I have a flex application that loads and displays a flash swf. This flex component is then embedded in a web page using SWFObject 2.0. The requirement I have is to prevent the up/down/left/right arrow from being handled by the browser i.e. if the flash content results in a vertical scrollbar being placed in the browser and the user presses the up/down/left/right arrow keys when the focus is on the flash content I want to prevent the browser from scrolling. I've tried to handle this by attaching a event listener (in javascript) to the document and returning false this solution seems to work on Firefox and Safari but not on IE.
Any suggestion/directions would be a great help.
