haven't been able to find any instructions on the buttonmode plug-in, and although it looks easy, i haven't had any luck yet.
I'm trying to simulate a 'held key': press the down arrow on the remote once, and it simulates pressing the down arrow on the keyboard (no problem); hold the key on the remote and it simulates holding the key down on the keyboard.
it's for a custom app i've built with macromedia director, which currently is responding to both 'key down' and 'key up' messages. It would appear i can't really send a 'key up message, but that hopefully isn't a big problem BECAUSE I CAN PROGRAM THE APP TO RESPOND TO ANY TYPE OF KEYBOARD or MOUSE message.
still i can't seem to figure out the buttonMode plug-in, so could someone please give me a bit of a walkthrough how i'd accomplish this? I'm new to Girder, but I've got all my other commmands working fine (they're all simulated keyboard presses).
thanks in advance!
