Yep...
You can put something along these lines in the field's sprite behavior:
on keyDown me
beep
pass
end
"pass" is the key here - if you intercept a keypress with a keyDown, you
have to use pass for it to actually enter the key into the field.
you can also check for the pressed keys with a case (or if) statement, and
choose which ones you want to pass and which ones you don't:
on keyDown me
case the key of
RETURN: nothing --don't enter it into the field
SPACE: beep --beep and don't enter
"k":
alert "K has been pressed!" --do something
pass --and enter into the field
otherwise pass --everything else, just enter into the field
end case
end
