Not sure I understand. I'm clicking in it to make sure it has focus. In fact I tried adding activate and deactivate handlers for the container, and in the activate I add the keydown listener. Tracing shows that the activate event fired, but the keydown event never shows up again.
I'm surprised this doesn't work... how can you use flex to do graphical things with the keyboard if you can't listen to it?
