on(keyPress) bug?

[mohskeetoh]

I had a scroller that was working perfectly using the on (keyPress "<Down">) script. Then it just stopped working. I dismantled the script and the button and re-did the whole thing, but still no success.

Is there some kind of bug at work here? Has anyone else ever experienced an event handler just dying like that?

Moh,

If you are placing code directly on to an author-time instance of your button you should be using the following:

// this responds to the mouse
on (press) {
  ...
}

// and this responds to the keyboard
onClipEvent (keyDown) {
  ...
}

To my knowledge, keyPress is not supported in MX 2004, only press, release, keyDown, and keyUp.
