A keyboard/gamepad binder for easier game input in ActionScript

Hey there.

My name is Zeh Fernando. I live in Brooklyn, NY, and work for Facebook Reality Labs as a Software Engineer.

I was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. I grew up loving both to draw and to code, and have been working since 1994 in a vast number of projects, languages, and platforms. Programming wise, I tend to believe I’m mostly language-agnostic but today my attention is divided between JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, Kotlin, Dart, and Rust, all while targeting the web, mobile, and desktop platforms.

You can find more information on my portfolio.

Xbox 360 Controller not found

i have this message in the console

Error! Gamepad definition not found for GameInputDevice [Xbox 360 Controller (XInput STANDARD GAMEPAD)]!
Data about this controller needs to be added to controller.json.

Please read: https://github.com/zeh/key-action-binder#Contributing

in the json file i see :
"os" : ["Windows 7"],

is it because i am running this lib on windows 8.1 ?

Errors

Hi, I have a small problem. I tried to test out the KeyActionBinder to see if my joystick is actually recognized. After I placed all the classes in the right spot (with the right path) I get these errors in the console:

Can you please help me, because I can not find what I'm doing wrong. Thanks !

Calling `stop()` allows bindings to remain activated

I ran into a bug in which I had to press a key twice for it to fire the bound action after stop()ing and re-start()ing a KeyActionBinder. I tracked it down to the fact that my stop() call happens before the key is released (the keypress exits a menu that uses the KeyActionBinder).

I could wait until the key is released to call stop(), but this isn't really ideal. Instead, I added code to stop() that deactivates all existing bindings. This might not be ideal for other circumstances, not really sure. @zeh what do you think? I can open a PR if this makes sense.
