Keyboard usage while in full screen mode with Flash

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes.html#features_ocre See “Limited Fullscreen Keyboard Access”

I’ve been wanting this feature in for the longest time… and now it’s in the flash player (currently in beta).

Basically now you can create Flash games that go in full screen mode and be able to use certain keys that are often used by games. We had initially prevented keyboard access altogether for security reasons… like phishing… but i guess you can’t really phish too much out of arrow keys, space bar, enter, etc…. but you can make some great games this way.

Hope you guys like this new feature :-)
