Key events on different buttons/precedence

1

i’ve got a couple of different key functions that i want to put on two buttons:

one button triggers a loadMC function, which i also want to trigger w. the space key.

the other button hides/shows another MC, which i want to trigger w. ‘tab’

the problem now is that only one works at a time–is there a way to get them to work simultaneously?

Howdy…

Care to show us what you have in the code??? I’d love to take a look… =)

howdy back,
i got it figured out last nite, now i’m away from my machine until sunday–i’ll post it then-i think the key was to get all of them on one button, and not use the tab key…

Yup…

One other reason why I wanted to see what you have had to do with the ‘TAB’ key… :beam: Glad you got it sorted out… :wink:

have you had the same problem? i thought i was crazy at first (-:
i think maybe it ‘reserves’ the tab key if there is more than one button in the MC so that it can ‘tab’ to the other buttons? whatever, just another little quirk–i’m just glad i got it working…in the nick of time, too!:flower:

Well… I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing or exactly opposite thing… =)

Were you able to check on the TAB key press and override its normal functionality of the TAB key which is traversing the text fields within the browser, for example…

I have read several threads that was asking if we can override the TAB key and have it to do something else… and all the answers that I have read said that it is not possible… I have tried real quick one time and I wasn’t able to do that, so that’s my meaning regarding the TAB key in this thread…

So… Can you tell me what you did and how you have/haven’t solve the problem??? =)
