  I was wondering if there's a way to allow two keys to be pressed to enable one action... "if (Key.isDown(87)" allows that if "W" is pressed it performs the following IF statement. I would have thought "if ((Key.isDown(87) and (Key.isDown(83))" would allow the following IF statement to perform it's action if W and S were pressed. However, this doesn't appear to be the case. Why not?? Please help me with what I need to do to allow a two key press action.
  

  
  Thanks in advance...

  eeeek s'a while since i've used ActionScript....... (it was me that recommended the section for it in this forum.... thank you fans, bows)...
  

  
  try putting one IF statement inside another, eg.

  Code:

  if (Key.isDown(87))
    if (Key.isDown(83))
       {do something}

  hope that works.
