ive found a bug in your class:
1: press and hold a key.
2: While its hold down press another key, and release it
It will display that there is no key pressed, altough the 1st key is still hold down

Hi,

I have just started to learn ActionScript 3 and needed to do some simple Key.isDown for a game.
Found it odd that is not in ActionScript 3 but then found your KeyPoll class, tried it and it works great!

Thanks

Hi Rich ,
I have just played around with the KeyPoll Class and tried to create sort of “Geometry Wars” controlls for a space ship, but I came across a big problem : if you press a key and then release it quickly and press another key, there is a delay of about half a second before the second key press is recognized.
you can see this in your example and it is also happening in the original class by richard lord.
do you have any ideas why this is happening or how to get rid of this delay ?
thanks for your help.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for commenting on my blog. I’ve taken a look at what you’ve done and it’s pretty handy. Getting those multiple key presses easily is nice. I’ll keep your modified clas somewhere safe so that I can find it easily if I need it. Cheers and keep up the good work. Send my regards to Wallace and Gromit.
