title: Flex Catch Keydown
body: <p>I want to handle the keydown event globally in my application and as such have added the event handler to the top most DisplayObject in the display list. However, the event doesn't seem to fire unless the cursor focus is on a Textbox or Datagrid or the like.</p>
  
  <p>How can I have key presses handled globaly by the application?</p>
