I want to allow editing of certain characters. All of which is
dependent on the keyboard event/text input, mask, caret index, and
selection begin/end index.
Here's a question for the keyboard cowboys that has stumped me for awhile
Internet Explorer grabs the Control-S, Control-P, and Control-O
keystrokes (and other commands) and they never even make it to the
player. No Keydown event even occurs and this is with focus in the
flash player
That's fine for printable characters (i.e. text), but not for trapping
and rejecting special keys like DELETE, BACKSPACE, LEFT, RIGHT, etc.
Those keys don't initiate a textInput event. Try it. Thank for the
suggestion though.

Thanks for the feedback, but that does not do the trick. The event
is not cancelable, so I cannot prevent the keystrokes. For example,
I'm using a TextInput control. I can handle the textInput event and
cancel it (not allow the new text to be input) using the
prevenDefault() method.
Ah,
I got ya. Yeah, I know I read somwhere in the docs about this issue. I can't remeber if it pertains to your particular problem.
EDIT - I looked and now REALLY understand you.
As far as I know, IE delete, there is no way as of yet.
... But don't take my word for it ;-)
I don't think
write this off top my head,
but there are two phases for event, one is capturing phase, the other bubbling phase.
I guess what you need to do is like this:
Application.application.addEventListener(keyDown, onKeyDown, true);
setting third param to true will switch to capture phase, then you
Jeremy,
If that works... props to you man! ;-)

I guess what you need to do is like this:
No dice. I do see the eventPhase equal to 1 (capture), but the
stopPropagation() and stopImmediatePropagation() still do not
prevent the DELETE from being processed. I'm beginning to think I'm
just going about this the wrong way. There has to be a way to do
this.
I'd love to see what's
well, if DELETE is the only key you want to rule out, why not just do a if...else to detect it ?
