RE: [flexcoders] How can I DISABLE THE STUPID SPACE BAR GLOBALLY?

[Gordon Smith]

You can't turn off the KeyboardEvents that the Flash Player dispatches. But you can stop components from listening to them.   In the Button source code, I see       override protected function keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void     {         if (!enabled)             return;           if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)             buttonPressed();     }       override protected function keyUpHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void     {         if (!enabled)             return;           if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE)         {             buttonReleased();               if (phase == ButtonPhase.DOWN)                 dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK));             phase = ButtonPhase.UP;         }     }   So you could write a BetterButton subclass and override these two handlers to not respond to the SPACE key. Then you'd use <BetterButton> everywhere instead of <Button>   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jpc14_99 Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 3:19 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] How can I DISABLE THE STUPID SPACE BAR GLOBALLY?   Trouble! So I found out today that the spacebar fires a click event on the last focused button. This includes hidden buttons, buttons in other states, and even mouseEnabled = false buttons!! (The last one has to be a bug, why would anyone want to allow keyboard 'clicks' on a button when they aren't allowing mouse clicks on it.) So basically I'm running around re-writing my event handlers for every single button to ignore these spacebar triggers. Is there someway I can just turn off this stupid spacebar from firing the events? Thanks!
