Animation stop actionscript 3.0 tick - actionscript-3

Question

So, I have this game and I want the player to move, so I use a tick method when the key is down it creates 2 event listeners, a keyup listener and a tick.The keyup listener removes its self and removes the tick.The tick contains the movement and where I presumed the animation.
Here is my code:
// For every frame //
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.TouchEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
var gravity = 0.6;
var floor = 410;
jordan1.y = floor;
jordan1.speedY = floor;
jordan1.impulsion = 10;
var onFloor:Boolean = false;
var keyRight:Boolean = false;
stage.addChild(jordan1);
stage.addChild(leftwall1);
stage.addChild(finish1);
stage.addChildAt(abovedoor, 0);
stage.addChild(left);
stage.addChild(right);
stage.addChild(jump);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enters);
function enters(e:Event) {
jordan1.speedY += gravity;
jordan1.y += jordan1.speedY
if(jordan1.y > floor) {
jordan1.speedY = 0;
jordan1.y = floor;
onFloor = true;
if(keyRight == true) {
jordan1.gotoAndPlay(7);
}
if(keyRight == false) {
jordan1.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
}
function stageup(e:MouseEvent) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,tickleft);
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,tickright);
removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stageup);
}
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, stagedown);
function stagedown(e:MouseEvent) {
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stageup);
}
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, jumpkey);
function jumpkey(e:KeyboardEvent) {
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE) {
if(onFloor == true)
{
jordan1.speedY=-jordan1.impulsion;
onFloor = false;
jordan1.gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
}
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, leftkey);
function leftkey(e:KeyboardEvent) {
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT) {
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, leftkeytick);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, leftkeydown);
}
}
function leftkeydown(e:KeyboardEvent) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, leftkeytick);
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, leftkeydown);
}
function leftkeytick(e:Event) {
jordan1.x-=10;
if(onFloor == true) {
jordan1.gotoAndStop(3);
}
if(onFloor == false) {
jordan1.gotoAndStop(6);
}
}
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rightkey);
function rightkey(e:KeyboardEvent) {
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT) {
keyRight == true;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rightkeytick);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, rightkeydown);
}
}
function rightkeydown(e:KeyboardEvent) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rightkeytick);
keyRight == false;
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, rightkeydown);
}
function rightkeytick(e:Event) {
jordan1.x+=10;
if(onFloor == true) {
jordan1.gotoAndPlay(7);
}
if(onFloor == false) {
jordan1.gotoAndStop(5);
}
}
// Just for this frame //
leftwall1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, leftwall1hit);
function leftwall1hit(e:Event) {
if(leftwall1.hitTestObject(jordan1)) {
jordan1.x +=10;
}
}
abovedoor.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, abovedoorhit);
function abovedoorhit(e:Event) {
if(abovedoor.hitTestObject(jordan1)) {
jordan1.x-=10;
}
}
jordan1.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, finish1hit);
function finish1hit(e:Event) {
if(jordan1.x > 960) {
gotoAndStop(67);
}
}
So, when I test it and put the keydown it goestoandstops at 7, instead of playing.Please help! Thank you!

Answer 1

Your goto shouldn't be in your tick, or they will be executed each frame. Which explain why it's staying on frame 7.
Instead put them in your KEY_DOWNlistener :
animated = false;
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, rightkey);
function rightkey(e:KeyboardEvent) {
if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT) {
if(onFloor == true && !animated) {
jordan1.gotoAndPlay(7);
}
if(onFloor == false && !animated) {
jordan1.gotoAndStop(5);
}
animated = true;
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rightkeytick);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, rightkeydown);
}
}
function rightkeydown(e:KeyboardEvent) {
animated = false;
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, rightkeytick);
stage.removeEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, rightkeydown);
}
function rightkeytick(e:Event) {
jordan1.x+=10;
}
But you shouldn't use a tick function with a keydown event.
KEY_DOWNis called each frame while you're pressing the/a key.
If you can't change your logic (which is not good for what you want to achieve) you could flag your handlers.
By having a boolean for each key you're listening to.
And then in your tick, do what you need to do depending on what keys are down.
keyRight = false;
keyLeft = false;
//... same for all your keys.
// or you could store them in one object for a more dynamic solution.
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUp);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,tick);
function keyDown(e:KeyboardEvent){
if(e.keyCode === Keyboard.RIGHT && !keyRight){
keyRight = true;
}
else if(e.keyCode === Keyboard.LEFT && !keyLeft){
keyLeft = true;
}
//... same for all your keys.
}
function keyUp(e:KeyboardEvent){
if(e.keyCode === Keyboard.RIGHT){
keyRight = false;
}
else if(e.keyCode === Keyboard.LEFT){
keyLeft = false;
}
//... same for all your keys.
}
function tick(e:Event){
if(keyRight) jordan1.x += 10;
if(keyLeft) jordan1.x -= 10;
//... etc for all your keys.
}
This other question cover the subject of multiple KEY_DOWN pretty well.
