I would like to use shortcuts in my flash program like (Ctrl+N etc) but when I do Flash captures the key instead of my movie, even running it in a browser (the browser reacts) or running it alone (swf or exe) doesn’t seem to work.

I tried to use the \*fscommand (“trapallkeys”,“true”) \*Which I suspect doen’t want to work because I use a Key Listener instead of the onClipEvent function.

Is this problem unsolvable ?
