Does anyone have a solution for this? (I've tried rebooting; tried copying all the layers into a new file - no help.)

Now, working in the same file, I just clicked on a stroke and it changed the stroke from a smooth curve to angular lines.
I suspect this file is corrupt. Any thoughts on how to salvage the weeks of work that have gone into it? Every version of this file has the same issues.
Thanks for any help.

Moving shape with arrow keys

Hello,
How would I click on one of the circles I've created and move them using the arrow keys. The circles move just fine with the drag of the mouse but now I want to use the arrow keys. Can somebody help me please? I would really appreciate the assistance.

A couple of notes:
- That code did not add the keyListener to anything.
- At the moment (in the altered code below), only the blue circle moves, and only left/right. It is left as an exercise to the OP to 'take it from there'.
- It only took four more lines of code to turn that code into an SSCCE*, which will generally get more help.
- Please use code indentation, and the code formatting delimiters, when posting code. It makes code a lot easier to read and understand.
* The SSCCE is described at..

I can no longer move an object with arrow keys

Pretty sure I have inadvertently disabled the option to select an object and move it with the arrow keys on my keyboard, but cannot figure out what I did - or how to enable that option again.
Illustrator CC
27" iMAC late 2013
OS 10.9.5

Found the answer in another thread. Somehow my keyboard increment was changed to a measurement so small (.00002") that I couldn't see the object move, nor did the X & Y coordinates change. I did not change this preference to .00002", but it is now fixed.

Moving Sprite with arrow keys, simultaneous directions

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to create a small arcade style game, you control a
small ship, shoot at incoming targets, try to dogde their shots,
etc. I'm working on the ship's movement right now, using the arrow
keys to control it. Getting it to move one direction at a time is
easy, but sometimes I need to move it diagonally, otherwise I think
gameplay will suffer considerably.
I have tried several things but I never seem to be able to
tell Flash that two keys are being pressed simultaneously. Can
anyone tell me how I might achieve this?
Thank you.

This format should allow detection of multiple keys at once:
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyPressed);
function keyPressed(ev:KeyboardEvent):void {
var pressedKey:uint = ev.keyCode;
if(pressedKey == Keyboard.LEFT) {
leftDown = true;
if(pressedKey == Keyboard.RIGHT) {
rightDown = true;
if(pressedKey == Keyboard.UP) {
upDown = true;
if(pressedKey == Keyboard.DOWN) {
downDown = true;
ship.addEventListener(Event.EnterFrame, moveShip);
}

Keynote Crashes When I Move Objects With Arrow Keys

Subject explains it all.
This happens on both my 2.4GHZ Intel iMac and G4 powerbook.
Machines are running OS 10.5.2 and Keynote 2.0.2
I've bought both Leopard and Keynote and installed all the software from the CDs.

The advice I would take from the last post would be used only to isolate the issue as it might relate to a system wide issue or a user specific issue. In other words, can we determine Keynote's behavior as being related to your home account and those files in your folder or the System (OS) level files? Read on please…
If, after creating a new user account and logging into and Keynote continues to behave the same way, then potentially there is file outside your homefolder responsible for this. The file in question would, I'm sure you would agree, be a file related to Keynote's functionality and is accessed while Keynote is in use.
When Keynote is attempting to follow your instructions it may be accessing a file that it relies on.
A program which you can download to troubleshoot the issue is called appzapper, you can visit the developer's site here: http://appzapper.com/
My suggestion would be to download this little app. Install it>drag and drop Keynote onto AppZapper. AppZapper will do its' best to find files relevant to the Keynote application and give you an opportunity to trash them.
If you are curious as to the files AppZapper associates with Keynote, copy the name of those files and do a Google search to find out more about those files.
In most cases the list of files, AppZapper associates are harmless if trashed, just make sure Keynote is not open while doing this or Keynote may sort of ask itself what is going on and behave oddly, a quit and relaunch should fix that if you forget to quit Keynote.
Good target files that AppZapper might find are what are known as .plist files, plist as in PropertyList. .plist files typically store application preferences. So if you have ever gone to the preferences for Keynote in this case and modified the settings that .plist file would have stored those changes you set. If you move the .plist files to the trash, Keynote, upon a relaunch will say to itself, oh look, my .plist files are missing and simply regenerate those .plist files.
The point here is if the .plist files were corrupt and Keynote was accessing those file(s) it would try to read the file and say to itself, hey I don't know how to read this and in this case, shut itself down.
AppZapper may find more than just .plist files, investigate any files you feel hesitant to trash using your our old friend Google to learn about what it is you are going to trash.
In most cases what AppZapper finds is safe enough to trash, just be sure to close Keynote before running this to keep Keynote from running into any unexpected surprises. It would be like yanking candy from a child's hand - that wouldn't be too nice.
Finally if the issue persists, using DVD1 that came bundled with your mac, you should be able to install the bundled software only.
Reinstalling Keynote or iLife should also be considered as a solution.
An entire OS purchase or OS re-installation is definitely overkill and not an elegant solution, not to mention the downtime.
The solution I am proposing hopefully makes common sense to you and gives you an overview in terms of understanding that there are files other than the application file related to any application's overall function.
AppZapper is a small download and may help you locate that stubborn file causing you grief.
That being said, creating a new user account on your mac and logging into it to isolate issues as being system wide or user specific is indeed the way to go to isolate issues in those terms.
Keep us posted.

