Remote Control

Add support for remote control input.

Currently it only supports the Apple Remote on an OS X machine, but in the future this may be expanded to support more devices.

Setup

First, install "remote-control" using haxelib

haxelib install remote-control

Then add the following to your NME project file

<haxelib name="remote-control" />

How-to-use

Here is an example of how you can use the library

import nme.display.Sprite;
import nme.events.RemoteControlEvent;
import nme.ui.RemoteControl;

class RemoteControlExample extends Sprite {
	
	public function new () {
		
		super ();

		RemoteControl.addEventListener (RemoteControlEvent.BUTTON_DOWN, RemoteControl_onButtonDown);
		
	}
	
	private function RemoteControl_onButtonDown (event:RemoteControlEvent):Void {
		
		switch (event.code) {
			
			case RemoteControl.NEXT: trace ("Pressed next button");
			case RemoteControl.PREVIOUS: trace ("Pressed previous button");
		
		}
	
	}
	
}

You can also listen for BUTTON_UP, and there are numerous other button codes available.
