Key.onKeyDown

key.onKeyDown, onKeyDown

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

    someListener.onKeyDown

Description

Listener; notified when a key is pressed. To use `onKeyDown` you must create a listener object. You can then define a function for `onKeyDown` and use the `addListener` method to register the listener with the Key object, as in the following:

    someListener = new Object();
    someListener.onKeyDown = function () { ... };
    Key.addListener(someListener);

Listeners enable different pieces of code to cooperate because multiple listeners can receive notification about a single event.
