Bind takes a single function and passes to it a value to represent keydown and keyup (1 and 0)

bindCmd allows you to specify a different function for keydown and keyup as well as the values you pass to those functions.

Thanks, LabRat. I think I'm understanding this whole thing better.

So as I understand it %val, in the function parameter refers to this value that is passed by bind to the specified function. Am I correct?

Harold, could tell me what the last parameters in this is:
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "ctrl s", "commandToServer('playCel',\"wave\");", "");


Could you also explain the syntax of this thing aswell..

'playCel',\"wave\"

Thank you.
