Flash Keyboard Events Not Working…Duh.
I’m doing some work with flash.ui.Keyboard today. During testing in the Flash environment, every time I pressed (for example) the ‘F’ key, it was shifting focus to the Tools ‘Fill Transform’ tool and therefore not registering the event. To get around this, I made a copy of my shortcuts and removed all the tool shortcuts. However, the Keyboard was not registering Keyboard.BACKSPACE presses and some of the other keys. After some poking around, I found this little number when previewing the SWF … Control > Disable Keyboard Shortcuts. Duh! This makes sure than the IDE is not receiving the Keyboard events during preview.
Oh man, lol, that sucks!

Dude. Same problem here. Thanks for letting me in on the secret, I thought I forgot how to make a button!
