Onkeyup (Movieclip.onkeyup Handler) - MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-FLASH LITE 2.X ACTIONSCRIPT LANGUAGE Reference

The movie clip must have focus for the onKeyDown event handler to work. Add the
following ActionScript to set input focus:
my_mc.tabEnabled = true;
my_mc.focusEnabled = true;
Selection.setFocus(my_mc);
When you tab to the movie clip and press a key, is displayed in the Output
key was pressed
panel. However, this does not occur after you move the mouse, because the movie clip loses
focus. Therefore, you should use in most cases.
