text input & enter/return

[timeba]

I was wondering how i could code this so when i hit the enter key in the text input field it does the same as clicking the send button.

I have googled this for hours and i cant seem to find something that works.

This is for a TelnetSocket using AS3

You can download the files i have Here (adobe live docs site) **look for the TelnetSocket file

package 
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.utils.ByteArray;
	import flash.events.MouseEvent;
	import com.example.programmingas3.socket.Telnet;
	
	public class TelnetSocket extends Sprite 
	{
        private var telnetClient:Telnet;

		public function TelnetSocket() {
			setupUI();
		}
		private function connect(e:MouseEvent):void {
			telnetClient = new Telnet(serverName.text, int(portNumber.text), output);
		}
		private function sendCommand(e:MouseEvent):void {
			var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
			ba.writeMultiByte(command.text + "\n", "UTF-8");
			telnetClient.writeBytesToSocket(ba);
			command.text = "";
		}
		private function setupUI():void {
			loginBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,connect)	
			sendBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,sendCommand); //<-- Here is the "Send" button
		}		
	}
}

I would appreciate any help thanks guys.

You can try this. 13 is the code for the enter button.

addEventListener (KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
function keyDownHandler (event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
if(event.keyCode==13)
{
trace("yes");
}
}

When you type in the textinput and then press the enter key it will trace.

i asked the same question last night on the adobe boards here was the answer that i got. (it works!)

package 
{
	import flash.display.Sprite;
	import flash.utils.ByteArray;
	import flash.events.MouseEvent;
	import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;  // NEW
	import com.example.programmingas3.socket.Telnet;
		
	public class TelnetSocket extends Sprite 
	{
		private var telnetClient:Telnet;
	
		public function TelnetSocket() {
			setupUI();
		}
		private function connect(e:MouseEvent):void {
			telnetClient = new Telnet(serverName.text, 
						int(portNumber.text), output);
		}
		private function sendCommand():void {
			var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
			ba.writeMultiByte(command.text + "\n", "UTF-8");
			telnetClient.writeBytesToSocket(ba);
			command.text = "";
		}
		private function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
			sendCommand();
		}
		private function keyHandler(e:KeyboardEvent)
		{
		if(e.keyCode==13 && (!(e.altKey || e.ctrlKey)) && e.target==command.textField)
		{
		sendCommand();
		}
		}
		private function setupUI():void {
			loginBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,connect)	
			sendBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickHandler);
			this.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyHandler);
		}		
	}
}
