Edition

Flash MX Professional 2004.

Usage

mySlide.autoKeyNav

Description

Property; determines whether the slide uses default keyboard handling to navigate to the next/previous slide when mySlide has focus. This property accepts the string values "true", "false", and "inherit". You can override this default keyboard handling behavior by using the Slide.defaultKeydownHandler property.

When the value of this property is "true", pressing the Right Arrow key (Key.RIGHT) or the Spacebar (Key.SPACE) when mySlide has focus advances to the next slide; pressing the Left Arrow key (Key.Left) moves to the previous slide.

When this property is set to "false", no default keyboard handling takes place when mySlide has focus.

When this property is set to "inherit", mySlide checks the autoKeyNav property of its parent slide. If it is also set to "inherit", Flash looks up the slide inheritance chain until it finds a parent slide whose autoKeyNav property is set to "true" or "false".

If mySlide has no parent slide (that is, if the statement (mySlide.parentIsSlide == false) is true), it behaves as if autoKeyNav had been set to "true".

Example

This example turns off automatic keyboard navigation for the slide named loginSlide.
