Hello,

I was hoping to use the slider component to control some parameters in a game. However, after clicking on the slider to adjust it, the arrow keys start controlling the slider and stop controlling the character in the game.

Is there a way to disable arrow key control of flash’s built in slider component?

Thanks for any help.
