RE: [flexcoders] KeyDown Event returns incorrect ascii values

U could also try and see if Key.getCode does return the 
right value.

Can you try setting 
System.useCodepage = true and see if that changes which values you 
get?

Subject: [flexcoders] KeyDown
Event returns incorrect ascii values



 


KeyDown Event returns incorrect ascii values when
used with a spanish
layout keyboard.

I followed the calculator tutorial
<http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flex/articles/calculator.html>
and tried to extend it to accept keyboard input.
I noticed that the ascii values are returned,
according to the
documentation, based on an us english layout
keyboard.

It works as documented, but not as I
expected.  I think that function is
completely useless for people with a non-us
keyboard,
and keyboard layout cannot be assumed, as we are
developing applications
for the internet.

Well, when I tried to get the ascii codes, I was
not able to get the
correct codes.
For example, when i press Shift + 2, I get an at
"@" sign , instead of a
quote sign, as if I had an english keyboard.
I mean, that is very cool when writing games when
I need to get full
control of the shift, control, etc, but when I was
trying to
get regular keyboard input for a simple
calculator, i was not able to
enter the equal sign by pressing
Shift + 0, as I would do in any application using
my normal spanish
keyboard, to enter the "=", but I get
the ")" instead.

Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong, or tell
me the rationale
behind this design?

I'm attaching my modified calculator in case
someone wants to review it.1

Thanks in advance,
