[charmedcharmer]

I posted my entire code here, im sorry, I just want to know why the hell is my keyPressed() event only works when I press the 'cancel' button? Ive been searching this for hours, unfortunately i have no luck, so i decided to ask you guys. Am I missing something? I cant make the keyPressed() work.. Please help. Thanks

Where's the imports? Are the declared in the class you are extending? GameCanvas

import java.awt.KeyAdapter;
or 
import java.awt.KeyListener;

[Dillinger4]

Also keyPressed(KeyEvent e) takes a KeyEvent as an arg you have protected void keyPressed(int keyCode) which i don't ubderstand. Also should't you be checking for the KeyEvent that was fired off within the keyPressed() method? All i see is.

protected void keyPressed(int keyCode) {
 int gameAction = getGameAction(keyCode);
 if (gameAction==RIGHT) {
  staticX++;
 }
  staticX++;
}

i am using the microedition and not the standard edition. I think what your saying is not j2me (correct me if im not right) coz i tried your imports and it didnt work (didnt compile). Im using the j2ME wireless toolkit to build and run my program. unfortunately, keypressed() method doesnt work. could someone point me what should i do about this? thanks.

Thanks a lot Dilinger4 for the help.

Hummmmmm. Im sure someone in the Java Mobility Forums could be of help. Did you try there at all? http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
