Hello,

I have this problem/bug in Firefox.

What I have is this:  
An input textfield with embedded font (numerals). Only numeric input is allowed in this textfield

Here’s the problem:  
The font exports just fine but when I load my movie in firefox and I want to fill in some numbers with the numeric keys below the function keys, it does not work. I get &é"’ (instead of 1234 etc.) Input with the numeric keypad work just fine but I don’t want to confuse users who do their input with those keys. Besides, users with a notebook won’t be able to do any input at all I think… does anyone know what the problem is?

hope someone can help 🙂  
thx!
