I’m using following code to trap the key press events.  
[AS]  
myListener = new Object ();  
myListener.onKeyDown = function ()  
{  
trace(Key.getCode());  
if (Key.getCode()==13)//code for ENTER key is 13  
{  
trace (“asdf”);  
}  
};  
Key.addListener (myListener);  
[/AS]

Now when I hit ENTER nothing is traced and “asdf” isn’t printed,  
while hitting anyother key gives it’s code in output.

Any clue?
