Passing keystrokes from air browser to flash game

Here’s my situation - I am accessing some games that my company built using a AIR browser (allowing us to sell an installable product on a CD, but keeping the content online for ease of maintenance). I can get the games to load, but i cant get them to accept keystrokes, ie: we have a tetris-like game that isnt getting any of the arrow key inputs. I’m fairly certain this has something to do with a focus issue, but I have no idea how to fix it. Any suggestions would be welcome.
