Mike, Yeah, we're discussing the player keyboard API internally at Adobe. You can always listen for keyUp/keyDown on the systemManager and keep track of SHIFT, but if somebody is really mean and holds down SHIFT while outside the app then you're out of luck. -Alex

Search the archives of this list and you should find something. Solutions with problems with keyboard events may be similar enough to help you. I know I've pointed people to resources on issues similar to this. I'll see if I can find them later tonight when i get back to my computer. - Dan Freiman nondocs <http://nondocs.blogspot.com> On 5/2/07, Michael Schmalle <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > There is discussion about providing some other way to determine the state of shiftkeys so if you file it, it might not get fixed. So are you saying I'm out of lick right now? The discussion is happening at Adobe? It's in manager logic. MouseOver shows a cursor, I want the cursor not to appear if the shift key is down. hmm, I don't see any other way of attacking this problem the way I have it programmed right now. Well, not that I think about it, I guess I could settle for showing the mouse but not letting the action on mouseDown occur.

The mouseOver event is not returning the correct value. I hold the shift key down and then mouseOver, debugging the handler it shows the shiftKey = false. But, if I debug the mouseDown handler it shows the shiftKey is down with true. Is this a bug or the way it is supposed to work?
