No there is nothing wrong with the enter key.
The only problem is that some keys don't respond to event listeners in flash compiler.

BUT if you open the SWF file in a browser like IE or Mozila it will work.

Del key has the same issue

Thanks for your reply

Actually the listener is getting fired only the problem is in that listener when i try to trace the text inside that textbox it does not even gives the trace alert.

what can be the solution?

Are you sure the listener function is getting fired? because as far as I know even if you trace an empty string the trace window will appear.

Try to test your SWF in a browser. If it doesn't solve the problem then show the script, maybe I can help you fix it
