Assigning Keyboard Actions

Question

Hello,
I am wanting my 'H' key to work. I have attached my code
below. The function is basically triggered by an event handler from
another function.
The code I have works if i want to assign a keycode for
SPACEBAR etc however it doesnt work for H.
H only works with the keyCode 72 if the shift key is held in.
This is not what I want, i simply want someone to press the H key
only and they get the desired effect.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Lee

Maybe try TextEvent?
import flash.events.TextEvent;
function keyH(event:TextEvent):void
var pressedKey:String = event.text;
if (pressedKey== "H")
{outputText.text = "You typed H: " + pressedKey;}
entryText.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, keyH);
I have two textfields here.you can do it like
import flash.events.TextEvent;
function keyH(event:TextEvent):void
var pressedKey:String = event.text;
if (pressedKey== "H"){
trace (pressedKey);
object.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, keyH);
