I’m currently making a game that utilizes the Key.isDown() function. When the swf is by itself or in IE, everything works fine. In Firefox, however, I get no response (even after clicking the swf to make sure it’s focused). I’m using the swfObject js method to put the swf into the html page. Is this a known issue?
