Flex Esc key should close opened pop-up window; How to close pop-up windows with Esc key Flex

To make Esc key close the current window you need to bind events:

<s:Group  xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
         xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
         xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
         xmlns:local="*"
         width="1216" height="562" keyDown="group1_keyDownHandler(event)" creationComplete="titlewindow1_creationCompleteHandler(event)">

 

group1_keyDownHandler function is an event handler for user clicks:

protected function group1_keyDownHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void
            {
                if (event.keyCode == Keyboard.ESCAPE) {
                    button1_clickHandler(null);
                }
            }

You need to bind event listener to this function manually as well (don’t really know why because you did it earlier):

protected function titlewindow1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
            {
                stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, group1_keyDownHandler);
            }

I have added some imports to enable events. These are:

      import flash.display.*;
      import flash.events.*;
      import flash.text.*;
      import flash.ui.Keyboard;
