Dump out the Keyboard events. Are they different? ALT is definitely a problem in Flash plugins. The Browser's often steal ALT. Try using Buzzword and see if it has the same problem. They have a complex keyboard mechanism that uses JS to capture keystrokes and forward to Flash.

Because I'm still stuck on it and I'm going crazy! Sébastien Arbogast 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
