Capture key combination

[lindaT]

Using Flash MX, I am trying to capture a Control + F for a system simulation. I have the book "ActionScript for Flash MX" and it gives some ActionScript code for this, but I cannot get it to work. Here is the code:

keyListener = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function () {
	if(Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.isDown(70)){
		gotoAndStop("result");
	}
}
key.addListener(keyListener);

If I take one or the other Key.isDown component out, it works, but not when both are included.
Suggestions?

this will work, just attach it to a movie clip:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
  if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.isDown(70)) {
    gotoAndStop("result");
  }
}

im no key expert, but I noticed some strange things about the code you posted:
1) it works if you do a SHIFT+CTRL+F or an ALT+CTRL+F
2) it also works if you tap CTRL and F exactly simultaneously.

draw your own conclusions... i cant explain exactly why your code doesnt work.
