Bugger - that's annoying.
Oh well, I put together a workaround for anyone else that wants this:
private function
onCreationComplete(event:FlexEvent):void
{
Application.application.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,
onKeyDown);
}
private function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if(event.ctrlKey && event.keyCode == 84)
{
navigateToURL(new
URLRequest("about:blank"), '_blank');
}
}
