I'm wanting to globally capture the keyboard in my Flex app. I want to be notified of every keyboard event that happens as long as the Flash Player has the focus... regardless of whether the event happens when a UIComponent has keyboard focus or not. Here's what I'm doing: stage.addEventListe ner(KeyboardEven t.KEY_DOWN, handleKeyboard, false, int.MAX_VALUE) ; stage.addEventListe ner(KeyboardEven t.KEY_UP, handleKeyboard, false, int.MAX_VALUE) ; stage.addEventListe ner(KeyboardEven t.KEY_DOWN, handleKeyboard, true, int.MAX_VALUE) ; stage.addEventListe ner(KeyboardEven t.KEY_UP, handleKeyboard, true, int.MAX_VALUE) ; Since the stage is at the top of the display list, and since I'm listening for events in both the capture and bubble phase, and since I have the highest possible event priority, should I see all keyboard events? The problem is that I'm not... I've got a situation in my app where I start seeing only keyDown events with no matching keyUp events. It happens after I click on a ComboBox drop-down in a popup, then the popup is closed. At that point, I only get keyDown events until I click on another UI component. Any ideas what could be happening here? In general, is there a way I can guarantee that I can direct *all* keyboard events to a given function? Thanks, Troy. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
