It may if its placed in the script. You were using on keydownscript which will not register when you type in teh field. Also note that many keyboards have 2 entere keys with different key codes. :)

i placed another script in the field
on keydown me
if keycode = 36 then
halt
end
when i press enter, the movie is indeed stop.
but, when i change it to
on keydown me
if keycode = 36 then
nothing
end if
end
it's like, all keys disabled... nothing appears in the txtfield... is it cause by the nothing statement?
on keydown me
if keycode = 36 then
halt

You need the else. It needs to be told to pass to allow other keys through.

oh... so, i just have to change it to the following?
on keydown me
if keycode = 36 then
nothing
else
pass
end if
end
on keydown me
if keycode = 36 then
nothing
else
pass
end if
end
Correct. :)
ALso add it for keyUp as well to be safe. SOme keyboards register the events a bit differently.
