Key.getAscii want ascii of the char

[adahsrah]

I want to create a custom input text box in as2. so i want to know which character(a,b,c) has been pressed by the user. but Key.getCode() and key.getAscii() both return the same value(key code)
How will i get the ascii of the character presses by the user.

This will trace the letter out. You'll just need to incorporate it into your function:

var keyListener:Object = new Object();

keyListener.onKeyDown = function() 
{   
   checkKey(chr(Key.getAscii()));
};
Key.addListener(keyListener);

function checkKey(pressedKey:String):Void
{
	trace(pressedKey);
}
