I have a French Canadian keyboard mapping on my Windows machine and I can type all of the accentuated characters in any TextArea or TextInput. The only thing that I have witnessed is that I need to toggle on my French Canadian keyboard every time after the browser opens. It seems that Flash doesn't initially read the keyboard mapping correctly. As soon as I toggle the keyboard mapping on, once inside the browser, the keyboard works perfectly. Maybe that's your problem too. Looks more like a keyboard configuration issue to me than a Flex issue. ________________________________

Sébastien Arbogast http://sebastien-arbogast.com <http://sebastien-arbogast.com> 2008/12/18 Sebastien ARBOGAST <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > I'm currently developing a Flex 3 business application on a Mac laptop with a French Belgian keyboard. Everything worked great until some customers started to notice that they can't type some characters in my app under Windows. It seems like the main problem is with the top digit keys on the main keyboard: accentuated characters are correctly typed. For example '2' and 'é' are on the same key and normally I have to press Shift+'2' to actually get a '2'. Yet, on Windows (XP or Vista), all I get is a 'é', whether I press Shift or not. Furthermore, Ctrl+Alt characters like '@' are simply impossible to type. Is anyone aware of any problem with internationalization and keyboard mapping? Is there a way to solve that? (I hope so because this one is likely to ruin my entire project!) Sébastien Arbogast http://sebastien-arbogast.com <http://sebastien-arbogast.com>
