Flash bug: keys not working when changing frames

[Pineapple]

The bug happens in flash when you hold down a key, and at the same time press and release any other key, while still holding the original key.

Basically, what happens in my game is that if the character runs in one direction, keeps running in that direction while jumping over an obstacle, then enters a new frame, he stops and won't move again until you let go of the direction and re-press it.
It's not a huge game killer, but it affects my game's 'momentum'.

Okay, I was able to reproduce the problem with the .swf.

Hi, I hope this is being worked on. I don't want to release my game until this issue is fixed.
please let me know when it's fixed, thanks.

As a work around, could you move the objects around so the the player isn't faced with holding down 2 buttons at the change frame point?

I don't think that'd be possible. What happens in my game is; The player runs around with the aarow keys (which are usually held down alot) and if you then jump, continue to run to the edge of the screen, you trigger the bug. And the big issue is that my game is made from lots of small sections composed of individual frames.

I would love to see a fix for this, as my current project is entirely dependent on keystates being carried between frames. My platform game engine is fast loop based, but even when trying something easy like:

Repeat while "Right Arrow" is pressed: set player X to player X+1

will result in chunky behaviour upon changing frames.

Back from holidays. I found how to correct this problem without a new property. So I'll implement it.

Awesome!
