Huh,

It's funny the obvious things you forget. dumb de dumb dumb.

Thanks, I will just let the users know that little quirk and they can have
an option.

Thanks Alex,

PS, This is just randomness but, in my mind I would assume that since a
mouseOver event is a MouseEvent, that logically it should pass the sate
consistently. That is why I wasted an hour with my code. ;-)

   Mike,

Yeah, we're discussing the player keyboard API internally at Adobe.

You can always listen for keyUp/keyDown on the systemManager and keep
track of SHIFT, but if somebody is really mean and holds down SHIFT while
outside the app then you're out of luck.

 There are workarounds because this type of thing is a common problem.
Search the archives of this list and you should find something.  Solutions
with problems with keyboard events may be similar enough to help you.  I
know I've pointed people to resources on issues similar to this.  I'll see
if I can find them later tonight when i get back to my computer.
