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. any more ideas thanks. regards bod --- In [email protected], "Matt Horn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > A couple of things to note: > - The example comments say to use Ctrl+Q, but the implementation is > looking for Shift+Q, so make sure you're pressing shift+q. > - The app must have focus inside the browser for it to start capturing > keys.
