Does Flash / Air have a limit on the number of simultaneous key events it can take in?

Hi there,

 

I'm working on a project where we are using keyboard input to drive events in a game. As it's for an exhibition, we are using more than one USB keyboard and I wondered if there was a limit to the number of keyboard presses that Flash / AIR can register at one time.

 

A crude example would be the UP, LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN, A,D,S & W keys... this could take standard movement events from two players on one computer.

 

Thanks very much for your help

    there's a limit to everything in flash so i'm sure there is for keyevents.  i don't know what that limit is but it should be easy to test.  why don't you test and tell us?
