Hi, when I test my project in flash CS4, both the flash player and the authoring tool detect my keystrokes. Is there a way to make the authoring tool ignore key input while testing a movie, since I really only intend the key presses for the movie? It’s pretty annoying 🙂

unrelated side question: has anyone else found trace() to be much, much slower in CS4?
