This may be simple . This is the case. i have added a keyboard event listener for the application. when i have focus on any of the controls like TextInput, DateField , i can listen for the keyboard event . But when the focus is on the ComboBox , the event cannot be trapped . I copied the code below, i used for testing <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " layout="vertical" applicationComplete="onInit()" > <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert; private function onInit():void { application.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,onKeyDown); } private function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void { } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:TextInput/> <mx:ComboBox /> </mx:Application>
