Hi,

I just started using TLF text and it’s interesting. I have this issue however.  
I made an swf to demonstrate the problem and you can try it here:  
[http://megaswf.com/serve/1131617](http://megaswf.com/serve/1131617)

But this is the problem:  
I have an input textfield (type input) and output textfield (dynamic not selectable) and eventlisteners on the input fields. It seems like the TLF does not register the enter-key. Try it for yourself via the link above.

My code is:

```auto
txtInputClassic.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fncUpdateClassic);
txtInputTLF.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, fncUpdateTLF);

function fncUpdateClassic(e:Event):void
{
    txtOutputClassic.text = txtInputClassic.text;
}

function fncUpdateTLF(e:Event):void
{
    txtOutputTLF.text = txtInputTLF.text;    
}

```
