Why do you say using systemManager does not work? It does for me.

Hi All! We want our projector to be full screen always. To do that we add the keyboard event listener to the stage and then if the user has pressed Esc button, turn full screen mode on: switch (event.keyCode) { case Keyboard.ESCAPE : try { stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; } catch (e : Error) {} break; But this event handler does not work when some pop up is focused. Subscription to systemManager does not fix the problem either. <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe. <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="onApplicationComplete()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert; private function onApplicationComplete() : void { stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN; stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, onKeyDown); Alert.show('Alert!'); } private function onKeyDown(event : KeyboardEvent) : void { trace("Key down!"); } ]]> </mx:Script> </mx:Application> Any ideas how to implement really global Esc keyboard button press handler? Sergey.