Moving anchor point with arrow keys crashes Photoshop CC

Hey guys,
I've recently run into this bug many times while working with shapes. Don't really know what initiates it but it's super annoying as it crashes the PS CC completely without possiblity of recovering the unsaved files.
The bug appears while working with shapes after file is saved and reopened. Because I use to design pixel-perfect UIs, I work with arrow keys a lot to be sure every pixel is in the right place. So after selecting one or more anchor points of shape and hitting any arrow key (to move it by pixel), photoshop immediately crashes with this super-long description of bug: http://justpaste.it/ccshapecrash
Dunno why but this occurs very often when handling 1px-thin rectangles.
Is it only me or has anybody else experienced this as well? Any idea what exactly is causing it or what might be wrong with my config?
Never seen that kind of error in Photoshop before. It completely destroys my everyday workflow

I have exactly the same problem and I don't have any solution. I was tried to update the latest video drivers - nothing! Tried to update Photoshop which updates fixes bugs - nothing! The problem continues.
My OS is Windows 8 64bit, video card Nvidia GT 630. For the case, my Photoshop 32x works better (faster) than the 64x. Why is that ? I hope to have a solution.

I am having a problem moving across cells in Microsoft Excel. When I use the arrow keys, the sheet moves, instead of moving to the next cell. Would anyone have any thoughts on this, please?

Hi,
Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys?

How to change the presets in pop-up menus (CS6 or CR 7, example Photo Filter) with arrow keys an see at the same time the changes on the photo?
It worked under Windows, now I use OS 10.8 and have to apply a preset with a click or Return button but after that the pop-up menu close so I have to open it once again to change a preset. Please help. Thank you!

The filter panel is a shortcut for the content panel and it only effects the content of that window. So if you have a folder it will only see this as a folder and not with its content. (a Stack behaves about the same, being different in only counting the first file in the filter panel criteria but not what is in the stack itself)
You have a view work arounds, first is use menu view / show items from subfolders (this can take some time especially if you have not used caching before on this content) and this builds visible thumbs for all content and that can be used for filtering.
Or use the find command (Edit / find) and inhere specify the source and fill in the criteria include subfolders and this will give you the correct result.
When you create a smart collection the find command also pops up given you the same opportunity to get the results in a collection, but since a collection is only a bunch of aliases referring to the originals you might be a bit careful with editing and deleting.

After zooming in on an object using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time

After zooming in on an object, using arrow keys to nudge, it crashes most of the time.
Versions:
Illustrator CS6, latest update
Mac OS X 10.9.4
FontAgent Pro 6.2
Troubleshooting I've tried
-trashed all related Illus. preferences
-updated the only plug-in being used (FontAgent Pro), to the latest
-disabled all but absolutely necessary fonts
-repaired both system and user permissions
-quit all other apps, so that only Illus. running.
-fonts verified
Was never a problem until a couple weeks ago, so the obvious question is "what changed?". The two things we changed in the time period that the crashing started, is we replaced a balky external drive with a new one, and started our TimeMachine backups over again. And #2, we updated to the latest CS6 versions (due to other quirky issues).
One odd thing to point out...perhaps is "normal", but in the crash reports, it's reporting that Illustrator is 16.0.0, but "About Illustrator" shows that it's 16.2.2.
Everything else running fine on this iMac -- no reason to suspect it's the operating system.
Has anyone run into this bug? If so, what have you done to fix this?
I've not seen anything like this mentioned in Adobe's update change logs or their troubleshooting info.

