Doesn’t work? Apparently it returns an array with the strings corresponding to each key in the keyboard indexed by its keycode. its there on the reference page but it seems its null, i guess it still has to be implemented, it doesn’t have a description or anything. If anyone knows of a simillar array/method plz tell me its really important and will save me 2 hours of boredom implementing it

If you check the language reference, currently Keyboard.CharCodeStrings is only available within the Air 1.0 runtime and is not implemented within Flash.

I ran into this same issue a couple of weeks ago and wrote a library for US English Keyboards to do CharCodeString lookups.

[You can download it here if you like.](http://www.ruttencutter.com/?p=8)

If you do anything to improve it or can provide additional language character sets let me know and I can post them to the library.

Cheers,
