This kind of relates to a lingering problem I've had. I would love to know
of a way to trap the Alt key before the OS grabs hold of it. (Sounds
impossible) I'm creating a simulator in which the user will have a host of
keyboard shortcuts using the Alt key (e.g. alt+x), but either the browser,
projector, Flash player, etc... grabs the key press before it can make it to
the movie. Since the users will be on a training PCs, we can regulate any
key trapping software loaded. If anyone knows of a way to trap the key or
of any software that can regulate the key, not disable it, please let me
know!
Thanks!

Subject: RE: [Flashnewbie] key press
I had been meaning to look into a multi-key sequence to activate my
easter egg, so this thread started me. I mutated Andreas' script to
work in my setup and thought it might be of use to someone else. I'm
activating the easter egg on CONTROL-SHIFT-D, which is 68. Seems to
work ok.
var keyTester = new Object();
keyTester.onKeyDown = function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.SHIFT) && Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) &&
Key.isDown(68)){
myFunction();
return;
}
myFunctionTrace();
}
Key.addListener(keyTester);
function myFunction(){
trace('multi-function was called');
}
function myFunctionTrace(){
trace('single key press: ' + Key.getCode());
}
>catAButton.onRelease = myFunction;
