Its still a problem Matt.
My code is exactly the same as the example, but i'll paste here
anyway.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
initialize="initApp()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function initApp():void
{
application.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,
keyHandler);
}
//This function quits the application if the user presses
SHIFT+Q.
private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
trace("worked");
var bControlPressed:Boolean = event.shiftKey;
if (bControlPressed)
{
var curKeyCode:int = event.keyCode;
if (curKeyCode == 81)
{
// 81 is the keycode value for the Q key
// Quit the application by closing the browser
using JavaScript.
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest
("javascript:window.close()");
navigateToURL(url,"_self");
}
}
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
i run this example from flexbuilder2beta2. i do focus on the html
page (that flexbuilder creates) using my mouse.
