disable key event

With current technology, you can't prevent the user from pressing keys, but you can ignore any key presses that they make. Here's a handler that will make your movie ignore everything except vowels:

on startMovie()

  the keyDownScript = \

"if "&QUOTE&"aeiou"&QUOTE&" contains the key then"&RETURN&\

"    -- Let the key press be treated"&RETURN&\

"  else"&RETURN&\

"    stopEvent"&RETURN&\

"  end if"

end

If the #keydown event is stopped then no sprite or member will receive an indication that a character has been typed.

You might like to look at the keydown event handler and build your own custom solution.
