Re: [flexcoders] Global keyboard capture?
stage.focus = null; However, the FocusManager may fight to put the focus somewhere. Ah, yes... I remember using that as my original attempt to fix this last year... I put a stage.focus = null in my enterFrame event handler and the FocusManager continually grabbed it back from me. Yeah, I recall that you were adding priority as int.MAX_VALUE. Did you try it with default priority? I'm not sure if there are issues using MAX_INT as priority. Yeah, I originally had it with the default priority. I didn't see a difference by changing the priority. Do you have default wmode or are you using some other wmode? Are there other focusable widgets in the HTML wrapper? I'm loading the SWF directly in the browser, no wrapper HTML. When you only see keydown and no keyup, is the control with focus responding? If you put a target phase listener on that control is it reporting the KEY_UP event? That's the quirky thing... when I see it, I've not longer got a reference to the control that had the focus (a combo box). I've got a popup (non-modal) that displays a form of controls (mainly sliders and combo boxes). I occasionally had the problem that when the popup was closed (PopUpManager.removePopUp(dialog); dialog = null;) I'd have to click back onto my application to return the focus to it (no keybaord events would fire). But, I've recently added a new derived ComboBox class that displays images as the item renderer (and has an overriden updateDisplayList to display the image in place of the textinput). The code I added doesn't add/remove any event listeners and does nothing keyboard related (just rendering). And now I get keyDown's but not keyUp's (until I click back on the app, at which time I get the keyUp's again). Troy.
Re: [flexcoders] Global keyboard capture?
This is why Rick's suggestion of both a capture and non-capture phase listener on stage is correct. Which is what I was doing originally, as per the source code in my first post. If a display object has the focus, then is removed from the stage, does it automatically lose the focus (I would think so) even if it still has event listeners registered? Troy.
RE: [flexcoders] Global keyboard capture?
I hardly ever use KEY_UP so if there's some quirk there, I wouldn't know about it. In theory, if the object that had focus was in a popup and the popup was removed, the framework should return focus to the last focused entity in the main app or some other popup depending on the z-order. If you've removed the focused object from the popup prior to removing the entire popup, I'm not sure who would get focus, but basically the framework is trying to assign focus to something in most cases. If you have a small test case, I can try to take a look at it.

[flexcoders] Global keyboard capture?
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.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, handleKeyboard, false, int.MAX_VALUE); stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, handleKeyboard, false, int.MAX_VALUE); stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, handleKeyboard, true, int.MAX_VALUE); stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.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.

Re: [flexcoders] Global keyboard capture?
For Flex, use systemManager instead of stage from what i was told and the capture. no idea on combo sorry Doesn't make a difference. The stage should be as low-level as it gets... shouldn't all keyboard events pass through the stage in either the capture or bubble phase?

Re: [flexcoders] Global keyboard capture?
Keep in mind that something must broadcast the event. a TextInput will broadcast a keyboard event. A container or Application will not.

RE: [flexcoders] Global keyboard capture?
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.

A continuance on the topic.

RE: [flexcoders] Global keyboard capture?
For the record, so there is no more guessing: 1) The Application or WindowedApplication is not the top-level window and does not parent popup and thus events from popups do not bubble through the application 2) SystemManager is the top-level window, and all events from all display objects bubble through the SM unless their propagation has been stopped 3) Capture phase listeners on the SystemManager should get all events for all child display objects 4) If no display object has focus, but the player does have focus, then the Stage dispatches keyboard events which will not be caught by a listener on SystemManager 5) Capture phase listeners on the Stage will not catch events dispatched from the Stage, only events dispatched by children of the Stage and thus if no display object has focus, there is no place to hook a capture-phase listener that will catch the keyboard events dispatched from the stage.
