Keyboard input
Your application can capture and respond to keyboard input and can manipulate an IME to let users type non-ASCII text characters in multibyte languages. Note that this section assumes that you are already familiar with the ActionScript 3.0 event model. For more information, see Handling events.
For information on discovering what kind of keyboard support is available (such as physical, virtual, alphanumeric, or 12-button numeric) during runtime, see Discovering input types.
An Input Method Editor (IME) allows users to type complex characters and symbols using a standard keyboard. You can use the IME classes to enable users to take advantage of their system IME in your applications.
