Hi
Can anyone help me with this simple problem, it breaks my app and I think it
will break many app that are ported to the V2 architecture.

This is my usual way to stop a key from functionning:
Create a simple button, add that code to it:

on (keyPress " <Up > ") {
trace( " <Up > ");
1+1; //trick to disable the key
}

Download this really simple demo to test it:

It 's important because in my app I need to disable the UP and DOWN keys.
Button interception is my only known way to stop a key before it gets into a
textfield (for user input).


Thank You
