Hi all: I'm using FB3 beta3, and am seeing odd behaviour when trying to
detect Command-keystrokes on Mac OS X.
I define an event handler:
this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyHandler);
And an event handling method:
private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
if (event.controlKey) {
trace("key");
}
}
Now, the above works perfectly, and also works perfectly if I use
"event.shiftKey". However, if I replace "controlKey" with "commandKey" it
does not - often my keyHandler method does not get called when I type a
command-key, and even when it does get called the "event.commandKey"
property is always false.
Now, if I add a "KEY_DOWN" listener, then that listener gets called
correctly as soon as the Command key is depressed - but that's not what I'm
looking for... :)
Is there a reason why the command key is being handled differently than the
control and shift keys? Is this a bug, or am I misunderstanding something?
BTW: This is happening in an AIR application, latest beta.