I ended up upgrading to Acrobat XI. This works, but Adobe is up to its old tricks changing the interface from what we're used to using. They now have decided to hide all the tools. You have to delve deep into the program to find the tools, then set up your own tool menus. Lord help you finding a tool that you use too occasionally to put on a custom menu.
Adobe has been doing this for years now. In Photoshop of olden days, it was simple to set up a brush, say, that you used frequently. Quite a few updates ago they made that vastly more difficult. And they've replaced words with happy little icons, that are not at all intuitive to use. I challenge you, too, to look at the icon for the airbrush and tell me whether it is on or off. (Sorry, this is mainly about Photoshop, but what they've done to the latest Acrobat is just as bad.)
Of course, their ultimate cuteness in making things difficult for the user is their essential abandonment of a Help system. You can't do a simple look-up of a function -- you have to go to an internet site and sort through a bunch of forums and user comments to get any information.
JEEZ Adobe!

Move picture box with arrow keys

Hi,
I have already gotten my picturebox to move either up, down, right or left when I press my arrow keys.
My problem is that I cannot make it to move for example up and right at the same time (diagonal), can somebody help me to do that?
I also want it to move more smoothly, and I don't want to need to hold my arrow keys down for two seconds before they start to move rapidly like I have to do now.
Would appreciate any help! Thank you!
(Sorry for my bad English, I'm Norwegian)
Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Map_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Up Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X, PictureBox1.Location.Y - 5)
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Down Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X, PictureBox1.Location.Y + 5)
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Left Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X - 5, PictureBox1.Location.Y)
ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Right Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Location.X + 5, PictureBox1.Location.Y)
End if
And I have these:
Private Sub btnPlay_PreviewKeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) Handles btnPlay.PreviewKeyDown
Select Case e.KeyCode
Case Keys.Left, Keys.Up, Keys.Right, Keys.Down
e.IsInputKey = True
End Select
End Sub

Here's some other code I normally use now for key events on a Form since it is global. So if any controls are on the form which can get focus this works anyhow.
Protected Overrides Function ProcessCmdKey(ByRef msg As Message, ByVal keyData As Keys) As Boolean
If keyData.ToString = "Left" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left - 5, PictureBox1.Top)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Left, Control" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left - 5, PictureBox1.Top - 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Left, Alt" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left - 5, PictureBox1.Top + 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Right" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left + 5, PictureBox1.Top)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Right, Control" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left + 5, PictureBox1.Top - 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Right, Alt" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left + 5, PictureBox1.Top + 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Up" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left, PictureBox1.Top - 5)
ElseIf keyData.ToString = "Down" Then
PictureBox1.Location = New Point(PictureBox1.Left, PictureBox1.Top + 5)
End If
Return Nothing
End Function

Crash when moving objects...

I have a HUGE problem... in fact I have had lots of problems with Illustrator... but this is anoying.
At least 10 times a day the program just crashes when moving objects... some time text, some time pictures, sometime lines.
Every time i submit a CRASH report with the details... but really I think they are TRASH reports, I mean I have NEVER get an answer, update or ANYTHING from ADOBE.
Last week I almost lost my job because of the ineficiency of the program, the thing is that I used to work with Corel and I was the one who tooked the desicion to change to Illustrator, so I spend the money on an entire suite,GOD!!
My question is simple, it may sound bad, but honestly Can I get my money back? Does anyone have heard about someone getting just so frustrated with the suite like me?
I love PS, I work just fine with DW, but Illustrator and Adobe support is killing me and leaving me without job.
Daniel Vazquez my name...
619-671-0100 x 273 my phone, just in case that a miracle occurs and someone from Adobe can help me.!!!

Is there a way to adjust the Scroll bar? Because when I press the arrows key once it goes straight to the bottom of the page rather than going down gradually.

Before when I pressed the arrow key to navigate up and down the screen it would do it gradually. After I up graded to the current version it now skips down to the very bottom of the page.

You may have switched on [http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.browsewithcaret caret browsing].<br />
You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.<br />

when I try and open a tab that is the same as the page I'm currently on it closes it self. Not when I type the full address, but when I use the arrow keys to select the url and press enter. I just don't like typing in the same address 5 times, when the older Firefox worked.

Hi
AutoPunch enabled? Command click in the bottom half of the Bar Ruler to turn it off
