[flexcoders] KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN

[markflex2007]

The following code work fine

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- events/TrapAllKeys.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
creationComplete="initApp();">
    <mx:Script><![CDATA[
        private function initApp():void {
            addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyHandler);
        }

        private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
            t1.text = event.keyCode + "/" + event.charCode;
        }
    ]]></mx:Script>

    <mx:TextInput id="myTextInput"/>
    
    <mx:Text id="t1"/>

</mx:Application>

but keyHandler works when I select TextInput and type something.

I will remove the TextInput and  I need keyHandler works, do you think if it is 
possible?

the code will like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- events/TrapAllKeys.mxml -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; 
creationComplete="initApp();">
    <mx:Script><![CDATA[
        private function initApp():void {
            addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyHandler);
        }

        private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
            t1.text = event.keyCode + "/" + event.charCode;
        }
    ]]></mx:Script>     
    
    <mx:Text id="t1"/>

</mx:Application>

Thanks
