A requirement arose whereby I needed to trap the user hitting the enter key to submit a form. Courtesy of the Flash List here is the code in question, just remember to place it in your init() statement: [as]// special listener to trap to enter key myReturnKey = new Object(); myReturnKey.onKeyDown = function (){ var _$key = Key.getCode(); // now check for when ENTER is pressed if (_$key == 13) { // enter key was pressed go do something } } Key.addListener(myReturnKey);[/as]
