Can someone tell me the number for the space bar for action script 2 if you want to tell it to do something when you click the space bar.

var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if(Key.getCode() == "32"){
// do something
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);


**You will need to disable keyboard shortcuts to test this within the IDE**

chrisf671,

In case you're interested in other key codes as well, search the phrase
"Keyboard Keys and Key Code Values" in the Help docs and you'll find the
whole list. If you have Flash CS3 and are using ActionScript 3.0, you'll
see that even in the Help doc book "Programming ActionScript 3.0," >
"Capturing user input" > "Capturing keyboard input," a link still directs
you to the list for ActionScript 2.0. So they haven't changed.
