I'm trying to demonstrate a navigation functionality. Here's what I want the user to accomplish: 1) place cursor in a text entry box and enter letters 2) when the right combination of letters ('md') is entered, I want a previously not-visible UI listbox to become visible, get the focus, and have item [0] selected. 3) The user will then use keyboard arrows to select the appropriate list item and push the enter key. What I've Done: I've added a listener to the textbox. onKeyUp I check the value of the textbox and if it == 'md' then I removeListener, set listbox._visible=true, set listbox selection Index to 0, and give it the focus. Problem: One would think that the user should be able to then push the down arrow on the keyboard to move the selection to item 1, again to item 2, etc. That is not the case! The user must push the arrow key TWO times before the listbox responds! Once the arrow key is pressed two times, everything works great, but it does not respond to the first push of the arrow key. Why? and what can I do to fix this? Loading...
