The old vent system was one of the things I really found limiting to work with.

AS3 with addEventListener was like a breath of fresh air.

Then Flash died.

> The actual events are onKeyDown and onKeyUp which you can listen for on individual icons, rather than rootIcon.

Perfect.
I can use the onKeyUp to close the Help screen.

Cheers,

I have a text entry that uses an onKeyPress/rootIcon event setup to evaluate each key as it is pressed.

Now, there is a help screen that the user can invoke, and to dismiss it they can "Press any Key".
That also traps for the onKeyPress/rootIcon event

Of course, my text entry now stops functioning.
Once an event is re-used is the original gone?
Can a keypress event iconid be more local?
(I've never got it to work with anything but rootIcon as the broadcaster).
