Question

Keyboard Input Non-Functional

When I attempt to play any flash game on any given website I get no feedback from the game. Mouse movements and clicks do, however, work. I'm running on an iMac G5 with the latest Flash Player installed. I've tried uninstalling Flash then reinstalling as well as several different browsers (Safari, Firefox, Opera) to no avail.
I've noticed a few topics about this problem around the web with no answer... I'm hoping there is one :\

Thanks in advance!

    I am using a Bluetooth keyboard. I've noticed that the issue does resolve itself when using a USB keyboard.
    Ex: launch flash game with BT keyboard, games ignores keyboard input. Connect USB keyboard - game responds normally and the keys on the BT are still ignored.
    Leaging the game running, switch to textedit and all the keys on the BT keyboard are recognized. Back to the game = BT ignored, USB works.

    I'd like to blame this all on Adobe but Why would Apple even make is possible to distinguish between a BT and USB keyboard at the Application level?

    Are you using a bluetooth keyboard? Are the issues present if you use a USB keyboard?
