flash (macromedia): I have an invisable button on a form that I need to do something when the
Tab key is pressed.
The following code does nothing.

on (release, keyPress "<TAB>") {
trace("The Left arrow key has been pressed.");
}

Grateful for any help

Thanks for the help
I am trying to do a software simulation that requires the user to press the Tab key
to move to the next screen. Will have to find another way to do this since using the Tab
is a problem.

TAB is not a good key to play with.
Most of the applications reserved tab , function , enter and esc for the
application control not the content . SO browser always will have the priority to use
it . ANyway , best way to catch (still not recommending to use it) would be loop
like enter frame attach to frame , no need the button

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.TAB)) {
trace("tab is down");
}
};
