If you are looking for 'global' application keyboard events. you might want to attach your listeners at the stage level. Remember though, that your application will have to have focus in order to process stage events. If you are looking for operating system level hooks. you are going to hit a wall. Being able to capture true 'global' key/mouse events (at the operating system level) has unimaginable security implications. I think that it's safe to say that that is where the line will be drawn for some time. Global application events = no problem. Global operating system events = no touchy.

In my experience (which was actually with AIR, not a Flex browser based app) they are. Listening to keyboard events at the main windowedApplication did nothing. Also, I'll add that any "Caught" keyboard event did not continue to bubble up to the main WindowedApplication (unless you rebroadcast).
