[AS 3] Key Events with Actionscript

Here is a simple way of capturing keyboard events.

package
{
	import flash.display.MovieClip;
	import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;

	public class KeyEvents extends MovieClip
	{
		public function KeyEvents ()
		{
			stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,onKeyDownFX);
			stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,onKeyUpFX);
		}

		public function onKeyDownFX (event:KeyboardEvent)
		{
			trace ("Key is DOWN!");
			trace ("--------------")
			trace ("Key Code => " + event.keyCode);
			trace ("Control Key (Boolean) => " + event.ctrlKey);
			trace ("Shift Key (Boolean) => " + event.shiftKey);
			trace ("Alt Key (Boolean) => " + event.altKey);
		}

		public function onKeyUpFX (event:KeyboardEvent)
		{
			trace ("Key is UP!");
			trace ("--------------")
			trace ("")
		}
	}
}
