Virtual keyboards

Flash Player 10.2 and later, AIR 2.6 and later

Mobile devices, such as phones and tablets, often provide a virtual, software keyboard instead of a physical one. The classes in the Flash API let you:

  • Detect when the virtual keyboard is raised and when it closes.

  • Prevent the keyboard from raising.

  • Determine the area of the stage obscured by the virtual keyboard.

  • Create interactive objects that raise the keyboard when they gain focus. (Not supported by AIR applications on iOS.)

  • (AIR only) Disable the automatic panning behavior so that your application can modify its own display to accommodate the keyboard.
