I assume you are requesting the MXML with ?accessible=true or you’ve enabled accessibility in flex-config? I haven’t played with accessibility at all, not really sure what else would be wrong.

Thanks, code compiles successfully but execution is wrong. Did any one try this code from actionscript language reference - key board access to flex controls?

When I run mxml, I got alert from myOnKeyDown( ) eventhough no key is pressed (except F12). When I press Ctrl+7 nothing happened. It suppose to give alert from myOnPress( ).

//*** .as file ***//

// ActionScript Document

function initApp()

{

var tempButton = my_btn;

tempButton._accProps ="Ctrl+7";

Accessibility.updateProperties();

var myListener:Object = new Object();

Key.addListener(myListener);

myListener.>

tempButton.>

}

function myOnKeyDown()

{

// 55 is key code for 7

mx.controls.Alert.show(String(Key.getCode()),"myOnKeyDown");

if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.getCode() == 55)

{

Selection.setFocus(my_btn);

my_btn.onPress();

//myOnPress()

}

function myOnPress()

{

mx.controls.Alert.show("hello","myOnPress");

}

Thanks!
Hari

Hmm, I think that must be a bug that we have the compiler error. The way you would work around it is to declare a local variable untyped and assign it to your button, then put the _accProps on there.

var tempButton = my_btn;

tempButton._accProps = ...

You should maybe file a but at http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish and maybe make a comment on the livedocs in the accessibility section about this.

Subject: [flexcoders] need help about _accProps

Hi all, I am trying to allow my users to access screen UI component thru
KeyBoard. In order to do that I am using _accProps property of UI components
(according to macromedia livedocs).

Actually I got the following code from macromedia live docs
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/
<http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/>
But when I try to run(F12) my .mxml file I am getting compilation error
saying "there is no property with the name '_accProps'". Can any one tried
Key board shortcuts?
Here is the code in my .as file.
// ActionScript Document

function initApp()
{
      var myListener:Object = new Object();
      Key.addListener(myListener);
      myListener.>
      my_btn.>
      if(my_btn._accProps == undefined)
      {
            my_btn._accProps = new Object();
      }
      my_btn._accProps.shortcut = "Ctrl+7";
      Accessibility.updateProperties();
}

function myOnKeyDown()
{
      // 55 is key code for 7
      if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.getCode() == 55)
      {
            Selection.setFocus(my_btn);
            my_btn.onPress();
      }
}
function myOnPress()
{
      mx.controls.Alert.show("hello","myOnPress");
}

Thanks in advance.
Thanks!
Hari
