    I need to figure out how to capture any keypressed when the flash app has focus. I want to know how does the game developers capture the up, down, left, right, a, s, z, x keys and send them to the flash application.


    I found the following code, but it is for flash and I am using flex instead of flash and don't have frames to place it.

    var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
	trace("DOWN -> Code: "+Key.getCode()+"\tACSII: "+Key.getAscii()+"\tKey: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));
};
keyListener.onKeyUp = function() {
	trace("UP -> Code: "+Key.getCode()+"\tACSII: "+Key.getAscii()+"\tKey: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
    Code (markup):

    Yep, I seen that, but the page doesn't load for me all the way and I don't see the link to the tutorial. Post the link to where the tutorial link leads please.

    Cause you just posted the tut header not the link to the tut. ;)

    Oh yeah, this is Adobe FLEX not flash so I can't hook into any KeyFrames of movie clips because Flex doesn't have it. So there isn't any "onClipEvent(enterFrame){"... Flex is based on Flash, but doesn't have the movie clips stuff.
