Key Code Class for Actionscript 3

Just a quickie for today.

It’s pretty trivial to write a keyboard handler in AS3. However, I found it more annoying to simply create a nice complete keycode class where I can refer to all the keys by named constants.

There are one or two pages with the info (with some minor errors), but it’s not in a very convenient format. Therefore, I give you the Keys class for your convenience:

package

public class Keys
