Keyboard Press Detection Functionality

[bnns]

I'm trying to get flash to recognize ctrl+z and ctrl+y for redo and undo functionality, though the detection is cut short when i hold the ctrl button first it prints out 17 but when i hit the z it just kills the capture. how would i trap all keys?

//17 ctrl,z 90
//17 ctrl,y 89

The KeyboardEvent has a boolean property for ctrlKey. So, in your key down handler you can switch on the key code and check for z or y. Then inside there you can also check if ctrlKey is true.


function myHandler( e:KeyboardEvent ):void
{
switch ( e.keyCode )
{
case Keyboard.Y:
if ( ctrlKey )
{
// ctrl y pressed
}
case Keyboard.Z:
if ( ctrlKey )
{
// ctrl z pressed
}
}
}
