Hi,
I have something very annoying going on in Flash. Everytime I want to type { or }, the ActionScript window simply unfocuses. It keeps doing that, so I can’t type those characters. I usually open NotePad, type them there and copy them to Flash, but isn’t there a better way to solve this ?
*Oh, right, I’m using Flash MX.
yikes, thats insane. Do you have anything else running (or even maybe Flash itself) that has SHIFT + ] as a hotkey?? If not all I can suggest is re-installing Flash :-\
Not that I know off … My key for the { bracket is ALT GR+4. I know, it might be weird for you guys. ALT 4 is close, maybe ALT GR +4 is unfocus ?
… Crap.
alt gr+4 ? Thats a weird combo for { :!: (alt brings up the file menu so it would unfocus)
sounds like a poor position to be in
I’m gonna set my keyb language to another one so I won’t have to use ALT GR anymore. Gonna see if it works then.
Ok so I set it to another language, and now I can type { by pressing SHIFT+^. I also tried alt gr+4 in this language, but it didn’t unfocus now. Then what the h€ll is going on ??
crazy languages :sure:
I stick with english so I dont know any better 
You can go to the shortcuts panel, and set it back to Flash 5 and it should work
I don’t know if this would work while using flash, but to get to other symbols, you can hold down alt then type in numbers on the keypad of your keyboard. Alt+0123 is ‘{’ and Alt+0125 is ‘}’. Does that help?
Ilyas - Shortcuts panel ? Where ?
Freddy - That works, great idea :thumb:
