RE: [flexcoders] Capturing ESCAPE key in IE

[Jason Szeto]

The Flash ActiveX Player doesn’t receive ESCAPE key presses. Probably because IE doesn’t pass this along to the Player. When you receive a keyDown event, you can find out of the ESCAPE key has been pressed. But this only works if the user presses ESC and another key at the same time.   There is no workaround. You’ll just have to not use the ESC key in your application.   Jason   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dmitry Miller Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 5:11 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Capturing ESCAPE key in IE   Hello all I am trying to capture ESCAPE key press by TextInput control in Flex 1.5. <mx:TextInput keyDown="handleKeyDown(event)" ... and later inside mx:Script tag I have the following implementation private function handleKeyDown(event:Object):Void { if(event.code == Key.ESCAPE) { //do smth } if(event.code == Key.ENTER) { //do smth else } } The above code works great in Firefox but doesn't work in IE. Also, to make the matter worse, the code for capturing Key.ENTER works in both browsers. Any suggestions?
