Keyboard on screen

Question

Hello  everybody,
I’m trying to create a monitor keyboard (for touchscreen  devices) but currently I have inserted just 4 keys in order to find the  right method. I thought I could use dispatchEvent to simulate the  pressure exerted on a key of the keyboard every time I press a button  component on the screen. The simulation seems to work (as the listener I  have set on KEYDOWN events correctly detects the pressure on the key)  but the problem is I can’t write down anything...
Thanks  in advance to anyone who will be willing to help me! Here is the code
Of course all this should work on an AIR application created  with FLASH BUILDER (sdk 3.5)

Where can I change language since I use different languages it is still set po polish making typing in other languages hard
To change the spelling language you must change the keyboard. You do that via a little "globe" key once you have added other keyboards in Settings. Read the User Guide.
