Hi Matt,


Well, I just tried to get the problem to come up to test your suggestion,

but couldn't get it to ignore the key, always worked. I'll try it when it

happens again, but I think that since this IS a Flash-only problem, it

should be treated as a bug and fixed for the next version. Just saying to

click on the stage first is a hack fix. It should recognize the keys I type

- every other program I use does.


Especially since it won't recognize command-S to save. And I don't know if

it has saved or not (since it sometimes saves too fast to get a clock or

delay), so to be sure I have to go under the file menu and select save EVERY

TIME I save.


Just so darn annoying, y'know.


Thanks for the info.
