Event handling for keyboard strokes
- by david
Hey,
I'm trying to get familiar with the whole keyboard event detection thing.
Here's my sample code.
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
private function init():void{
addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,reportKeyDown);
}
private function reportKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
Alert.show("a key was pressed");
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
As you can see, I'm at stage 0 of playing around with it, but it won't work. Anyone has any idea what I should be doing instead?
Thanks
