Simple code Help

[giulian]

Hi, I have code such as the following in my flash file

search_btn.onRelease = function () {
found = false;
searchForWord();
}

what this does is it allows for text to be typed in a text bar and then searched with the search_btn. It works great however can anyone help me please on how to add in this code to also accept keypress of Enter. So that the user can click the button or just press enter.

Thanks in advance

From Flash help for Button.onKeyDown.

my_btn.onKeyDown = function() {
  trace("onKeyDown: "+this._name+" (Key: "+getKeyPressed()+")");
};
function getKeyPressed():String {
  var theKey:String;
  switch (Key.getAscii()) {
  case Key.BACKSPACE :
    theKey = "<BACKSPACE>";
    break;
  case Key.SPACE :
    theKey = "<SPACE>";
    break;
  default :
    theKey = chr(Key.getAscii());
  }
  return theKey;
}

It always pays to look around in the help files

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
