Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2 Beta - KeyboardEvent - Problem

Okay, spoke too soon.

Apparently it isn't working the way I did it.

It actually seems to be breaking worse now, with no event firing! I placed that line in my init(), which fires onCompletion:

<?xml version=" 1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
    xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml "
    xmlns="*"
    layout="absolute"
    creationComplete="init()">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import com.imagetrend.containers

.debug.*;
            import mx.core.Application ;
            import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
            import mx.controls.Alert;

            private function init() {
                stage.focus = this;
                this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, trapKeys);
            }
            private function trapKeys(e:KeyboardEvent) {
               textArea.text = String(e.charCode) + "/" + String(e.keyCode);
                Debugger.show();
                Alert.show("trapKeys()");
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Canvas id="mainCanvas" width="100%" height="100%">
        <mx:TextArea id="textArea" width="236" height="196">

        </mx:TextArea>
    </mx:Canvas>

</mx:Application>

Jester, how come you're always the one that figures out my problems? Isn't the Macromedia/Adobe staff on this list?

;) Take care,

Scott

It's easy to fix; do:

stage.focus = this;

In your creationComplete event.

So, can we safely call it a bug: Flex doesn't pick up keyboard events - unless there's component focus?

Thanks,

Scott

it seems to be something with having focus. when you first start the app, there's no focus on any control inside the app. I added a Button and click the Button. after that it works fine... so it doesn't appear to require that you click on the TextArea, just that you provide focus to something in the app... maybe someone else can chime in with a reason why or a workaround.

I can't get the following keyboardevent to fire, unless you click into the textarea on the stage. Any ideas why that would be?
Note: I've tried adding the listener to: application, Application.application, the canvas on the stage, etc...

            import mx.controls.Alert;

            private function init() {
                this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, trapKeys);
            }
            private function trapKeys(e:KeyboardEvent) {
               textArea.text = String(e.charCode) + "/" + String(e.keyCode);
                Debugger.show();
                Alert.show("trapKeys()");
            }
