Thanks for the replies.

When you say "buttons are meant to be pressed like that" - do you mean that
it is standard practice to use the tab key to move between buttons and then
use the SPACE key to click it?

You are correct in assuming I have a game where there is a button on the
interface that allows the user to quit the game.

I have the following code on this button:

gameMenuBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickGameMenuButton);

function clickGameMenuButton(event:MouseEvent) {

gotoAndStop("splash");
}

I was hoping there was just a simple way to prevent the SPACE key from
virtually clicking this button. I still want the user to be able to click it
with the mouse.
