RE: [Flashcoders] How to detect for modifier (alt/ctrl) keys

The work-around I listed would of course only work if you are just interested in key combo's with either Alt or Ctrl. Something like (right) Alt-Ctrl-5 won't work. I had a second thought on Henriks comment about Alt vs AltGr and Googled a bit. Part of Wiki article: Control + Alt as

Re: [Flashcoders] How to detect for modifier (alt/ctrl) keys

Hi, I would suggest using a "keyboard manager" class that tracks when various keys are pressed and sets a flag - this would effectively allow you to "Poll" such keys when you are checking others. There is a good example from Richard Lord here: http://www.richardlord.net/blog/polling-the-keyb
