You need to do a listener for the keyboard and then check what key was pressed
by tracing its keyCode value. Then do an if statement seeing if the keycode
pressed is equal to the Enter key keycode and then run your code that will
execute just like if the viewer clicked the movieclip.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Enter key to activate focused button
Sent: Dec 13, 2009 9:22 PM
I have set up a custom Tab order, so the Tab key moves through the interactive
elements (buttons) of my SWF in the order I want. I then want the Enter key to
execute the code for whichever button has focus (as if that button was
clicked). I can't work out how to add a listener that listens for the Enter key
to be pressed and then execute the code the button (as suggested by Karl:
thanks). Can anybody provide a code snippet for this?
I have tried to find a solution in the online help system for Flash, but that
system is sadly lacking. For instance, if I select "This Help system only" and
do a search for addEventListener I get no results - which seems ludicrous to
me. How is it possible that the term addEventListener does not exist anywhere
in the Flash Help system?
