Mouse class 15
The Flash Lite 2.0 implementation of the getCode() method returns a string or a number,
depending on what the platform passed in. The only valid key codes are the standard key
codes accepted by this class and the “special” key codes listed as properties of the
ExtendedKey class. This restriction is enforced by the player. For valid key code values, see the
Key class in the Flash Lite 2.x ActionScript Language Reference. This reference provides tables
that map keys to codes for letters, numbers, the numeric keypad, function keys, special
constant keys, and other keys.
Mouse class
The Mouse class lets you control the mouse in a SWF file; for example, this class lets you hide
or show the mouse pointer.
