As usual, using Flash form components turns the documentation into misleading inaccuracies or out and out lies.

I have a form screen that makes a little dialog box with in input text field and two buttons.

I used the focus manager to give focus to the field, and invoke the Okay button when you hit the Enter key.

Now all I want to do is have the dialog go away if you hit Escape.

Again, what would have been a one liner in any other development environment has turned into half a day of frustration. How in the holy hell do you trap a keystroke with these components? I can make listener objects all day, but they turn a deaf ear to me.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm guessing that if I make a regular movie and add a listener to it, it will work as advertised. The form components really suck.

EDIT: I went to give that a shot. Flash crashed. Hooray.
