Sliding Dock Fiasco

[Super_Saxy]

I'm literally pulling my hair out over this dock thing. Its literally driving me crazy.

Ok so I have an dock on the top that is sliding in and out via accessKeys. The first issue was that when I pressed the space bar to fly the dock out, the animation would repeat when I hit the spacebar again. I've been trying to figure out how to disable the spacebar activation once the dock is out, but then enabling it again once it has been hidden.

I solved half the issue recently. used the <set> command to set the "display" to "none" after the ESCAPE key is used to fly the dock away. However, the issue still exists with the space bar. Here is my code:

		<animateTransform xlink:href="#Top_Dock" id="_anim_l6" attributeName="transform" type="translate"
						to="0,0" dur="0.5s"  
						fill="freeze"
						begin="accessKey( )"	/>	
						
		<animateTransform xlink:href="#Top_Dock" id="_anim_d6" attributeName="transform" type="translate"
						to="0,-99" dur="0.5s"  
						fill="freeze"
						begin="accessKey(ESCAPE)	/>

		<set xlink:href="#Top_Dock" attributeName="display" to="inline" begin="_anim_l6.begin" />

		<set xlink:href="#Top_Dock" attributeName="display" to="none" begin="_anim_d6.end" />

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i dont think there is a way around that.
unless you just show / hide the dock instead of sliding.. but thats not as "fun"

Ugh thats a let down.

And you're soooo right. Not as fun...

Check out your other thread, I've got an answer for you. It involves a bit of work though, but I know it's possible because I've got working prototypes of it.

Just saw that actually. Thanks for the idea! Lets see if I can actually plan this out and get it to work

Here is what I came up with, if anyone is interested. Here is the link to the post in my other thread.
