Background: I do a lot of work where I use Flash as an Interface prototype
engine. Consequently, much of my material is driven by the Keyboard rather
than mouse. (Actually, a lot of it is driven by an IR remote control
masquerading as a keyboard; however, I digress...).

I have a prototype where I am trapping a whole mess of Keystrokes and I need
to be able to distinguish between CTRL-F7 and F7 in my trapping. Currently,
whenever I capture CTRL-F7 (and it does work) it also fires off F7.

Does anyone know how to avoid this quirk without tangling myself up in nested
logic? It would seem to me that this should be UNIQUE...

<SIMPLIFIED CODE>
keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown=function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
chk_rightArrow.selected=true;
txt_display.text="Right Arrow";
txt_info.text="Keyboard Equivalent: RIGHT ARROW"
}
if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
chk_next.selected=true;
txt_display.text="Next";
txt_info.text="Keyboard Equivalent: CTRL-RIGHT";
}
}
Key.addListener(keyListener);

Many thanks,

As a follow-up - The following code solves this problem - but is there a better
way?

keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown=function(){
if(Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)){
if(Key.isDown(17)){
chk_next.selected=true;
txt_display.text="Next";
txt_info.text="Keyboard Equivalent: CTRL-RIGHT";
}
else{
chk_rightArrow.selected=true;
txt_display.text="Right Arrow";
txt_info.text="Keyboard Equivalent: RIGHT ARROW"
}
}
}
Key.addListener(keyListener);
