graphical things haven't been the main focus of Flex, but system security is tantamount and the player doesn't want to allow you to sniff keystrokes from other applications so when you lose activation lots of things may stop working. I've marked this to try in a simple testcase, but it may be a while before we get around to it. -Alex

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?
