Control keys not working?
Okay so a friend sent me an e-mail about this program along with a few of her own projects. I noticed on the first one that I could not get the animation to play by pressing the space bar.
So, I figured maybe my computer was being a little laggy, downloaded the program and made my own little animation. But, after uploading it to the site I found that I couldn't get the different animations to play by pressing the keys I had assigned to them. (ex., it was a little animation of a cat, and he was supposed to meow when you pressed the "M" key.) I showed it to my friend and she said she got the keys to work, and that I should ask over here about it.
Is this a problem with the settings on my keyboard? Has anyone had this happen to them? Or is my computer just being dumb?
Any info. would be greatly appreciated. ^^;

Most likely there is a problem with the script.

Re: Control keys not working?
I just tried your project out and it worked fine for me....did you try clicking on the project first to make sure your computer was focused on the right area? If you were just typing in comments or something, the computer focus may be confused.

Re: Control keys not working?
There could still be a problem with the script I suppose... but would that explain why others can get it to work? I've gone back and tried selecting different keys, switching stuff around and reswitching it... I think the only thing I haven't done is delete the current scripts and redo them entirely. I guess I should probably go try that. >.<
And yep, I've tried clicking on the animation first.
Seems like anything involved with clicking the flag or the spite works fine, and my keyboard just doesn't like this program or something. 
I forgot to mention(although I don't know if it'll make a difference) I'm on a Sony Vaio laptop, with Windows Vista. That wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it?
