Is there a way to catch the keys at all time??? I think I'm missing something here. I have an application with some layoutContainers and in one of the containers a user can draw a groundPlan. When rubberBand is enabled, I want a user to be able to press CTRL and click with mouse so that rubberband disappears. This Container where the drawing happens is called GroundPlan.as (extends Container). In here I create sprites, ... and in here I should be able to catch KeyEvents...
