Hello,

I have a problem in a flash project which is being developed as a stand alone application that will be played from a cd. At any point in the application where the user hits the enter key, the program will jump to the text frame.

Is there a way to suppress this?

I’ve tried this line of code but it doesn’t respond:

var myListener:Object = new Object();  
myListener.onKeyDown = function()  
{  
if( Key.getCode() == Key.ENTER )  
{  
\_root.gotoAndStop( \_root.\_currentframe ); //keeps the program on the current frame  
}  
}

Key.addListener( myListener );
