I have skin a button with up, down, over, and disable states. I hope to know if there a code enable a button to keep press (down state) when the user press and hold a specific key link to that button. Something like down_button state.

I would suggest you inherit from Button and override the KeyUp handler to maintain the "down" state if the Ctrl button is pressed.

    <mx:Button autoRepeat="true" buttonDown="rotate()" label="Rotate"/>
    <mx:Canvas id="can" backgroundColor="#CA3859" width="200" height="200" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"/>    
</mx:Application>

set autoRepeat=true and use buttonDown event, insated of mouseDown. u'll get it
