Instead of using

.

.

var bCTRLPressed:Boolean = event.ctrlKey;

if( bCTRLPressed){

var curKeyCode:int = event.keyCode;

if(curKeyCode==83){

//CTRL + S pressed; saveCall()

}

.

.

You could just use the following:

private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {

var curKeyCode:int = event.keyCode;

if(curKeyCode==14){

//CTRL + N pressed;

}

.

.

No need to check if CTRL is pressed, unless you really need to react on a CTRL keypress alone.

CTRL + [x] does have its own keyCode, ex:

CTRL + A = 1

CTRL + B = 2

CTRL + C = 3

---

ALT + A = 197

ALT + B = 166

ALT + C = 199

---

A = 65

B = 66

C = 67

Happy coding...

Thank you Maryam for the example, here is another example that works on flex 3:

private function init():void{

//your init code

this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,keyHandler);

}

private function keyHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void {

var bCTRLPressed:Boolean = event.ctrlKey;

if( bCTRLPressed){

var curKeyCode:int = event.keyCode;

if(curKeyCode==83){

//CTRL + S pressed; saveCall()

}

if(curKeyCode==78 ){

//CTRL + N pressed; NewEntryCall()

}

if(curKeyCode == 68){

//CTRL + D pressed; DeleteEntryCall()

}

if(curKeyCode == 67){

//CTRL + C pressed; CopyCall()

}

if(curKeyCode == 70){

//CTRL + F pressed; SearchCall()

}

}

}

Hi
I would like the above code ("Ctrl+1") (Keyboard shortcuts for Flex UI components) to make it work on Flex2.0 too. Since Flex2.0 doesn't have mx.utils.Delegate. Is there any alternate solutions for the above code?
Regards,
Ravi.G
