Is there a way in Air to use the ios soft keyboard return key to fire a function?

Thanks in advance.

this is incorrect... you can only listen for "DONE" not "Return"...

the enter button will say "Return" if your textfield is multiline. to make it say "DONE" set your textfield to singleline... yeah... exactly

If you are using TextField or StageText, add a event listener for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN or KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP.

Nehgupta,

Thanks for the answer, I'm also wondering if there is a way to prevent the keyboard from hiding when they press return.

Again, thanks so much for your response.

Yes, you can override the default behavior. Listen for KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event and call event.preventDefault() if event.keyCode indicates return key is pressed.

function myKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
{
event.preventDefault();

}

Hope it helps.
