HOWTO: InputManager: Binding and unbinding keys

Introduction

The InputManager deals with binding different keys to functions. There's also convenience functions in the DSAir class.

Details

Check out the TestInput.as file for the full details.

As with all examples, you need to init the framework before doing anything:

#!actionscript

DSAir.init( this ); // "this" is your Document class

##Binding a key##

Simply call:

#!actionscript

InputManager.instance.bind( Keyboard.SPACE, this._onSpace );

or

#!actionscript

DSAir.bindKey( Keyboard.SPACE, this._onSpace );

to bind a key to a function. Use the Flash Keyboard class for the key constants. The callback function should take one parameter of type KeyboardEvent.

##Unbinding a key##

#!actionscript

InputManager.instance.unbind( Keyboard.SPACE );

or

#!actionscript

DSAir.unbindKey( Keyboard.SPACE );

will do the job
