Try the following code:
myListener = new Object();
myListener.onKeyUp = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.getCode() == 67) {
[Code]....
hold Ctrl key and start pressing C. From some point you will notice that there is no KEY_UP event for the C key (there will also be no event for A,X,R,V and maybe more). For most of the button the KEY_UP event will still be dispatched.
I am trying to capture Ctrl+C. I have noticed that many times, there is no KEY_UP event for C key. I believe it happens in cases KEY_UP event for C key should be thrown just before or after KEY_UP event for Ctrlkey.
Why does this happen? How can I catch the KEY_UP for C key?
I'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 1 RepliesThe 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 1 RepliesI'm trying to make as3 application which uses custom mouse pointer while pressing spacebar on my keyboard. Everything works fine when I don't move my mouse but when I do the KEY_UP event is dispatched to my listener almost immediately (and this is while I'm still pressing my key down). Below is simple main class which used to test this behaviour:

In my application, I need to detect a CTRL-C event. I can detect CTRL-K , CTRL-T , CTRL-U, and a bunch of others, but it seems that CTRL-C is reserved ! First it detects the CTRL , but as long as the CTRL button is held down, it totally ignores C when it's pressed. I know that there was a key combination detection script here on kirupa offered by someone (Michael), but it has this problem as well. how I can detect this combination?? Here is the code Im using to test which key is being detected (Note that debug is the variable name of a textfield on the main timeline, because testing key combination events inside of flash sometimes causes problems):

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?
I need to fire an event by pressing CTRL+s.
I tried this but it won't work:
if(e.ctrlKey == true && e.keyCode == 81){
trace("CTRL+S")
}
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.

For some reason I cannot catch the Ctrl + Z keyDown event in my Flex application when it runs in IE. It works fine in FF/Chrome/Safari.
I have a simple Group control where I listen for keyDown and try implement my own Undo logic. I need to catch Ctrl + Z because any other key combination would feel unnatural to most users.
Just curious if there is a way to add a listener event for "Ctrl + Click" or something like that... Just playing around and wanted to add a "hidden" click option..

I am writing an AIR application in Flex. The application needs to be able to handle shortcuts on both Mac and Windows. I have the shortcuts on the Windows side working, but the same application on a Mac doesnt seem to trigger the commandKey property on a Keyboard event when the user is also using another key in combination (ex. command+g doesnt work)
View 2 RepliesI want my data grid to behave by default as if the user is holding the control key down. So when an item is clicked, then another item they are both part of the selection, clicking them again removes them from the selection. I already have allowMultipleSelection = true but I can't seem to find any setting that does this. I'm working on the itemclick event in the meantime, but it seems like there might be an easy to use setting I'm missing.
View 3 RepliesI need to disable pasting text in a textinout (flex3) : CTRL+V
View 2 RepliesI know that you can use the context menu using a right-mouse-click in a control to choose to cut, copy, paste, etc. I've also noticed that you can use the windows keyboard shortcuts CTRL-C for Copy and CTRL-V for Paste.
Windows supports native CTRL-Insert (for copy) and SHIFT-Insert (for paste).
However, within Flex, it seems these do not appear to work. Has anyone been able to either allow these keyboard events?
I am trying to implement find functionality in my application and for this I am trying to open a find popup based on keyboard inputs like F3 or CTRL + F. But on F3, instead of going to event listener, it opens up the default find toolbar of the Internet Explorer instead. how I could bypass it and use f3 in my application?
Another thing is how do I capture CTRL + F in flex?

Some 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?

View 2 RepliesI have a typing game and I want to be able to detect period and commas, however unless you are holding down another key (any other key), the period and comma keys do not trigger KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP. I found that sometimes they would work when focus was set to the document class. After hours of debugging my game trying to figure it out, I decided to create a new project to JUST test this problem. Here's the absolute barbones example:
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;[code]..............
If you run this, it should automatically set focus to the document class. At this point, the period and the comma do not work. Now click the stage and you will find that the comma and period do not work UNLESS you hold down another key (for example hold down the m key and then press the comma key). Also at this time, focus is set to null.Now click the textfield, and the comma and the period work again.
The problem is that I've done a lot of work in my game, and there's too much code bound to shift and control keys. For example you need to hold shift key to select multiple soldiers or control key to shoot or sometimes pause the game or even call a map, a lot of stuff in GUI depends on those keys as well. Both KEY_UP and KEY_DOWN are added to the stage object. But, time after time, there happens a very annoying thing, KEY_UP event just doesn't fire for shift or control (in most cases it does, but not always). That is, I press shift, start selecting soldiers, then release shift but Flash Player keeps thinking it's still pressed, so I can still select multiple soldiers, which is not good.
I found the exact same problem here: [URL]
