<div>
If I put a statment such as <br />
KeyListener.onKeyDown();<br />
in my code, yes it will call that function. &nbsp;However, objects on the stage are not receiving that Keypress. &nbsp;I think this is on the right track, I just don't know what to pass it. &nbsp;Ie.<br />
KeyListener.onKeyDown(38);<wbr /><br />
does not make flash think that key 38 was just pressed.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have the following code in my Flash AS2 project. The trace works fine and the trace tells me what key was pressed. What I need to do though is actually simulate the keypress. (I have a datagrid object and need to make the focus go down one on the list). So I want to simulate pressing key 38 but am not sure how.<br />
<br />
KeyListener = new Object();<br />
KeyListener.onKeyDown = function(){<br />
trace(&quot;key pressed&quot; + Key.getCode());<br />
}<br />
Key.addListener(KeyListene<wbr />r);<br />
<br />
<br />
(Just a little background. &nbsp;I have a third party drag&amp;drop datagrid component. &nbsp;It doesn't have anything built in to automatically scroll down with the scroll bar. &nbsp;So I want to press &nbsp;the down arrow for the user)
