Here is the sample movie for this problem:
http://andrewray.me/assets/stuff/test.html

You will notice that if you click on the white textarea, you can type in it and the keyCode is printed at the bottom. NOW, if you click on the black background it launches into fullscreen mode. In fullscreen mode, you CANNOT type in the text area. You can select the text, but you can't type. If you jump out of full screen mode then it works.

What is going on here? Has anyone seen this before? Is it a Flash bug? Here's the code, FLA linked below:

This is in AS3 in Flash CS3. Google isn't yeilding anything. I'm stumped.

It's a security restriction—prevents a swf from imitating an OS and requesting passwords etc. Flash player 10 enables a few keys like up down arrows for gaming.
