Javascript Detect 'Shift' Key Down Within Another Function
<p>I am calling a Javascript function in my html page from a Flash movie (using ExternalInterface) and I want to know if the user has the Shift key down when the function is called.</p>

<p>It seems straight forward if, for example, I call the function from a mouse click because I can pass the event and check 'if (event.shiftKey)'. I don't have an event to check!</p>

<p>Many thanks</p>
