Description

Callback handler; lets you override the default keyboard navigation with a custom keyboard

handler that you create. For example, instead of having the Left and Right Arrow keys navigate to

the previous and next slides in a presentation, respectively, you could have the Up and Down

Arrow keys perform those functions. For a discussion of the default keyboard handling behavior,

see

Slide.autoKeyNav.

Example

In that example, the default keyboard handling is altered for child slides of the slide to which the

on(load) handler is attached. This handler uses the Up and Down Arrow keys for navigation

instead of the Left and Right Arrow keys.

on (load) {

this.defaultKeyDownHandler = function(eventObj:Object) {

switch (eventObj.code) {

case Key.DOWN :

this.currentSlide.gotoNextSlide();

break;

case Key.UP :

this.currentSlide.gotoPreviousSlide();

break;

default :

break;

}

};

}
