Keycode Trace Function not outputting all Keycodes

Question

The trace function in this file doesn't output all of the
keycodes on my keyboard. Some letters generate a keycode and others
don't. For instance, "u" outputs 85 but "i" outputs nothing.
Here's the trace function...
trace(event.keyCode);
And here's the rest of the code which is a work in
progress...
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.display.StageAlign;
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.KeyboardEvent;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
public class Velocity3D extends Sprite

public function Velocity3D()
init();
private function init():void
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
ball = new Ball(40, 0xff0000);
ballb = new Ball(40, 0xffff00);
addChild(ball);
addChild(ballb);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

if(zpos > -fl)
var scale:Number = fl / (fl + zpos);
ball.scaleX = ball.scaleY = scale;

private function onKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void
trace(event.keyCode);
switch(event.keyCode)
case 87 :

break;
case Keyboard.NUMPAD_2 :

break;
case Keyboard.NUMPAD_4 :
vx -= 1;
break;
case Keyboard.NUMPAD_6 :
vx += 1;
break;
case Keyboard.UP :

break;
case Keyboard.DOWN :
vz -= 1;
break;
case Keyboard.F1: //82

break;
case Keyboard.F2 : //67

break;
case Keyboard.F3 : //68

break;
case Keyboard.F5 : //65
vzb += 1;
break;
case Keyboard.F6 : //90
vzb -= 1;
break;
default :
break;
This is the ball class...
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Ball extends Sprite {
public var radius:Number;
private var color:uint;
public var vx:Number = 0;
public var vy:Number = 0;
public var mass:Number = 1;
public function Ball(radius:Number=40, color:uint=0xff0000)
this.radius = radius;
this.color = color;
init();
public function init():void {
graphics.beginFill(color);
graphics.drawCircle(0, 0, radius);
graphics.endFill();
}

Answer 1

Okay, when I open the KeyViewer.swf file from the Colin Moock
book when not in Flash. All the keycodes show up when I run the
program. However, when I open the KeyViewer.as file and create a
.fla file in Flash then run the program using Ctrl+Enter, some of
the keycodes don't show up. Same problem as the other program. Why
would a .swf outside of Flash work correctly but the .swf when used
in Flash doesn't? Even the new .swf file that is created when I
press Ctrl+Enters works correctly when I open it outside of Flash.
But when I open it in Flash it doesn't work. Weird.
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.text.*;
import flash.ui.*;
// Displays the keycode and character code for any key
pressed.
public class KeyViewer extends Sprite {
private var keyoutput:TextField;
public function KeyViewer () {
keyoutput = new TextField();
keyoutput.text = "Press any key...";
keyoutput.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
keyoutput.border = true;
keyoutput.background = true;
addChild(keyoutput);
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN,
keyDownListener);
private function keyDownListener (e:KeyboardEvent):void {
keyoutput.text = "The key code for the key you pressed is: "
+ e.keyCode + "\n";
keyoutput.appendText("The character code for the key you
pressed is: "
+ e.charCode + "\n");
keyoutput.appendText("The character for the key you pressed
is: "
+ String.fromCharCode(e.charCode));
