Hi,
You should be able to do this with something like below. You can add
your code on the timeline, or inside a class, it's up to you. You will
need to make sure that the thing the code is inside has been added to
the stage - you listen for keyboard events on the stage, not the
movieclip, so you may have to implement some code to check what is in
"focus", or otherwise...

//Import your keyboard libraries.
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
//when your movieclip or it's parent are added to stage, then use this
to add a keyboard listener to the overall stage (not the individual
movieclip!)
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, onKeyUp);
//Handle the "down" event (you can ignore this if you just want the
press&release of a key)
function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.DELETE)
{
trace("Delete key is down");
}
}
//handle the key up event...
function onKeyUp(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.DELETE)
{
trace("Delete key is up");
}
}

Hello,
I would like to add listener to movieclip, listenining for DELETE. What is the
best way to do that? In Actionscript 3 it gets complicated.
Thank you in advance,
Ktt
