keyCode Keyboard Events

[padrepio]

The following code is giving me an error 1119:

function keyPressed(event:Event):void {
if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER) {
mainText.text = myGreeter.sayHello(textIn.text);
}
}

The error says Access of possibly undefined property keyCode through a reference with static type flash.events.Event if(keyCode == Keyboard.ENTER).

Should the double equals sign (equality) be a single one?

I'm not positive, and I can't test this, but the keyCode for the enter button is 13 so what if you try

if(event.keyCode == 13){

or
if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.13){

No, that didn't work. The error I'm getting now is 1119: Access of possibly undefined property keyCode through a reference with a static type flash.events.Event. This code comes from Adobe's PDF entitled Programming ActionScript 3.0.

Thanks.

That is because your function is receiving and event of type Event. I believe the type should be KeyboardEvent.
