Keyboard won't respond

hey,

 

i'm trying familiar whole keyboard event detection thing.

 

here's sample code.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
               creationcomplete="init()">
   
    <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 pressed");
            }
           
        ]]>
    </fx:script>

</s:application>

thanks

your code fine.

 

it won't fire event unless has focus on something.

 

add check box

start typing

nothing happen.

 

add check box

click on check box

start typing, , it'll fire event.

 

add check box

click on check box,

move mouse away start typing

it'll still fire event.
