Global Event Listeners?

[Will Maynard]

I'm trying to capture some keyboard input, but I'm not sure how I can go about it.

I would like to bind certain functions to key presses - e.g. [Esc] to cancel when on certain screens in my app.

I'm using HaxeUI, so as far as I know, I don't have a Flash stage I can use to do this.  Is there any way to hook the keys and do something with the presses?

This should be the close enough to a stage: http://haxeui.org/docs/api/haxe/ui/toolkit/core/DisplayObject.html#root

Best,

Juraj

Yeah, "DisplayObject.root" would do it, and if you arent using mulitple roots, you could use "RootManager.instance.currentRoot", or if you are "RootManager.instance.roots[n]". You do have access to the underlying sprite also, so you could also do "DisplayObject.sprite.stage", and a root is just a display object so "RootManager.instance.currentRoot.sprite.stage" would also work. :)

Or you could just use "openfl.Lib.current.stage"... heh heh.

Cheers,

Ian

Thanks, Ian!

openfl.Lib.current.stage did the trick.

I actually tried using Lib.current.stage (without openfl) last week with no success, but with how much the code has changed since then, I can't really compare what exactly is different now.

Sincerely,

Will
