How to make a curly bracket??

Hey.. I just bought a MacBook Pro - hoping to get some serious machine for my flash-production (but I must say I'm rather sad about the speed of it. It's kinda slow when running dreamweaver, flash & photoshop)
Anywho.
In flash when I do my actionscripting, I need to make quite a few curly brackets - { } - but I just can't figure out where they are on my macbook keyboard. http://www.squint.dk/fonts.png - I found it in here. But which keys do I press?

Keyboard layouts vary widely around the world, so you always need to tell people what layout you are using. I'll assume it is the Danish layout. You can find out what key does what using Keyboard Viewer, which you activate in system prefs/international/input menu, like a keyboard layout.

For Danish, curly brackets should be at Option + Shift 8 and 9. {}

You mean these guys: {}?

There they are, just shift+[ or shift+], just beside the return key...

Adobe having taken over Macromedia is going to take a while to make those applications Universal according to Adobe's website. Once they are, you'll see them run at native speeds for the MacBook Pro. Right now they are using Rosetta. I find for webpage editing when it comes to HTML, BBEdit is by far the fastest and most accurate from http://www.barebones.com/

Look for Universal applications to come out from the variety of sources I've listed on http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#INTEL

Hm, sounds like they're -not- eliminated. (I don't have a Mac yet)

Of course they are not eliminated. They are also not where Mr. Devlin says they are for someone in Denmark, otherwise that fellow would hardly have asked the question.
