The Key class provides methods and properties for obtaining information about the keyboard itself, and the keypresses input into it.

Flash Lite method extensions

The following table lists the method extension that has been added to the Key class when using ActionScript for Flash Lite 2.x and later.

The Flash Lite 2.x and 3.0 implementation of the getCode() method returns a string or a number, depending on what the platform passed in. The only valid key codes are the standard key codes accepted by this class and the "special" key codes listed as properties of the ExtendedKey class. This restriction is enforced by the player. For valid key code values, see the Key class in the Flash Lite 2.x and 3.0 ActionScript Language Reference. This reference provides tables that map keys to codes for letters, numbers, the numeric keypad, function keys, special constant keys, and other keys.
