Some time ago, someone was looking for a good ASCII chart. I cannot find that post, however, I found a really good chart that displays both the ASCII value, and the key value for keyboard keys.

It is located in the Flash Help, and if you installed Flash (or the 30 day tutorial) in the default directory, you should be able to find it here:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/All%20Users/Application%20Data/Adobe/Flash%20CS3/en/Configuration/HelpPanel/Help/LearningAS2/00001136.html

There is a difference between the keyCode and the charCode of a key. It is all explained there, and when I have a bit more time, I will copy over some of the information here for people with CS4 or without Flash.

Hm... That link didn't seem to work. As usual, the links on AG do not like me.

Try this:
C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Adobe\\Flash CS3\\en\\Configuration\\HelpPanel\\Help\\LearningAS2\\00001136.html

Umm, you're trying to make a link to your computer, since your computer isn't an online drive we can't view it, you must upload it.

Actually, that file is created automatically when you install Flash CS3, but it is possible to create a link in html that allows you to access a file on your own computer, but these forums seem to disable any such links.

Also, I think the problem arises because AG automatically converts all backslashes to double backslashes. It is logical that the text is stored this way for some programming languages to be able to acess the text, but they should have some kind of filter that cleans the text up when being displayed on the forums.

Sorry to spam so much, but I have to get this right. Last try.

Yes. That is the one.

Looks like AG didn't like the way it was formatted.

Just to clarify, each group of three is arranged this way (using the lowercase letter u as an example):
u - the key or character
85 - the key position on the keyboard
117 - the ASCII value of the key

Note that the uppercase U has a different ASCII value, but the same key position, since it uses the same key on a standard keyboard.

Just a tip, for those of you that their 30 day trial has expired.;
The Flash Help can still be accessed! That way, you can still learn Action Script even if your trial has run out, or before you have started the 30 day trial after you have installed Flash for the first time.
All html files for Flash Help is located in: (Please tell me this will work now)
C:/\\Documents and Settings/\\All Users/\\Application Data/\\Adobe/\\Flash CS3/\\en/\\Configuration/\\HelpPanel/\\Help/\\

Even if it does not format correctly, you get the point.
