Question

I’m a little confused as to why this isn’t the default behaviour?

So, how do I detect the enter key being pressed on my button and fire the click event handler? (For example on a TextInput field there is an ‘enter’ event)

Thanks

EDIT: Ignore everything I posted before.

You can use the keyDown event on the spark button and create an event handler using KeyboardEvent.

        <s:Button label="Submit" keyDown="enter_pressed(event)" id="submit" click="submit_clickHandler(event)"/>

        protected function enter_pressed(event:KeyboardEvent):void { 
            if(event.charCode == Keyboard.ENTER){
                submit.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK)); 
            }
        }
