Need to create a application which reads input from card reader.

Input coming from card reader as strings which is similar to the keyboard event. In flex,I can catch this string by listening key event.

Problem is that when someone presses key while swiping a card from card reader. Both will be appended in the input. How can i resolve this? Please suggest.
