RE: [flexcoders] How can I DISABLE THE STUPID SPACE BAR GLOBALLY?
You can't turn off the KeyboardEvents that
the Flash Player dispatches. But you can stop components from listening to
them.
In the Button source code, I see
override protected function
keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (!enabled)
return;
if (event.keyCode ==
Keyboard.SPACE)
buttonPressed();
}
override protected function
keyUpHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if (!enabled)
return;
if (event.keyCode ==
Keyboard.SPACE)
{
buttonReleased();
if (phase == ButtonPhase.DOWN)
dispatchEvent(new
MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK));
phase = ButtonPhase.UP;
}
}
So you could write a BetterButton subclass
and override these two handlers to not respond to the SPACE key. Then you'd use
BetterButton everywhere instead of Button

DISABLE THE STUPID SPACE BAR GLOBALLY?
Trouble!
So I found out today that the spacebar fires a click event on the last
focused button.
This includes hidden buttons, buttons in other states, and even
mouseEnabled = false buttons!! (The last one has to be a bug, why
would anyone want to allow keyboard 'clicks' on a button when they
aren't allowing mouse clicks on it.)
So basically I'm running around re-writing my event handlers for every
single button to ignore these spacebar triggers.
Is there someway I can just turn off this stupid spacebar from firing
the events?
Thanks!
Jamie
