actionscript keyUp and keyDown in the browser

• bananaboy

  can anyone help me with some actionscript issues? apparently keyUp and keyDown don't work so hot in a web browser. i'm looking for a workaround. for an example of something that does NOT work:

  myListener = new Object();
  myListener.onKeyDown = function () {
  theKey=(Key.getAscii());
  theKey=String.fromCharCode(theKe...
  // trace(theKey);

  }

  //this should work
  myListener = new Object();
  myListener.onKeyDown = function() {
  theKey = (Key.getAscii());
  theKey = String.fromCharCode(theKey);
  trace(theKey);
  };
  Key.addListener(myListener);
