TextField dispatches keyDown/keyUp as notification events. You can’t affect TextField via those events. There is a textInput event that should prevent changes to the TextField.
Spark text controls don’t have this problem.

I have tried: - Add an event listener to the textfield and canceling it, calling stopPropogation() and stopImmediatePropogation() - Doing the same on the actual textField of the TextInput (gotten by extending and exposing) - Attempting to listen to the key-down of the control key and making it not editable (but then I found that the control key doesn't trigger a keyboard even unless you're on a Mac!) Does anyone have an idea what I can do? I'm getting a bit desperate over here. Cheers, Julian -- Alex Harui Flex SDK Team Adobe System, Inc. http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui
