The whole notion that Safari sees Flash buttons is wrong. Safari sees a Flash file embedded in a webpage. That Flash file could contain a movie, a button, a whole application, etc. But all Safari knows is it's a Flash file. Safari hands it over to the Flash plugin to render. When keyboard focus enters the Flash embed, Safari hands keyboard events over to the Flash plugin to handle. Safari can't do understand the different components of the Flash file, it's not a Flash player, and Adobe has gone to great lengths to ensure others can't make Flash players. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
