CONTROL (Key.CONTROL property)

The key code value for the Control key (17).

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5

Example

The following example assigns the keyboard shortcut Control+7 to a button with an instance name of my_btn and makes information about the shortcut available to screen readers (see _accProps). In this example, when you press Control+7 the myOnPress function displays the text hello in the Output panel.

function myOnPress() {
    trace("hello");
}
function myOnKeyDown() {
    // 55 is key code for 7
    if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.getCode() == 55) {
    Selection.setFocus(my_btn);
    my_btn.onPress();
    }
}
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = myOnKeyDown;
Key.addListener(myListener);
my_btn.onPress = myOnPress;
my_btn._accProps.shortcut = "Ctrl+7";
Accessibility.updateProperties();
