Getting a Behavior class to respond to specific key presses

Hello,
My Problem is this:
I have a keyboard behavior class which extends the behavior class, i want the behavior to wakeupOn a specific key press, ie KeyEvent.VK_UP, however, the class will only seem to respond to the the KEY_PRESSED, KEY_RELEASED and KEY_TYPED variables.
Any help on how to get the behavior to wake up on specific key presses would be gratefull.

The normal event model, as far as I can tell, is to wake up on keypressed and then check which key it was that has been pressed and respond accordingly.

How to get keyReleased() to always only respond to one key?

I want a picture to move right when hold the right arrow key down. However, I want the picture to stop moving right when I release it. So, first I check the keyCodes to make sure its the right arrow key.
However, if I hold down the right arrow key, and then I press and release any other key, and then I release the arrow key, then the keyReleased code for the right arrow key doesn't happen.
Is there a simple way to fix this?

Are you using Swing (you don't mention if it's Swing, AWT, SWT,...)? If so, you probably want to use Key Bindings. The best source of information for this is in the Sun Java Swing tutorials: [How to Use Key Bindings|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html] .
If you want to distinguish between key press and release, you'll need to look into the [KeyStroke API|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/KeyStroke.html] .
Good luck.

How to create an EventListener for a specific keyboard press?

Hello,
I have been trying to figure out how to switch my actionscript3 from a mouse click to a keyboard press. I'm new to Flash, but the problem I keep coming to is that I need to have 3 separate keys programmed in to do three seperate outcomes. I have messed around with eventListeners for keyboard presses, but I cannot figure out how to have flash listen for a specific key press and then do an action based on that specific key press.
Here is my actionscript. Any suggestions on how I can modify the mouse clicks to be keyboard presses, where key 's' = btn1 and triggers gotoAndPlay(2), 'g' = btn2 and triggers gotoAndPlay(3), 'k' = btn3 and triggers gotoAndPlay(4) as outline below. I also need my timer and writing to an exteral file to remain the same.
stop();
var startTime:Number=getTimer();
var elapsedTime:Number;
stream.writeUTFBytes("Item1,");
function BTN1Action(eventObject:MouseEvent) {
     elapsedTime = getTimer() - startTime;
          stream.writeUTFBytes("Tar1,");
          stream.writeUTFBytes(elapsedTime.toString());
          stream.writeUTFBytes("\n");
          gotoAndPlay(2);
function BTN2Action(eventObject:MouseEvent) {
          elapsedTime = getTimer() - startTime;
          stream.writeUTFBytes("Tar2,");
          stream.writeUTFBytes(elapsedTime.toString());
          stream.writeUTFBytes("\n");
          gotoAndPlay(3);
function BTN3Action(eventObject:MouseEvent) {
          elapsedTime = getTimer() - startTime;
          stream.writeUTFBytes("Tar3,");
          stream.writeUTFBytes(elapsedTime.toString());
          stream.writeUTFBytes("\n");
          gotoAndPlay(4);
BTN1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, BTN1Action);
BTN2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, BTN2Action);
BTN3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, BTN3Action);
Any assistance with this is greatly appriciated.

Assuming you want to monitor key press on the button BTN1, you can do following:
// Add a key up event listener on the button (or on the source where the key press needs to be captured)
BTN1.addEventListener(KeyPress.KEYUP, BTN1KeyUpAction);
// BTN1KeyUpAction sample, you can modify this
function BTN1KeyUpAction(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
    if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.S) {
    gotoAndPlay(2);

On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?, on my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point on a document?

Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.
As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures

Get information for classes from call stack in abap (like java reflection)

Hi,
is there any possibilty to get following information:
I want to program a logging tool. You can create a logging object and use some methods like
xxxxx->add_msg(msg) to put logging information to the logging object.
but i also want to find out, from which class/object/runtime environment this msg comes.
example:
class CL_ABC uses the logging tool and does following call:
lo_logger = CL_logger->get_logger().
lo_logger->add_msg( 'test the code' ).
now the method ->add_msg() in logger object is called. inside this method, i want to have the information, from which class/object the ->add_msg() method is called. after the call, the logging object must have this information like:
CALL_CLASS: CL_ABC
CALL_LINE: 83
MSG: test the code
any ideas?

You can use the SYSTEM_CALLSTACK function module.
Read this thread, Uwe has given details on both getting the calling class and method: Re: How to determine current method / interface method that is running?
Most probably this solves your needs.

OMacbook calendar gets the message "the server responded with an error" and is now not syncing. Any idea?

I haven't done anything to my Macbook (I don't think) but out of the blue when adding entries to my calendar, I now get the message "the server responded with an error". Consequently it will not sync with the Cloud. I have an iMac which DOES sync with both iPad and the iPhone.
Anyone any idea?
ALan

Sorry, no help there. Ical does not stay open long enough to do anything with. All it does is crash and apologise and say it will notify Apple.
Guess I will just delete it altogether and use google calendar.

How to get the current class name in static method?

Hi,
I'd like to get the current class name in a static method. This class is intended to be extended. So I would expect that the subclass need not to override this method and at the runtime, the method can get the subclass name.
getClass() doesn't work, because it is not a static method.
I would suggest Java to make getClass() static. It makes sense.
But in the mean time, does anybody give an idea to work around it?
Thank you,
Bill

Why not create an instance in a static method and use getClass() of the instance?
public class Test {
public static Class getClassName() {
return new Test().getClass();

Getting list of classes?

Hello all, I was just wondering if there is any way to get a list of all the known classes in a certain package? I know I can get a list of the packages themselves, but not sure about how to go about getting the actual classes.
Thanks for the help!

If you only want to get a classes list from a jar package,read the api specof java.uitil.jar.
java.uitil.jar privides classes for reading and writing the jar file.
So I think it can satisify your requirement.
