Hi
Maybe this helps. It works directly without pressing any Buttons...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";
xmlns:cm="module.customModules.*"
xmlns:inc="indexIncludes.*"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF"
initialize="initThis()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function initThis(){
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
mx.controls.Alert.show("DOWN -> Code:
"+Key.getCode()+"\tACSII: "+Key.getAscii()+"\tKey: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));
};
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
//mx.controls.Alert.show("UP -> Code:
"+Key.getCode()+"\tACSII: "+Key.getAscii()+"\tKey: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
Cheers,
Christoph
