Keyboard Shortcuts

[hari_d]

Did any body tried to access the flex components at run time using key board
shotcuts? I badly need working code or any suggestions. I perticulartly needed
for TabNavigator and also for all most all controlers. Thanks in advance.:o

Look in the livedocs ([url]http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/[/url]) language reference and search on 'key class'.

thank u very much for valuable info but I did get some compilation error after
using an example code for Key class in Action Script Language Reference( pg
#297), saying "there is no property with name '_accProps'. Do you have any idea
about this.
Here is my code..


// ActionScript Document

function initApp()
{
var myListener:Object = new Object();
Key.addListener(myListener);
myListener.onKeydown = myOnKeyDown();
my_btn.onPress = myOnPress();

my_btn._accProps.shortcut = "Ctrl+7";
Accessibility.updateProperties();
}

function myOnKeyDown()
{
// 55 is key code for 7
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.getCode() == 55)
{
Selection.setFocus(my_btn);
my_btn.onPress();
}
}
function myOnPress()
{
mx.controls.Alert.show("hello","myOnPress");
}

Hi,

I tried the above code and also get the same error although I already turned
accessibility to true in the flex-config.xml file. And the Alert gets executed
when the page loads, without having to press ctrl+7, how come? Please help.
Here's my code:

Thanks.

--------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" height="100%"
backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" initialize="initApp();">
<mx:Script>
<!]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button id="my_btn"></mx:Button>
</mx:Application>

Well, this code is wrong, you need to use an event handler all you're doing is
setting the var my_btn.onPress to do myOnPress();

That's why it will load when the application starts.

if ( my_btn.onPress ) {
my_btn.onPress = myOnPress();
}

Should do the trick.... it may be there's a specific value of a button you
need to check for but you can find that in the documentation

my_btn.onPress = myOnPress();
