Take the tour ×  One of our application is implemented in flex
and adobe air. We want to have the user press combination of
keys, say 'ABC', and have the keyboard return a different
character, 'FOG', to whatever app is in focus. This should work
even if app has no focus.  Will it possible in Adobe Air/Flex?
If yes, provide me some examples?  Thanks in advance

down vote accepted  That won't work. Flash/AIR can only listen
to keyboard events when it has focus, so as a background
application it won't be able to manipulate the key codes that
come directly from the driver.  Even if it was possible to
notice when a key was pressed, it is not possible to change that
value. So if you want to change which key codes are returned,
you should rather write a driver for it, or try to get access to
it with a lower level approach (C & WinAPI maybe).
