When a flash app is loaded in the browser, it default captures the CTRL-TAB keystroke which is needed for changes tabs in modern browsers.
Any ideas on how to configure Flash Builder 4 to not listen for these keystrokes or to bubble them up to the browser?
How to disable Ctrl+W or Ctrl+C and Tab for .swf file
ctrlKey = false; in KeyBoardEvents but how to apply it to the stage.
The flashplayer catches all keys pressed by the user. I'd like to know if there's a way or workaround to pass them to the browser. For instance, Ctrl-T (open new tab in firefox). I'd like to re-enable this shortcut. Maybe with javascript?

View 13 RepliesI've been looking for a way to diable the ALT key or disable a user exiting my flash movie through ctrl-alt-delete. I've searched around online and all that i've found is this: fscommand("trapallkeys", "true"); it works good for some keys, but not what I'm looking for. Everything else is just for old AS. I need this for Mx.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to make the content assist in Flex Builder to pop up as soon as I start typing and not just after pressing CTRL+SPACE? It does pop up by itself after a '.' (foo.) or a ':' (var foo:). But to get a list of available variables and methods I have to press CTRL+SPACE.

View 2 RepliesI am building a project where I use an external API loaded from the web, and I also load files locally. As I understand it, I cannot load both local and external files without causing a security sandbox error.Once I open the API it seems to try and listen to mouse events and such, and causes a securityIts really annoying since I am trying to trace some debug outputs but I can't read them as they get overwhelmed by the error messages.I know I cannot fix it, but I would simply like to disable these warnings. Is there any way?(please don't post solutions to fix the error, I tried all of them)I just want to disable the messages.Here is the error message:

I have a Flash movie which fills the whole browser window. This means that always the key events are catched ("stolen") by the Flash movie only, when using Firefox. IE7 seems to be working as I want.
I want for example ctrl+w (close window), ctrl+n (new window), ctrl+t (new tab) to work in Firefox while the focus is on my Flash movie. How to accomplish this?
In Flash Builder, for objects, properties, variables and such where your cursor is on it, the editor highlights all instances of that name in the code with a grey box. This can be very distracting and I was wondering if there was a way to turn it off or if there is a hot key to disable it.Another things that is very distracting are the mouse hover popups, although apparently there's no way to disable those :
Flash Builder + Eclipse: disable mouse hover popup?
I'm tracking the keyUp state of the CTRL key and I'm okay with the results except when it comes to key combinations. The code I wrote below is for you to see what the issue is.
Press the CTRL/Apple key and you'll see it traces "CTRL on". Release it and you'll see it traces "CTRL off". No problem there. Now press CTRL and then press the A key (as in select all), now release A, then release the CTRL key and you see nothing traces. Does anybody have an idea about a workaround to that? I prefer not to use a continuous ENTER_FRAME hack for that if any.

View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is a way to make the new Package Explorer window in Flash Builder emulate Flex Builders 'Flex navigator' window?
Bottom line is I don't always need to peer into SWC's, and I don't like having a 'default package' automatically created for me. Not sure why the interface wasn't made simpler, allowing access to more power and complexity only if necessary. I want to focus on the code, not on how to navigate and use the bells and whistles in the coding environment.
I am not able to detect the keyboard event CTRL+V on a swf using AS3 in IE. It seems to trigger the default browser behavior, and im not able to do anything.

I have a flash project that I have been working on for a while, today its stopped functioning properly. To be clear. It still runs JUST FINE when I preview it (CTRL+ENTER), but when I publish the file and run the SWF file, or the HTML file the movie no longer functions properly. Specifically any ActionScript from the main timeline seems to no longer be functioning. ActionScript contained within movie clips continues to function properly, but nothing else.There is about 400 lines of code right now (variables, functions etc.)
View 8 Repliesjust can't understand why Adobe has not corrected this very basic bug since ages. So, the thing is Windows users tend to love, GOT USED TO using CTRL+INSERT and SHIFT+INSERT for copy and paste operations.Yyyeeas I know, that under Keyboard shortcuts I can define my own shortcuts, but the real problem is, that even after the Shortcut manager eats shift insert as a paste hotkey, it just fails to function.CTRL INSERT works like a charm, but SHIFT INSERT as Paste DOES NOT.AAARRRGGHHH. ADOBE PLEASE CORRECT THIS ERROR TO ALLEVIATE THE PAIN!
View 6 RepliesSome of my Flash application components require to intercept Ctrl + F4 keyboard events. Unfortunately, the KeyboardEvent is not caught when running the app under IE since it is conflicting with the IE native shortcut (closing the active tab). Is there a way (ideally relying on Flash principles) to intercept such keystrokes?

I just upgraded to Flash Builder 4 (beta 2) from Flex Builder 3 which I have been using since it came out. Problem: All the projects that were in my workspace from Flex Builder 3 did not carry over into Flash Builder 4 (e.g. in the "Flex Navigator" view if FB3). Flash Builder 4 now uses the .FXP format to manage projects, but Flex Builder 3 did not. Is there an easy way to get all my projects back into Flash Builder 4?

When I test a flash file by hitting "ctrl+Enter" it creates a .swf in same directory as my .fla. does the resulting .swf file actually use the selected publish settings of my .fla file? Or when creating an .swf by "ctrl+enter" does it only use a "default" setting?
View 3 RepliesI have been using the up/down, left right keys ito scale and rotate an object. I decided to change that to CTRL+up/down/left/right key so I could use the arrows to position the object.
When I change
if( event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP)
to
if( event.keyCode == Keyboard.UP && event.ctrlKey)
nothing happens.
I've tried a few tests and I can CTRL+left and CTRL+right fires an event, but CTRL+Up or CTRL+Down does not fire an event.
without the && event.ctrlKey added, all events work fine. So I knopw the CTRL key works and the arrows work. Just not CTRL+UP or CTRL+DOWN arrow together.
It might be my DELL laptop keyboard, but if so, many will have this problem.
