AS3 | Event Listener for press Delete button

Question

I need an Event Listener for press Delete button from keyboard.

I try with this code:

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, deleteItem);
function deleteItem(e:KeyboardEvent) {
   if(e.charCode == 46){
       trace('1');
   }
}

but don't work. Please help me!

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyboardEventUPHandler, false, 0, true);

function keyboardEventUPHandler(event:KeyboardEvent):void 
{
    if(event.keyCode == Keyboard.DELETE)
    {
        //Keyboard.DELETE = 46
        //do something
    }
}
