Try capture phase from the stage. Otherwise you may not see it depending on who has focus.
Also post some code so we can see what you're trying to do. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of gboro54 Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 7:27 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] ctrl key problem.... I am having problems with the ctrl key....when the user is holding the ctrl key it means that they want to do a multi colum sort...so i have a function that simply takes a keyboard event and checks to see weather its the ctrl key or not then sets a variable to true or false based on weather its the ctrl key or not....The problem i am having is that it does not always call my function...I have the function being called on a key up and on key down and have tried putting it everywhere but it does not work unless you click at the bottem of the screen after each pass through the sort function.... Another thing is that when the user holds ctrl to select more then when thing from the datagrid and then clicks the column my sort function is never called....Why is this and is there a way to fix it??
