410 Chapter 12: ActionScript Dictionary
The following example assigns the keyboard shortcut 7 to a button with an instance
name of myButton, and makes information about the shortcut available to screen readers (see
_accProps ). In this example, when you press 7 the
myOnPress
function displays the text
"hello" in the Output panel; in your file, you would create a function that does something more
meaningful.
function myOnPress() {
trace( "hello" );
}
function myOnKeyDown() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CONTROL) && Key.getCode() == 55) // 55 is key code for 7
{
Selection.setFocus( myButton );
myButton.onPress();
}
}
var myListener = new Object();
myListener.onKeyDown = myOnKeyDown;
Key.addListener( myListener );
myButton.onPress = myOnPress;
myButton._accProps.shortcut = "Ctrl+F"
Accessibility.updateProperties();
