Createjs keyboard input

[Zanollo]

Hi, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to check for keyboard input while targeting js (using createjs for Haxe) .

I know that in js I can use "this.document.onkeydown = handlerFunction... " but can't find a way to do it on Haxe.

I read that something like "stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown);" should work buuut KeyboardEvent doesn't have the KEY_DOWN property... at least not in Haxe3

Sorry if there's a similar question (couldn't find one) and sorry if it's a very simple/easy/boring question :)

Thanks in advance for the answers

Try:

var something = new js.html.Document();
something.onkeydown = function(e){}.

The addEventListener is probably from nme or openfl.

The solution isn't anything CreateJS or Haxe specific.  From awe6 CreateJS InputKeyboard:

https://github.com/hypersurge/awe6/blob/master/lib/awe6/core/drivers/createjs/InputKeyboard.hx

var document = js.Browser.document; // must be linked to Browser

document.addEventListener( "keydown", _onKeyDown );

document.addEventListener( "keyup", _onKeyUp );

Also, consider scenarios where content is contained within an IFrame (common for HTML5 rich media, games etc), and the document will not have focus by default.

js.Browser.window.focus() on mousedown & touchstart is a useful addition for that.
