Key.CAPSLOCK
Availability
Flash Player 5.
Usage
Key.CAPSLOCK:Number
Description
Property; constant associated with the key code value for the Caps Lock key (20).
Example
The following example creates a new listener object and defines a function for onKeyDown. The
last line uses
addListener() to register the listener with the Key object so that it can receive
notification from the key down event.
var keyListener:Object = new Object();
keyListener.onKeyDown = function() {
if (Key.isDown(Key.CAPSLOCK)) {
trace("you pressed the Caps Lock key.");
trace("\tCaps Lock == "+Key.isToggled(Key.CAPSLOCK));
}
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);
Information displays in the Output panel when you press the Caps Lock key. The Output panel
displays either
true or false, depending on whether the Caps Lock is activated using the
isToggled method.
