However, after analyzing the code, I believe I can help you understand those functions. The is_? functions you are referring to are set as public so they can be accessed outside of the keys class. An instance of the keys class has been used in the as3circle class. as3circle has an enter frame function running and checks the value of each one of those functions every time the frame is entered. For example, line 16 of as3circle: "if (keyboard_input.is_left()" is checking if that is true or false. The .is_left portion calls the public function is_left located on line 13 of the keys class. When it calls that function, the function runs through and the "return" does just that. Line 14 says "return press_left;" and it checks the value of the variable "press_left" and gives that value to whatever called the function. In this case, that would be line 16 of as3circle. If it's true, then the force is applied. If it is false, it skips that function and moves on to the next one. I hope this helped!

The is_? functions you are referring to are set as public so they can be accessed outside of the keys class. An instance of the keys class has been used in the as3circle class.

as3circle has an enter frame function running and checks the value of each one of those functions every time the frame is entered.

For example, line 16 of as3circle:

“if (keyboard_input.is_left()”

is checking if that is true or false. The .is_left portion calls the public function is_left located on line 13 of the keys class. When it calls that function, the function runs through and the “return” does just that.

Line 14 says “return press_left;” and it checks the value of the variable “press_left” and gives that value to whatever called the function. In this case, that would be line 16 of as3circle. If it’s true, then the force is applied. If it is false, it skips that function and moves on to the next one.

I hope this helped!

I´m having some trouble with this in Flash cs5. I did exactly like the tutorial apart for some different filenames but i´m still getting an error. It says that "init is not a function" in my main.as file...any ideas? Hey Guys!
