Delete an Item on stage without <Backspace> key [SOLVED]

[chup]

Hi, Currently if i have a text field on screen to keep it stuff and when i press key, it kinda delete away the whole text field.

 

Is there anyway to go about it just to detect the key only for remove of item?

 

 

pls advise.

 

thanks

Which version are you using? AS2 or AS3?

as2.0

Yeah, in the AS2 version, I'd recommend setting allowDelete to false so that you can manage it for yourself. Then you can set up a listener for the "deleteKeyDown" event and in your handler check to see if the target is a TextField or not (or however you want to set up your logic).
