I want my character to teleport to the mouse’s location after pressing Space then clicking the mouse. I have successfully done this without the use of clicking.

onEnterFrame = function ():Void {
	if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)){
_root.char._x=_root._xmouse
_root.char._y=_root._ymouse
	}
}

How do I make it so that I have to click after I press space? And if I press space twice it cancels the teleport completely?

Have a timer checking how long since the last press of SPACE. If within 45 frames or something that the user clicks, then teleport the character.

Or, if you want to allow the player to think long and hard about where they want to teleport, set a Boolean flag to true when the space key is released. When the mouse left button is clicked, check the flag. If it’s true, set it to false and teleport the character, otherwise do what you normally do when the player clicks the mouse.
