one thing to check is whether your app has focus in the browser window - some browsers do not give the player focus by default. If you click somewhere on your app running in the browser then press a key do you get a message?
Another route would be to add a control to your app which definitely accepts focus (like a button) and move the event handling code in there - just to test how to get your app responding to keyboard events. This code does work for me, but my app's front page is somewhat more complex than the app you describe below. --- In [email protected], "Alejandro Narancio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi I already try that but is not working for me, using your example I also > tested this (first calling init() from the initialize and after from the > applicationComplete): > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" > initialize="init()"> > <mx:Script> > <![CDATA[ > import mx.controls.Alert; > import mx.managers.PopUpManager; > > private function init(): void { > addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, watchKey); > } > > private function watchKey(e: KeyboardEvent): void { > Alert.show("TEST", "TEST"); > } > > ]]> > </mx:Script> > <mx:Panel width="100%" height="100%" /> > </mx:Application> > > > This is not working for me when I press a key I am not receiving any popup > window. > > Thanks, > Alejandro > > > On Dec 16, 2007 5:41 PM, simonjpalmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > add an event handler to your app to trap a key down event and then > > check for the combinations you support as shortcuts and perform the > > your functions accordingly. > > > > here's a fragment from my own code which traps ctrl+shift+D and shows > > some debug messages... > > > > in my app's initialisation routine... > > > > addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, watchKey); > > > > private function watchKey(e:KeyboardEvent):void > > { > > if (e.ctrlKey && e.shiftKey) > > { > > if(e.keyCode == 68) > > { > > toggleDebug(); > > } > > } > > } > > > > this is all in the docs... > > Simon > > --- In [email protected] <flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, > > "Alejandro Narancio" > > > > <ale.narancio@> wrote: > > > > > > Hi all! > > > > > > I am trying to add a shortcut to my application (for example when > > the user > > > press Ctrl+P open a print dialog), it is possible to catch this?
