How can i use the keyboard in flash

-----------------------------------

How do i make the computer reconize when the 'a' button is pressed or 'b' etc. I know how to use the arrow keys (Key.UP, Key.DOWN, etc) but how do i use the other keys? thanks

well the same way as Key.UP/DOWN, but instead you might have to use their ASCII values :?

yeah tony is right, you need to use ascii. here's a simple way to check what the ascii value of the last letter you pressed:

onEnterFrame = function () {
	// checks if a is being pressed
	// if (Key.isDown(65)) {
	// trace("fun");
	// }
	
	// gives you the keyCode for the last letter you pressed
	trace(Key.getCode());
};
