Button
281
Example
In the following example, a function that sends text to the Output panel is defined for the
onKeyDown
handler. Create a button called
my_btn
on the Stage, and enter the following
ActionScript in a frame on the Timeline:
my_btn.onKeyDown = function() {
trace("onKeyDown: "+this._name+" (Key: "+getKeyPressed()+")");
};
function getKeyPressed():String {
var theKey:String;
switch (Key.getAscii()) {
case Key.BACKSPACE :
theKey = "BACKSPACE";
break;
case Key.SPACE :
theKey = "SPACE";
break;
default :
theKey = chr(Key.getAscii());
}
return theKey;
}
Select Control > Test Movie to test the SWF file. Make sure you select Control > Disable
Keyboard Shortcuts in the test environment. Then press the Tab key until the button has
focus (a yellow rectangle appears around the
my_btn
instance) and start pressing keys on your
keyboard. When you press keys, they are displayed in the Output panel.
