I want to be able to capture Ctrl + another key.  
How do I do this?

I’ve got the following code from help:

var keyListener:Object = new Object();  
keyListener.onKeyDown = function()  
{  
trace("DOWN -\> Code: “+Key.getCode()+” ACSII: “+Key.getAscii()+” Key: "+chr(Key.getAscii()));  
};  
Key.addListener(keyListener);

But I can’t seem to be able to capture key combinations like Ctrl + another key.

For what I need to do, I really need to capture several key combinations.  
At the very least, I want to be able to capture Ctrl + another key.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
